ed." This despatch of General Halleck's made a great
sensation. The expectation that the stragglers would come into the
National camp was disappointed; the prisoners taken were few, and Pope
was censured for making a statement of fact which he neither made nor
authorized.

Fort Pillow was abandoned June 1st. On June 6th, Admiral Davis, who had
succeeded Commodore Foote, destroyed the Confederate fleet in front of
Memphis after an engagement of an hour and a half. The same day, the two
regiments that Pope left with the fleet, entered the city. The objects
proposed in the spring were accomplished, though not in the manner
designed. The railway connection at Corinth was broken, though not by a
mere dash from the river. Fort Pillow was possessed, Memphis was
occupied, and the Mississippi open to Vicksburg. The volunteers had been
through a hard military school. After their experience in fighting, they
had practice in the slow advance to Corinth, in picket duty and field
fortification. They had learned something of the business of war and
were now ready for campaign, battle, and siege.
