The Daily Dispatch: April 21, 1862., [Electronic resource], Still later. (search)
ee appointed to investigate the causes of our disaster on Roanoke Island in February last, has made its report. The following is the conclusion, from which it will be seen that the whole blame is thrown upon the shoulders of Gen. Huger and Secretary Benjamin. It is apparent to the committee, from the correspondence on file of Gen. Wise with the Secretary of War, Gen. Huger, his superior Officer the Governor of North Carolina, and other persons, that he was fully alive to the importance of ion, and save his command? But, upon the contrary, he was required to remain, and sacrificed his command, with no means to his insulated position to make his escape in case of defeat. The committee, from the testimony, are therefore constrained to report that, whatever of blame and responsibility is justly attributable to any one for the defeat of our troops at Roanoke Island, on the 8th of February, 1862, should attach to Major-General B. Huger and the late Secretary of War, J. P. Benjamin.
