de, advanced along the west bank of the river, and Com. Foote, with his gunboats, moved slowly up and attacked the fort from the water. Com. Foote formed his vessels in two lines: the iron-clads Cincinnati (flag-ship), Essex, Carondelet, and St. Louis, in front, while the old wooden Conestoga, Tyler, and Lexington, formed a second line some distance astern, and out of the range of the enemy's fire, throwing shell over the iron-clads into and about the fort. Thus advancing slowly and firing field and the dead; but the losses were fairly equalized, while the Rebels had the spoil of our camps — though they could carry off but little of it — and the prisoners. Maj. Gen. Halleck, commanding the Department of the Mississippi, left St. Louis directly after receiving news of the Shiloh battles, April 19, 1862. and reached Pittsburg Landing by steamboat two or three days thereafter. Meantime, and for weeks following, no attempt was made against the Rebel army at Corinth; and, tho

These effected an exit on the night our forces were surrounding the place, and before it could be fully accomplished. prisoners, 17 guns, 3,000 small arms, beside large quantities of munitions and commissary stores. He makes his losses — killed, 129; wounded, 831; missing, 17: total, 977. Having dismantled the Fort, destroyed whatever was combustible that he could not take away, and forwarded his prisoners to St. Louis, he reembarked, Jan 17. pursuant to orders from General Grant, and returned to Milliken's Bend; having meantime sent an expedition, under Gen. Gorman and Lt.-Com. Walker, up the White river, which captured Des Are and Duval's Bluff, without resistance. Gen. Grant having reorganized and refitted at Memphis his more immediate command, personally dropped down the Mississippi on a swift steamer and met Jan. 18. McClernand, Sherman, and Porter, near the mouth of White river, on their r
the raising of the siege, Dec. 5th. Gen. Halleck had been thoroughly aroused to the peril of Rosecrans at Chattanooga just too late to do any good. On his first advice that Longstreet had been dispatched southward from Virginia — it was said, to Charleston — he had telegraphed Sept. 13. to Burnside at Knoxville, to Hurlbut at Memphis, and to Grant at Vicksburg, to move troops to the support of Rosecrans; and the orders to Burnside and Hurlbut were reiterated next day. Schofield at St. Louis and Pope in the northwest were likewise instructed respectively to forward to Tennessee every man they could spare. And it now occurred to Halleck — or did the day after Chickamauga — that two independent commands on the Tennessee would not be so likely to insure effective cooperation as if one mind directed the movements of both armies; so — Rosecrans being made the necessary scapegoat of others' mistakes as well as his own--Gen. Grant was selected for chief command; Rosecrans being r

Brown, who struck Oct. 12. them near Arrow Rock at nightfall; fighting them till dark; renewing the attack at 8 next morning, and putting them to flight, with a loss of some 300 killed, wounded, and prisoners. St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 14, 1863. Maj.-Gen Halleck, General-in-Chief: Gen. Brown brought the Rebels under Shelby to a decisive engagement yesterday. The fight was obstinate and lasted five hours. The Rebels were finally completely routed and scattered iry and baggage and a large number of small arms and prisoners. The enemy's loss in killed and wounded is very great. Ours is also large. Our troops are still pursuing the flying Rebels. J. M. Schofield, Major-General. Gen. McNeil was at St. Louis when first apprised Oct. 9. of this raid, and at once set out for his post, Lebanon: whence, gathering up what force lie could, he advanced on Bolivar, moving by Humansville and Stockton on Lamar, where he hoped to intercept their flight.
