It is just possible that Sherman's coming to grief might not be disagreeable to him. That General has already acquiredSherman's coming to grief might not be disagreeable to him. That General has already acquired so much of glory as to become a dangerous rival as a candidate for the next Presidency — a reason sufficient to prevent Grant's regretting any ill luck that may now befall him. But, as Sherman has gained much reputation and glory by his campaign, sSherman has gained much reputation and glory by his campaign, so has General Grant gained little of either; and it is highly important to him to do something before the close of the year.

The gunboats quietly succumbed to their inevitable fate. Thus, within the short space of forty minutes, four gunboats, carrying eight fine guns each; fourteen splendid steamboats and seventeen large barges — boats and barges heavily ladened with subsistence and clothing for Sherman's army — fell into our hands almost without the loss of a life to the gallant command that made the capture.
