ttempt to change the run of the James River as to subjugate the Confederacy. Vale! Vale! Co. K, 40th Ala. II. Why have the rebels not been so completely surrounded that any movement would have been utterly impossible without a battle? Perhaps because Gen. McDowell's command was ordered to Fredericksburgh, and its control taken away from Gen. McClellan, at the moment when the latter had ordered it to proceed to Urbana, on the Rappahannock, and push for the rebel rear. Perhaps because the Merrimac has prevented such boats as Commodore Goldsborough has had from sailing up the rivers. Perhaps because McClellan had landed all his force at Old Point before knowing that he was to be deprived of McDowell's corps d'armee. Perhaps because we are getting thus far bravely on to Richmond and all is as well as it could be. Probably from a combination of all these and other causes. It is not yet time, nor has any one yet the power, to write a fair and faithful history of this campaign.
rrimac should go back to shell them, what will be the course of the Monitor and our fleet? Will they not follow the Merrimac and give her a fire in the rear? Norfolk, Sunday, May 11, 1862. Here I am in the city of Norfolk, over which floats the flag of the Union from the cupola of the Custom-House, which has been repossessed and reoccupied by the Government. From the masts of five noble vessels-of-war, ranged around the harbor, floats the same beautiful banner, whilst the flag of Com. Goldsborough floats from the Susquehanna, which lies directly in the centre of this line of marine architecture. The guns are protruding from the ports of their long line of wooden walls, which are flanked on the right by the Monitor and the Naugatuck, which are moored in front of old Fort Norfolk. But I must proceed to give you a narrative as to how all these events originated. In my last letter I stated that a force had been landed at Point Pleasant, eight miles in the rear of Norfolk, under
Doc. 26.-attack on Sewell's point, Va. Report of Com. Goldsborough. U. S. Flag-ship Minnesota, Hampton roads, Va., May 9. To His Excellency the President of the United States: sir: Agreeably to a communication just received from the Hon. Edwin M. Stanton, I have the honor to report that the instructions I gave yesterday to the officers commanding the several vessels detailed to open fire upon Sewell's Point, were that the object of the move was to ascertain the practicability of leen, and that the number of men now stationed there is comparatively quite limited. The quarters connected with this work were set on fire by our shells, and no doubt seriously injured. I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant, L. M. Goldsborough, Commanding Naval Blockading Squadron. Baltimore American account. Fortress Monroe, May 8, 1862. This has been a most stirring and exciting day at Old Point, and all are anticipating the early fall of Norfolk. The weather has
or the defence of our beloved capital, will meet at the Washington Monument this day, at twelve o'clock M., for the purpose of forming a body of sharp-shooters to operate on James River. Doc. 110.-operations on James River, Va. Flag-officer Goldsborough's report. U. S. Flag-ship Susquehanna, James River, Va., May 18, 1862. sir: In consequence of a report from Commander Rodgers that there were two batteries on the south side of this river--one at Rock Wharf Landing and the otheruth up to Ward's or Drury's Bluff; or, in other words, up to within eight miles of Richmond, where, as you will perceive by Commander Rodgers's report of his fight, it is seriously obstructed. I am, very respectfully, your ob't servant, L. M. Goldsborough, Flag-Officer, etc. Hon. Gideon Welles, Secretary of the Navy. Doc. 111.-the siege of Vicksburgh, Miss. Official correspondence. U. S.

Doc. 110.-operations on James River, Va. Flag-officer Goldsborough's report. U. S. Flag-ship Susquehanna, James River, Va., May 18, 1862. sir: In consequence of a report from Commander Rodgers that there were two batteries on the south side of this river--one at Rock Wharf Landing and the other at Hardin's Bluff or Mother Pine's Landing — which required reducing in order to open the river and get supplies up to him, of which he was about to stand in need, I moved up to them yesterburnt; but neither the magazines nor bomb-proofs had been destroyed. This I ordered to be done, and it was effectually accomplished. The James River is now open from its mouth up to Ward's or Drury's Bluff; or, in other words, up to within eight miles of Richmond, where, as you will perceive by Commander Rodgers's report of his fight, it is seriously obstructed. I am, very respectfully, your ob't servant, L. M. Goldsborough, Flag-Officer, etc. Hon. Gideon Welles, Secretary of the Navy
