1.-THE EMPRESS"
Fired upon While Ascending the Miss
isSippi River. Audubon Citizen on
Board and Witnessed the Dis
treSs That Followed

In August 1864 when John Griggs
and his brother, Richard, were COM
ing up the Mississippi from New Or
leans to st. Louis and when they had
gained landing they were suddenly
fired upon by rebel battery support
ed by long infantry force, resulting
in twenty being killed and wounded
the captains head being blown off by
shot. John NJ. Griggs of this city
was on the boat and witnessed the
tragedy. Major General Rosecrans,
commander of the department ot1
Missouri, issued the following order: =
"The General commanding the de-
partment takes great pleasure in call
ing attention of both citizens and the
army to the gallant conduct of the
officers and crew of the steamer "Em-
press" during her recent trip from
New Orleans to this port. While in
narrow and difficult part of the river,
and within musket-range of the shore
the steamer was suddenly fired upon
by heavy rebel battery, supported
by q strong body of infantry. The
firing was rapid and accurate, almost
every shot taking effect and the boat
filled with unarmed passengers, in q
moment became the scene of frantic
terror, - passengers in their panic de-
manded the surrender of the steamer
but the officers coolly remained at
their posts and brought her through
the danger, saving, by their bravery
and noble sense of duty, incalculable
suffering to those on board, and the
valuable steamer and cargo to the
government. Captain John Malloy.
the commander of the Empress. was
shot dead at his post, and, while the
commanding general deeply sympath-
ICES with the grief of the family and
friends of the deceased, he holds up
this noble example of unflinching re-
solve in the performance of duty as
one worthy of the emulation of all"
