He so reported to the Secretary of the Navy on the 30th day of April. That 1,800 of his mortar shells had fallen within it he reported to the Secretary of the Navy, June 10. Second,--that the surrender was wholly on account of the bombardment. Third,--that he remained with his mortar fleet from the time of Farragut's passage on April 24, until April 30, the day of the surrender, and did not go down the river.

Upon examination I now find the evidence conclusive that this burning of the crops was a premeditated and pre

War Correspondence, Series I., Vol. XV., p. 501. It was post hoc if not propter hoc. He was taken sick, resigned his command, and went to Bladon Springs to recover.
