the gunboats to go into action. Two of the fleet, accordingly, ran up the river, and threw a few shells at long range. McClernand and Lewis Wallace were informed of Smith's orders to assault, and directed to hold themselves in readiness to renew the battle in their front, the moment Smith began his attack. To McClernand, the order was, to push his column to the river if possible, otherwise to remain in statu quo, maintaining his present position. Smith's assaulting column was formed of Lauman's brigade, the Second Iowa infantry having the lead. Smith formed the regiment in two lines, with a front of five companies each, thirty paces apart. He told the men what they had to do, and took his position between these two lines. The attack was made with great vigor and success. The ground was broken and difficult, impeded with underbrush, as well as extremely exposed; but Smith, at the head of his troops, charged directly on the rebel works. The enemy, having massed on his own left
rd, Hurlbut, who was still at Memphis, was directed to order four regiments of his command to Milliken's bend, with the utmost dispatch. Take them from the troops most convenient to transportation. On the 5th, Grant also ordered Hurlbut to send Lauman's division to Milliken's bend, to be forwarded to this army with as little delay as practicable. . . . Let them move by brigades, as fast as transportation can be got. . . . This order for Lauman's division is in addition to the four regiments orLauman's division is in addition to the four regiments ordered a few days since. The commissary of subsistence at Grand Gulf was instructed: You will load all teams presenting themselves for rations with promptness and dispatch, regardless of requisitions or provision returns. There must be no delay on account of either lack of energy or formality. To an officer of his staff, who had been left at Grand Gulf to hurry up supplies and superintend transportation, Grant wrote: See that the commissary at Grand Gulf loads all the wagons presenting thems
h Warrenton, and for a while drew his supplies from that point; trains on the west bank moving from Milliken's bend to a point opposite Warrenton, whence stores were ferried to the eastern shore. The hospitals and supplies at Grand Gulf were also ordered up to Warrenton. Hard bread, coffee, and sugar were hauled out to the front; and the troops rested for two days, clearing the ground on which they were to encamp, and acquiring a more distinct idea of that over which they were to advance. Lauman's division was now arriving at Chickasaw bayou, and the rest of McArthur's command at Warrenton. Pickets were pushed forward, in the mean time, and positions selected for the artillery. On the 20th, also, Grant sent Admiral Porter word: A gunboat playing on the second water-battery would materially help us; and, at noon of that day, the mortar-fleet took position on the west side of the peninsula, and commenced the bombardment of the city. This fire continued without intermission on the
s approach Carr's approach Hovey's approach Lauman's approach Herron's approach menacing attituntre, and McClernand the left of the line; but Lauman's division, arriving on the 24th of May, was pce of such negative support as he received. Lauman's division arrived on the 24th of May, and washe Hall's ferry and Warrenton roads. At first, Lauman was not required to push forward a system of a from the Hall's ferry to the Warrenton road. Lauman was then moved further to the right, extendingce from outside, being effectually cut off. Lauman now began an approach, near the entrance of th massing on Mc-Pherson. And again: Notify General Lauman to be in readiness all night. To Washburnle the centre, and Parke the left of the line: Lauman was now with Ord, and Sooy Smith, of Washburne; and on the 12th, an affair occurred in which Lauman's division only was engaged; it resulted in th hundred men to Sherman, and was occasioned by Lauman's misinterpretation of his orders.
