To this end It wns planned to Bend an army mid fleet Into Interior Texas by way of the lletl river, which wns navigable only In tho spring. The nrmy under General IlnnUs, sup ported by Admiral Porter's fleet of , gunboats, began tho ascent of tho rrr cr. Ittit matters went badly almost from tho beginning. Tho loaders qunr reied nmong themselves, tho prepara tions mndo were Inadequate, nnd, worst of nil, tho Red river suddenly began to fall, when by all precedents It should have risen. Admiral Porter, fearful that his fleet would bo caught In tho shnllows, hurriedly descended tho stream, and tho nrmy, already snv agoly handled by tho opposing Confed erate force, followed nfter. At Alexandria, lu central Louisiana, tho retreating federals found them - selves fnco to fnco with n crisis. At this point tho Itcd river Is broken by I a tulle of rnplds; tho stream hnd fallen so quickly that the gunboats could 110 longer navlgnto tho channel. Tho water wns but three feet four Inches, whereas Porter's larger gunboats drow nt least seven feet Hero wns Indeed a desperate situation tho nrmy fnr from Its source of supplies, tho victori ous enemy pressing In hot pursuit, and tho $2,000,000 fleet mnroonetl by falling water. It seemed to almost every one that tho only courso open wns to blow up tho vessels. Put I.tciitcunut Colonel Joseph Hnllcy of tho Fourth Wisconsin, who wns serving nt the time ns acting engineer of the Nineteenth nrmy corps, enmo forward with n plan for bringing tho Ironclads to safety. It was to rnlso tho level of the water above tho rapids by constructing n great dam ncross tho river. When n snlllelent depth of witter had accumulated ho proposed to , break tho dam In the center, thus forc ing tho vessels with the outrushliig ' flood through the shallows and Into I tho deep water below. Ileforo tho war I Colonel It a I ley had been a lumberman nnd had often seen this sclicmo cm ! ployed In tho Wisconsin pineries to I "lift" btmndod rafts of logs to safety. I Tho project wns nt llrst received with I ridicule by Colonel Ilalluy's superiors. It wns declnred Impossible of achieve ment by tho best engineers lu tho .nrmy. ' Hut there wns nothing olso to bo done, nnd at length tho Wisconsin ! lumberman was dubiously granted per- 1 mission to put his project to the proof. ills llrst step wns 10 requisition uu- tnehments of "pinery boys" from tho Twenty-third nnd Twenty-ninth Wis consin regiments, who understood what was to bo done and how to go nbout It In all It.OOO men wero employed In the enterprise. Hundreds of men wcro set to felling trees, other hundreds toll, ed lu tho quarries that wcro opened for the occnslon, nnd two or threo hun dred wngons wero engaged In the es sential work of transporting tho ma terials for tho dam. Up to their necks In (lie swirt current, which swept over tho rnplds at tho rato or nine miles an hour, under tho blistering southern sun, tho men toiled. iv..s miiilclentlr hluh to permit threo At tho end or eight nays 1110 river of tho lighter gunboats to pass 1110 - .. upper falls, wiiero tuey nan neen iil-iu, nnd como down to n position Immedi ately above tho dnm. ready to pass tho lower rapids. Ono more day and tho dam would bo IiIkIi enough to per mit nil to como down lu readiness for tho final attempt On tho morning of tho ninth day, however, tho steadily Increasing pres sure or the water caused two or tho Mono barges lu the middle of tho dout to swing uslde. mid through tho opening thus created tho accumulated torrent swirled. Tho threo lighter ves sels thnt woro In position to mnko tho pnssage, together with a fourth that had inwtnwhllo como up, promptly tool: udvtintage of the breult and, passing thu remaining rnplds on tho flood tide, safely reached tho deeper waters bo low. Somewhat encouraged by the escnpo of nt least four of tho vessels, the men bravely net about repairing tho dam ago that had been done. Within threo days tho break hud been closed nnd In nd'dllloii two wing dumi constructed on tho upper falls. Tho remaining gunlMiats. somewhat lifted by tho back water of tho wing iioms. wero now hauled over tho upper falls, nnd on May 12, iniild the tumultuous cheers of 30.000 soldiers lined up nlong the shore, made tho perilous passage over tho lower falls to the deep wiiter below. On June II. 1SUI. congress adopted a resolution or thanks to Lieutenant Colonel ltalley. A few months later tho olllcers of Admiral Porter's licet presented him with 11 beautiful sword nnd loving cup. and before the year wns over ho had been promoted by order of the war department to the rank of brevet brigadier general.

