Mark 16:3-4 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulcher?… When the first ironclad vessel was used in naval warfare, the news of its victory sent a panic through the Federal rulers. At a cabinet meeting called on receipt of the news, Mr. Stanton, the Secretary of State, said: "This will change the whole character of the war; she will destroy seriatim every naval vessel; she will lay all the cities on the seaboard under contribution. Port Royal must be abandoned; the governors and authorities must take instant measures to protect their harbours." Looking out of the window, which commanded a view of the Potomac for many miles, he said, "Not unlikely, we shall have a shell or cannonball from one of her guns in the White House before we leave this room." Mr. Seward, usually buoyant and self-reliant, was overwhelmed with the intelligence, and listened in responsive sympathy to Stanton; he was greatly depressed, as, indeed, were all the members.
