tended 10 take all his force against
Pemberton, and Sherman Joined him
about the time his infantry crossed the
Tallahatchie.
Grant and Sherman In Council.
There were weighty reasons against
a divided movement upon Vicksburg
over the land and water routes. The
COnfederates held interior lines and
could easily use the same troops to
fight Grants column in Mississippi and
the one going down the river. while
these columns could only support each
other by the long course back 10 Mem
phis aud then TO the point Of danger
many days travel to the front. See
ing, however, that the war department
was firm In its purpose to make an at
tack down the river, even though
Grant should go ahead on the course
he had adopted overland. that general
called Sherman into his councils, and
the result was that Sherman and not
Grant became the leader in the first
formidable attack upon the fortifica-
tons of Vicksburg.
After considerable teegraphing with
! Washington, Grant was ordered to
have 10000 troops at Memphis for an
attack down the river. A large part OF
/ these troops was to be new regiments.
/ and II was known that General j. A.
| McClernand, then stationed in Illinois.
/ was raising men for the purpose Of an
[ expedition down the river. McCler-
/ nand was Of higher rank than Sherman
and had authority from the president
| and secretary of war to command the
! river expedition independent of Grant
In order to forestaIl McClernand
| Grant, who finally got authority to
| either lead the troops he was to send
with the expedition down the river in
/ person or appoint another to the task
| chose Sherman. Sherman's instructions
] were to take one OF his own divisions
/ ard the troops Of General 8 r. Curtis
then at Memphis. and proceed at once
down the Mississippi and. with the aid
( Of Porter's feet OF gunboats, reduce
the Confederate fortress. 1t was I'm.
derstood between Grant and Sherman
that, in case Pemberton refused to
stand for battle against Grants col
umn and marched back to Vicksburg tC
checkmate Sherman. Grant would fol

sitiOn to attack the Confederate rear
while Sherman engaged on the front.

1t was expected that Pembertor
would look first to the safety of Yicks
burg. for that was the problem set be
fore him. Shermsn's force was insig
nificant as compared with all that Penn
berton could marshal against him il b.
chose to ignore Grant. But il Grant
could keep Pemberton away from
Vicksburg the task would be easy. FOL
the actual garrison Of the Yicksburs
fortress at the tine was only about
5000 men.

essary, Mayor Schriver asked that we

Commissioner Reynolds offered a
resolution that
Whereas, the matter of the ordi-
nance creating the Office of superin-
tcndent of waterworks and filtration

Whereas, there are many citizens of
Rock Island who desire to be present
when the matter is discussed and acted
upon by this council, and
Whereas, many OF such citizens are
prevented by reason of their daily en-
pigment and occupation from being
| present at this time, but desire to be
present, and would be present if the
matter were taken up in the evening,
Therefore, be it resolved, that the
consideration of the said ordinance

that when this council adjourns. it

/ Which resolution was properly sec
opded.
B. D. Connolly, one of the repre-,
sentatives came forward to address
the council and presented a resolution
adopted by the Fifty Thousand club
at a meeting held Nov. %, 1912
Commissioner Reynolds arose to q
point of order, asking that as his res
olution was before the council, the

there would by just so much weaken
the true defenders Of Vicksburg AS
the matter stood Pemberton was call
ing upon the authorities at Richmond
for re-enfOrcements to cope with
Grant. He asked that troops be sent
him from the army of General Brax-
ton Bragg In central Tennessee and
from the force in Arkansas under Gen
eral T. c. Hindman.
Grant controlled in the limits of his
department $4,000 troops. His move
ment southwark was three times check
ed by orders from the war department,
which favored the expedition down the
river He was finally given discretion
IN the case, but cautioned not to go

Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1912-12-05

By Captain GEO. L KILn1ER. Late U. s.V.
AfOV. %, 1852, General Wash
N burns Federal cavalry dashed
lN into the town Of Grenada,
Miss, in the rear of the Con-
federate army guarding vicksburg on
the north. At that date the Confed-
crates, led by General J. c. Pemberton,
who afterward became the stubborn
defender Of Yicksburg, held a position
on the south bank of the Tallahatchie
river, forty miles north Of Grenada.
The troops were part Of the regular
garrison Of Vicksburg, who had moved
out Of the Notifications to meet and op-
pose the march OF General L. S. Grant
southwark on the overland campaign
against the noted Mississippi strong
hold, which was set on foot In the
early part of the month.
The purpose Of Washburn's dash was
to destroy the railroad bedind Penn
berton, but he failed to accomplish
that However, the raid showed Penn
berton the weakness OF his position
Washburn had ridden in from the
northwest coming from Helena, and
was acting independent OF Grant
Three days after Washburn's blow
Grants advance cavalry crossed the
Tallahatchie above Pemberton's posi-
ton, and these two movements, with the
prompt crossing over Of two columns
Of Grants infantry, caused Pemberton
TO retire southwark toward the Yalla-
bushR.
A Conflict In Plans.
The movement of Grant toward
Vicksburg lacked rapidly for two rea-
sons He had to repair the railroads
and the bridges as he advanced south
ward for the purpose OF keeping up
rail communication with his base in
Kentucky and with Memphis, on the
Mississippi, which was a rendezvous
for troops sent 10 REINFORCE the army
in the field.
For another thing, Grants own sta tus
was not clearly outlined He had re-
Gently been appointed 20 the command
OF the department Of Tennessee and
supposed that he would control all the
troops operating against Vicksburg.
But while the troops In several col
umns were moving toward the point OF
concentration for attack on Pemberton
the war department at Washington
prepared a plan for an attack down
the Mississippi river from Memphis
and asked Grant to spare troops for
the purpose. He had committed him
self 20 the overland movement. In or
der 10 insure supplies for the troops
all the provisions Of the country, and
these We're In abundance, had been
gathered into the stores. Grant be-
heved that II necessary the army could
live Off the country it passed through
on a lengthy campaign.
For some weeks. or all through the
month Of November, while the Fed.
erals were crossing from Tennessee
into Mississippi. the outposts of both
armies had frequently met in skirmish
es. and General Pemberton was kept
informed OF the movements OF the en-
envy as well as the strength OF his
foe. Pemberton's headquarters were

Pemberton's urgent call for more
troops to hold Vicksburg against Grant
was an evidence that he had little con-
hdence in his ability to guard the i'm
mediate fortress and also cover the
large territory adjacent and lying ex-
posed TO the Federal columns. But he
did not give up the task of warding OF
the threatened blow. While Grant was
planning and making dispositions the
Confederate cavslryman Forrest gath
cred his rough riders in west Tennes-
sess for a dash upon the Mississippi
Central railroad, upon which Grant de-
pended for communications with his
main base in Kentucky. Forrest had
come from Bragg's camp in east Ten
nessee. Bragg could spare no infantry
to REINFORCE Pemberton, but he prompt
" sent what aid he could in the shape
Of a raiding cavalcade.
Grants army supplies for the Mis-
sissippi campaign had to be drawn
from Columbus, Ky, over the Aissis-
sippi Central. This long line of com
munication was guarded by soldiers
stationed in forts at Bolivar, Jackson
and Humboldt, west Tennessee, and
in blockhouses at all the river cross
ings. At important points east Of the
line there were also strong garrisons
to offer defense against attacks from
east Tennessee, where the Cenfeder-
ates were in force
