Grant, finding it impossible to take Yicksburg from his present position, determined to pass a portion of his army on the west side of the river from Milliken s Bend to a point below, and then by running the gauntlet of the Vicksburg batteries obtain gunboats and transports to ferry over his troops to the east side of the river. A portion of the army commenced the laborious march, -^ ar most of the way over an inundated and spongy soil ; the 29. Soldiers oftentimes halting to construct corduroy... roads. Meantime Admiral Porter ran past the Vicksburg bat teries with gunboats and a number of transports, which were all protected from shot by cotton and hay in bales. These transports were manned by volunteers. Said Gen. Grant in one of his reports : " It is a striking feature of the volunteer army of the United States that there is nothing which men are called upon to do, mechanical or profession al, that accomplished adepts cannot be found for the duty required, in almost every regiment. " The gunboats and transports passed down, the former bombarding Grand Gulf, but without much success, and at Bruensburg they met the army, which was at once ferried over, and General McClernand s corps marched out toward Port Gibson to occupy certain hills.
