AuGtion VI gun-caps, of which Pember-
ton stood in great need. 1t was quite
the fashion for daring young fellow
to get into a canoe at some place on the
Yazoo, with some thousands Of gun
caps, disguise his canoe as a log, and
float down the Mississippi on some dark
and rainy night to Vicksburg. Unques-
tionably great many succeeded in this
work, and Pemberton's need of per-
cussion caps was greatly relieved. 1t
kept the sailors on picket duty wrought
up to great vigilance, and the nights
were spent in toilsome inspection of
every stump and log that fic<red down
the breast of the broad stream.
The river between Vicksburg and
Port Hudson was held by the seven
gunboats which Porter had taken with
him when the batteries were first passed
in April, and these were patrolling the
stream and making incursions up the
Il tributaries against any advance by
Kirby Smiths forces from the West or
attempts Of Pemberton's to escape.
Above Vicksburg one gunboat was sta
toned at Haynes's Bluff, one at Chicka-
saw Bayou, one at Young's Point, one
at Milliken's Bend, one at Lake Proyi-
, dence, one at Greenville, one at Island
No. 65, and two at White River.
Other smaller and swifter boats pa
trolled the river as far as Cairo. The
guerrilla bands usually had with them
q fieldpfece to bring the transports to-
and it was desirable that a heavy gun
be near at hand to cope with this. The
line to be held was very long and the
vessels quite few for the purpose, SO
that activity and restlessness had to
make up for the shortage.

Commodore Porter had busy time

More Of Her Soldiers There Than Any Other Battle and More

This paper has been prepared in re-
sponse to the solicitation of many old
veterans Of our State. survivors Of the
regiments that participated in the bat
ties Of Nashville, in December, 1864,
who have felt that a record somewhat
more in detail than any yet furnished
should be presented of the part borne
by Minnesota troops in that important
event Of the civil war. While I have
been, myself, impressed in this behalf,

Thomas had assembled the troops as
signed him by Sherman and disposed OF
them in a manner to watch Hood s
movements and retard his advance. The
Fourth and Twenty-third Corps had
been seriously depleted in the Atlanta
campaign, and now numbered together
about $4,000 men. To this force was
added some detached bodies Of troops
that had occupied outposts in Tennessee
and Georgia, and a few new regiments
that had recently been sent to Nashville
from the North. The aggregate of the
forces under Gen. Thomas's command
at this time was much less than those

of these were not available for the i'm

There were rumors and reperts by
deserters that part CT the guns had been
taken away to be placed on other por-

reduce the tort by gun fire from the
