So that by either method of calculation it is
demonstrated ibat the balance of trade, remains
durii g the jeurs of war as it was before with the
United States, and not with foreign countries in
general, nor with Uru.U llritain in particular.
The second division of Mr. Illo Iget's picnuhlet
treats of the "increased quantities of important
articles produced in the United .Suite-;" aud its
aim is to .show that our actual products have not
fallen oil' in consequence of the war, but h ive.
Ik en in fact largely augmented during its con
tinuance. To this view we have no other suggestion to
make than that, while we accept the evidence of
increased values, we cannot suppose aud we do
not know Unit Mr. biodKet means to arguu that
the condition of the country is more f.ivorahlu
than it would have been had there been no war.
That it is in advance of what it was lo ir years
ago is abundantly demonstrated by the facts
which this pamphlet' adduces, hut wo conceive it
to be equally demons! rated that this increase is
not iu consequence of the war, but in spite of it.
To many branches of industry the wur has sup
plied an unwonted stimulus, but it is Impossible
to suppose that on the whole the United States
would not have been a richer country if the ener
gies of a million of its citizens had been turned
meadily to productive, instead of destructive em
ployments. We can present Mr. Blodgct's figures only In
the most condensed form. Ho shows that the
eastward tonnugo of all classes of merchandise
increa-e.l from 4 731 711 tons in to ti,'.".l l,l.'l
tons in 1KU3 ; in which the New York can -lis, the
Isew Yoik Central, the Erie, aud the Pennsyl
vania Huilri.ads uie included. Tlio total tonua,ro
increased in the samu years from 7,7Sij,;iJl to
1(I,;V,I.i.21k. Kiaooiate laities of different articles
moving at the different important poln's ure
givenat C'hicavo, Milwuukee, at tin en liny, at
Toledo, at llulluo. In every cusu thj positive
incrcuse of lsb l ovtr US' 10 und ls.'i!! is enormous;
and Ihis whether the total tonnage, or e u sp :
citic article be considered. At Chicago, for
Instance :
MThe tneri asc of w heat is nearly twloa, of corn nivirly

lsitit, reiliii'liui all K'am crops lariely turlow tho uvorae of
i'ars, oilierwine tlio ratio of increase from Is ill to Isij
vtoulo have oven ma.nluuied."
At the same pluco the increase in cattle, hogs,
beef, pork, lurd, tallow, and bacon, far exceeds
the incieaie in grain. At Milwaukee, tho increase
in gruiii is nearly threefold iu five ye us. At
Green Hay, the increase is nearly fourfold in 1S03
over lMiO.
At llnil'alo the total in bushels of grain ia
creased from 37 .OHO, liil, in lMK), to ; 1,73V10 in
lH(;;i, l'ork and beef at the same point were, la
iHii'J, 44 01U,H.iU lbs.; in lml3, 1 tl,4Jrt,SI los.;
mod at the other principal puinta where tbis great
Dioven-ent of produce may lie measured, ut
Cleveland, Urie, Dunkirk, Niagara, Uswego,
Oudensburg, and Cbaniplsin, similar results are
presented. Tho general rasult is showa Q tlio

and grain compare as tollows: In lo.,9'

The same or elmilur propm-tl ins of increase
Mr. HliHlgett bhows to have occurred iu the pro
duction of iron, of copper, and of coal, while to
take one article, wl'l h bos been almost created
as a community of commerce within the same
period, petroleum, the increase is from b'ds.

