ghboring house and cared for. He will be interred to-day, and doubtless in the vicinity. His watch was taken charge of by an officer of rank in our service, and I will make it a point to have it forwarded to you. I am not now informed whether there were any other valuables on the person of Colonel Brown. I am, General, very respectfully, your obedient servant, th. J. Wood, Brigadier-General of Volunteers, Commanding. The watch was subsequently sent to Colonel Brown's daughter. On the 22d, with a clear road to Louisville, Buell moved with celerity in that direction. My cavalry contested his advance, but the country was too open to allow of effective opposition with so small a force. On the 25th the leading Federal column reached the city, and the seven divisions were all up on the 27th. Bragg, Polk; and Hardee had been kept thoroughly informed of Buell's march and of the exposure of his flank, which presented an inviting opportunity for attack, but so worn and wearied was t

The revised statements (unpublished Official Records, Vol. XXIV., part I., p. 167) show that the aggregate Union losses, including the above, from May 1st to July 4th, were: killed, 1514; wounded, 7395; captured or missing, 453,--total, 9362.--editors. After the unsuccessful assault on the 22d, the work of the regular siege began. Sherman occupied the right, starting from the river above Vicksburg; McPherson the center (McArthur's division now with him); and McClernand the left, holding the road south to Warrenton. Lauman's division arrived at this time and was placed on the extreme left of the line. In the interval between the assaults of the 19th and 22d, roads had been completed from the Yazoo River and Chickasaw Bayou, around the rear of the army, to enable us to bring up <

nd, Oneida, and Iroquois, four gun-boats, and the ram Sumter, which Davis had lent for the special purpose of attacking the Arkansas. The fleet made a gallant dash past the batteries, meeting with little loss, but the attack on the Arkansas was a failure, for she had shifted her position and could not be readily distinguished by the flashes of the guns. A single 11-inch shot, however, reached tie ram and inflicted very serious injury, especially to the engine. Early on the morning of the 22d, Farragut's reunited squadron being now at anchor below Vicksburg, another attempt was made on the Arkansas. While the upper and the lower fleets were drawing the fire of the batteries in their neighborhood, the Essex, under Commodore William D. Porter, started down the river, followed by the Queen of the West, Lieutenant-Colonel A. W. Ellet. The crew of the Arkansas was small, but they were skillfully handled. The assailants tried to ram her in succession, but as each came on the beak of

I then asked him if they could not be got up to make the assault on the morning of the 22d, and ordered Thomas to move on that date. But the elements were against us. It rained all the 20th and 21st. The river rose so rapidly that it was difficult to keep the pontoons in place. General Orlando B. Willcox, a division commander underome non-combatants in Chattanooga, I deem it proper to notify you that prudence would dictate their early withdrawal. Of course I understood that this was a device intended to deceive; but I did not know what the intended deception was. On the 22d, however, a deserter came in who informed me that Bragg was leaving our front, and on that day Buckner's division was sent to reenforce Longstreet, at Knoxville, and another division started to follow, but was recalled. The object of Bragg's lett
