'-IK: 1 have the honor to inform you
that the vessels lately caught by low
water above the falls at Alexandria have
sition 1-6 T. sed from tbeir ""Pleasant po
srtmn The water has fallen so low
hut i had no hope or expectation of set
lngthe vessels out this season; and as
the at my hud made arrangements to
evacuate the country, I saw nothing ho
part of tl Ue l ! ,:ftruction of the best
pait ot the Mississippi squadron. There
sterns to have been an especial Provi
dence looking out for us in providing a
man equal to the emergency. Lieuten
ant Colonel Bailey, acting Lgineer of
tje Amolcenit l army corps, proposed a
plan ot building a series of dams across
the rocks at the falls, and raising the i
n’l'ss ov J S Tr-'’ USh t0 . 1,,t thc -vessels I
puss over. This proposition looked like I
e<!Ti ne n,i a 'p V" 3 o ea £ ineers ridicui- I
1 ■. 1 bat c, ' l '' )n nl Bailey was so "an
guine of success that I requested Gen
eral Banks 10 have it done, and hern
' I | n ,. tbo work - Provisions

un, the dam was promised to be finish
'd in ti n days, or the army would have
im»' r,u h t' / r,0 " ,,tf «l about the
tim., but had no doubt about theulti
nmie success if lime would only permit i
General Banks jilaced at the disposal of
Colonel Bailey all the fo.ee he required
consisting of some three thousand meii
and two or three hundred wa<*ons All
the neighboring steam mills "were tom
dovn lor material, two or three regi
ments of Maine men were set to work
telung trees, and on the second day after
my arrival in Alexandria from Grand
J-.epre the work had fairly begun. Trees
were failing with great rapidity; teamd
i wpfe moving m all directions bringing'
in brick and stone; quarries were open”
l , ;' l '.. fla ‘boats were built to bring stone
down from above; and every man seem-'
< t to be working with a vigor I have
seldom seen equalled, while? perhaps
not owe ,n fifty believed in the success
lul f ‘■Taking. These falls are
about a mile in length, tilled with rug
ged rocks, over which, at the present
hle^'’ 1 7 ater ' ’ <se emed to be impossi
ble to inako a cliaiinel.
The work wa;s commenced by run
ning out from the left bank of the river
a tree dam, made of the bodies Mf very
large trees brush, brick, and ston e y
cross-tied with other heavy timber and
strengthened in every way which inge
nuuy could devise. This was run out
about three hundred feet into the river
""f lal F. coa J bar E es were then filled
with brick and sunk at the end of if
from the right bank of the river cribs
filled witb stone tjvere built out to meet
he (larges. All of which was success
fully accomplished, .. notwithstanding
there was a current running of nin?
miles an hour, which threatened to
sweep eveiything before it. it will take
too much time to enter into the details
ot this truly wonderful work. Suffice I
it to say that the dam had nearly reach
ed completion in eight days’ working
tune, and the water had risen sufficient
ly on the upper fails to allow the Fort
Hindman, Osage, and Xeosho to' ' r et
down and be ready to pass the dam 'in
another day it would have been high
enough to enable all the other vessels to
pass the upper falls-. Unfortunately on
the morning of the 9th instant, lfie pres
sure 01 water became so great that'it
swept away two of the stone barges
which swung in below the dam on one’
n^rnT” 8 tU ? Un fortunate accident,
1 jumped on a horse and rode up to
where the upper vessels were anchored
and ordered the Lexington to dusk the
upper, falls-, if possible, and immediate!
though?? 1 t? i g ,°K throU S h dam. I
thought I might be able to save tfie four
vessels below, not knowing whether the
persons employed on the”wrfrk would
ever have the heart to renew their en
terprise

The Lexington succeeded in getting
I over the upper falls just in time-the water
j rapidly falling as she was passing over,
j She then steered directly for the opening
j m tij(i dam, through which the water
| was rushing so furiously that it seemed
as if nothing but destruction awaited
her. Thousands of beating hearts look
ed on anxious for the result. The si
lence was so great as the Lexington sd”
proachedthe dam that a pin might al
most be heard to faU. She entered the'

I feel that I have done but feeble jus
tice to the work or the persona engaged
in it —being severely indisposed I feel
myself unable to go into further details.
I trust some future historian will treat
this matter as it deserves to be treated
because it is a subject in which the whole
country should feel an interest, and till
In d,uT\ W n ° so admirably
in ihis task should not lose one atom of
credit so justly due to them.' The Miss
lssippi squadron, will never forget the
obligations it is under to Lieutenant-Col
f Ctln , g MUit wy Engineer
of the Nineteenth army corps. Pre
vioiis to passing the vessels' over the
falls, I had nearly all the guns, ammuni
tion, provisions, Chain cables, anchors,
and everything that could affect their
draft, taken out of them. The com
manders were indefatigable in there ex
ertions to accomplish the object before
them, and a happier set of men were
never seen than, when their vessels were
once more in fighting trim. If this ex
pedition has not been so successful as
be country hoped for, It has' exhibited
the indomitable spirit of eastern and
