It was inspired by an eager desire to prove its usefulness, and impatiently awaited an opportunity to do so. Sharing in this feeling, I was more than rejoiced in permission to essay an effort to cross the peninsula opposite Vicksburgh, from Milliken's Bend to New-Carthage. Accordingly, on the twenty-ninth of March, I ordered Gen.

Accordingly, the Thirteenth army corps, Major-General J. A.
