leet at the falls near Alexandria, which are about a mile in length, filled with rugged rocks, it was discovered that the water had fallen so low that it would be impossible for the vessels to pass them. This difficulty had been anticipated by many officers of the army, who were acquainted with the treacherous character of Red River navigation, before our return to Grand Ecore, and the idea had been suggested of rescuing the squadron by means of a dam. Lieutenant-Colonel Joseph Bailey, of Wisconsin, who had had much experience on the rivers of the North-west, and was familiar with the difficulties of swell-water navigation, consulted with Major-General William B. Franklin, commanding the Nineteenth army corps, on whose staff he was at the time, and submitted to him the plan of a tree-dam. No action was, however, taken until the arrival of the forces at Alexandria, when the matter was placed before General Banks, and the proposed plan explained in detail by Lieutenant-Colonel Bailey.

ured in the assault upon Fort Tyler, at West Point, Georgia, by detachments from First Wisconsin, Second Indiana, and Seventh Kentucky, April sixteenth, 1865. The First Wisconsin was first inside the fort, and lost twice as many men as both the other detachments; I therefore respectfully request, as an evidence of appreciation of the conduct of the regiment, and as a personal favor to myself, that the flag be returned to the regiment commander with permission to send it to the Governor of Wisconsin, to be placed in the State Capitol, among the trophies forwarded by other regiments. No other trophy has ever been asked by the regiment, and no regiment from the State has captured a greater number. Other trophies, as arms, horses, etc., etc., captured by the brigade, have (in accordance with established usage in the cavalry) been appropriated by the captors. I am, Major, very respectfully, your obedient servant, O. H. La Grange. Colonel Commanding. Major J. M. Bacon, A. A. A. G.
