THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARCUS, JACKSON. GEORGIA
REPORT FROM THE CONFEDERACY:
Federal Assault on Vicksburg Broken;
Northern Offensive Balked Everywhere
BY ROBERT STONEDALE
VICKSBURG, Mississippi, De
cember 29, 1862. The Yankee
army commanded by the inept
General Grant has been forced
to abandon its overland march
toward Vicksburg due to the
slashing Con federate cavalry
raids which have broken its sup
ply lines. But while Grant retreat
ed from Oxford, Miss., the Fed
eral government employed its
vast resources of men and vessels
to send a separate army against
the city by water. Today that
army assaulted the Vicksburg de
fense line and was sent reeling
back with heavy loss, totally de
feated.
An army corps of 33,000 splen
didly equipped Federals and a
large fleet of gunboats were used
in the unsuccessful attack on
Vicksburg. They were command
ed by Major General W. T. Sher
man who rose to some minor
prominence after Shiloh by virtue
of having not retreated quite so
far as his fellows during the first
day of that battle. In the North
ern army, such distinctions count
for much.
Sherman’s force came down
river from Memphis two days ago
and landed north of Vicksburg
where Steele’s Bayou meets the
Yazoo River. The enemy ad
vanced against the outnumbered
Confederates holding a defensive
line atop Chickasaw Bluffs from
Vicksburg north to Drumgould’s
Bluff.

NOTICE TO
TAXPAYERS
All taxpayers are requested to make their re
turns on all property which they own in the
county for the year 1963 on or before the first
of April. The law places a 10% penalty, over
which I have no control, upon anyone not mak
ing his or her return to the Tax Receiver by
that date.
Present owners are asked to make returns on
any transfers of property during the past year
as well as a declaration of their automobile for
tax purposes at the same time.
Please make these returns to Mrs. J. Edward
Carmichael in the courthouse office of Clerk of
Superior Court before April 1, 1963.
Mrs. J. E. Carmichael
Tax Receiver Butts County
placed his artillery in advantage
ous positions along the heights
and calmly awaited the assault.
John C. Penberton, Commander
of the Mississippi Department was
hurrying Barton’s, Vaughn’s and
Tracy’s Brigades from Granada to
his support —a movement made
possible by Grant’s retreat from
Oxford. While Sherman’s men
toiled across the swamps clashing
with Confederate outposts, the
arrival of the reinforcements
brought the defenders strength to
some 15,000 —the odds favoring
the enemy by only two to one.
At dawn this morning, the en
emy was seen to be advancing
in four heavy columns. One was
aimed directly at the city’s de
fenses. Another, on its left, was
poised to strike the bluffs head
on. A third was moving along
Chickasaw Bayou and the fourth
was across the bayou and pre
paring to strike the northern end
of the defensive line.
At 9 a. m. Ward’s Mississippi
Light Artillery and Wofford’s
Mississippi Battery opened a
plunging fire with devastating
effect. Splintered potoons flew
high in the air and the enemy
column approaching the center
began to wilt under the fire. Then
the enemy artillery answered all
along the line.
From 10 o’clock to 11, the
crash of shells was continuous.
Anxious civilians gathered in the
streets of Vicksburg to watch the
pall of smoke forming over the
Bluffs. When the barrage stop
ped, six full regiments struck at
the right of the line.
The Confederate field guns
opened in a storm of fire but the
Federals struggled ahead until
they came within range of the
eager riflemen waiting in pits be
low the crest. A jagged flash of
flame ran along the position as
the riflemen of the Third, Thir
tieth and Eightieth Tennessee
kept up a series of heavy volleys.
The advance was broken but soon
reformed . . . this time in a
divided formation.
The advance of one of the
columns was shattered and driven
back by the fire of the Twenty
eighth Louisiana and the Forty
second Georgia. The other was
dealt with by the men of the
Twenty-Sixth and Seventeenth
Louisiana who left their rifle
pits, fixed bayonets and charged
the enemy flank. The Federals
milled about in panic when the
Louisianians hit them and then
began to stream back to the
woods, leaving the colors of four
regiments, and more than 700
killed, wounded and captured be
hind them. The enemy made no
further effort on this part of the
front.
While these attacks were being
repulsed, Sherman hit harder on
another part of the line. Sheets
of rifle fire played along the
Bluff while artillery mowed down
the assaulting columns.
The enemy showed exceptional
bravery, making five separate
assaults with great loss. One of
the attacks breached the Confed
erate defenses and threatened dis
aster. But the Fifty-Second Geor
gia fought hand-to-hand with
troops since identified as belong
ing to the Fourth lowa, Fifty
fourth Indiana and the Sixteenth
and Forty-second Ohio. Powder
blackened men fought furiously
in the lodgement with clubbed
rifles, knives and pistols while the
artillery roared on. Colonel John
son of the Fortieth Georgia went
down in the cut; the struggling
form of Colonel Bell of the Forty
third fell on top of him. Their

207 killed and wounded. While
Sherman was sacrificing his men,

within minutes, but after losing
a few men to long-range rifle
fire, they held their safe positions
while their comrades were slaugh
tered against the impregnable
bluffs.
Today’s battle demonstrates
that the Federal troops in this
theatre are second to none in
courage but that the skill of their
commanders cannot match their
bravery. It is interesting to note
that Confederate Generals Smith
and Pemberton, who are respon
sible for the Southern victory,
are natives of New York and
Pennsylvania, respectively. Both
refused to join the Federal effort
to destroy the rights of the Amer
ican States. Perhaps the best of
the Northern officers have chosen
to defend the great American
principle of self-determination,
leaving the dross to command
their former countrymen.
