Immediately assigned to Join the Mis-
sissippi ard do duty with the West
Gulf squadron He was on the Mis-
sissippi when she took part with Far
ragut,s other vessels in forcing an en-
trance to TIE Mississippi river, and
again when the feet ran the gauntlet
OF fire from The forts below New Or
Ieans, In April, 1852. and forced the
surrender Of that city. The ship he
was in belonged TO Captain Bailey'E
division OF tba feet which attacked
Fcrt St Phflip.
The hottest fight that the Mississippi
ever engaged IN was her last one. and
this was perhaps as hot as any Of the
war. In March, 1863, the feet tried
to run by the Confederate batteries at
Port Hudson Some of the ships got
as far i,s narrow part of the chan
mel. where they met land batteries al
most muzzIe to muzzIe, and then they
were forced to retreat. The Mlssis-
sippi did not get as far as this. a
foggy day had been chosen for the at
tempt. and this Was soon made more
obscure by the smoke Of battle, and
amid this the Mississippi lost her bear
dngs and ran ashore. Her officers
found she had struck juEt under the
guns of battery in the middle of the
line of fortifcations. and one OF the
strongest OF the lot. In half an hour
$50 shots struck the vessel and she
was riddled from end to end. There

Last year in the month OF May a
splendid crop OF hay was saved on my
bottoms" and corn planted on the same
about first OF July. and in November
wheat was sown after the corn. which
has now been harvested. All three crops
were just excellent. and not very much
