London, Dec. 3. Official and un-
official advices from the first line con-

his regret he learned that all available

Red river hunt, which, in justice to
history, it should be said. neither Gen

whether the hunt went well or i'll the

While Sherman was on his New Or

between him and Grant.
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1914-03-13
Sherman responded as follows:


Dear General-I nave your more tha
kline and characteristic letter of the 4th
and will send a copy of 1t to Mcpherson
at once. You do yourself injustice and
us too much honor in assigning to US so
large a share of the merits which have
led to your high Advancement. 49,
You are now Washington's legitimate
successor and occupy a position of almost
dangerous elevation, but if you can con-
tinue as heretofore to be yourself, sim
pie, honest and unpretend.ng, you will en-
joy through life the respect and love OF
friends and the homage of millions of
human beings, who will award to you a
large share for securing to them and to
their descendants a government of law
and stability. -
L believe you are as brave. patriotic and
just as the great prototype. Washington /;
as unseltish, kind hearted and honest as a
nan should be. but the chief character
istic is the simple faith in success you
have always manifested. which | can
liken to nothing else than the faith a
Christian has in his Saviour. faith
gave you victory at Shiloh and Vicksburg.
Also when you have completed your best
preparations you go into battle without
hesitation, as at Chattanooga-no doubts.

that made us act with confidence. l knew
wherever / was you thought of me and If
| got in a tight place you would come if
alive. My only doubts were as to your
knowledge of grand strategy and of books
Of science and history. but l confess YOU
common sense seems to have supplied all
this.
Now as to the future, Dc not stay in
Washington. Halleck is better qualified
than you are to stand the buffets of in
trigue and policy. Come out west. Take
to yourself the whole Mississippi valley.
Let us make it dead sure. and / tell you

Grant on Himself.

Nashville, Tenn, March 1, 1864.
Dear Sherman The bill reviving the
grade of lieutenant general in the army
has become a law. and my name has been
sent to the senat for the place. l now
receive orders to report at Washington
Immediately in person, which indicates
either a confirmation or a likelihood Of
confirmation. l start in the morning to
comply with the order, but l shall say
very distinctly on my arrival there that
l shall accept no appointment which will
require me to make hat city my head
quarters. This. however, is not what /
started to write about.
While l have been eminently successful
in this war, in at least gaining the CON
hdence of the public. no one feels more
than l how much OF this success is due
to the energy, skill and the harmonious
putting forth of that energy and skill of
those 1t has been my good fortune to
have occupying important positions under
me. There are many officers to whom
these remarks are applicable to a greater
or less degree, proportionate to their abil-
ity as soldiers, but what I want Is to ex-
press my thanks to you and Mcpherson
as the men TO whom, above all others, 1
feel indebted for whatever l nave had of
success. How far your advice and sug-
g~estions have been of assistance you
know. How far the execution of what
you to the reward | am receiving you
cannot know as well as / do. l feel all
the gratitude this letter would express.
Your friend.

General Sherman left New Orleans
March 4, and while on his way up the
Mississippi river by steamer he was
met by a staff officer with Grants let
ter and some official communications.
Reaching yicksburg in due time, he
remained there to await the results of
Grants interviews with the president
and secretary of war. He assumed
that all plans of campaign might be
changed owing to Grants new posi-
ton. Within a few days he was off,

from Washington. and his orders con-
templated IL reinforcement from Sher-
mans army of 10000 men.
Thus strengthened, Banks was ex-
pected to drive the C~onfederates from
the Red river region and penetrate into
Texas. AS conveys to the ships which
were to transport the land troops and
also as a fighting arm Admiral D. D.
Porter was already assembling at the
mouth of Red river a fleet of heavy
and light draft warships, including
several ironclads. of Which the Essex

Sherman knew the Red river country
better than any other in the Federal
service. He had contemplated a quick,
bold movement of the kind he had exc
cuted against Meridian, Miss, in Feb
ruary and having for its objective
Shreveport, La. This point Is in the ex-
IRENE northwestern corner of the state.
close to the Texas and Arkansas bor-
ders. Learning from Banks that he
meant to lead in person, Sherman gave
up all thought Of accompanying the
troops and agreed to send a detachment
under General A. ]. Smith, who had
been with him in the Meridian move
ment. Porter's ships, the contingent
with Banks and Smiths column were
to meet at Alexandria on March II,

OF Red river from its mouth up of Con-
federates and the capture from their
hands of Alexandria.
Farragut Asks For Ironclads.
Since the fall of vicksburg in July,
1868, the general plans for pushing the
war in the southwest had included
the subjugation of Mobile. Coincident
with that. or soon to follow. would be
the taking of Atlanta, Ga, thus open
ing a line from Nashville. via Chat
tanooga, to the eastern gulf. The Mo
bile project was a fayorite one with
Grant. and of that fact Sherman was
aware. 1t was understood that the
main force with Banks would eventu-
ally turn from its Red river expedition
to attack Mobile.
Meanwhile Admiral d. G.. Farragut
was off Mobile planning the naval end
of the proposed campaign. The admiral
knew that the C~onfederates were build
ing powerful ironclads at Mobile, and
he wanted to force an entrance to
Mobile bay and subjugate the forts
guarding the harbor and city before
the new vessels could come to their
defense. BE had nothing better at
hand than wooden ships and asked
again and again for i~ronclads. finally

Fight at Yazoo City.

At the end of February, when
Smiths discounted cavalry was back
in Memphis and Sherman's column
disbanded and It's leader on the way to
New Orleans, the advance of the va
o expedition was near Grenada.
Here Forrest was encountered. But it
was too late. Sherman and Smith had
been baHied. and the great raider
started north to seek bigger game in
Tennessee and Kentucky.
Coates was ordered to move back to
Yazoo City and hold the town. His
troops landed IN the 2Sth, just as the
troopers Of Ross arrived to man some
empty works which had served the
Confederates during the V~icksburg
campaign. Coates defeated Ross and
seized two redoubts close to the town.
He had about 600 men ashore and esti-
mated his foe, whom he believed to be
Forrest, at more than double that
number.
The largest redoubt was occupied by
the Eleventh Illinois, commanded by
Major George G. Mckee. Ross de-
manded the surrender on March 4, tell
ing Mckee that he had him surround
ed with superior numbers and retreat
would be impossible. His flag of truce
intimated verbally that II the Confed-
crates were compelled to charge the
works no quarter would be given to
Federal survivors.
Mckee defed the summons and chal-
lenged Ross to put his threat into

With the Eighth Louisiana negro
troops Coates ussailed the flank of

held Yazoo City until ordered back to

scheduled to meet Sherman by the
middle of February. Forrest defeated
that junction.
In order to detain Forrest in the
northern central section of the state a
naval expedition moved from Vicks,
burg up the Yazoo river. The ieet was
commanded by Captain e. X. owen of
the ironclad Louisville. Several trans
ports carried a detachment of troops
commanded by Colonel j. II. Coates of
the Eleventh Illinois. Proceeding slow
~ at the time when the column with
Sherman and Smiths cavalry were
forging toward Meridian, Coates fought
off opposition by landing his troops
whenever attack was made.
Opposition came from cavalry which
planted batteries at convenient points
and shelled the ships or working par
ties engaged clearing the channel of
Instructions. AS the feet proceeded
the cavalry became more numerous.
and Coates believed that he was en-
gaging Forrest according to Sherman's
plan. 1t later ~transpired, however,
that the cavalry was the brigade of
General L. S. Ross and not part of
Forests command.
