and eight months of which was sea-service; this is more than two admirals, commanding squadrons in the present war, have seen. The expedition, organized for the purpose of taking supplies to Major Anderson's starving garrison in Fort Sumter, in 1861, has been referred to, in the hope of throwing ridicule upon it and upon me. It is incomprehensible how the attempt to relieve that heroic band, on any plan, could provoke a sneer, nor does the shaft strike me. It falls upon the President, under w subject is of interest and importance, I subjoin a brief narrative of facts falling within my knowledge, to serve as materials for the vindication of the President. Memorandum of facts concerning the attempt to send supplies to Fort Sumter in 1861. January fifth, 1861, whilst in New-York, I heard that a steamer, belonging to M. O. Roberts was about to leave, to carry supplies to the garrison of Fort Sumter. When an officer in the navy, I had commanded one of the United States mail s

Doc. 20.-General Harney's Report. St. Louis, Mo., May 19, 1864. To the Adjutant-General United States Army, Washington, D. C.: General: I have the honor to forward a statement of my services since 1861, in obedience to the circular addressed to me from your office.

When we reached the first redoubt, which had been thrown up by our forces whilst the place was in our possession last year, 1861-‘62, we were fired upon by musketry and artillery, with canister. The order was immediately given to charge the place, which we did, receiving several volleys of canister before we reached it. The enemy left their guns, which we took, and the reghich took place, I think, on the twenty-sixth of August last. About ten or eleven o'clock P. M., I went, with my regiment, beyond the railroad junction proper, till they reached the first redoubt on the railroad, which our forces had thrown up in 1861, and there remained. The regiments marched on, on either side of the railroad, and had not proceeded more than a few hundred yards, when the enemy opened fire upon the brigade. Shortly after this, I started back to Bristoe Station to bring forwa
