No effort has been spared to effect both then* eu.ls ; and, though the results have notqtialGd out hopes, it is believed that un impartial judgment will, upon full investiga tion, award to the various departments of the Government credit fur havirg done all which buuiau power and foresight enabled them tear com pi is b. ‘1 he valor and devoliou of the people have not only sustained the efforts of the Gi.verumeet, but have goue far to supply ita deficiencies. The active state of military preparation uuiong the nations of Europe in April last, the date when our agents first vent abroad, interposed unavoidable delays in the procurement of arms, slid the want of a navy bus greatly impeded ur eflorts to import military supplies of all sorts. i have hoped for several days to receive < fl) dial reports iu relation to our disooiofiture at Roanoke Ul-ind, and the full of Fort Donelsou. I hoy have not yet reached me, and I am, there f re, unable to communicate to you such infor mation of those cvcuts and the consequences re sulting from them, as would enable me to make recommendation* founded upon the changed condition which they have produced. Enough is kuowu of the surrender at Roanoke Island lo make us fuel that it was deeply humiliating, however imperfect in iy have been the prepara tions for defence. The hope is still entertained that our r*ported losses at Fort Donelsou have been greatly exaggerated, inasmuch aa I am not ouly unwilling, but unable to behave that a Large army of uar people have surrendered with out a desperate effort to cut their way through investing forces, whatever may have been their numbers, and to mnke a junction with other divisions of the army. Rut in the absence of that exact information which can only be afforded by official reports, It would be premature to pass judgment, aud my <wu is reserved, as I trust yours will be, until that information is reoeived. In the meantime, strenuous efforts have been made to throw for ward reiuforcementa to the armies at the posi tions threatened, aud I cannot doubt that the bitter disappointroents we have borne, by nerv mg the people to still greater eterUens, will speedily secuie results mere accordant with our just expectation, aud aa favorable to oar r euse as those which marked the earlier periods of the war. The reporls of the of War and the Navy will exhibit the mass of resources for the conduct of the war which we have l*een enabled lo accumulate, notwithstanding the very serious difficulties against which we have contended. They afford the eheeriag hope that our re sources, limited as they were at ihe boginuing of the contest, will, during its progress become de veloped to such an client as fully to meet our future wants. The policy of enlistment for short terms, •gaiust which I b twdi)y cunl.nih'i from the ci.uuucnrcmetit of tho war, he., in utj judgment, contributed in no itumeleriel degree to the recent reverse* which we here .uttered, end even now tender it difficult to fur-iich jou en ercurete .(clement of the arm,.
