mounting 1 32-pounder (in the bow); and two launches, mounting each one howitzer. Two steamers had been converted into Louisiana State gun-boats, with pine and cotton barricades to protect the machinery and boilers: the Governor Moore, Commander Beverley Kennon, and the General Quitman, Captain Grant. All the above steamers, being converted vessels, says Commander Mitchell, were too slightly built for war purposes. The River Defense gun-boats, consisting of six converted tow-boats under thee boiler of a large steamer crowded with troops, and she drifted ashore; three other vessels were driven ashore in flames. At daylight the Varuna was attacked by the Governor Moore, a powerful steamer, fitted as a ram, and commanded by Lieutenant Beverley Kennon, late of the U. S. Navy. This vessel raked the Varuna with her bow-gun along the port gangway, killing 5 or 6 men; and while the Union vessel was gallantly returning this fire, her side was pierced twice by the iron prow of the ram.

Fighting Farragut below New Orleans. Beverley Kennon, Lieutenant, C. S. N., Commander of the Governor Moore. River-side interior of Fort St. Philip. From a photograph. This narrative will be occupied with the operations of the State and River Defense gunboats, and especially with the movements of my vessel, the Governor Moore, and without particular reference to the forts. No men ever endured greater hardships, privations, and sufferings than the garrison of Fort Jackson during thace of the stem, on each side, where they were bolted in place. The other rams had their noses hardened in like manner. All had the usual-shaped stems. Not one had an iron beak or projecting plow under water. All of them had their Lieutenant Beverley Kennon, C. S.

ought bygones had better be bygones and the stirring up of bitter memories was a thing to be avoided; now that so many years have passed, it seems to me almost impossible for one who was observant, and had good opportunities to observe, to tell all he believed he witnessed without in some way reflecting upon one or another of those in position who have gone to their rest and are no longer able to meet criticism. But from the day of the veracious historian Pollard to the present one of Captain Kennon, no mention has been made of the vessel under my command on the night Admiral Farragut passed the Forts, except in slighting, sneering, or untruthful statements. There are only a few of those who were with me left, and I think it due to them and to the memory of those gone that I tell in as few words as I can what the Manassas did on the night in question. The Manassas was made fast to the bank on the Fort St. Philip side above the forts, and had alongside of her a heavy steam-tug

r vessels of war, went out to fight, and did fight, each, as it came up, one of the most powerful naval fleets that this country ever fitted out, with all the improvements and facilities that human ingenuity, money, and fine machine shops and dockyards could supply. And no one, with the heart of a brave man beating in his breast, can truthfully reflect upon their courage. The converted propeller, Governor Moore, which was so efficiently and heroically fought by her brave commander, Beverley Kennon, was not of Commodore Mitchell's command, nor were the river steamers intended for co-operation. When Farragut's fleet passed up it left below Forts Jackson and St. Philip, under General Duncan, and the still helpless Louisiana, under Commodore Mitchell, with a river steamer as a tender, the Landis, alongside, which was entirely unarmed. The Louisiana had used her guns against all of the Federal fleet as they passed, and every man fought bravely and well, and chafed under their powe
