Undaunted by this calamity, Admiral Buchanan, with his usual energy and pluck, soon had thed wounded a large number of men. As soon as Admiral Buchanan realized that his enemy had escaped for the mo impossible to run the gun out for firing, and Admiral Buchanan, who superintended the battery during the enti, but gave all the honor due to its defense to Admiral Buchanan, who was the true hero of the battle; and when expected of it. After I left the Tennessee Admiral Buchanan was transferred to a small transport steamer aself placed in a room near to that occupied by Admiral Buchanan, and immediately adjoining that of Captain J. port for duty under Commodore Ebenezer Farrand, who had succeeded Admiral Buchanan in command of that station.

accomplished, and the vessels were anchored and anchoring, the Confederate ram Tennessee was observed to be moving out from under the guns of Fort Morgan. Captain Drayton reported this fact to the admiral, who was then on the poop, stating that Buchanan, the Confederate admiral, was going outside to destroy the outer fleet. The admiral immediately said, Then we must follow him out! though he suspected that Buchanan, becoming desperate, had resolved to sink or destroy the flag-ship Hartford, aBuchanan, becoming desperate, had resolved to sink or destroy the flag-ship Hartford, and do us as much injury as possible before losing his own vessel. Immediately after the above remark, Farragut said, No! Buck's coming here. Get under way at once; we must be ready for him! Captain Drayton could not believe this, and we were a little slow about getting up our anchor, in spite of the admiral's impatience. In Lieutenant Kinney's interesting account of the battle, the subsequent events are described. [See p. 379.] I have only to add that when the Hartford rammed the Tenness

ed from the fort, without derangement of any kind to guns or gun-carriages. But little damage was done to the fort, and but small loss of life, owing to the fact that the guns of the fleet were too much elevated; most of the projectiles passing over our heads. The spirit displayed by the garrison was fine; the guns were well served, and all did their duty nobly. As the fleet passed the fort and out of range of my guns, they were immediately attacked by the Confederate vessels under Admiral Buchanan, who fought most gallantly until he was disabled and overpowered by the Federal fleet. After the entrance of the Federal fleet into the bay and the evacuation of Fort Powell (a small battery which was untenable), and after the surrender of Fort Gaines, six miles distant on the opposite side of the bay, I felt confident that the whole naval and land forces of the enemy would be brought against Fort Morgan. I began at once to prepare the fort for as determined a defense as possible.

unter halted a day at Lexington to burn the Virginia Military Institute, Governor Letcher's residence, and other private property, and ordered the torch to be applied to Old Washington College, that had been endowed by the Father of his country. This was too much for many of his officers, and they protested, and thus the old college was saved, and is now The Washington and Lee University, where General R. E. Lee quietly ended his days as its President. From Lexington Hunter proceeded to Buchanan in Botetourt County, only slightly impeded by McCausland, who gallantly fought his advance at almost every mile as best he could. At Buchanan the torch again did its work. Colonel John T. Anderson, an old gray-haired man, with his aged wife, occupied a palatial brick mansion a mile above the town. The grand old house, its splendid library and collection of pictures, the furniture and all the family wearing-apparel, made a bonfire that was seen for many a mile around. From Buchanan Hunte

hburg I had received a telegram from General Lee, directing me, after disposing of Hunter, either to return to his army or to carry out the original plan, as I might deem most expedient. After the pursuit had ceased I received another dispatch from him, submitting it to my judgment whether the condition of my troops would permit the expedition across the Potomac to be carried out, and I determined to take the responsibility of continuing it. On the 23d the march was resumed, and we reached Buchanan that night. On the 26th I reached Staunton in advance of the troops, and the latter came up next day, which was spent in reducing transportation and getting provisions from Waynesboro‘. The official reports at this place showed about two thousand mounted men for duty in the cavalry, which was composed of four small brigades, to wit: Imboden's, McCausland's, Jackson's, and Jones's (now Johnson's). The official reports of the infantry showed ten thousand muskets for duty, including Vaughn's
