ake a cut-off, and this effort also proved a failure. On the 15th of July the monotony of the situation was greatly relieved by one of the most stirring episodes of the war. The little Confederate ram, Arkansas, under her gallant commander, I. N. Brown, came out of Yazoo River, where she had been built in imitation of the famous Merrimac, and ran the gauntlet of the whole upper fleet. [See article by Captain I. N. Brown, to follow.] For several days after this the regulation bombardment Captain I. N. Brown, to follow.] For several days after this the regulation bombardment was kept up. Suddenly, however, on the 25th of July, the lower fleet, big ships, gun-boats, and mortar-boats, weighed anchor and dropped down the river to a distance of several miles below their former position. On the 27th both lower and upper fleets took leave of us, and the 28th of July found Vicksburg once more freed from the presence of a hostile force. Working parties were at once put upon the river-batteries to repair damages and increase their strength wherever recent experience had

After the Appomattox capitulation, the observance of which, nobly maintained by General Grant, crowns him as the humane man of the age, I took to the plow, as a better implement of reconstruction than the pen; and if I take up the latter now, it is that justice may be done to the men and the memory of the men of the Arkansas. On the 28th of May, 1862, I received at Vicksburg a telegraphic order fromy, a Missourian of nerve and equal to the duty, took the wheel, and I ordered him to keep the iron-clad ahead. All was going well, with a near prospect of carrying out my first intention of using the ram, this time at a great advantage, Captain I. N. Brown, C. S. N.

Confederate torpedoes in the Yazoo. by Isaac N. Brown, Captain, C. S. N. It was rather by inference than by any direct orders that after the sacrifice of the Arkansas I was left to guard the Yazoo River. At this juncture Messrs. McDonald (or McDonough) and Ewing, acting masters in the Confederate navy, offered to aid me with torpedoes. So poor in resources were we, that in order to make a beginning I borrowed a five-gallon glass demijohn, and procuring from the army the powder to fill it gun-boat off the mouth of the Yazoo, under flag of truce, and met there an old messmate and friend, and said banteringly to him, Tom, why don't you go up and clean out the Yazoo? I would as soon think of going to----at once, was the answer, for Brown has got the river chock-full of torpedoes. I also made a contract with Dr. Fretwell and Mr. Norman, then at Yazoo City, for fifty or more of these destructives on Dr. Fretwell's plan — automatic action on being brought in contact with a vessel
