INFORMATION WANTED In early June,
1882, Gen. Robert E. Lee called to his head
quarters in Richmond, Va., the Army's 29-year-old
cavalry leader, Brig. Gen. James
Edwell Brown (Job) Stuart. Lee had to
know how strongly the Union forces held
the territory north of the Chickahominy
river as they lay siege to the Confederate
capital. To garner the information, Lee
chose Stuart. On June 11, Stuart picked his
troops: the 1st cavalry command by Fitz
hugh Lee, the general's nephew, would lead.
Four companies of the 4th Virginia were
added. "Rooncy" Lee, the general's second
son, would lead part of his 9th Virginia
and the rest, of the 4th. The best of the
Jeff Davis Legion and the South Carolina
Boykin Rangers were also included. All
told, the force would be 1,200 men. The
expedition started on June 12, as the Con
federates rode north from Richmond to
Taylorsville. The next day the column turn
ed cast to Hanover Court House. At the
town there was a sharp clash and the Fed
erals were swept out. Later the same day
there was nothcr clash near Hawz's Shop.
Still later there was a fight at Old Church,
a crossroad point for Federal wagon trains.
At this point, Stuart informed his officers
that he proposed to "ride around" the Union
Army. They had two choices: return the
way they came and chance being cut off, or
continue southward across the Chickahom
iny river and then west along the James
river to Richmond. The second choice would
provide more information for General Lee
and would surprise the Union forces. The
expedition went on, and Stuart hit Tun
stall's Station, scattering the Union guards.
Stuart then considered attacking the White
House but the danger appeared too great.
The continued to Tallesville, and at dawn
on June 14, the arrived at the Chickahom
iny, They crossed at Fort Bridge and return
ed to Richmond via the James river road.
Stuart reported to Lee on June 15, with all
the information needed, after having ridden
all the way around the Union army. This
map, especially researched and drawn for
this scries shows the Stuart route. (UP1)
Memphis Topples To Federals
By MERTON T. AKERS
UPI Correspondent
The Civil War seemed to
hang in the balance as sum
mer broke in June, 1862.
The big guns had fallen
silent on the Virginia Penin
sula after the battle of Seven
Pines (Fair Oaks).
Richmond, capital of the
Confederacy, still was under
siege by the Army of the
Potomac.
While all was quiet along
the Chickahominy river and
swamps where Confederate
Gen. Joseph E. Johnston had
failed to crush r . isolated
Federal corps at Seven Pines
and had been carried off the
field gravely wounded, the
silence was temporary - ev
eryone on each side knew
that.
There was no silence in the
West.
Corinth, Miss., an important
railroad point, was abandon
ed to Union forces on May
30.
Forts Pillow and Randolph
on the Mississippi river guard
ing Memphis, Tenn., also were
abandoned by the Confeder
ates on June 4.
Sharp Battle
Memphis itself, the most
important commercial city on
the river between St. Louis
and New Orleans, was occu
pied by Federal forces on
June 6 after a sharp gunboat
battle.
A couple of decisive Union
victories - one on the Penin
sula, another In the West -might
decide the war, now a
little more than a year old.
Chances for the victories
seemed good, decept'vely so,
it turned out.
Corinth was abandoned on
the night of May 29-30. Gen.
P. G. T. Beauregard marched
his Rebel army out of the key
city and left it to the Fed
erals under Maj. Gen. Henry
W. Hallcck.
Halleck had taken person
al command of the Union
army in the west after the
battle of Shiloh. He relegated
Maj. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant
to deputy commander, a job
that was mostly title. He re
inforced the army until it
numbered about 110,000 men.
Then he set out after Beaure
gard, who had withdrawn the
Rebel army after Shiloh to
Corinth.
Corinth was about 20 miles
from Shiloh. It took HaJJack
nearly a month to march the
army that distance.
Evacuating Lee, who had
never yet risked a single
battle with the invader, is
commanding general."
Men Set To Work
Lee paid ilttle mind to the
critics and set his men to
work fortifying the lines.
