Sending about 40,000 men, with 100 pieces of artillery, to attack him in front, and others to cut off his retreat, he took the field himself. His plan was magnificent — to capture or disperse Price's army; march to Little Rock and occupy the place; turn the Confederates under Polk, Pillow, Thompson, and Hardee, and compel them to fall back southward; push on to Memphis with his army and Foote's flotilla; capture that city; and then make straight for New Orleans. Price left Lexington on the 29th of September, after advising his unarmed men to return to their homes, and to wait for a more convenient time to rise. Marching as rapidly as his long train would permit, he reached the Osage on the 8th of October with about 7000 men. To cross his troops and trains over that difficult river on a single flat-boat was a tedious operation, but Fremont gave him all the time that he needed

A few days later the Carondelet wasm (General Halleck's chief of staff) and Flag-Officer Foote remonstrated with General Polk for the urmy in crossing. He wrote repeatedly to Flag-Officer Foote, urging him to send down a gun-boat pastwere opposed to the enterprise, believing with Foote that the attempt to pass the batteries would rstern shore of the Mississippi. That Pope and Foote apprehended this, appears from the correspondethe Carondelet, I replied in the affirmative. Foote accepted my advice, and expressed himself as gthe garrison at Island Number10 surrendered to Foote on the 7th of April, the day of the Confederatilla immediately after the retirement of Flag-Officer Foote, under whose supervision and amid the gr[4 more...]

Hato be used as ferry-boats, would be sufficient. The general was so confident that his letter to Foote would bring the boats that he directed me to go back to the fleet at Island Number8 by dug-out aem past the batteries. I reached the flag-ship in the afternoon about dark, and that evening Foote called together all his commanders in council. One or two wanted to run the blockade, but the cthe vessel out of water if the enemy got on board. Another, I think, was quite as emphatic, but Foote was firm. The next day, with two of the tugs of the fleet, I explored the shore carefully ond, and I reached Pope's headquarters about dark.

The first step in ther vessels purchased by the Government, the Benton and the Essex, of one thousand tons each, and somewhat more heavily armored, together with thirty-eight mortar-boats, complete the list of vessels of the Mississippi flotilla during the period of Foote's command, which extended to the summer of 1862. [See pages 358 and 430.] During the following year important additions were made to the flotilla. These were of two classes, light-draft boats and iron-clads. The light-drafts were small stern-w
