It was with I'll tlosljrtftha: Grant' army was ont tip tlin TcnncMcp, nml cncainjicd at Bhlloli. But llio rebels did not wait to bo attacked. They advanced tlienisclvci, with tho bold and Jtullclou4 design of beat, lug tliu nrniy nt 8I1II0I1. and ilicn of march. Ing northward, regaining all tlio ground Ihiiy hud lot, and reiallatlng by an Inva. "Ion or tho States north or liio Uliio. Tills hardy attempt was well nlgh euc cewful. Tlio night beroro tho battle of Bhllnli, Ilenuresard, as tho rebol council of war separated, had proplieslcd: "Tomor. row night wo sleep In tho enemy's Cttlllll." When tho rebels llrst attacked, Orunt was at Biivnnuah, soven miles down thu rWer. Hislcn'ng back, ha was on tho flijd nt tho earliest poislblo moment, and did wliatover could bo dono lowlihstand tho troincndouii force of the rebel udvauco. When Iluull came upon tho Held toward night, tlm aspect of uir.ilrs to struck him that IiIh flrst Inquiry of Oraut was, wat pteparallons ho had made for retreat. "I Imvo not despaired of whipping them yet." was tho thoroughly charactoiUtlc reply. One account ndds, that when Iluell urged that n pnulent general ought to pro. y du for pliabilities ot defeat, and repeated his Inquiry, Grant pointed to his transports ?.",'! "!'.' "Won't you sso tliow boats r" "Yes," cald Uuell, "but they will not carry nioru than ton thouiauU mon, and wo have moro tliau tlilriy tliousaud." "Well," returned Orant, "ton thousand aro moro than I Intend to rcireat with." Tho consequence of Bhlluh was, tho withdrawal of tlio rebels from their occoud lino of defi)nsc, by their evacuation ofCor Inlli on tho aOth of Slay, seven weeks alter, wards, tho disappointment both of their great plan of a northern invas.on and of thclrsecondaryplinof holding the Mem. phis and Charleston Hillroad line, and tho opening of all Tonncwee, uud tho Nnalh of Jltalsiippl and Alaliima, to tho Union forces; tlio opening uf tlio Mississippi rlvor from Memphis down loVlcksburg; tlio sub. sequent movement which reaultcilln tlio bat. tIeofMulfreesboroaudlliosecuringorCh.it. tanoogaon tho east; and tho series of efforts which cmmluatcd In tho capture of Vlclts. burg 011 tho west. In short, this battlo nuns l,ho Itebclllon, In tlio Valley of tho MlMissippI, luto a defenslvu posiuro out of which it never escaped during thu remain, dor of tho war. A few d ly after tho proclamation which gavo freedom to tho slaves, General Grant expressed hi concurrence in It after his sober fashion, by a dry phr in a general order on tho subject of organising colored regiments. "It u expected," lie says, 'that all commanders will especially exert themselves lu carrying out tho policy of the administration, not only In orL'aulilu" colored regiments, and rendering new effective, but also in removing prcjrdii; agiinrt them." Vlckshurg and Tort Iliidion woro now tlio only remaining two or that series of positions, most or them really Impregnable Irom the river, by which tho rehcla had throttled tho great artery of western com. mcrcc. His previous career niturolly enough pointed nut Grant lor the command of the Vlcksburg campaign; nml tho event showed that his ubmiluto inability to let go where he had once taken hold, his luovl'.ablo coutln uenco in hammering nt Ids object, woro ex. actly tho qultllci needed. For n llttln while, General Ilalleclt Iitm. self came mid commanded luierHonnganst Corinth, General Qrunt bclug second fn command. Hallcck being appointed GonoroMn. Chief, Grant remain d in command of thu Army of the Tennessee, and of tho mill tary dlstrkuor Cairo, WeUTennesteo awl Mississippi. Tho rob ds Knew nswell as ho tli it his face was set steadfastly towards Vlcksburg; uud to begin with, thoy at. tacked his troops nt Corinth nud Iuka in great Toico and wills tremondnus rury, In order to break up his plans. At both place they wer however defeated. In October, the rebel Genu ul Poiuborlou was placed n command in Northern Miulsslppl, nad in tho last two months or 180J, took place Grant a first attempt against Vlcksburg. rho plaeo had already been attacked lv the two powerful flcoia or Tarragut ani D.ivl, during suventy dyi, from, tho