c importance — was early a point of Federal desire; but the fleet had been compelled to stand idly by and witness the bloodless reduction of Sumter. Later-when strengthened armaments threatened constant attack-Lee and Beauregard had used every resource to strengthen defenses of the still open port. What success they had, is told by the tedious and persistent bombardment-perhaps unexampled in the history of gunnery; surely so in devices to injure non-combatant inhabitants. On the 30th January, 1863, the two slow, clumsy and badly-built rams, under Captain Ingraham--of Martin Koszta fame-attacked the blockading squadron and drove the Union flag completely from the harbor; but re-enforced by iron-clads, it returned on the 7th of April. Again, after a fierce battle with the fort, the Federal fleet drew off, leaving the Keokuk monitor sunk; only to concentrate troops and build heavy batteries, for persistent attempt to reduce the devoted city. The history of that stubborn siege and

the country is intersected by bayous or water-courses filled from the river, with overhanging trees and with narrow and tortuous channels, where the bends could not be turned by a vessel of any length. To cross this country in the face of an enemy was impossible. The problem was to get in rear of the object of attack, and to secure a footing upon dry ground on the high or eastern side of the Mississippi — the side on which Vicksburg stands — for operating against the place. On the 30th of January, 1863, Grant having left Memphis, took the command at Young's Point in Louisiana, on the western bank of Mississippi, not far above Vicksburg, bent on solving the problem. It was a wet country and a wet winter, with high water in the Mississippi and its tributaries. The troops encamped on the river bank had, in order to be out of the water, to occupy the levees, or dykes, along the river edge, and the ground immediately behind. This gave so limited a space, that one corps of Grant's ar

anks in the fort; and the quarters of the men were almost entirely demolished. * * * Inside the fort, and to the rear of it for half a mile, the earth was dug up into immense pits and gullies by the enemy's shell and shot. [It sees a Providence in the saving of Confederate life.] even tile embrasures of the Rebel battery were but moderately damaged. Our vessels saved their ammunition by letting Fort McAllister alone thereafter. The National steamboat Isaac Smith, having been sent Jan. 30, 1863. up Stono river on a reconnoissance, went seven miles above Legareville without getting sight or sound of an enemy; but, when 6 miles on her way back, was opened upon in a bend by three masked batteries, which had not been observed before, and thereby speedily crippled and captured. The Com. McDonough went to her assistance; but arrived too late, and could do nothing. Several months thereafter, the Rebels attempted to run the Isaac Smith out of Charleston harbor; when she was sunk J

rces, Suffolk, Va., February 1, 1863. The Commanding General desires to express his warmest thanks to Brigadier-Gen. Corcoran and the troops assigned to his command for their good conduct and gallant bravery in the engagement of the thirtieth of January, 1863, at the Deserted House, and which resulted in driving the confederate forces to the Blackwater. Most of the regiments were under fire for the first time, and furnished those others so unfortunate as not to have part in the expedition wt will be seen that so far from General Pryor's command meeting with any thing like a reverse, the advantages of the fight were all in our favor. The following is a copy of General Pryor's official despatch: Carrsville, Isle of Wight, January 30, 1863. Brigadier-General Colson, Petersburgh, Va.: General: This morning, at four o'clock, the enemy, under Major-General Peck, attacked me at Kelly's Store, eight miles from Suffolk.

to a most withering fire on Friday, though then in command of the division, the force he showed in the handling of this command, the coolness and judgment which distinguished him in action, made him, to me, a marked man, and I regretted his early death as a great loss to the army and the cause.
