had but one general officer in his command, McClernand, who at that time had never heard a hostile shot; Logan, who afterwards became so distinguished, also accompanied him, but as a colonel. Grant proceeded nine miles, and made a feint of landing at a point on the Kentucky shore, where he lay till daybreak, with a view to distract the enemy, and, in conjunction with Smith's demonstrations, to give the idea that an attack on Columbus was contemplated. At two o'clock on the morning of the 7th, he received intelligence that the rebels had been crossing troops from Columbus to Belmont, the day before, with the purpose of cutting off Oglesby. He at once determined to convert the demonstration against Belmont into an attack, as it was now necessary to be prompt in preventing any further effort of the rebels either to reinforce Price or to interrupt Oglesby. He still, however, had no intention of remaining at Belmont, which is on low ground, and could not have been held an hour under

* * * I shall take and destroy Fort Donelson on the 8th, and return to Fort Henry. This was the first mention of Fort Donelson, whether in conversation or dispatches, between the two commanders. Halleck made no reply, but notified Buell on the 7th, General Grant expects to take Fort Donelson, at Dover, to-morrow. Halleck congratulated Foote in these words: I have this moment received the official report of your capture of Fort Henry, and hasten to congratulate you and your command for your brilliant success On the 7th, Grant's cavalry penetrated to within a mile of Fort Donelson, and all the rebel pickets were driven in, but no definite information was obtained of the numbers of the enemy. It was ascertained, however, that the force from Fort Henry had joined the garrison on the Cumberland, and Grant informed Halleck: If any reenforcements were on the way for this place, no doubt they have gone or will go there also. On the same day, in pursuance of his intention to take

. He told each to attack with a heavy skirmish line, as soon as it was light enough to see, and then to follow up with his entire command, leaving no reserves. Before midnight, he returned to the Landing, and lay on the ground, with his head against the stump of a tree, where he got thoroughly drenched by the storm, but slept soundly, confident of victory on the morrow. The violent rain rendered the ground extremely unfavorable for the movements of Monday, but early on the morning of the 7th, the attack was made by Grant, along his entire front, now newly composed. W. H. L. Wallace and Prentiss's divisions, having been so much broken up by the events of Sunday, what was left of them was divided among the other commanders of the Army of the Tennessee. Lewis Wallace, too, was put in line on the second day, on the extreme right, where he should have been, eighteen hours before. Sherman, McClernand, and Hurl but were posted next, from right to left; and McCook, Crittenden, and Ne

cured by his subordinate. The same peculiarity was also conspicuous in some of his later programmes, but in each instance, Fortune overruled his arrangements and brought about her own conclusions, apparently resolved to dispose of her own favors. On the 5th of the month, in reply to Grant's suggestions, Halleck directed him not to attempt to hold the country south of the Tallahatchie, but to collect twenty-five thousand troops at Memphis, by the 20th, for the Vicksburg expedition. On the 7th, Grant answered that he would send two divisions to Memphis in a few days, and asked: Do you want me to command the expedition to Vicksburg, or shall I send Sherman? To which Halleck replied: You may move your troops as you may deem best to accomplish the great object in view. . . Ask Porter to cooperate. Telegraph what are your present plans. Grant answered at once, on the 8th: General Sherman will command the expedition down the Mississippi. He will have a force of about forty th

formation from the other side leads me to believe the enemy are bringing forces from Tullahoma (in Tennessee). Should not Rosecrans at least make a demonstration of advancing? The only answer to this was the dispatch recalling Grant. On the 6th, Grant ordered McPherson: Move one of your divisions to Rocky Springs to-morrow, leaving the other to occupy from your present headquarters to the ferry. On the approach of Sherman's advance, order up the second. Accordingly, at ten A. M. on the 7th, McPherson's troops were again in motion, Logan's division in the advance, followed closely by Crocker. They marched to Rocky Springs, about ten miles distant, where they remained in camp till the 9th. On the 8th, Grant's headquarters were removed to Rocky Springs. After making his demonstration against Haine's bluff, Sherman had left Blair's command at Milliken's bend, and, on the morning of the 2d of May, started with Steele and Tuttle's divisions for Hard Times. He reached there by n

cannot subsist an army passing over it. Wagons, horses, and mules should be taken from the citizens, to keep them from being used with the Southern army. On the 7th, the enemy, nearly three thousand strong, attacked Milliken's bend, which, however, was successfully defended by black and white troops under Brigadier-General Denn night of the 5th, before all of Sherman's force reached the Big Black river. Bridges were constructed at once, and on the 6th, the troops were all across. On the 7th and 8th, they marched by separate roads to Clinton. The weather was intensely hot, the dust stifling, but the enemy made no serious opposition to their progress. t every step that Johnston, with four divisions of infantry, and a large cavalry and artillery force, was now falling back on Jackson. He reached that place on the 7th, and on the 9th, Sherman came up to the familiar ground. The works had been strengthened since May, and the lines extended so as to reach the Pearl river, both a

orders, and come with the remainder of your command to Stevenson, or until you receive other instructions. Again, on the 7th: The enemy have moved a great part of their force from this front towards Burnside. I have to make an immediate move fromble to leave Sweetwater, until the 13th of the month. Grant, however, was instantly informed of the movement, and, on the 7th, he telegraphed to Halleck: In addition to the forces threatening Burnside from the east, there is but little doubt that L Whether Thomas makes any demonstration before his arrival, will depend upon advices of the enemy's movements. On the 7th, the orders were issued to Thomas to attack Bragg's army. The news, said Grant, is of such a nature, that it becomes an iin readiness at all times, to replace any that may be destroyed. Keep me advised of what you do in this matter. On the 7th, he got word from Sherman, and telegraphed at once, to send a train loaded with provisions for him, to Fayetteville: Gener

jor-General commanding. Accordingly, having seen Burnside move out of Knoxville, in pursuit of Longstreet, and Granger move in, Sherman put his own command in motion to return. His approach had served to raise the siege. On the morning of the 7th, the commands of Potter and Manson started out in pursuit of Longstreet, under Major-General Parke, Burnside's chief of staff; and, on the 10th, Foster arrived at Knoxville, from Cumberland gap. On the 11th, he assumed command of the Department o was lost. Longstreet was too able, not to perceive the mistake of his antagonist; and, before the mistake could be rectified, the mischief was irremediable. Sherman moved back towards Chattanooga, under the instructions of Burnside; and, on the 7th, after three days delay, Parke was sent out after the fleeing enemy. Longstreet had been ordered, some days before, to send back Wheeler's cavalry to Bragg's army; but, at the moment of raising the siege, he judged it unsafe to obey; finding,
