d the victories which alone could secure it. With this object in view, the numerous troops they had kept back under the pretext of protecting Washington were scattered over so extended a line that they possessed no power of resistance. McDowell's corps had been sent as far as the Rappahannock. Shields' division, detached from Banks' corps, had come to replace under McDowell's command that of Franklin, which had been sent to Yorktown. It had left the valley of Virginia in the second week of May to join its new corps commander, who already occupied Fredericksburg with the three divisions of Ord, McCall and King, and who was watching an enemy reduced in reality to a thin line of mounted scouts. Geary, with a few regiments, equivalent to a small division, occupied Manassas. Banks, instead of remaining on the defensive, after having successfully repulsed Jackson at Winchester, had followed his adversary step by step into the great valley watered by the Shenandoah; and the President, e

Beauregard had successively summoned to him all the small garrisons placed en echelon along the line of the Mississippi, so that at the end of May the garrison of Fort Pillow was reduced to a few hundred men. On leaving Corinth he ordered the post to be evacuated. On the morning of the 5th of June, the Federals found Fort Pillow abandoned; it was a work of considerable strength, containing ver-shifting channel, increased still further the difficulties which the Federal fleets had to surmount. Farragut had soon found that it would be impossible for him to capture this position with the means which were at his disposal at the end of May. We have said that when Bragg took up his march for Chattanooga, Van Dorn, who had been invested with a new independent command, was charged with defending both banks of the Mississippi with his troops and those of Price. He immediately repaired

the neighborhood, found himself at the head of nearly nineteen thousand men. The immense works around Corinth had been so modified as to admit of their being defended by this small force. This entrenched camp had been constructed in the month of May for Beauregard's army, more than sixty thousand strong; it had then been occupied and extended by the one hundred thousand men under Halleck. Looking upon the fortifications of that period as merely advanced works, Grant, assisted by an engineer s alacrity had deceived the foresight of Rosecrans. He had thought that his adversary would be obliged to cross Bridge Creek under the guns of his works, in order to attack him from the north-west; indeed, at the time of the siege in the month of May, the forest swamps extending north-west of Corinth presented an insurmountable obstacle to combatants, but the heats had since dried them up. It was only during the night that the Federal general became aware that the Confederate outposts, by foll

During the first fortnight of May, four gun-boats, commanded by Lieutenant Flusser, scoured Albemarle Sound, carrying off the machinery appertaining to the lighthouse of Wade's Point, on the Chowan,orary measures were not of a character to free Mr. Chase from embarrassment; he did not succeed in disposing of the scrip issued on the last loan, and at the end of May the increase of the debt, in consequence of the currency-bill, resolved itself thus: Paper money$117,000,000 Certificates of deposit51,000,000 Certificates of ida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina. The representatives of Texas were admitted to seats in Congress in 1861, those of Virginia and Arkansas in May, those of Tennessee and North Carolina in June, and finally those of Kentucky and Missouri in December.
