summit of the next little ridge of ground, when the artillery on the main road opened on Russell's house. From the direction of the sound I became satisfied that I had got too far in advance and halted. In a short time I was informed that the woods were full of the enemy, and that they were getting between my skirmishers and the head of the column.

Smith's men, and it was with some difficulty that they were prevented from firing on each other. In this affair I am happy to inform you that I did not lose a man.

On the 21st the whole division moved forward and fortified at Russell's. On the 28th we moved forward to Camp No. 8, and it was well known that

No effort, however, had yet succeeded in separating those two vessels, although it would only have required a little daring on the part of the Federals to destroy them together. In order to gain sufficient time to extricate them from this perilous situation, Major L. Smith, commanding the Confederate flotilla, tried a flag of truce, and sent an officer, with a prisoner from the Harriet Lane, on board the Clifton, to demand a capitulation. This clumsy stratagem proved a complete success. Lieutenant Law, commanding the Clifton, left his vessel to communicate the demand of the enemy to Renshaw; but instead of waiting for orders, he hoisted a white flag and suspended the battle. During his absence the Confederates succeeded in extricating the Harriet Lane;

The pontoon bridge at Brown's Ferry having been broken up by the drift consequent upon the rise in the river and rafts sent down by the enemy, the other division (Osterhans's) was detained on the south side, and was on the night of the 23d ordered, unless it could get across by eight o'clock the next morning, to report to Hooker, who was instructed in this event to attacmpanying this do the subject justice.
