edge Of the bluffs. These bluffs form natural
Psrspets for batteries, and command a view of
the Mississippi river for six miles each way
BY sIencing whatever guns may be placed on
the Island, irOn-clad boats, in the present
condition Of the lower Mississippi, might enter
the northern mouth Of the Hatchie out of
range Of Fort Randolph. The town of Ran
dolph, near which the fort stands, consists of
half dozen or 80 dilapidated frame houses, and
Is approached in the rear by several good
roads, but the country behind il being full of
raVines and gorges Is capable Of being fortified
to an almost indefinite extent The position,
however, Is OF no manner Of use or benefit, ex-
cept to dispute the navigation of the river. It
has no railroad communie alton. and AZ AN srmv
stationed there would have to depend on the
river exclusively for the transportation of sup
plies, Ii would not require long to starve il out
So Gen. Polk may take his choice. III he
concentrates at Randolph, the capture of
Memphis win be 90 much the easier III he
falls back on Memphis, that much more terri
tory Is reclaimed to Federal authority"
