The passage of the Port Hudson batteries. The rebels had blockaded the Mississippi from the beginning of the war with their batteries. In the progress of the war Farragut had captured the batteries below New Orleans, and above as far as Prophet's Island, just below Port Hudson, and Foote, Davis, and Porter had made a conquest of the batteries above Vicksburg, leaving only the Vicksburg, Warrenton, and Port Hudson batteries — a distance of two hundred and thirty-two miles by the river. Of these, the batteries at Port Hudson were, with the exception of those at Vicksburg, the most formidable on the river. The bluff, rising forty feet above the level of the river, was covered with forts for a distance of nearly four miles, constructed upon the most scientific principles of modern military art, and armed with the most approved and heaviest ordnance which England, seeking the ruin of the republic, could furnish the rebels. The river, just at the bend, suddenly narrows, and the c

om the south and east, to have transports and gunboats below the Vicksburg and Warrenton batteries to bring supplies and ferry his troops across the Mississippi, as well as to attack the Warrenton batteries from below. On consultation with Admiral Porter, that brave officer proposed to send down eight gunboats, three transports, and a number of barges and flat boats, laden with commissary supplies, past the batteries to New Carthage. These were all manned by volunteers, who were not deterredat Young's Point. The eight gunboats reached their destination with but slight injuries or loss of life, only one man having been killed and two wounded. The transport Henry Clay was burned; but the other transports, flat boats, etc., made the passage in safety, and the crew of the Henry Clay reached the shore and joined some of the other boats. A few days later, Admiral Porter sent a second squadron of gunboats and transports down, but the transports in this expedition were seriously damaged.

L. P. Brockett, The camp, the battlefield, and the hospital: or, lights and shadows of the great rebellion, The Vicksburg Scow: a ballad. (search)
The Vicksburg Scow: a ballad. Brave Porter deals in hard, dry pokes, He's also good at a clever hoax; Of all his deeds, in fight or fun, That queer old scow is “Number One.” Abandoned by the river's marge, She had served her time as coaling barge; Of refuse planks he shaped her roof Like iron-clads, quite cannon-proof. Pork batful size, Frowned from her ports in grisly guise; To fit this monster of the stream To scare the rebels' guilty dream. The moon was neither bright nor dim, When Porter loosed this flat boat trim, And let her drift, her course to steer, With pilot none, nor engineer. On Mississippi's eastern side, The sentries soon her coming spers laughed until they cried; Some held their ribs, some rolled on grass, To think Secesh was such an ass. Nor was this din of laugh and gun, The choicest part of Porter's fun. The Queen of the West, that captive ram, Escaped by flight a dreaded jam., Away she went, we know not where! But hers was not the biggest scare,-- For down
