gether, 5at Memphis papers reesissd
since corroborate the fact Of battery
having been established st Gaines Bend
but the story given there j. also rather
confused, as Il asserts that the battery
numbered ten guns, and get xas driven
away or silenced By the Curiew, which
Is not q gunbOat. and probably had no
more than two guns of small ealiber.