We nre not of tho.-e I.o expci led va .t a lvau
tucs from General Sherman's itiivintte tor m;;li
(iiorgin, viewed merely as a mi '.
Georgia is undoubtedly tho jrruiiary of the
Confederacy, and to destroy its harvests will
cripple Lee's army this winter. Tho carrying on"
of cuttle and horses w ill be-ides lame tho trans
porting power of the Kebel Confederacy. All
these ate bent fits of tome importance w hich wo
shall derive from Sherman's Invasion.
Hut, on the other hand, the Confederacy Is
essentially an ugrteultur.il State. Vast oreadLhs
of laud iu South Carolina, K later a (ieorii, and
Noith C uo ina, formerly planted with cotton,
Li.ve been, tluiing the last year, sown with wheat
and corn. It will be exceedingly dillioult to
starve i ut such a community.
Again, a destructive iniaiion of this kind
creates a vast number of tie v enemies, l .very
mau robbed and stripped by the leinp jst of de
struction now sweeping through (corria, is
henceforth a hundred-fold more bitter liater of
the North and he Union than ever before. All
iloubtful und lukewarm Southerners in that Suite
have undoubtedly become now intense Seces
sionists. It is just as il would be here if Leo
Nhi uld sw eep the batiks of tho Hudson In n broad
truck ol desolation from Albany to Now York,
leaving nothing but blaekenod homesteads aud
wasted farms.
There would be but one effect f'.very Copper
head would become at once a violent Unionist,
even perhaps a "black Abolitionist." Patriotism,
hatred of tho invader, would be tenfold more
Hrong; for there is a certain limit, beyond which'
ifvou injure a man, nothing is left but hate and
despair. Uvery raid into South or North has a
tendency, without question, "to encourage enlist
ments" on the other side.
Still, these are the necessary evils of war. It
solidities each side. A people like the An.;!o
Aniericun could never be reduced to submission
by burning their horns or plundering their houses.
'1 be sole and tho grand importance of the in
vasion of Sherman wo hold to bo its niilit iry
aim. the cities on lis line ot maieu are m no
consequence to him, unless he can destroy their
tlepots of supplies and their arsenals. Savannah
ltwlt is of little iinportaiiiu, in a military point of
view. The great ends gained by his b ild move
ment will be bisection of the great southern rail
road system, the large force of iihlo-h nlied
negroes he may acquiru, both for further military
and pioneer purposes, and, above all, the indu
ctee he will at once exert on tho Virginia cam
paign. General Sherman, we may be sure, with his
long htad, is aiming at something more than
burning towns, grain, corn-cribs, or capturing
useless cities, lie is, besides, only a lieutenant
of General Grant; his movement is murely part
of the great strategic plan which covers the whole
country.
Having gained a new base on tho Georgia
coast, reprovisioncd his trams, renewed his am
munition, aud rested his men, we tiny con
fidently expot t that his next movement will oe
northward. He may even pass by Savannah and
Chailcston both, make a new ba-o at Hull's iitiy,
and a secondary base at ilrnnchville, and then
ca-ily hold bulb lints of the Kcbcl railroad sys
tem, the upper und lower.
From this point ho could ensily operate tow ards
North Carolina, sweeping the coiiutry bdore
hiiu, until he hud formed a new base on the North
Carolina coast, ami begun bis grand ha it march
Into Virginia und tbo rear ot U-e.
This would bo the closing act of tho Rebellion,
and l ee w ould bo placed in even a worse position
than was Cornwullis at Yorktown.
One eiiittftwiM, however, might occur, which
these supposed movements could not prevent.
If Hoi d should break through into K.ist Tennes
see, there would be a new link of communica
tion loiind lsetw. cn the eastern and western sec
tions of the Confederacy. Leo could be rein
forced from tho west, or lie could retreat to the
u.ountaius, and tratmler the war to Tennessee;
aud Kentucky. We must hope that General
Thomas will put a ropt any such concent a
tioii, und that that Important mountain region
w Ui still be held by our forces.

It lias ni vcr been the purpose of the Depirt
n cut, in any of its suggestion.- or recommenda
tions, to increiiRi' the number of our n tw yards,
nor to alter the.r local distribution. The aid
which we now have at Philadelphia in altogether
inadequate to our present or future wan's. It
was proposed, thcreioro, to substitute a now one
on the Delaware, In ti e vicinity of Philadelphia.
I.eiigue island, within the limps of that city, it
adopted as a site, must gradually absorb the
works at the present yard, which would then bo
iii-continued.
NAVAL STITI'INS.
All of our present n ivy yards, it will be rc
nii inhered, were established tor the Construction
und repair of wooden sailing vessels. Steam and
aiinorttl vessels have superseded these, and the
inability of our pn sent establishments fur the
wi rk imposed by this war has been the source of
inexpressible nnxiety, anil otten of great disap
pointment and public injury. To relieve the
navy yaitls liom work which they hive but
limit' tl means to execute, and to secure necessary
ri pans, the Department has been coinpolltd ti)
establish stations for machinery, and means of
relitine lit, at Mound City, Memphis, New Orleans,
fsldp Island, I'ensncola, Key West, l'ort Kovul,
Ueaufort, Norfolk, and llaltunore.
Hut these and all the priva'o estab'i .union's of

bten in-ullicii'iit to keep tho present navv iu

power by which our ships would be oticn disa

abundance the means of creating and sustaining
one, has not, in all the navy yards combined, the
appliances possessed by single establishments in
hi gland und France.
Were thero outside of our navy yards establish
ment to perforin promptly tho requisite work in
time of war, I should not at this time again press
the subject of a navy yard for Imnwork for the
construction of vessels upon tho consideration of
tur authorities, liut, although the Department
has generally been ably and zealously seconded
in its efforts by private contractors, yet tho fact
that there is no customer but the Government
tor in neb of this heavy class of iron work, for
bids u to expect that individual entorpriso will
bo prepared to execute it without full remunera
tion for a 11 iho outlay for shops, tools, and machi
nery which may be required in preparation.
Besides this, unlimited tune is taken by them
for the completion of tho work.
It may be proper to mention, as an instance of
the delay to which tho Government is subjected,
that in October, isiij, contracts were made with
a manufacturer of reputation and ability for
making and setiing up the turrets of the Tana
vanta and Miantnnnmnt, which were to have
been completed in February. ISiiH, but they will
probably not bo finished until February, lHti.i,
two years alter the expiration of the time speci
fied in the contract At tho commencement of
hostilities this Department had equipped, and ut
its immediate disposal, three vessels of war.
T hose whi 'li were laid up, and those which were
recdled from abroad, bud to undergo extensive
repairs, for which no provision had been mile.
The Government has not even at this time aa
establishment where a shaft can be made for our
i-teami rs, or a phitj for our iion ciads. The front
age or w hat tag,- at all our navy yards, s j liupoit

of thoin.

