Grant at once sent out to Sherman all that, remained of that officer's and McPherson's corps, to drive Johnston from Jackson and the railway. In the afternoon of the 4th of July 1863. the re-enforcements were in motion, and when, the next day, they joined Sherman, that leader had about fifty thousand effective men under his cwas moving to Vicksburg, there to embark for Memphis. On the following day Sept. 22, 1863. Sherman was ordered by Grant to the same destination, with the remainder of his corps. Tuttle's division was left behind, with orders to report to General McPherson; and a division of the corps of the latter, under General J. E. Smith, already on the way to Memphis, was placed under Sherman's command. The water was low in the Mississippi, and the vessels bearing the last of Sherman's troops did not

han a week, April 2. about one half of them were forced up, but with the loss of the hospital-vessel, Woodford, of the marine brigade, wrecked in the rapids. Many of that corps were then suffering from the small-pox, and were in a very discontented state. As the transports could not pass the rapids, and as they had no available land or water transportation for advancing farther, they were permitted to return to the Mississippi, in compliance with an earnest call for them to do so by General McPherson, at Vicksburg, who desired them for the special duty of guarding the great river from raids. This reduced the force of the expedition three thousand, and General Banks was compelled to make an equal deduction from his force by an unforeseen necessity. It had been intended to carry supplies the whole distance, in the advance on Shreveport, by water, but the river was now so low that but few transports could pass the rapids, and it was found necessary to establish a depot of supplies a
