2291 - L. Sept. 9; ed:2/1 - The Port of Wilmington, in North Carolina,
is the only port left for blockade runners, and through it the Rebel
credit and cotton loan is maintained in Europe.
"It is therefore the duty of the Government to turn the attention of
the Navy in that direction, and when it is taken, the Rebel credit will
be forever lost in Europe." (3)

2528 - H Dec. 27; ed:2/2 - "It was a glorious morning start of a "merry
Christmas, ' to hear of the capture of Savannah.... We hope Porter and
Butler can lay a New Year gift of Wilmington upon the altar of liber-
ties.... It was hoped that the investment of Savannah meant a com-
plete hemming in of Hardee's army.... It became a question of whether
he should save his men and give us the stores, or run the risk of
losing both. Hardee decided wisely, for his men could not be re-
placed, while supplies might be." (5)
