He pushed his columns forward, and on the following day (Sunday) and the next, June 16 and 17. about nine thousand of his troops crossed the river, by fording, at Williamsport, twenty-six miles above Johnston's late encampment.

Lyon followed them the next day, June 16. leaving Colonel Boernstein, with three companies of his regiment, to hold the capital. Contrary to the expectation of the insurgents, Lyon went by water, in three steamers (A. McDonnell, Iatan, and City of Louisiana), and the destruction of bridges availed the insurgents nothing.

Pressing into his service a ferry-boat there, he pushed forward a short distance, when he di
