Juat below Fort Jackson the confederates hai ob- structed the river with a heavy iron chatn, to — approach from below. A row of eight masted vessels ne edn thechain. A com- eed of two hundred sharpshooters ranged the KS Of the river. They gave the forts notifi- cation of any movements below, and picked off men whenever they got the chance. TRIS WAS THE FORMIDABLE DEFENCE Farragut was to break through, pass the forts conquer the rebel fleet, lay New Orlsans under his guns, and demand her surrender, Here is what he bad to do this with: War, sixteen gunboats, twenty-one schooners, each with a thirteen-inch mortar, and five other small vessels. The number of guns carried by the fleet was over two hun- dred. It was by far the most powerful naval expedition that had ever sailed under the Amer- lean flag. Acting with the naval force wag General Butler’s 15,000 men to hold whatever Farragutmight capture and co-operate with him. Much diificulty was experienced in get- ting the heavier vessels of the fleet over the bar, a3 there was Dut 15 feet of water there, ‘The Colorado could not be taken in at all, PREPARATIONS FOR THE BATTLE. . When the day for action arrived General Butler's forces were put on transports, to move as the naval operations progressed. The mor- tar schooners on the 18th of April, 1: had all reached their positions and were ready to open fire, Before tney took their positions the masts were dressed with bushes, which Inter- mingled them indistinguisbably among the matted vines and trees behind which they were placed. Never once during the bombardment were the schooners seen from the forts. Of | Course their approximate position was made | known to the enemy by the fring. On the first day six of the mortar schooners were placed under the left bank of the river. The remainder— fifteen—were placed under the right bank. They were about three thousand yards from Fort Jackson on the second day. six schooners on the left bank were moved over to the right. All of them were moored to the trees on shore. The mortars threw shells of 255 pounds. As Fort Jackson ‘was hidden from them, the firing had to be by computed alm. Six days and nights the mor- tars threw shells at the fort. Nearly 6,000 shells Were thrown by them in those six days. Four- teen men were killed and nine wounded by the bombardment. A good deal ot damage Was done to the buildings inside the fort, but at Mobile. Starting with seventeen wooden vessels, he had passed with all but three of them, against the swt current of a river but half a mile wide, between two powerful earth- works which had long been prepared for him, his course impeded by blazing rafts, and im- mediately thereafter had met the enemy’s fleet of fifteen vessels, two of them iron-clad, and either captured or destroyed every one of them, And all this with the less of but one ship from his own squadron. FARRAGUT GOES U! THE RIVER ON BUSINESS, On the afternoon of April 26th Farragut went up the river to capture ihe two forts at Carroll- ton, eight miles above New Orleans. He found the works deserted, the guns spiked, and the cartages burning. He had sent several vessels up to take possession of Baton Rouge and Nat- cnez, Farragut was next ordered by the de- Partment to “clear the river through.” He Teached Vicksburg in his flagship, the Hartford, without accident save going aground one night, He did not like his commission. He wante TO ATTsCK MOBILE AT ONCE, taking advantage of the panic which his recent successes had wrought. A small military force followed Farragut in transporis. He’ did not make the contemplated attack on Vicksburg at this time because there was no chance, in the condition of his fleet, of doing anything so long as the enemy were tn such force, having at their command 30,000 men within an hour by rail- road. It was impossible for the troops in the transportggo land; but the government seemed determined to open the river ,brough at every hazard. He was ordered to ceI¥ together ail his available vessels, Including Porter's mortara, and PROCEED TO VICKSEURG. Generali Butler now sent six regiments and two batteries, In a short time a fleet of steamers was wending Its wey to Vicksburg. The mortars were placed in position and began firing on the 26th of June. ‘Tne range, how- ever, was defective; they were moved up closer. At4o’clock on the morning of the 2sth they opened in earnest. The veszels which took art in this engagement were the Hartford, ichmond, Brooklyn, Iroquois, Onelda, Wissa- hicken, Sclota, Winona, Pinola, Kennebec, and Porter’s gunboats. In addition, there were the mortar boats. The ‘leet got under way in tl early morning about 5 o'clock and steamed up tn double line of sailing. The Richmond, Hart- ford and Brooklyn, the three it vessels, were nearest the rebel batterles. Porter with his gunboats came up and opened a very tnter- esting fire upon the enemy, while the mortars nassee next went at the Brooklyn, and passed within two hundred feet of her, pouring in a broadside that went right through the ship, and did great damage. Next the Tennessee paid her respects to the Richmond, but her shot passed over her. She also missed the Lacka- Wanna. The Monongahela tried to ram the Tennessee, but the two collided at acute an- gies. The Oneida had been crippled early in lhe fight, but the Tennessee broadsides in rapid succession. The ram then returned to her anchorage under the guns of Fort Morgan. As soon as the forts were clear of, Farragut turned his attention to the rebel gunboats. ee he either drove away or dis- eet then came to anchor three miles up the bay, with anchors hove short. The ram Tennessee was seen steaming directly for the flagship. The Monongahela was under way at the tlme, and dashed for her at full speed. She struck obiiquely. The Tennessee's guns plerced her through and through, while the shot from the Monongahela rolica harm- lessly down her sloping six-inch sides. Tne Lackawanna next went for the rebel ram, but She suffered the most. Her bow was stove in, abled. The fi and the ram received but a slight shock. THE STURDY HARTFORD next took the aggressive, and following in the wake of the Lackawanna struck the ram a fearful blow and poured in a broadside, but with no effect whatever. In making this attack on the ram Farragut had changed his position While the tleet was entering the bay he When the ram made her attack afterthe Hartford had passed the batteries he returned to the poop deck, When she was about toram the Tenness2e ho took up his position in the port mizzen rigging, 2.

In the summer of isé7, Farragut, having been given command of the European Squadron, sailed from New York inthe Frank- lin, Thus, after an interval of 40 years, the midshipman of eighteen returned to European waters bearing the highest naval rank that his country could confer. He was received with distinction by the crowned heads of Europe, reviewed the iron-clad fleets of Kogiaud, Russia and France, and studied the apparatus of the dock-yards and arsenals. He looked upon these honors as than to himse¥; considered that the duty of oa was required of him by hisrank, and in receptions went to the full his income. At the same ume he never for a moment lost sight of his duties as the commander of asquad- ron and servant of his country, Not a burbor was visited where he aid not observe critically its chances for defence by sea or land. “Who knows.” said he, “but that my services may be needed here sonie day?” . He was received in Ruasia with the strongest tokens of friendship. He dined with and aiter- wards entertained on his vessel the Grand Duke Constantine. On August 30tn he viewed the exercises of the Russian iron-clad fleet at Trang- sund Roads. In the evening the vessels of the Russian squadron were brilliantly illuminated.
