ttered smokestack of the Virginia shows how bravely she stood up to the fire of the Federal monitors and the Howlett's house batteries. The Virginia and her consorts were active in shelling General Butler's Dutch Gap canal. On October 22, 1864, the Virginia discovered a new Federal masked battery nearly two miles below Chaffin's Bluff. With her consorts she stood up for two hours against the fire of the 100-pounder Parrott rifles on the shore, at a range of 500 yards. On the night of January 23, 1865, Commodore Mitchell of the Virginia and his fleet attempted to pass below the Federal obstructions in the river, but both the Virginia and the Richmond grounded and were exposed all the next day to a ruinous fire from the Federal batteries and gunboats. One 15-inch solid shot tore a terrific hole in the Virginia, killing six and wounding fourteen of her crew. The tide at last floated her and the Richmond. Nothing daunted, she again led the fleet down the river in a night expedition.

ce that an adequate flotilla should be left in the James to preclude the possibility of the Confederate gunboats getting down past the obstructions and making a bold and disastrous attack on City Point, the army base. Having left this huge ironclad fighting-vessel behind, Admiral Porter felt at ease. But the undaunted Confederate Flag-Officer J. K. Mitchell was not to be deterred from making one last attempt to strike a telling blow with the Virginia and her consorts. On the night of January 23, 1865, he came down to the Federal obstructions and attempted to get by. When the movement was discovered, contrary to all expectations the great Onondaga retreated down the river. The moment might well have been one of the greatest anxiety for the Federals, but in maneuvering, the Virginia and the Richmond both got aground and the Onondaga, returning with the Hunchback and the Massasoit, inflicted some telling shots upon them. It was found later by a court-martial that Commander William A.
