ment by General Lovell at New Orleans, January 15, 1862. Converted into a war-boat, she took a bold part in the engagement near Fort Pillow, which resulted in the sinking of the Cincinnati. She arrived on the scene just as the General Bragg was disabled and boldly rammed the Federal gunboat for the second time, when a shot from the Carondelet disabled her. In the engagement with the Ellet rams off Memphis, she met the same fate as the General Bragg and the other vessels. She and the General Beauregard, while making a dash from opposite sides upon the Monarch, both missed that speedy vessel and collided with each other. The General Price was so badly injured that her captain ran her upon the Arkansas shore, to be added to the prizes won by the Ellet rams. The action put an end to the river-defense flotilla of the Confederates. Like the Federal river fleet at first, this organization was not under control of the Confederate navy, which, on the Mississippi, was commanded by Flag-Off

iant and famous attempt on the part of the Confederate naval forces in Charleston to break the blockade, when the ironclads Palmetto State and Chicora actually put out from their harbor and steamed some distance out to sea, these rams having engaged several strong Federal gunboats, capturing one and putting the others to flight. Flag-Officer Ingraham, the senior officer of the attack, was fully persuaded that he had broken the blockade, and upon his return to Charleston so reported to General Beauregard. The latter did everything in his power to force this claim upon the attention of foreign governments, for if the consuls of European nations at Charleston would have acted upon such representation, it would have been necessary for the Federal Government to have established a fresh blockade in accordance with the laws of nations. However, to put it briefly, although this intrepid exploit came as a thunderclap to the North, the great Federal armada had Commodore Gershom J. Van Brun

of action within fifteen minutes, the Federal Queen of the West, under command of Colonel Ellet, sinking the General Lovell, and in turn being rammed by the General Beauregard so hard that it was necessary to put her ashore. An accidental collision by the General Beauregard and the General Price, two Confederate vessels, put the General Beauregard and the General Price, two Confederate vessels, put the latter out of commission. The Federal ram Monarch's charge upon the Beauregard took place just as the latter had received a deadly shot from the Benton through her boiler. Only one Confederate ram, the General Van Dorn, escaped destruction. Memphis was now at the mercy of the naval force, and the river was open to the south as Beauregard took place just as the latter had received a deadly shot from the Benton through her boiler. Only one Confederate ram, the General Van Dorn, escaped destruction. Memphis was now at the mercy of the naval force, and the river was open to the south as far as Vicksburg. A terrible disaster happened on June 17th to the gunboat Mound City, which, in company with the St. Louis, Lexington, and Conestoga, had been sent up the White River to convoy troops and transports and to assist in an attack on the Confederate batteries at St. Charles, Arkansas.

he Confederate iron-clad rams Chicora and Palmetto State, built and equipped at the navy-yard in Charleston, steamed down past the forts and took the inner line of the blockading fleet by surprise. The Mercedita was captured, and the Keystone State was badly injured. As it was calm weather, the Chicora and the Palmetto State proceeded out to sea, and as the outer line of the blockading squadron was far off the coast, they came back and reported that the blockade was raised. In fact, General Beauregard attempted to bring this point before the foreign consuls at Charleston. It was on the 28th of February that the cruiser Nashville, lying up the Ogeechee River above Fort McAllister, Georgia, was destroyed by the monitor Montauk while she was waiting for a chance to get to sea. One well-directed shot from the monitor's 15-inch gun struck the Nashville fair amidships, and in a few minutes she burst into flame, and blew up. The Confederate ram Atlanta, on the 17th of June, 1863, run