Our next contest may be with a nttvil p iwer
which will attempt to direct upon out shores a
course of operations similar lo lhose which we
have applied to the southern const for suppress
ing the Kchollion. One yard, ut least, where iron
vessels, iron armor, and iron shi'fiing cart be
manufactured, is now imperatively imcss iry.
Among the considerations that should control the
selection of a site for such a yard and establish
inent, w liieh shall bcrouio the depot tor Iho mate
rials infected in years of pea e, w itli which to
build and repair our natal vesscL-, und where will
be aggregated machinery and tools such us at
present uro not to bo found iu this couu'ry, and
which, when ouce procured, could not, if de
stroyed, bo easily or readily replaced, will ba its
absolute safety from attack by Ben or land. So
fur as is po-slhle we should avail ourselves of
natural udvuntues in ob.ainiitg the iadispensahld
secarity for such an establishment, without do.
pendiug entirely on forttlicaiious and artificial
means, which would bo more cosily than the navy
yard itself.

Amoug tho reasons which impel me again to

that the great lVmisylvani I Central Htiilroad has

lit an act of Co' grcsui approve 1 June :,9, ls.il,
the Secretary ot the Navy was nii'li jrii an I
eiipowernl to a point a commission, consisting
of one naval oilier, one otllcer of tho engineer
corps, and one t iviiiuii, lo se:cc; the most approved
site tor a nuvy yard or naval station on tlio Mis
sissippi river, or upon one of its tributaries, and
to report lo fhe next session of Congress." In
.pursuance of Iho authority conferred on mo by
this uct, a commissi in has been constituted, nnd
is now engaged in making the required extunin i
tions. ltear-Auiniral Cliurles II. Davis, who has
hud experience as commanding ollleor of tho Mis
sissippi squadron, was appointed senior member
of the commi-sion. The Secret try of War having
been requested to ntiino a suitable olllccr of the
engineer corps to In- iis-ociutod on this commis
sion, and having named aud detailed LicuUinunt
Colonel A. II. liowmaii lor the purpose, that
otlieer wa appointed, fleorgo W. lllunt, a civi
lian of nautical reputation and ability, of tho city
ot New York, is the third gintlematiof the com
mission. KAVAI. HANK.
There is In the naval branch of the public ser
vice no rank corresponding with that of lieu cn
aiit general. Congress has established the grade
of rear-admiral, which corresponds with that of
major-general, and it would be an act of recog
nition eminently deserved, and w hich would bo
fully appreciated by the gallant men of the naty,
were Congress to uuthorie tee appointment of a
viee-admirul Such honors und preformciiti
stimulate heroes.
Among eminent commanders in our naval ser
vice, of whom the nation may well be proud, wo
have one who, nil will ucknowlcelge, merits by
his achievements as high rank as that of any
naval otlieer In any country.
On tlio occasion of the recent brilliant victory
in tho bay of Mobile, more glorious, perhaps, iu
mme of its incidents, evcnl than the memorable
conflict that gave us the possession and ulti
mately restored the freo navigation of tho Missis
sippi, it was, beyond question, the spontaneous
sentiment of the country, that tho veteran horo
who bad illustrated our naval annals by theiu
grand successes w as wur. hy of the highest honors,
and should bo promoted to tho lii.'hest naval
rank. In recommending, therefore, that the olllce
01 viee-atiiniral should bo created, and the np
pointmeiit conferred on Hear-Admiral O tvid O.
Frrragut, I but respond, as I beiiev.', to tliovoieo
aud wishes of tho u ival service and of tho wholo
cuuiitiy.
'1 he attention of Congress, through the Naval
Committee, lias heretofore been called to the
fact that tbo numlscr of o Mirers on the active list,
in the grades of commodore, captain, comman
der, ami Iteuti nant'comni inder, Is not equal to
the number of vessels ot the dittorent rates re
quired by law to be eouimandeel by olliccrs of
these griiiles. A small increase wasrceonim ndcl
as well us nn alteration in the law relative to
filling vaeuneies In tho grade ol admiral in time
ot peace. My letter on this subject, with the
accompanying draft of a bill, making provision
also for the incorporation into the regulur servio
of a lew volunteer officers w ho, by real, ability,
and service duting llie war, havu merited this
reward, will be found in the appendix to this

Iu this my fourth annual report I have sub

the d.stribution und employment ot maritime
force which, including the additions to il now in

the purposes ot defense, If not of attsck and con

world. In four preceding similar communica

assembling of Congress in the extra session of

and measures of administration, by which, from
a comparatively small begiuning, and under the
pressure of an nnexampletl exigency, this vast

Presidency, been brought Into existence j to state
the contributions which have been made to it
from our commercial marine; to indicate the
application of. all the resources of our public
