At last Grant was on the right track. His
base was at Grand Gulf McPherson's corps
was at HankinSon's Ferry, on the Big Black,
while Netherlands was at Willow Spring, a
few miles east OF Grand Gulf. The army
waited there three days for Sherman, who
with his corps had been sent for from above.
Pemberton called urgently now for re-en-
force1nents for Vicksburg. Walkers brigade,
with that of Gist, was sent him from South
Carolina

sec. All told, in the early part Of May,
Pemberton had at Vicksburg and Jackson
b0,00o men, Grant not many more.
The railway crossed ths Big Black be-
tween Vicksburg and Jackson Part of the
Confederate army was at jackson, part at
Vlcksburg. Grants plan Of campaign was
to work carefully along the east bank Of Big
Black river till he reached the railway,
then, taking sudden possession Of Edwards
Station, just east OF the Big Black, he would
be between the two parts of the Confederate
army. Then he would be able to beat the
enemy in detail"

GRAND GULF AND PORT GIBSON.

So many run1ors were afoat in this part Of
TIE Confederacy during the last days OF
April about Grierson and his raiders, that
Pemberton was obliged to send troops from
the vicinity of Vicksburg and Grand Gulf in
all directions after him. This aided in draw
ing attention from Grants movements at
Grand Gulf
April 20, the great day Of attack came.
Porter, with six gunboats, led the advance.
Behind him, and out Of range above, were
the land forces, loaded upon steamboats,, fat
boats, scows and all manner of water We

Porter opened tremendous cannonade on
the Grand Gulf batteries and kept it up from

teries were silenced for the time, but Porters
loss, though small, was greater than that of
the Confederates. The flagship Benton lost

At 2 in the afternoon, Porter drew off his
feet. McClernand landed his corps at Hard

The second part of the Port Gibson fight
took place in the afternoon Carr,s and
Hovey's divisions advanced after capturing
the ridge, and engaged in hot fight with
Baldwin, who held out a full hour and a
half. Then reinforcement FROM A J.
Smiths division came to strengthen Eoveys

st sunset Baldwin retreaJed toward Grand
Gulf, burning the bridge over Bayou Pierre,

Meantime, on the extreme Federal right,
Gen. Bowen had endeavored to break the
Union line. He had with him Gen Cockrell
and two regiments. But Hovey enfiladed
the advancing regiments from q ridge, Bur-
bridge advanced with re-enfcrcements and
Cocirel soon fell back TO Baldwin.
The only Confederate resistance remaining
was that of Tracy on the right, opposed by
the Federal left under Osterhaus.

federate right flank and Osterhaus began

Under this CALLING FIRE the Confederates
gave way. Gen. Tracy was killed at the
head of his brigade. Gen. Green then took