THE STORY OF OLD GLORY. Twice Has tho Design Deen Chanced 8lnco tho Official Adoption of Our First Flan In 1777 Tho Stars tho Distinctive Feature of Our Banner. Tho American flag Is a growth rather than a creation, its history can bo traced back to the twelfth century, lor nearly 000 years prior to tho first 1 "unB tiny," Juno M, 1777. During tho first crusndo In 1105 1 1'opo Urban II. nsslgnwl to nil of tho Christina nations ns standards crosses varying In color and design, emblem- title of tho warfare lu which they wcro engaged. To the Scotcli troops was 'assigned tho wlilto Biiltlro, known ns the wlilto cross of St. Andrew, on n blue Held. The ltrltlsh used n yellow cross, but a century nnd n quarter (latur they adopted a red cross on a ' vUilto Held, known ns tho red cros of St, George. I When James VI. of Scotland ascend ed the throno of Huglaud ns Jntucs I. ho combined the two Hags nnd Issued a proclamation requiring all ships to carry tho now ling nt their mnlnmnsts. At tho 8nmo time tho vessels of south Itrltnln wero to carry nt their fore tnnsts tho red cross of St. George nnd tho ships of north Itrltnln to carry tho wlilto crass of St. Andrew. Tho now Hag was known ns "king colors," tho "union colors," of tho I "Brent union" nud later ns tho "union ' Jack" nnd wns tho ono under which tho Urltlsh mndo all their permanent settlements In America. Tho peoplo In tho New nngland colo nics were bitterly opposed to tho cross lu the flag. In 10X) somo of tho troops In Massachusetts declined to march under this flag, and tho military com- I mlsslonerj wcro forced to design other lings for their troops with the cross left out Tho design they adopted has 'not been presered. In 1052 a mint wns established In Ilostou. Money coined lu this mint hnd tho plno trco stamped on ono stdo of It Tho plno treo design wns also used on New Fngland lings, certainly by 1701 and I possibly ns early ns 1035. At tho outbreak ot tho llovoltitlon tho American colonies had no flag com- men to all of them. In many cases tho merchant innrluo flag of Knglnnd wns used with tho plno treo substituted for tho union Jack. Massachusetts adopt ed the green plno trco ou n whlto Held with tho motto. "An Appeal to Heaven." Somo of the southern stntcs had tho rattlesnake flag with tho mot to "Don't Trend on Me" on a whlto or yellow Held. Tills ring hnd been used by South Carolina as early ns 1701. In September, 1775, there wns dls plnycd lu tho south what Is by muny believed to bo tho llrst distinctively American flag. It wns bluo with a white ciesccnt and matched the dress of tho troops, wlin woro caps Inscrib ed "Liberty or Death." The colonists desired to adopt a com mon ling, hut they had not yet declared Independence nnd were not nt llrst si'ckliiL' liulenpiidenco. 'l'lu-v took tlm , nrt8, flag ns they know It nnd mndo a nuw colonial Hag by dividing tho red 1 Held with white stripes Into thirteen al ternate red nnd whlto stripes. This Is known 11s the Cambridge ling, because It was (list unfurled over Washington's headquarters nt Cnmhrldge, Mass., on Jan. 1, 1770. It compiled with tho law of 1707 by having tho union Jack on It; It nlho represented tho thirteen col onies by tho thirteen stripes. As the colonists gradually becamo converted to the Men that Independ ence from tho mother country wns nec essary they began to modify tho ting, first by leaving off tho union Jack nnd using only tho thirteen horizontal stripes. Tho modified lings wcro not til- , wnis red and white, but regulnrly con- .. .. ., . 'sietcil of coiiiDiuniions or two colors selected fr.om red. whlto. bluo and Yel low. TlioTiual modification wns tho re placement of tho union jack by tho wlilto stnrs on n blue Held. Tho stnrs lire the only distinctive fea ture of tho American flag. Tho charm ing story which credits llotsy ltoss I with making tho first ling of stars and stripes Is still accepted by historians. When Washington suggested tho six pointed ctnr sbo demonstrated thu case 1 wltli which n five pointed star could bo , mude by folding n plecu of paper aud ' producing one with u single clip of tho . scissors. Tho olllclnl adoption ot our first Hag wns In 1777. Ou Juno It of that year tho Continental congress passed I tin act providing thnt "the flag of tho 1 thirteen United States bo thirteen , stripes, alternate red and wblto; that the Union be thirteen stars, wbtto 1 ou a bluo field, representing n now constellation." The thirteen sturs were arranged In a circle to symbolize the perpetuity or tho union or tho states. Vermont was ndiiiltted to the Union In 1701, and Kentucky In 1702. It wns felt that these two new Btntcs ought to tie recognized on tho flag, so lu 1701 congress passed un net making tne ,aB nf(ml ,,- and fifteen stripes. This remained tho flag of the United Stntcs throughout the wnr of 1812, un' til thero wero tweuty stutrs lu tho Union. In 1810 1111 effort wns ngaln made to modify tho flag so that all tho new stntes would bo represented on It To be continually rfddlng stripes would mnko tho ling very awkward In shupo nnd nppenrnnce, so after arguing the matter for two yenrs congress decided to return to the orlglunl thirteen strlptu und one star for each state.
