ressed the belief that a boat could pass down at night under cover of the darkness. But the flag-officer invariably declined, saying in one of his letters to General Pope that the attempt would result in the sacrifice of the boat, her officers and men, which sacrifice I would not be justified in making. During this correspondence the bombardment still went on, but was attended with such poor results that it became a subject of ridicule among the officers of Pope's army, one of whom (Colonel Gilmore, of Chillicothe, Ohio) is reported to have said that often when they met, and inquiry was made respecting the operations of the flotilla, the answer would generally be: Oh! it is still bombarding the State of Tennessee at long range. And a Confederate officer said that no casualties resulted and no damage was sustained at Island Number10 from the fire of the gun-boats. On March 20th Flag-Officer Foote consulted his commanding officers, through Commander Stembel, as to the practica

It was a remark made to me, by a former Governor of this State, the late venerable Isaac Hill, in which I fully concur, that a man who will not stand by his Government is a coward and a traitor. Prince Gortchakoff, in a dispatch to Mr. Clay, the American Minister at St. Petersburgh, after expressing the satisfaction of the Emperor at the reply of Secretary Seward to the proposal of France to join the diplomatic intervention in favor of Poland, remarks: Such facts draw closer the

Slemmer was now left to his own resources. His was the strongest fort in the Gulf, but his garrison consisted of only eighty-one officers and men. These labored unceasingly to put everything in working Forts Pickens and McRae. order. Among the workers were the heroic wives of Lieutenants Slemmer and Gilmore, refined and cultivated women, whose labors at this crisis form a part of the history of Fort Pickens. On the 12th Captain Randolph, Major Marks, and Lieutenant Rutledge appeared, and, in the name of the governor of Florida, demanded a peaceable surrender of the fort. It was refused. I recognize no right of any governor to demand the surrender of United States property, said Slemmer. On the 15th Col. William H. Chase, a native of Massachusetts, in command of all the insurgent troops in
