rifling, when compared to the weight and length of the enemy's fire. At Donelson, by Commodore Foote's own showing, the gunboats were fairly whipped and withdrawn. Gunboats had nothing to do with the taking of Fort Pulaski. At Island No.10, they failed. Forts Jackson and St. Philips surrendered from treachery and mutiny, and that alone.

In his attack upon Drewry's Pluff we fancy that he found the river defences a good deal above his notice and that his "superb indifference" gave place to sundry very lively emotions. His crack vessel, the Galens, came very near being beneath the notice of everybody but Davy Jones, and unders his sell complacency is more invulnerable than his ship, he must be by this time a gadder and perhaps a wiser man From the profound disappointment evinced by the Northern journals over the result of their experiment Drewry
