ll force the wheel–house of the Price, which, to avoid being sunk, was obliged to head for the shore. This first encounter decided the issue of the battle, but Montgomery's flotilla fell back in vain; it could not escape from its adversaries. Carried along by the current, the combatants passed pell mell under the eyes of the inh, and Ellet's rams arrived in time to complete the work of destruction. The Beauregard, entirely disabled, soon sunk near the shore; the Little Rebel, carrying Montgomery's flag, and the Sumter reached the bank of the Arkansas, where their crews landed in great haste. The Jeff Thompson, likewise abandoned, caught fire and blew uderals in possession of Corinth and Memphis, the army of Beauregard disappearing in the depths of semitropical forests where the Tombigbee takes its source, and Montgomery's ships lying at the bottom of the Mississippi.

As we have said in the first volume, the representatives of the six States which had given the signal of separation had met at Montgomery in the early part of February, and had established a provisional government, the duration of which was limited to one year. Messrs. Davis and Stephens were elected on the 9th of February as President and Vice President of this government, and the assembly of delegates arrogated to itself full legislative powers, with the title of Provisional Congress. It held four sessions-two at Montgomery, from the 4th of February to the 4th of March, 1861, and from the 6th to the 11th of May; two at Richmond, from the 20th of July to the 2d of September, and from the 18th of November, 1861, to the 18th of February, 1862. During these sessions the number of States represented in this Congress increased from six to thirteen. The first six were Al
