I was further convinced that my information about the French fleet was true, because on the 16th of June the city government of New Orleans, which had not then been disbanded, but was soon after, passed the following resolution unanimously, under a suspension of the rules:-- Whereas, It has come to the knowledge of this council that, for the farge of their defence, of which 1 have given you some details in a previous letter. Lovell, who was in command of that department, suggested, on the 7th of June, that Department No. 1 of Louisiana should be abandoned. Lee responded on the 16th of June that he deemed the department of too much importance to be abandoned. He regrets his inability to send you reinforcements. He knows of no troops that can be spared at any point, unless General Beauregard can send you some from his command.

the van of the Army of the Potomac, came up just after nightfall, and, waiving his seniority, tendered his force to Smith to put part of it into the captured works relieving his own troops, but made no further use of it. Smith in his official report, Dated August 9, 1864. says :-- . . . We had thus broken through the strong line of rebel works, but heavy darkness was upon us, This must have been at about quarter of eight o'clock, for the reason that Smith in his report of the 16th of June, states that he made his attack at seven, and that in about twenty minutes the works at Jordan's House and on its left were carried by the divisions of Generals Brooks and Hinks; that he then ordered the colored troops to carry some heavy profile works in the rear of the line captured, which was gallantly done, and at the same time General Martindale had advanced and carried the enemy's works toward Jordan's House and the Appomattox,--where as a matter of fact, as General Beauregard says,

d him, upon the receipt of your command sent by me, to cause an immediate attack to be made upon the defences of Petersburg by all the forces then present. I arrived at the front upon this mission between one and two o'clock on the morning of June 16. I found General Smith's headquarters camp and rode directly to the tents thereof. Inquiring of the sentries as to which was General Smith's tent, no one seemed to know and they stated that they had not seen him. I then made inquiry of some ofthat hour as it would have been had it been delivered at an earlier one. He responded that he would look his position over and prepare to attack the enemy. These facts I reported to you upon my return to headquarters between 6 and 7 A. M. on June 16. I desire to call your attention to the fact that the night of the 15th of June was one of the most favorable nights which an army had ever presented for a night assault. The moon was substantially full, and the night as clear and bright as
