Lake Providence, La. (Louisiana, United States) (search for this): chapter 137
pi went dry at this season — a thing that never happened yet. I came up here with the river on the rise, and water enough for our largest vessels; and even on my way up to Shreveport from Grand Ecore the water rose, while it commenced falling where I left the largest gunboats. Falling or not, I could not go back while in charge of the transports and the material on which an army of thirty thousand men depended. Nothing would justify me in doing so. I have still confidence in a good Providence, which I am sure will not desert us, and confidence that the nation will not permit this fleet to be sacrificed, when it has so well performed its part in what should have been a complete success. In conclusion, I beg leave to mention the brave, cool, and zealous manner in which Lieutenant Commander Phelps worked to get his vessel out of her difficulties, never losing his faith for a single moment; also the handsome manner in which he brought the two fragile gunboats past those heavy ba

I had two boats up there, but the negro and invalid garrison were not strong enough to do their part. I have sent the Essex, Benton, Choctaw, La Fayette, Ouachita, and Avenger up to Fort Pillow to prevent any permanent landing there. I sent an expedition up the Washita as far as Munroe, which captured three thoelps, Eastport; Lieutenant Commander Watson Smith, Chillicothe, (temporarily;) Lieutenant Commander K. R.

Grand Ecore was occupied by our forces without oppositi one thirty-two pounder on the river, below Grand Ecore, which he destroyed, making twenty-two guns The army had arrived at Natchitoches, near Grand Ecore, when I got up here, and was preparing for wishes and orders. I found the fleet at Grand Ecore somewhat in an unpleasant situation--two ofs point for a few hours. I shall return to Grand Ecore in two hours. I had succeeded in getting all the large vessels over the bar at Grand Ecore, and in a fair way of getting down as far as Alexane transports. The day after my return to Grand Ecore, orders were issued for the army to move tos; and even on my way up to Shreveport from Grand Ecore the water rose, while it commenced falling do not know the result. Had the army held Grand Ecore a fortnight, we would with certainty have she army to proceed, and the retreat back to Grand Ecore, left me almost at the mercy of the enemy. [13 more...]

enemies, to frighten them, and then run away at the first sign of an engagement. It puts the sailors and soldiers out of all patience with them, after the trouble they have had in getting here. Now and then the army have a little brush with their pickets; but that don't often happen. It is not the intention of these rebels to fight. The men are tired of the war, and many of their officers are anxious to go into cotton speculation. A large trade has been carried on between this and New-Orleans, the rebels receiving supplies for their cotton. There is a surprising abundance of every kind of food in this country, and no suffering among the people, except for luxuries. It would be folly to suppose they could all be starved out. The only way is to take possession of this rich region, hold it with a strong military and naval force, and enforce the laws. There are some good Union men here, who have suffered much. I hope the day of their delivery has come. General Smith has l
