" on May 4, 1862, the PENN
sula campaign Of the Army
Of the Potomac took on a new phase.
The move made by the Confederate
commander General J. z Johnston
surprised his own government and the
southern people. II was expected OF
him that he would keep the Federal
army at a safe distance from Rich
mond. After abandoning his strong pc
sltion on York river he could do so
only by opposing it in open field. Nc
Clellan's base was at Fortress Monroe,
nearly 100 miles from Richmond. The
York river bounds the peninsula on
the northwest and the James on the
southeast. With either river open to
Federal warships Mcclellan could get
supplies by water as he advanced to-
ward Richmond. When the evacua-

the Federal ehip< on the upper Mis-
sissippi could sail. At that point the
Confederates had eight wooden rams.
They depended upon these ships TO
keep the vessels OF the Federal feet at
a safe distance above the fort
Daily a Federal mortar boat was
towed down the river within range Of
the fort TO throw shells at it One OF
the ironclads remained near by in Or
der to protect the mortar vessel. On
the 10th Of May the mortar boat
reached her position at a. u. The
ironclad Cincinnati was close by. At
6:35 a. N. eight Confederate rams
steamed at full speed up the river to
capture the mortar boat. This was de-
Tended for a time with great spirit by
the crew, who fired the mortar eleven
times.
Danger was signaIed to other iron
clads up the river, and the Carondelet
started Immediately TO support the
Cincinnati, the ironclads Mound City,
Pittsburg and Benton following. The
Confederate rams were led by the
General Bragg. She made for the Gin
ctnnati and was fired upon by both the
Carondelet and Mound City before she
could strike. When she struck she
knocked a great hole in the shell room
below the water line.
The Rams Spread Havoc.
At this time the Cincinnati started
to retreat; then the ram General Price
struck her again. and finally the Gen.
eral Sumter dealt her a blow which
sent her ashore in a sinking condition
Meanwhile the Carondelet forged tc
the front and opened with bow and
/ broadside guns upon the foremost
rams. Three of those had already
passed above her upstream. These
opened fire upon the iroDclad, which

ject Milroy fell bacl; TO the main camp
at Mcdowell Early on the morning
of the 9th the whole force marched

The Ram Merrimac Blown Up.
While the siege of Yorktown by the
Federal Army Of the Potomac under
General Mcclellan was in progress, in
April, 1852, the Confederates main
tained a force OF 1900 men at Nor
folk. In the language Of military men
the movement of the Army of the POto-
mac up the peninsula from Yorktown
toward Richmond turned the Con
federate position at Norfolk, and it
had to be given up. On the night of
May . the Confederates under General
Benja min Huger evacuated the place.
The year before the Federal authorities
had evacuated it after destroying a
part of the old United States navy
yard and burning several warships at
the docks.
During their year Of occupancy the
Confederates had utilized the resources
OF the navy yard. 1t was here that
the famous ironclad ram Merrimac
was constructed. She was about to see
her finish close at hand. General Huger
burned the navy yard and all the yes
sells lying there. The Merrimac at the
time was at anchor of Craney island,
about five miles distant.
She was practically blockaded by
several Federal warships, including
the Monitor, which lay in Hampton
Roads close TO the guns of Fortress
Monroe. Attempts 10 tighten the ram
so she could pass over the sand bar
at the mouth OF James river failed, and
/ she was in danger Of defeat and cap
/ ture, provided she tried to cut her way
out past the Federal ships. Her COM
mander at this time, Captain Josiah
Tatnall, wanted TO make a dash for
! freedom, but he was oyerruled by his
chief at Richmond Just before day
/ light on the 18th the torch was applied
TO the maya zines, and the pioneer iron
clad warship in American waters was
blown into a shapeless wreck by her
own people.
