r of Columbus, and to keep the enemy from throwing over the river much more force than they now have there; Grant informing him that the principal point to gain, is to prevent the enemy from sending a force to fall in the rear of those now sent out from this command. Two other and smaller demonstrations for the same purpose, were ordered at the same time, from Bird's Point and Fort Holt, near Cairo, the commanders being instructed to return the day after moving out. On the evening of the 6th, Grant started down the river in person, with thirty-one hundred and fourteen men on transports, and under convoy of two gunboats. The force included a section of artillery, two squadrons of cavalry, and five regiments of infantry, to some of whom arms had been issued for the first time only two days before. Grant had but one general officer in his command, McClernand, who at that time had never heard a hostile shot; Logan, who afterwards became so distinguished, also accompanied him, but a

f the expedition, and that it had no connection whatever with any ulterior operations. Halleck ordered the movement on the 6th, but, on the 10th, he telegraphed directions for its delay; Grant, however, had already started, and the expedition was noon the western bank in the morning. The remainder of the national forces, under McClernand, were to move at eleven on the 6th, to the rear of Fort Henry, to take position on the roads to Fort Donelson and Dover, where they could intercept either rthe rebels were rapidly reinforcing, made it imperatively necessary, in Grant's opinion, for the fort to be carried on the 6th; otherwise he would have delayed another day, to make the investment complete. His forces were not up from Cairo in suffin writing, that success might depend very greatly upon the celerity of his operations. Promptly at eleven o'clock, on the 6th, the march began; the gunboats moved at the same hour, and shortly before noon attacked the water-batteries, at a distance

ery position occupied. . . In conclusion, I will say that you may rely on my carrying out your instructions in every particular to the best of my ability. On the 6th, Halleck telegraphed to Grant: General McClellan directs that you report to me daily the number and position of the forces under your command. Your neglect of repeour troops was of the utmost importance, was a matter of very serious complaint at Washington, so much so that I was advised to arrest you on your return. On the 6th, Grant again, telegraphed: Your dispatch of yesterday just received. I did all I could to get you returns of the strength of my command. Every move I made westion of surprise, it is curious to note that Beauregard not only does not claim to have surprised Grant, but says in his official report: At five A. M., on the 6th inst., a reconnoitring party of the enemy having become engaged with the advanced pickets, the commander of the forces (A. S. Johnston) gave orders to begin the moveme

s in this respect. . . . Every day's delay is worth two thousand men to the enemy. To the same officer he said, on the 6th: Send me a report of about the number of rations on hand and sent forward to Grand Gulf. Send also to McFeely and Binghamn the porches of houses on the road. When he left Hard Times, Grant took no baggage with him but a tooth-brush. On the 6th, he informed Halleck: Ferrying land transportation and rations to Grand Gulf is detaining me on the Black river: I will moRosecrans at least make a demonstration of advancing? The only answer to this was the dispatch recalling Grant. On the 6th, Grant ordered McPherson: Move one of your divisions to Rocky Springs to-morrow, leaving the other to occupy from your pre the morning of the 2d of May, started with Steele and Tuttle's divisions for Hard Times. He reached there by noon of the 6th, crossed the Mississippi during that night and the following day, and, on the 8th, after filling his haversacks with three

nt Vicksburg is ours. Ord and Steele have both been notified to move, the moment Vicksburg falls. I will let you know, the moment Pemberton's answer arrives. I have no suggestion or orders to give. I want you to drive Johnston out in your own way, and inflict on the enemy all the punishment you can. I will support you to the last man that can be spared. It was the night of the 5th, before all of Sherman's force reached the Big Black river. Bridges were constructed at once, and on the 6th, the troops were all across. On the 7th and 8th, they marched by separate roads to Clinton. The weather was intensely hot, the dust stifling, but the enemy made no serious opposition to their progress. Evidence accumulated at every step that Johnston, with four divisions of infantry, and a large cavalry and artillery force, was now falling back on Jackson. He reached that place on the 7th, and on the 9th, Sherman came up to the familiar ground. The works had been strengthened since May

orrow; but Longstreet having retreated, I feel disposed to stop, for a stern chase is a long one. But I will do all that is possible. Without you specify that you want troops, I will let mine rest to-morrow, and ride to see you. . . . On the 6th, accordingly, Sherman rode over to Burnside's headquarters, ordering all his troops to halt, except the two divisions of Granger, which were directed to move forward to Little river, and Granger to report in person to Burnside, for orders. Burng. His force is large, and Longstreet must retreat before it, without much fighting. I do not see how his route can be any other than up the valley. You will, no doubt, be able to inflict a heavy blow upon his retreating column. Again, on the 6th, to Foster: Instruct your cavalry to follow Longstreet to the last minute. It is not necessary that they should attack the main force,--but follow up the rear, hasten the retreat, pick up stragglers, and destroy the road as far east as possible.

tion. But I was at the battles of April 6th and 7th, 1862. General Grant visited my division in person about ten A. M., when the battle raged fiercest. I was then on the right. After some general conversation, he remarked that I was doing right in stubbornly opposing the progress of the enemy; and, in answer to my inquiry as to cartridges, told me he had anticipated their want, and given orders accordingly; he then said his presence was more needed over at the left. About two P. M. of the 6th, the enemy materially slackened his attack on me, and about four P. M. I deliberately made a new line behind McArthur's drill-field, placing batteries on chosen ground, repelled easily a cavalry attack, and watched the cautious approach of the enemy's infantry, that never dislodged me there. I selected that line in advance of a bridge across Snake creek, by which we had all day been expecting the approach of Lewis Wallace's division from Crump's Landing. About five P. M., before the sun set
