After most of the army had reached a point below Vicksburg by the overland route, on the Louisiana side. General Grant's plan for the movement of the fleet assumed definite shape; and on Wednesday, April 15th, he asked Admiral Porter : "Can I depend on you for a sufficient naval force to run the blockade?" "I will be ready to-morrow night," was the prompt answer. Each gunboat had taken for additio...nal protection, baled cotton, railway iron, heavy timber, and huge chains. So dangerous was the attempt to run the batteries with transports that General Grant resolved not to order any man to take part in the movement.
