d, I replied March twenty-seventh, viz: General Foster's plan of defense, on my arrival (in August), depended upon the presence of a goodly number of gunboats, which should command the interior of his flank-works, Stephenson, Anderson, and Spinola, and sweep the ground in form of the Cremaillere line, and also on the other side of the Trent, about Amory and Gaston. Upon calling his attention to the uncertain nature of the Naval defences, he assured me that he would send six army gunboats materially reduced, as well as the land force, and the expected army boats did not arrive. Under these circumstances, I proposed a small work (Fort Chase) across the river, the strengthening of Anderson, and the short face on the water side of Spinola.

views of those who controlled the war-councils at Washington; and the President, who had for the time being taken into his own hands the functions of general-in-chief, gave one constant mot d'ordre—take Yorktown, —a command that reminds one of the story in Spanish history which runs in this wise: When the reports of these matters reached Philip IV., he was disposed to entertain some prejudice against his general, and took on himself to give his own direction for the war, without consulting Spinola. His majesty directed that Breda should be besieged, and when it was represented that it was needful to make many preparations for an operation of that magnitude, the king sat down and wrote this laconic order to his general: Marquis, take Breda. I, the King (Yo, el Rey). If Yorktown was at length taken without a combat and without blood, it was not without severe and exhausting labors in the siege. The victory, though apparently barren, was really more substantial than it seemed; and

th Carolina. General Lee was trying to reinforce for his spring campaign. General Beauregard was asking for aid at Charleston, and the Richmond authorities were anxious to strengthen the Western armies. Hence the campaign in North Carolina was again reduced to defensive issues, and the troops moved to bigger fields. During the siege at Washington there was some spirited fighting around the town, and General Pettigrew at Blount's mills repulsed, after a sharp attack, a column under General Spinola as it was marching to the relief of Washington. On the 22d of May, Lee's Federal brigade, one regiment of Pennsylvania troops, seven pieces of artillery, and three companies of cavalry, surprised the Fifty-sixth and Twenty-fifth North Carolina regiments at Gum Swamp, below Kinston. These regiments were broken and scattered, and lost 165 prisoners; but rallied and sup-ported by some companies of the Forty-ninth regiment, the Twenty-seventh regiment and other troops, attacked the Fede
