the failure of the attack with monitors and iron-clads upon the Charleston defenses, Admiral Foote was appointed, June 4th, 1863, to the command of the South Atlantic Squadron; but he was stricken down on his way to his command. I was told that Professor Bache--of the Medical Staff at the New York Navy Yard, where Foote had been stationed at the commencement of the war-said that he dreaded to tell the Admiral that his attack was a fatal one, as he thought his heart was set upon attempting to take Charleston. But, instead of his being affected by the solemn intelligence, Foote replied that he felt he was prepared and that he was glad to be through with guns and war. He died at the Astor House, in the city of New York, on the 26th of the same month. The mother of General Tilghman, who surrendered Fort Henry, was at the hotel, and, learning of his illness, tendered her sympathies. His native city of New Haven gave a public funeral, which was attended by the governor and legislature.

nly after a most determined resistance, and after all his heavy guns had been silenced, did General Tilghman lower his flag. The Confederate loss, as reported, was 5 killed, 11 wounded, and 5 missing00, having escaped to Fort Donelson. our gun-boats continued to approach the Fort until General Tilghman, with two or three of his staff, came off in a small boat to the Cincinnati and surrendered the Fort to flag-officer Foote, who sent for me, introduced me to General Tilghman, and gave me orders to take command of the Fort and hold it until the arrival of General Grant.

ary 1st,:1862, by the persistent efforts of General Lloyd Tilghman and Colonel A. Heiman, this had been, incred out of range and ceased firing. At night General Tilghman called his leading officers in consultation--Cng, I think, the lowest. To oppose this force General Tilghman had less than four thousand men,--mostly raw rnite with Pillow and Buckner at Fort Donelson. General Tilghman, recognizing the difficulty of withdrawing und as the only really effective gun left, I met General Tilghman and for the first time knew that he had returnleave us but four capable of being served. General Tilghman now consulted with Major Gilmer and myself as Of the 54 men who went into action [see General Tilghman's report], 5 were killed, 11 wounded or disabled, ing for Flag-Officer Foote, and I representing General Tilghman.

es that at that date a second battery on the Cumberland at Dover had been completed; that a work on the ridge had been laid out, and two guns mounted; and that the encampment was then surrounded by an abatis of felled timber.

The occurrence was in fact expected, for two days before a horseman had ridden to General Tilghman with word that at 4:30 o'clock in the morning rocket signals had been exchanged with the picket at Bailey's Landing, announcing the approach of gun-boats. A second courier came, and then a third; the latter, in great haste, requesting the G