Beauregard had fortified
Corinth but soon it became
obvious that he could not hold
it.
The rebel retirement was
skillful and preceded by elab
orate false alarms which con
vinced the Federals, by that
time within cannon shot of
the city, that the South was
receiving reinforcements. Lo
comotives puffed back and
forth while a cheering squad
regularly set up a chorus as
if welcoming fresh troops.
The strategy worked so
well that Maj. Gen. John
Pope in the front lines noti
fied Halleck at 1:20 a.m. on
May 30 that he expected an
attack a dawn. Instead his
troops marched unmolested
into Corinth - deserted by
army and civilians, too - in
the early morning.
Pursuit Feeble
Halleck might have expect
ed to pursue Beauregard with
everythnig he had. But Hal
leck was not one to press his
luck. Pursuit was feeble. And
he had to break up his big
army for garrison duty in oc
cupied territory.
Grant, who tagged along
becoming more and more de
pressed, asked for and receiv
ed 30 days' leave. He was
ready to quit the army, again.
Maj. Gen. William T. Sher
man heard about his friend's
decision and rode over to see
him.
"I found him," Sherman
wrote later, "seated on a
camp-stool, with papers on a
rude camp-table; he seemed
to be employed in sorting let
ters and tying them up with
red tape into convenient bun
dles. ... I inquired if it were
true that he was going away.
He said 'yes.' I then inquired
the reason and he said:
" 'Sherman, you know. You
know that I am in the way
here. I have stood it as long
as I can, and can endure it no
longer.' I inquired where he
was going to, and he said, 'St.
Louis.' I then asked him if he
had any business there, and
he said, 'Not a bit.' I begged
him to stay, illustrating his
case by my own.
"Before the battle of Shi-

tie had given me new life
and now I was in high feath
er; and I argued with him
that, if he went away, events
would go right along and he
would be left out; whereas
if he remained some happy
incident might restore him to
favor and his true place."
Grant decided to remain.
The "happy accident" came
the next month when Hal
leck was called to Washing
ton to become chief of staff
of the Union armies.
Abandonment of Corinth
left the two forts guarding
Memphis outflanked. Fort
Pillow, about 40 miles up the
Mississippi from Memphis,
and Fort Randolph, about 15
miles below Pillow, were giv
en up by the Confederates
on June 4.
Only eight small gunboats
mounting 28 light cannon
now were between Memphis
and the Federals.
At dawn or June 6 the Fed
eral fleet appeared upstream
from Memphis. It consisted of
five ironclad gunboats mount
ing 68 heavy cannon and
three Ellet rams, a new weap
on in river warfare.
The rams were the brain
child of Charles Ellet Jr., an
elderly civil engineer who
early In 1862 had interested
the War Department in his
theory that a fast boat could
ram effectively in narrow
rivers.
Engines Braced
He bought t h e fastest
steamboats available, beefed
up their engines to make 15
knots, fortified their bows
with timbers and installed
three bulkheads the length of
the vessels. The engines were I
braced to stand the shock of
ramming.
Ellet sent his rams knifing i
between the Federal Ironclads j
and bore down on the Rebel :
gunboats.
Between the rams and the
Federal gunboats, seven of
the eight Rebel vessels were
sunk or beached. One, the
"Van Dorn," escaped down
river.
In an hour and 10 minutes
it was over.
Now Vicksburg was the i
only stronghold which cut
Federal domination of the
river for its entire length.
Anaconda - the big border
squeeze - was working.
soil judging team of Bruno
Meye, Steve Hall and Bob
Butcher tied for first place at
the district soil judging con
test at Eagle Point high school
recently.
The contest consisted of
judging three different sites
and evaluating the sites cm 26
different points which are con
sidered important. Two points
are given for each correct an
swer, and the team receiving
the highest total score for all
three members on all three
sites won the contest.
Steve Hall scored a total
of 96 points on all three sites.
Bruno Meyer received a total
of 90, and Bob Butcher tied
for the top score of 104 wall
Leonard Hansen from Eagle
Point.
