This afterward became a subject of controversy between Generals Johnston and Pemberton.--editors. Before he could determine which was the real attack, and which were mere diversions, General Grant had perfected his arrangements, attacked and temporarily silenced the batteries of Grand Gulf, and passed that point with his fleet.

The Yazoo River now became for a short time the central point of Porter's operations. Nothing had been done there since December except a demonstration during the attack of April 29-30 on Grand Gulf, which, though conducted with spirit and gallantry, was really only a feint to prevent the enemy from reenforcing his works below Vicksburg. In the fortnight that had elapsed, however, Grant's environment of the town on the eas
