The plan was to approach Suffolk from the direction of Edenton, Winton or some point on the Chowan, by a land force, while the gunboats at Old Point would attempt to ascend the Nansemond river, at the same time.

Congress ought to provide at once for the construction of a fleet, such as the interests of the country require, and which would afford a field for the naval talent and energy of
