One of these attempts was made at the village of Washington, on the Little Pamlico River, then held by a small land force under Colonel Potter, These were composed of a company of the Third New York Artillery, with 6 guns; six companies of cavalry, two companies of the First North Carolina, and two of the Massachusetts Twenty-fourth. and two gunboats (Pickett and Louisiana ) lying in the stream near. The post was surprised by Confederate cavalry at early dawn on a foggy September morning. Sept. 6 These swept through the village almost unopposed at first. But the garrison was soon under arms, and, with some troops which had marched out to go to another point, and now returned, sustained a vigorous street-fight with the assailants for nearly three hours, the gun-boats at the same time giving assistance, until the Pickett exploded.

the admission of representatives of those States to seats in Congress, rested exclusively with the respective Houses, and not to any extent with the Executive. The President proclaimed that whenever, in any of the States of Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, and North Carolina, a number of persons, not less than one-tenth in number of the votes cast in such States at the Presidential election of the year of our Lord 1860 each havint exceeding five thousand, as he might deem expedient to guard that region and the inhabitants from injury by the public enemy Then followed a proposition from General G. W. Phelps to General Butler, his chief, to organize negro regiments in Louisiana, to be composed of the fugitive slaves who were flocking to his camp at Carrollton, near New Orleans. Receiving no reply, he made a requisition July 30. for arms and clothing for three regiments of Africans, to be employed in defending his po

The grand object was the capture of Shreveport, on the Red River, near the boundary between Louisiana and Texas; the capture or dispersion of the Confederates in that region, then under General E.

found that the Confederates had abandoned Pine Mountain, and taken position on their line of intrenchments between Kenesaw and Lost mountains. At the time of this advance, General Polk, formerly Protestant Episcopal Bishop of the diocese of Louisiana, was killed instantly, by a piece of shell which passed through his body. Polk, Johnston, and Hardee, were upon the summit of Pine Mountain when the cannonade commenced, reconnoitering. Seeing the group, General Thomas, it is said, ordered a the very garrisons sent to protect your people against negroes and Indians, long before any overt act by the (to you) hateful Lincoln Government; tried to force Kentucky and Missouri into rebellion in spite of themselves; falsified the vote of Louisiana; turned loose your privateers to plunder unarmed ships; expelled Union families by the thousand; burned their houses, and declared by act of Congress the confiscation of all debts due Northern men for goods had and received.

ing for the troops. Butler could not credit the report, because the presence of the troops would be essential to the success of the experiment with the powder-ship. But it was true. Soon after Captain Clark left, on the night of the 23d, the Louisiana (the name of the powder-vessel) was run in, under the direction of Commander A. C. Rhind, of the navy, in the wake of a blockade-runner, and anchored within three hundred yards of the northeastern salient of Fort Fisher. See sketch in note 1, page 475. There, at two o'clock in the morning, Dec. 24. 1864. the powder, two hundred and fifteen tons in amount, was exploded, but without any sensible effect upon the fort. The Louisiana was a propeller of 295 tons, having an iron hull. She was disguised as a blockade-runner, having two raking smoke-stacks, one of which was real, the other was a sham. It being desirable to have the powder above the water-line, a light deck was built for the purpose. On this was first placed a row of

r let their slaves fight; and that Lee had told him that negroes would answer, and that he must abandon Richmond if not soon re-enforced. let the negroes volunteer and be emancipated, said Benjamin, it is the only way to save the slave-women and children. see a Rebel War Clerk's Diary, II., 415. speaking of Benjamin, the Diarist says:--no doubt he is for a desperate stroke for independence, being out of the pale of mercy; but his moral integrity is impugned by the representatives from Louisiana, who believe he has taken bribes for passports, &c., to the injury of the cause. these words, from a member of the cabinet, produced great commotion. There was a General aversion to putting the slaves into the Army, and it was not done. A bill was introduced in the Confederate Congress, authorizing the enlistment of two hundred thousand slaves, with the consent of their owners. It passed the lower House, but was lost in the Senate, notwithstanding General Lee wrote Feb. 18, 1865. a p

prehended by considering the fact, that the region between Bull Run and the Rio Grande, had been fought over, lightly or heavily, at almost every league. Sheridan's appearance at New Orleans sent dismay to the hearts of the Confederates in the Trans-Mississippi region, and the men in arms refused longer to follow their leaders in a hopeless struggle. Kirby Smith formally surrendered May 26, 1865. his entire command to General Canby, and thereby rendered an advance of Sheridan into Western Louisiana and Texas unnecessary. Before the surrender was actually effected, Kirby Smith exhibited the bad faith of first disbanding most of his army, and permitting an indiscriminate plunder of the public property. General Grant's Report, July 22, 1865. In closing that report, General Grant said: It has been my fortune to see the armies of both the West and the East fight battles, and from what I have seen, I know there is no difference in their fighting qualities.

More than a year before, Mr. Lincoln had suggested similar action to the Governor of Louisiana, but with a different motive.
