howitzers, but failed in doing so. The probability is, therefore, that some 15 or 20 of the enemy were killed in the late battle. It is due to Dr. Gordon to say that all the operations performed on the Granite City, with one exception, were performed by him.

I have the honor to be, sir, very respectfully, your most obedient servant.
