Lee, Ferguson and Wirt Adams, has been recited in these pages. The attempt by General Sherman in his bold attack at Chickasaw Bayou, his fearful repulse and heavy loss—all demonstrated how hard it was, indeed, almost impossible, successfully to attack the city, even with superior numbers, from the river front. When General Grant commenced the la
