its share Of the glory. The siege and capture
OF lsana No 10 has, take it altogether, proved
a wonderful achievement. On Sunday, the 10th
day of last month, Com. Foota commenced his
attack upon the ra5cl Qualifications. 0nthe 6tn
day Of April, ust three weeks after the opening
OF his batteucs, the Island surrendered. Scarcely
a man of his force has been killed or wounded
in all that time, and the only consolation tnat
the rebels can possibly eztraei from their defeat
is, that their stonda. that point compelled US 70
make pause Of twenty days in the expedition
down the Mississippi rao rebels saved nothing
except some portion Of their troops. Their loss
IN ordnance stores and munitions of war is i'm
mense
Com. Foote has moved cautiously and delib
erately in every step Of this siege. At first the
public were much disappointed because tie
brlliancy, dash, and love Of close quarters dis
played by the gallant Commodore in his previous
battles, had led the public to expect that he
would rush Immediately upon the rebel batteries.
Fo0te had two reasons for not doing this the
danger that il might not be successful and the
damage that his boats must sustain, even if the
onset were victorious. lie caused a canal or
channel to be made through the swamp on the
Missouri shore, and through that sent to New
Madrid transports and barges. Two Of his
gunboats ruu She blockade OF the Island in spite
Of the rebel batteries When he had accom-.
plishej hes. enterprises, the rebels Were at his
mercy. And they understood it as soon rs be,
aad lmmeJitJ4y evacuated their batteries on the
Tennessee sIore and made such efforts as they
could to ire Pc from General Pope's command
who gave t."A little spare time, and bagged
5000 o. more @. them in spite Of their speed
