parts of his own command. Holly Springs
was captured while the troops were in their
beds, for which the commanding officer of the
post was dismissed the service. For over
week Grant had no communication with the

was learned the secret of how an army may

For nearly two months Grant disciplined
his troops in the district OF Cairo. In Janu-
ary, 1862, sby order of Gen. Halleck, he moved
a force oflG. coo men, under McClernand. from
Cairo and Birds Point towards Mayfield and
Murray, in West kentucky, and sent two
br:yades threatening Co,prn,ns and TIE Con-
Tolerate line between thatani Bowling Green.
There was no fighting, but the object Of the
movement was accomplished.
He longed to take Forts Henry and Doael-
son, but was silenced when he broached the
subject TO Halleck. Not till the I'd of Feb
ruary was be permitted to leave Cairo with
that intention. With 1900 men on trans
ports, accompanied by Admiral Foote with
seven gunboats, he started, landing at Bailey's
ferry. on the east bank. three miles below

a half; fire from the gunboats on the 9th. the

but Haleck's orders to Grant were always Of
a defensive and not aggressive character.
Fort Donelson, high on its range of hills,
encircled by a formidable abatis and gar
r;soned by 81. 600 men, was one Of the greatest
strongholds of the enemy. Its Notifications

the men were without blankets and with in

MlSTReATED BY HAllECK.

Immediately following the battle of Shiloh
rumors flooded the country prejudicial to
Grant, and in all operations in the theater Of
war he was ignored for the next two months.
His situation was regarded by the army as
one Of disgrace, and was doubtless the most
disagreeable period in his entire career. He
tells the story in the following words:
Shortly after the battle OF Shiloh had been fought
G n. Halleck moved his headquarters TO Pfttsburg
Landing, and assumed command Of the troops I'm the
field. Although neat to him In rank. and nomnal.y
In command OF my own district and army. was ig-

made the hours Of darkness terrible. The
next day re-enforcements arrived, and for
hours an irregular bre of shsrIshooters, with
occasional discharges of artillery, was kept
UP. In the afternoon six gunboats, in com
mand of Footc, attacked the fort at 400 yards
and were woTsted. Another night Of cold,
danger and SUFFERING for the troops, Grant
then having 1000 iaen.
At dawn ON the 18th the memorable siege
Of Fort Donelson was begun in earnest, the
eneiay coming out of his works and attacking
the Federal line ON the right. McClernand.
Macarthur and Lew Wallace were engaged.
Macarthur giving way with heavy loss, Nc
Clernand aLd Wallace repaying IT, The Con
federates however. failed 10 make their way
through the Federal lines, and were retiring
but the Federal troops were discouraged and
dis0rdere1. There was lull. Grant was
abs mt at the flagship when the attack oc-
Cured.
Returning TO his headquarters and apprised
OF the eveEts Of the morning, lie ordered the
troops that had not been engaged 10 make an
immediate assault. The aSsaulting column
was led by c. +. Smith. Up, up the steer
hill, under the fierce fire of the enemy, went
the Federal column, inside the intrenchmepts
while McC,eTnand and Wallace supported
Smith. An hour and half l-ore of daylight
would have given Grant the victory, but
darkness overlook lin. The next morning
Buckner sent 10 ask his terms, while Floyd
and Pillow escaped across the river with as
many troops as two steamers could carry,
deserting the remainder Of their troops.
Grant replied: mo terms except uncondi-
tio.al and immediate surrender can be ac-
copied. Ipropose 10 move immediately upon
your works" The terms were complied with,
and the Stars and Stripes soon huttered over
Fort Uonelson.

COLONEL AND BRIeApIeR GENERAL.

Grant renSined at Springfield and helped
to organize the volunteer troops of the state.
After five weeks of this work, which his mil
itary education had specially fitted him for,
Gov. Yates offered him the Twenty-frst regi-
ment of Illinois infantry. Before receiving
his commission as colonel he went 10 Cinciu-
natl TO sec Maj j-Gen. Mcclellan, then in COM
mand of Ohio volunteers. He had known
Mcclellan in the old army, and hoped he
might offer him place on his staff. Twice
he went to headquarters without finding Me
Clellan, and then returned 10 Illinois without
having mentioned his errand To any one. He
took command of his regiment early in June
and marched TO Missouri Reporting 20 Bri..
Gen. Pope, he was stationed at Mexico, about
80 miles north of the Missouri river. The
president commissioned him brigadier general
OF volunteers in August, promotion he first
heard of through the newspapers. AT this
time Maj. Gen. Fremont was in command OF
the states and territories known as the West
ern Department. He transferred Grant 10

the command of the district of Southeast Mis-
souri,, with headquarters at Caro-.
