and Woodworth. The mortar schooners George Mangham and Arletta, Acting-Masters John Collins and Thomas E. Smith, and the Horace Beales and Sarah Bruin, Lieutenant-Commander Breese and Acting-Master A. Christian, were also attacked at different times, but they whipped off the rebels, and pursued their voyage in peace. The latter schooner had two men seriously hurt, having each lost an arm by a 12-pound shot. Lieutenant-Commander Breese gives his officers full credit for behaving handsomely under a troublesome fire from field-pieces and concealed riflemen. On the 21st, with a mortar schooner alongside, I proceeded up toward the city of Vicksburg, to obtaon the right-hand side going up, under command of Lieutenant-Com manding Smith, and eight on the left side, under command of Lieutenant-Commander Queen. Lieutenant-Commander Breese was left at New Orleans to bring up the last vessels. He was detained, also, getting the Sea Foam afloat, which vessel had grounded badly on a sand-bar

o latter Colonel Ellet's rams — for transports. Before the Confederates could fire a second round, these vessels opened on them with shrapnel, grape and canister, cutting them up and sending them flying in all directions without the loss of a man on our side. In the meantime the transports steamed down the river in good order leaving nothing behind that could be of any use to the enemy.

had made arrangements for Sherman's division to make a feint up Yazoo River the same day the gun-boats attacked Grand Gulf. Accordingly, on that day Sherman moved up the Yazoo in transports preceeded by the gun-boats, as the military historian puts it. Most of these gun-boats were what were called workshops, i. e., the machine vessel, carpenter shop, store vessel, powder vessel and hospital vessel. These were simply river steamers painted black. The naval forces were led by Lieutenant-Commander K. R. Breese in the Black Hawk and comprised the Baron DeKalb, Lieutenant-Commander John G. Walker, Choctaw, Lieutenant-Commander F. M. Ramsay, Taylor. Lieutenant-Commander Prichett, Signal, Romeo, Linden and Petrel with three 13-inch mortars. The naval demonstration was really a fine one, calculated to impress the Confederates, who had seen so many nondescripts pass Vicksburg that they hardly knew a gun-boat from a transport.
