d be increased. I estimated the force opposed to me at sixty thousand men. The records now show that it was greater. He answered on the 8th that General Grant would turn over two divisions to my command if I absolutely required them, but cautioned me not to ask for them if I could avoid it with safety. By the 12th the accumulating evidence showed that the call could not be dispensed with, and I requested General Grant to forward the divisions without delay. One of them joined on the 1st of September; the other did not arrive until the 12th, after the movement northward to follow Bragg had commenced. The strength of the two divisions was about 5000 men each. Our communications south of the Cumberland had been made secure by the distribution of the troops, but to the north the depredations were prosecuted with increased vigor. Our cavalry was totally insufficient to cope with these incursions, which it must be said, also, were seldom resisted by the infantry guards with vigilanc

. S. V. In some former notes The Administration in the Peninsular campaign, Vol. II. of this work, p. 435; Washington under Banks, Vol. II. of this work, p. 541. I tried to trace with an impartial hand, and without intruding any prejudice or opinion of my own, the course of the unfortunate differences that had arisen between the Government and the commander of the Army of the Potomac. The acute stage was reached on the Peninsula; Pope's campaign marked the first crisis. On the 1st of September McClellan found himself a general without an army. On the 2d the Government gave him what was left of two armies, and only asked him to defend the capital. On the 5th the troops were in motion; on the 7th, without another word, and thus, as appears probable, overstepping the intentions of the Government, See Vol. II., p. 542, and note. This is strongly confirmed by Chase's diary, September 2 (Warden's Life of Chase, p. 549): The President repeated that the whole scope of the orde

At the beginning of the campaign the Union forces aggregated about 12,000 for duty. (See Official Records, Vol. XXII., Pt. I., p. 475.) From Devall's Bluff, Sept. 1, General Steele reported that his force, for duty, was considerably short of 12,000 (ibid, p. 474). According to the return for Sept. 10th (ibid, Part II., p. 523), the present for duty amounted to 10,477. The total loss was 18 killed, 118 wounded, and 1 missing = 137.

leared of their virgin forest of magnificent magnolia-trees and dense undergrowth of cane. At first it seemed impossible to find anything like a general line of commanding ground surrounding the city; but careful study gradually worked out the problem. The most prominent points I purposed to occupy with a system of redoubts, redans, lunettes, and small field-works, connecting them by rifle-pits so as to give a continuous line of defense. The work of construction was begun about the 1st of September with a force of negro laborers hired or impressed from the plantations of the adjacent counties. Haynes's Bluff on the Yazoo River and Warrenton, about six miles below Vicksburg, were fortified as flank protections to the main position. On the 14th of October, 1862, Lieutenant-General John C. Pemberton took command of the Department of Mississippi and East Louisiana, establishing his headquarters at Jackson. About the same time General Grant was placed in supreme command of the Fed
