It was arranged that I should take two hundred and seventy troops on board this vethere and them: the Columbine to retain thirty of hers on board as a guard. The steamer Houghton accompanied us with General Gordon and about three hundred men. At 4.15 P. M. we arrived at Pilatka, where the troops were disembarked, and the Columbinspirited and manly conduct of the officers and men. On the afternoon of the twenty-fourth a messenger arrived from General Gordon, informing me that all had been accomplished by the expedition that could be, and that he wished this vessel to returto the Columbine to return. I immediately returned to Pilatka, and anchored at 5.20 P. M.

Sir: I have just received, by the courtesy of General Foster, the enclosed despatches to him from General Gordon, now commanding the troops at Jacksonville, from which it will be perceived that the Columbine has been captured. The loss will be much felt, because this is one of the few steamers that I have of such light draught. Captain Balch will, no doubt, report the details when he gets them.

And it was on the same day, though later, in an interview with Dwight, that I informed him of the Governor's acceptance of my prop effort. It was on the same day, too, that Dwight, suggesting the possibility of procuring money by subscription, carried from my office a paper which pledged Major Gordon to the command of a regiment which the contributors were to equip, organize, and support, until this burden should be assumed by the General Government. Such he seventeenth instant, to which no reply had been made. The following letter to me from Major Dwight, dated April 25, is pertinent.

dvance our lines among the islands, and the 55th lost eleven men while the 4th Cavalry lost slightly. To continue the Department of the South as an aggressive one was a folly, nay, almost a crime. (War Diary of General G. H. Gordon, p. 289) General Gordon had little patience with General Gillmore, whose military qualities, apart from engineering, were not highly esteemed by those under him. With admirable scouts at his command he rarely took the pains to ascertain in advance the conditions of e assertion made in the above narrative, namely, that General Butler had himself to blame for this unjust reproach, on account of an unduly boastful and premature letter sent by him to Admiral Porter, which Lamb calls a piece of romance. Compare Gordon's War Diary, pp. 366, 370, which gives a graphic account, but which is undoubtedly unjust to General Butler. For some of the criticisms of naval men, see Ammen's The Old Navy and the New, p. 405 For General Sherman's remark that General Butler c
