TUESDAY. FEBRUA1
tant and still advancing, when the rebel fas |
came down. Instantly all WAS silence. Not q !
shot was fred after it WIS struck The rebel
GeneraI, Tughman, had flung ont a white flag; !
but Commodore Foote informed me that he |
did not see it. If he had, it would have made |
no difference, for be was determined that there |
should be no conditions when the stars and |!
stripes went up again over The soil Of Tennes- |
see.
Immediately the boarde1s of the st. Louis |
were on hand, and General Tlghman desired !
to see Commander Foote.'7 He was told that |
he must 60 on board the Cincinnati, and soon
the two commanders stood face to face. Gen.
T1ghman said that he had displayed w1ite
flag, aud desired conditions. Commodore
Foote replied that he did not see it, but that
it would have made no difference if he had.
He said, s<Your surrender must be uncondi-
tlonal, sir.'' "Wen, Commodore, if must
surrender, it is pleasure to surrender to so
brave man as yourself'' I: You do perfectly
right, sir, to surrender, for Eshou]d not, under
any circumstances" Gen. T1ghman did not
comprehend the Commodore. 1T wou1d not
have surrendered, sir" he continued, "be-
cause was fully determined to capture you
or 20 to the bottom"
Everything was surrendered -twentT-seyen
guns, all the munitions, provisions for several
months, camp cquipage for several thousand
men-and the Stars and Stripes went up over
the soil Of Tennessee with . wild, indescriba-
bic shout and hurrah. The men who had
been cool during the fight now became cx-
cited. They grasped one auother By the hand
and danced and capercd like wild men. The
fight lasted one hour and twelve minutes.
Meanwhile the troops were ftouudering in
mud over the terrible roads,; When the firing
commenced the troops were but half the dis
tancc to their assigned positions. Tic bands
had been PLAYING 10 cnliyea the march, but
when the deep toned mus12 of the cannonadc
came booming Oh their; cars, they gave
| loud cheer, and Of their owa accord broke into
doublc-qnick movement. But they were too
late to bay the fleeing rebels. If they had ar
/ rived at the appointed time, We should have
lad several Thousands Of them on our hands.
| Commodore Foote was right in his calcula-
tons, and General Grant wrong. As it was,
sixty-nine prisoners fell into our hands. Gen.
| Floyd Tilgh1uan and his statfc-Nfajor ". l..
McComien, Capt. Jesse T.ylor, Lieut.. ". Q.
Watts, Lieut., F. J. Weller, and Capt. G. R. 6,
Jones, were among them.
