In event Better could not to shove

wished to know if Butler oould spue
blm some of bis troops. But Uie rest
of the story we bad best let Grant give
in bis own entertaining style :
"General Barnard reported tbe poni
Uou very strong for defeotiv* purposes,
end that I oould do tbe latter with
greet security; but that General But
ter coaid not eoov* from where be was,
le co-operation, to produce say efface.
He said that tbe general occupied a
Place between tbe lames sad Appoma
ttox rivers which was of great
atntogtb, and where with an Inferior
fores he oould bold it for an lodelieUe
length of Usee against a tnperlor; but
that be could do nothing offensively.
I then asked him wby Butler could not
move out from.bis Hnes and push across
tbe Richmond and IVtersborf Railroad
to the rear and on tbe south aide of
Richmond. He replied that It wae im
practicable, because the eoemy bad
substantially the tame line across the
neck of lead that General Butler bad.
He tbea took out bis pencil and drew a
sketch of the locality, remarking tbat
the poaiUon was like e bottle and that
Butter's Una of lntrenchmeata across
tbe neck represented the cork; that tbe
enemy bad built sn equally wrong line
Immediately in front of him across tbe
aeek; end it was therefore as if Butter
wee in a bottle. lie wae perfectly safe
against aa attack; but. as Bernard ex
pressed it, the enemy had corked the
bottle aad with a small force could
bold tbe cork la Its place This (truck
me aa being very expressive of bis posi
tion, particularly whan 1 saw the hasty
sketch which General Barnard bad
drawn; and in making myjsabeeqnent
report f used that expression without
adding quotation marks, sever think
ing that anything had been said that
would attract attention—«s this did,
very much to tboennoymoce, no doubt,
of General Butter and, I know, very
mueh to my own. I found after wards
that this wee mentioned in tbe antes
of General Badeeu's book, which, when
they were shown tome, 1 asked to have
stricken out: yet It was retained there,
though agaiost my wishes. I make
this statement here because, although
I have often made it before. It has
never been io my power until now to
piece It where It wlU correct history;
and I desire to rectiry ell Injustice that
I may have does to individuate, parti
cularly to officers who were gallantly

period of the war for tbe preservation
of tbe Union.”

hope—(or a mission from which It was
expected that no one would return.
There waa a general call to quarters uu
each war ship, and lbs smsosc ware
lined up on deck. Tbs call waa made
and every volunteer told to take one
•Cep forward. Every man at quarters
ou each ship stepped forward. It was
a remarkable exhibition of American
bravery.
The men warn taken from the New
York and the Merrlmac. Tha Kerri
0180*0 regular craw was put ou the flag
ship and Hotwon and hla levee corn
pa moos gathered oo the Merrlroeo
shortly after midnight. It was or
dered that bo acarcbitfhta ba turned
on the harbor's entrance for fear that
it would betray the Herrimao’s ad
vance.
Constructor Hobaon had prepared
for the scuttling Of the collier aa aoeo
ea be got to the narrowest part of the
channel. He told the admiral that be
would keep ahead, despite tbe Spanish
Are, and took Ua«e of Sam peon with
much tenderocaaoa the admiral's part.
The start was made about eight
mllaa off shots. These was but the
light of a quarter moon to show tbe
harbor eutraaM.
Tbe half-hour that the collier waa oo
her wav before aha was discovered
seemed so age. She had plenty of
steam up and no sparks dew from bar
funnel that might betray her dash to
watchers oo shore. Her belru was
held true and the prayers of every man
ou tbe fleet for the bout’s safety want
ep io silent bested lot ions. As she
drew nearer to tbe shore tbsra waa Urn
grttUH excitement.
Suddenly from the defenses of El
Motto there sprang a long flash. In
a moment there came across the Caret
bean the echoing boom of a heavy
Rrnpp gue.
La Socapa. across the channel's
south, than burst into flame aa from
its batteries volleyed a mass of iron
ball. Tbe illumlnatkm showed tbs
Merrlmac. She bad passed the har
bor's mouth sod woe dashing up tbs
channel. Ths Spanish pickets oo tha
outer rocks had either been asleep or
uot placed for the Merrlmac waa not
discovered ootll in tUc rook-oound
neck.
Then tbe grandeur of a night bettla
broke forth aa from hill to bill, aud
from tbe cruiser Cristobal Colon io tha
harbor, tbe thunder of Half a hundred
gun# sounded tbe requiem of Spain's
downfall, and heavy shells fell on and
all around the Merrlmac.
Not ones did sba falter. Steadily
up tbe channel Hobaon kept hla course.
Then ths asarcb lights of tbe fleet
were turned on the spectacle. Shells
could be scan crash log through the
boat’s works.
Tha dash In tbe channel was a short
one. Five milieu* ended It. Ttie
Merrlmac bad alowad down. Hobaon
tal go tbe great bow anchors that had
Ossa UauUd apeak, and down they
pjoaged, gripping tha channel's bad.
Then th«e waa an explosion.
