Flag-Officer Farragut, as was then his rank, was almost in d for that superbly useless bombardment, which Farragut never believed in from the hour when it was f time when the last mortar was fired. When Farragut was called to Washington and the naval part odid not reduce or silence the forts, then Captain Farragut, with his fleet of steamers, would attemprts.

When Farragut came up the river to be followed by my troops, Lovell deserted the city with some eight or nine thousand men, some underrleans, put on citizens' clothes, and went about their business. In the interval between the evacuation by Lovell and Farragut's arrival, a panic had seized the city, exhibiting itself in the destruction of property. Cotton, sugar, tar, rosin, tiin the case of the McRae, captured at Fort Jackson. She was the only Confederate gunboat that had not been destroyed by Farragut's fleet in its passage of the forts. The enemy asked that she might be sent up under a flag of Benj. F. Butler in 186ounded officers and men to the city. Of course she was to return and deliver herself up, because, as she was then, with Farragut's fleet above and below her, she could not possibly have escaped.

At last, on one Saturday, Flag-Officer Farragut had been invited ashore by Colonel Deming, who was in command of the troops in the city, to take dinner with him and his friends, in compliment of FarragutFarragut's great achievements. Colonel Deming went to the levee to meet the flag-officer when he landed, and they walked up arm in arm in full uniform. While going along one of the principal streets, there fell upon them what at first they took to be a sudden and heavy shower; but it proved to be the emptying of a vessel of water upon teption of your note, that so sad a result to the sisters of your society had happened from the bombardment of Donaldsonville.

ps ten or twelve days later, and possibly this failure of mine was one of the grounds in the mind of the President for my being allowed to be removed, or which caused the removal, and so I suffered. But within less than thirty days afterwards Farragut was summoned to City Point to look into the naval matters on James River. The enemy, taking courage, had come down through Trent's Reach, with three of their light-draught, iron-clad gunboats during the high water to attack our monitors lying nelp it off. This took so long that the night passed, and in daylight when they got the vessel off, the forts opened upon them, and they ran back up river and never came down afterwards. A court-martial was held on Parker, presided over by Admiral Farragut, which found him guilty of cowardice, and he was sentenced to be dismissed from service. This sentence was changed to a lighter punishment by Gideon Welles, who thought cowardice excusable. Dutch Gap has since been dredged out, and is th

tte, stood out for you boldly as against marking Pot Porter as they called him. In one of his best despatches, however, Porter is compelled to acknowledge the correctness of our judgment . . . . Yours truly, G. Weitzel, Major-General. Farragut, who had been offered the command of the expedition against Fort Fisher, but was — unhappily for me — too sick to take it, after he learned that the expedition was to go with my army, wrote me a confidential letter in which he strongly advised mmost adulatory in his conduct toward him. They were apparently the best possible friends. During this time Porter wrote a confidential letter to Gideon Welles, the Secretary of the Navy. The close, friendship of Grant and Porter remained until Farragut died, when Porter was appointed admiral in his place. Grant appointed Borie, a respectable sugar merchant of Philadelphia, his Secretary of the Navy. Porter immediately claimed that as admiral it was his duty to carry on all matters appertai

if that were so, to run by the fort into Cape Fear River, and then the troops could land and hold the beach without liability of being shelled by the enemy's gunboats (or the Tallahassee being seen in the river). It is to be remarked that Admiral Farragut, even, had never taken a fort except by running by and cutting it off from all prospect of reinforcements, as at Fort Jackson and Fort Morgan, and that no casemated fort had been silenced by naval fire during the war. That if the admiral would put his ships in the river the army could supply him across the beach, as we had proposed to do Farragut at Fort St. Philip. That at least the blockade of Wilmington would be thus effectual, even if we did not capture the fort. To that the admiral replied that he should probably lose a boat by torpedoes if he attempted to run by. He was reminded that the army might lose five hundred men by the assault, and that his boat would not weigh in the balance, even in a money point of view, for a
