The Daily Dispatch: December 12, 1862., [Electronic resource], The report of the Yankee Secretary of the navy. (search)
The report of the Yankee Secretary of the navy. We presented a few days ago a brief synopsis of the report of Lincoln's Secretary of the Navy, which alluded to the operations of that particular branch of the service since the war commenced.--This morning we give some extracts from that portion of the report in which the Secretary's views are given with reference to the establishment of a navy yard for the construction of iron clad vessels of war.

He knows how easy it is to talk about the war, strategical positions, victories, &c., and how pleasant it is to some to float along with this popular current; but the time is coming when some one must strike for the right, regardless of consequences. He alludes to the duration of the war, the Yankee national debt, the numbers killed, wounded, and deceased, and thinks these things demonstrate the futility of war alone to extricate the country from its difficulties. He agrees with Lincoln's prophetic remarks in his inaugural address, that, after the war was over, "the identical old questions as to terms of intercourse" would be up for settlement; and although the time to cease fighting may not yet have arrived, the period has surely come when other means besides the sword should be employed to save the Government and country. He next denounces the subjugation of the South, and the extermination of her people; and expresses himself in favor of re-establishing "the Union
