Quinby was the senior of Ross, and assumed command. He was not satisfied with returning tQuinby was the senior of Ross, and assumed command. He was not satisfied with returning to his former position without seeing for himself whether anything could be accomplished. Accordingly Fort Pemberton was revisited by our troops; but an inspection was sufficient this time without an attack.

In the meantime I was much exercised for the safety of Ross, not knowing that Quinby had been able to join him.

Reinforcements were of no use in a country covered with water, as they would have to remain on board of their transports. Relief had to come from another quarter.

the same minute. The attack was gallant, and portions of each of the three corps succeeded in getting up to the very parapets of the enemy and in planting their battle flags upon them; but at no place were we able to enter. General McClernand reported that he had gained the enemy's intrenchments at several points, and wanted reinforcements. I occupied a position from which I believed I could see as well as he what took place in his front, and I did not see the success he reported. But his request for reinforcements being repeated I could not ignore it, and sent him Quinby's division of the 17th corps. Sherman and McPherson were both ordered to renew their assaults as a diversion in favor of McClernand. This last attack only served to increase our casualties without giving any benefit whatever. As soon as it was dark our troops that had reached the enemy's line and been obliged to remain there for security all day, were withdrawn; and thus ended the last assault upon Vicksburg.

He returned to the front of FSherman and McPherson pushed on toward Jackson. McPherson moved at five o'clock, with General Crocker's division (late Quinby's) in advance.

orts, he said, nor the necessity for re-enforcements, as represented in his dispatches, and expressed to both Sherman and McPherson his doubts of their correctness; yet, unwilling to allow any opportunity to capture the post to escape, he ordered Quinby's division of McPherson's corps to report to McClernand. He also made the diversion in his favor already mentioned, which, Grant said, resulted in the increase of our mortality list full fifty per cent., without advancing our position or giving e rifle-pits in the rear, and that he was hard pressed. He had really gained no substantial advantage. He attributed his failure to do so to a lack of proper support, McArthur being some miles distant when Grant's order came to call him up, and Quinby not arriving until twilight. In a congratulatory address to his troops, General McClernand reflected upon General Grant and the disposition of his troops at the time of the assault.

. The only man that was in a panic concerning Washington was Halleck himself, as will be seen by his letter to McClernand which I quote:-- Corinth, June 30, 1862. Major-General McClernand, Jackson: The defeat of McClellan near Richmond has produced another stampede in Washington. You will collect as rapidly as possible all the infantry regiments of your division, and take advantage of transportation by every train to transport them to Columbus and thence to Washington City. General Quinby will be directed to turn over to you certain troops of his command. The part of General Wallace's division at Memphis will go up the Mississippi, and the portion at Grand Junction will follow as soon as relieved. . . . H. W. Halleck, Major-General. War Records, Vol. XVII., Part II., p. 56. Halleck's letter shows the condition of his mind.
