of the fleet will so assimilate to the tac-
 tics of the battlefield that no naval of
 flcer abreast of the age can afford to
 think aught that pertains to the art of
 war foreign to him.
 The artillery officer who aspires to
 plan and direct the defense of harbor
 should have practical acquaintance
 with those floating auxiliaries which,
 according to General Abbott, must be
 our main reliance in the case of city
 situated as San Francisco Is. That we
 and the navy should work heartily and
 efficiently together each must know ex-
 aotly what the other proposes to do and
 is capable of doing. In reading the Confederate account of the capture of New Orleans, one is struck with the mutual recriminations between the offi- cers in command of the forts which de- tended the city and those who com
 manded the vessels and floating batter ies which were to assist them. The one would demand what the other alleged to be utterly unreasonable and with probably equal zeal and equal gallan- try on both sides, ignorance and want of concert neutralized all attempts ma terially to assist each other, and left
 each endeavoring to show that the loss
 of the great river was due to the short- comings of the other. Our experience
 was more purely negative. For where
 their attempts at combined action were lamentably faulty, We rarely attempt ed it at all In the five different att
 tacks upon Charleston 1t never seemed
 to have occurred to try the one which offered distinct chances of success, the line of Stono Inlet with a strong co-op-
 erating naval force. It is hardly cor rect to call the Red River campaign a case of combined attack. The plan was for Banks to advance by land, while Porter was to cooperate with his ves- sells by way of the Red river The only combination which took place was the | unlucky combination of the energy and ability of Dick Taylor on the one side | with the ignorant obstinacy of Banks | on the other, which almost caused Por- | ter to lose his fleet.
