headquarters. Magruder in his official
report credited Smith with having
killed Wainwright in honorable com
bat. Some years later it was asserted
publicly that Smith had cut down the
gallant Federal in cold blood after sur

declaring that he boarded the ship i'll

tender pathos. One incident of the
after scenes was the meeting of Lieu

side of Wainwright, and his father,
Major Lea of Magruder's staff Learn

The fate of Commander Renshaw
was at once pathetic and tragic. His
flagship Westfield was aground and
could not move up to succor the Har-
riet Lane. When all was over, the
Confederates sent out a truceboat to
say that if he would surrender he
might remove his people from the har-
Dor. Spurning the Offer he sent his
crew away in boats and remained with
his officers to set the Westfield on fire.
So rapidly did the flames spread that
they reached the magazine and the
ship was torn into a thousand pieces
In few minutes. Renshaw had Just
boarded his yawl alongside the doomed
vessel and was of course DESTROYED by
the explosion.

piece exploded instantly, killing Weir
and wounding Captain Schneider, who
stood alongside.
Meanwhile the Bayou City's consort,
the Neptune, closed with the Lane and
had her bow stove in the encounter
At the same time shot from the Lane
cut through her hull, and she dropped
away and sank. After the explosion of
her gun the Bayou City attempted to
ram the Lane, but missed the mark.
In second dash she struck the Lane
aft of the wheelhouse running her
bow so far under the gunwale that
there was no backing off.
While the vessels stuck together the
fighting force of the Bayou City poured
terrific fusillade of bullets upon the
decks of the Lane from their cotton
bale ramparts. After a few minutes
of slaughter Captain Leon Smith, who
led the naval end of Magruder's expedi-
ton, leaped aboard the Lane, followed
by his men, Commander Wainwright
and Lieutenant Lea stood on the CORY
deck among their falling sailors, trying
to rally strength for resistance. Some
of the Federal sailors hoisted a white
flag, but when Wainwright was called
upon to surrender he refused and was
cut down after twenty minutes des
perate battle by sword cut given, it
was believed by Smith himself. Lea
was also cut down with a mortal wound.

I'm New Years day, 1868, the
dashing Confederate general,
" prince" Magruder, effected the
recapture of the city of Calves
ton from the Federal forces For two
months preceding that date Command
er w. B. Renshaw, U. S. n, had held
the city under menace of the guns of
his little f1otilla, consisting of the Har-
riet Lane, Owasco and Clifton and the
ironclad Westfield. all lying in the
channel off Kuhn's wharf, with an
auxiliary of 800 soldiers bivouacked on
the wharf and protected on the land
side by chasm in the flooring where
the planks had been piled up to form Il
parapet.
With the exception of the 800 soldiers
who belonged to the Forty-second Mas
sachusetts, there had been no attempt
during Federal control to garrison the
city. Old Confederate earthworks that
had been speedily evacuated when Rem
shaw's vessels dashed into view on the
original attack remained undisturbed,
and the former occupants of the works
had only retired out of range of the ma
val guns.
Magruder chose New Years morning
to spring an attack on the foe by land
and water, as sudden and as bold as
that of Renshaw when he captured the
place He improvised a naval force
from river boats. the most formidable
being the cotton clad packets Neptune
and Bayou City. During the night of

TREES on TIE RoADsIDEs.

While the willow hedge is nuisance
along the public highway and should
be removed, it does not follow that
trees should not be grown by the road
side when the proper varieties are Sc
lected and properly set out. A row on
each side Of the highway of maple,
white ash, water elm. larch, spruce or
pine trees set thirty-two feet apart and
trimmed up 50 that the wind may
sweep through and not pile the road
with snowdrifts is an entirely practi-
cal and economic way of using the
roadsides. besides adding greatly to the
beauty Of the landscape and tempering
the force Of the winds.

the 31st of December he massed col
umn of artillery and infantry in front
of the wharf. with cannon trained upon
the Harriet Lane and the camp of the
Massachusetts men.
The Confederate signal gun was
fired at a. IN. The gunners of the
Harriet Lane, standing ready, answer
ed with shower of grape, which the
Owasco quickly followed up. The fu
sillade drove the Magruder's gunners
from their places. Meanwhile stirring
scenes We're enacted at the wharf. The
enemy's movements had been so
stealthy that the officer of the Massa-
chusetts picket made his nightly rounds
without discovering anything unusual
in front, although Magruders guns
were pushed up within a stones throw
of the parapet. The planks had been
removed from the inshore end of the
wharf, leaving chasm fifty feet wide.
Back of this yawning gap and the
parapet, the Massachusetts men quick
" formed for battle
Renshaw's ships, having been an
chored with the emergency in view,
swept the whole shore on the land side
of the ditch with canister, While the
little band on the wharf poured in a
terrible shower of bullets. But in the
face of that blasting fire column of
volunteer Confederate stormers, under
Colonel Cook attempted to carry the
wharf. The scaling ladders which had
been brought up proved too short to
span the gap, and they began to bridge
the open space by planks, which had
been provided on shore. This maneu-
yer was cut short by the murderous
fire of the Massachusetts men. The
Confederate gunners in front of the
wharf were also driven from their
pieces. Magruder's land attack, de-
spite its boldness and the heroism of
his soldiers, could not recover the city.
The force to be reckonrd with was
Renshaw's guns
From fighting the enemy ON land the
men of the Harriet Lane were called
to meet an attack at close quarters
alongside the Lane. and while their
rifiemen swept her decks with bullets
the Bayou City riddled her wooden
sides with thirty-two pound shots. One
missile from the little cotton clad stove
an immense hole in the Lane behind
her wheel. Seeing that good shot
had been made, Captain Weir of the
Bayou City seized the lanyard of the
gun nearest him and called out, Here
goes for a New Years PRESENT." The