pre ecu ng May lBth to July 27lh ; but though 2.1.00U shot nndidiell had been thrown lutolt not ono gun had hccndlsmoiut' d, nndonly seven men wcro hilled nnd fifteen woun. (led; n result which showed plainly onouch how tho place was to bo taken If at all. Grant'H movement was to ha by land southward from hid post at Corinth, direct lyut Pemborton; whllo Sherman was t pot footing it prwtblo close to Vlcksburs. ..'u'?." ,'rout'' '"' l.pot of iuppl?R nt Holly Bprlngs. midway in his progfess, brolco tfown his part or the plan, and TeuT. bcrton then relnlorclng Vlcksburg, repuls. ed Hhorman and hrotw down tho rest of It Grant uow establlslied his head.quarter nt MemphU, .lanniiy 10th, I80J, and moved his urmy towards Ida goal by water On tlw 2d of Fobru try, ho reached fi?, Point, a little above tlio ciiyj his armv just kqvS ihVK "ni1 0l Mm""a' nd, Hispurposawasono; to cot his armv across to tho Vlcksburg side and houc0"o P ojecu ohls attack. First ho tried a canal u?v 'i'8,n,ck "L",Q vcrpjnlnjulaowo I 0 yicbutirg. Tlirough this, if ho could M? lvu c,r ,0 rtCC,,"t ns now bed, 1 " could lake Ids forces below tho city, out oF floo.1 burst into the uallnUhoJ .canal and drowned out tho phm. TUcu.ho tried It clear out a longer water route to do tho samo thing, through n string of bayous and riven back In tho Louisiana swamps. A fall lu tint river brnko up this plan, as 11 riso had donn that before it. Then hn tried u longer route of the samo sort, beginning at I-nlio I'rovldcnco, scveuly.flvu miles nortli of Vickthurg, but it was found tin. practicable. Tbmi resorting to tho cant side or tho Mississippi, ho scut a navnl ex. ,edltlon to try to peuutrnto Yhzoo Pass, and thencu through tho iucnncclvnblo tnnplo ortho Yazoo Bwnmps nud their rivers, to got behind tho outer rebel dofencefl north of VickHburg, and so tnalo 11 lodgment. Uut this plan wan checkmated by thu hasty erection In the heart of thu swamp region, at tho Junction of tho Tallahachlo nnd Yaroo rivers, of a powcrlul fort, which tho fleet tried lu vain to silence. Then ho sent another fleet to try unothar part of thu same monstrous tangle, by way of tho ISIg Bun flower river, but that effort miscarried much ns tho preceding ono did. Tho obstinate commander had now tried six assaults upon Ills prey, nnd had linen busily Nothing t his failures for nearly four months. Mnrch 20th, 1803, ho set his forces In motion fur the seventh nnd sue cosful uffurt. This wus by what ho had in fact recognized from thu beginning as the best lino of operation by tho south. It was however also tho most dllllcult. As one of the lilstotlaiiH nf tlio war observes, a measure of thu dlfllcultles offered is given by thufiicttliat Gen. W. T. Sherman wiib not disposed to advise It. The tnimu writer adds. It can outy be said that there wus that in tho composition of General Grant'H mind that prompted him to undcrtaku tliut which no onoclso would liavn adventured." Oolouel arioreon's cavalry forcu m now launched down from Tennessee to go tearing llimugh tho wholo interior of Mis. tisslppl, nnd thoioughly frighten nil its people, whllo ho should break up, as ho circuited fur around Vickburg, as many as possible of tho railroads, bridges, and other moans or communication, leading Irom tho city back into tho couutry, or Irom ono part of tho Btato to nnothor. Grnnt'Bown troops moved down the river a total distance of sevonty.flve miles. The fleet nnd transports ran thu butteries nnd ferried the army across at Brulusburg; Grunt moved at ouce three miles Inland, and May 1st, beat General llowcn ut Port Gibson. Then ho moved eastward, diovu Johnston out of Jackson, an important centre for railroad lines, ami broke up all tlio communications in tho neighborhood ; thou turning short about, ho approached Vlcksburg by forced marches ; on May 10th. met Pomborton nt Otminplun Ilillsniulilofoatcdlilm; follow ed hint shin ply up, forced tlio pissugo of tho JJig IJlack, diove Pcmberton Into tho city, and on May 10th had formed his Hues of attack, Alter a vigorous slcgo, wh so progress attracted the attentlou of the Badtk1jB Al!1tMAlf mmnmAAE1 mMAA mm Will lift U1T111Z.CII TV!
