What was done is related by Governor Pettus in his message to the extra session of the legislature in the summer of 1861. He sent Capt. J. F. Kerr, with 16 men of the Jackson artillery company, and ordered Capt. H. H.

iver, and the people placed great reliance in the strength of the plans made for resisting any invasion through Kentucky and Tennessee. But, toward the close of 1861, the government at Washington had arranged for an expedition against New Orleans, and with its land forces had occupied most of Kentucky; while Grant, with an armyto hold the line of the Tennessee and Cumberland rivers were sadly inadequate. Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston, of Kentucky, coming from California in the spring of 1861, after refusing the highest command in the United States army, was the first to receive at the hands of the Confederate States the lofty rank of general, and, withd of the fortifications in and about Bowling Green, in which his men were posted. Here they remained until their term of enlistment expired.

(See House Journal, November, 1862, and November, 1863, appendix, p. 76.) There has been no such exhibition of patriotism since Bruce and Wallace left the craigs of Scotland for battle.

In the fall of 1861, the construction had been begun at Memphis of two ironclad rams, the Tennessee and Arkansas, to be completed December 24th; but as they were unfinished at the fall of Island No.10,he Tennessee was burned and the Arkansas was brought down the Mississippi and taken up the Yazoo river to Greenwood for completion. About the time the bombardment of Vicksburg began, the work of completing the boat was put in charge of Lieut. Isaac N. Brown, C. S. N., who had entered the United States navy from M
