' This,1 although a difficult and hazardous undertaking, seemed the only alternative, , and, to most, a i hopeless one.

The object ot this expedition was twofold; first, two cut off rebel communications v ith Vickshurg, and tecond, to ascertain whether the interior of Mississippi or Louisiana w;is defended. , It proved a decided success, and as soon as Colonel Grierson had. proceoded sufficiently to justity the measure,, Gen Grant commenced crossing his forces over the river at Bruinsburg, April 80th, in transports, which had run by the batteries. Then commerced the triumphal march and wonderful succession tf victories 'wliich have shed so tuneli luster npon nr arms.
