This officer brought a detachment of his troops over in a transport without dhe city of Memphis was surrendered that day to the Army and Navy, and garrisoned at once by the Indiana Brigade under Colonel Fitch. A great deal of property fell into the hands of the Federal troops, who kept possession of the place until the enphis, where, as stated above, boats were lowered in the heat of battle to pick up the drowning enemy.

So constant are these attacks that we cease to think of them as of any importance, though there has been much gallantry displayed on many occasions. Lieutenant-Commanders Phelps and Fitch have each had command of the Cumberland and Tennessee Rivers, and have shown themselves to be most able officers.
