ope made haste to descend the Mississippi, in order to take advantage of his success to occupy the course of the river as far as practicable. On the 14th of April, his army embarked on transports, and, escorted by the gun-boats, arrived before Fort Pillow; he had thus gained one hundred and fifty kilometres in a direct line, and nearly two hundred and fifty, following the windings of the Mississippi. Fort Pillow, which acquired such a fatal notoriety by the massacre of its negro garrison in 1864, was situated on the left bank, only a few kilometres above Memphis, covering both that important city and the left wing of the Confederates. Built on a high bluff, it presented a favorable position for stopping the Federal gun-boats. The latter tried in vain to bombard it. Pope landed his troops to invest the place; but as the operation threatened to be long protracted, Halleck ordered him to rejoin him. Leaving two regiments to assist the fleet, in protecting that portion of the river whi

xact position of each, so that the delay in the transmission of that order is not to be wondered at. On the other hand, Pope, in his anxiety to prove that Porter's inaction had permitted the enemy to concentrate all his forces upon that portion of his line which was defended by Jackson, quotes the official report of the latter. But he has made a mistake in the dates, as we have ascertained by examining a collection of Confederate reports on the campaigns of Virginia, published in Richmond in 1864 (vol. II., p. 96); the quotation he produces has reference to the 30th of August, and not the 29th. This explanation will suffice to show how important it is to be circumspect in examining the various documents that have been published on both sides if one wishes to arrive at the exact truth. Note E, page 367. The part played by Burnside at the battle of Antietam has been the subject of a long and heated discussion in the North. General Mc-Clellan in his excellent report has severely
