A half dozen pages Of the report are occupied with
opinions and details relating to the construction Of naval
vessels We extract the following in reference to the
iron clads:
The pressure for iron csds Of liz Graught which could
ascend the rivers and penetrate the sounds and bays along
our coast felt to be necessity. The operations Of
our armies In the vicinity Of the inland water and
to the rivers required the constant presence Of guDboa
But the thus employed as well as the magazines and
machinery Of the vessels exposed especially in the
streams with high and wooded bshk'. some vessels
and not few valuable lives have been lost By these expo

gallant who encounter these dangers the Department
considered it duty TO provide armored vessels OF light

An official dispatch from Foster to Grant,
Of the 22d. says Sherman occupied Savannah
on the morning Of the 2ls, In the preceding
afternoon and night, Eardee escaped with the
main body Of the infantry and light srtillery,
blowing up the iron-elads and the navy yards.
He euumerates as captnred 500 pristhers. 80
guns, 13 locomotives in good order, 100 cars. a
large amount Of ammunition and material Of
war, 3 steamers. and 5000 bales Of cotton.
Sherlnan's dispatch, dated Savannah. Dec. %,
IS as fellows: To HIS Exeellency, President
Lincoln: l beg to present you With Christ
mas gift-the city of Savannah, $50 guns,
plenty of ammunition, and about SO, ,000 bales
Of cotton" Foster opened communication
with Savannah, on the 22d, with bis steamers,
removing some torpedOes aud passing safely
over others.
On the Goth, Sherman having nearly CON-
pleted the investment of the city, capturing
several minor outworks, and placing his batter
les in such close proximity TO the rebel lines as
to command every position held BY Hardee,
sent summons to him 10 Surrender. The willy
rebel replied that as his communications were
yet open and his men fully supplied with sub
sistence aud stores of every kind, be was deter
mined to hold the city to the last moment
Every preparation was made by Sherman to
assault the rebel position the next day, but
when the morning of the 2lst dawned, it was
found the enemy had evacuated their works.
Several regiments Of intautry Immediately ad-
vanced aud took possession of them. Shortly
af,erward. Sherman entered the city at the
head Of his body guard, and received from the
hands Of deputation Of citizens the surrender
of the place. The latest accounts state that
thirty-six thousand bales of cotton were stored
in the city, which the rebels, in their haste,
neglected to destroy. This immense capture
of cotton will undoubtedly have depressing
effect upon the Confederate loan in England.
