HKPOHT FROM THE COyFEDEBAtV:
Yankees Close Mobile Bay;
Confederate RAM Fights Heroic Battle
BY ROBERT STONEDALE
MOBILE, Alabama, August 5,
1864. Although the Yankee arm
ies at Petersburg and Atlanta re
main immobile, unable to consum
mate their campaigns against two
of the South’s most important
cities, the Union Navy has won a
victory of far-reaching import
ance, While Confederate armies
and civilians are suffering for
want of supplies, one of the few
remaining Southern ports has
fallen victim to the enemy’s vir
tually unopposed sea-power. A
powerful Yankee armada has for
ced the entrance to Mobile Bay,
captured the ironclad Tennessee
and eliminated Confederate naval
resistance. A large Federal in
fantry column is conducting land
operations against lightly garri
soned Fort Gaines and Morgan.
Fort Powell, which guarded the
entrance from Mississippi Sound,
was abandoned late tonight when
it became obvious that its 140
man garrison could not hold it in
the face of an assault by the US
XIII Infantry Corps.
At 6 o’clock this morning, the
18-ship Yankee fleet steamed
over the outer bar and headed up
the channel which passes between
Forts Morgan and Gaines. The
crew of the 209 foot Tennessee
was immediately sent to battle
stations as were the crews of the
three small wooden gunboats,
Morgan, Gaines and Selma, which
made up the rest of the Confed
erate fleet. All told, the Confed
erate force commanded by Ad
miral Franklin Buchanan mount
ed 22 guns. The total of officers
and crew was 470. The Yankee
fleet opposed in this morning’s
battle, mounted a total of 192
naval cannon with a total of 3000
officers and seamen. The Confed
erate squadron went into the at
tack without regard to the odds.
At 7:07 the enemy fleet opened
on the forts and had little diffi
culty in forcing a passage. USS
Tecumseh’s 15-inch shells burst
ing over Fort Morgan illustrated
the power of the enemy’s war
ships but Admiral Buchanan a
board CSS Tennessee ordered his
tiny command to engage. The
three wooden gunboats traded
blows with the leading enemy
monitors until the Gaines was
run aground to prevent her from
sinking as a result of a number
of hits below the waterline.
Crashing broadsides smothered
Selma in splinters and smoke as
her commander, Lieutenant P. U.
Murphy went down wounded in
the arms and legs. Selma was cap-
tured by the enemy ironclad
Metacomet after her executive
officer and a number of crewmen
were killed. While the enemy was
disposing of wooden gunboats,
Tennessee steamed for the larger
ships on a collision course. Before
she atacked, US S Tecumseh
struck a mine and went down
with heavy loss.
The waters of Mobile Bay his
sed and foamed as shell explos
ions surrounded Tennessee and
solid shot hammered at her six
inch thick armor forward. The
gallant Buchanan had resolved to
engage the entire Yankee fleet
with his one vessel. More than
100 heavy guns were turned on
Tennessee whose 6.4 inch rifled
broadside guns had to spread
their fire over the great range of
targets. At 9:26, USS Mononga
hela rammed Tennessee; five min
utes later USS Lackawanna
struck her forward deck and USS
Hartford followed suit. Tenn
essee was the center of a churn
ing circle of Yankee ships, all of
them firing into her at short
range. So heavy was the enemy
concentration about the lone Con
federate vessel that the Hartford
rammed the Lackawanna while
trying to reach Tennessee again
and inflicted more damage upon
her consort than she had upon
the Tennessee.
Aboard the Confederate ram,
the steady rain of shells and solid
shock were causing havoc beyond
measure. Admiral Buchanan was
struck down by the iron splinters
flying across the gun-deck; the
forward and after gun-port cov
ers had been jammed against the
shield, the stack was shot away
causing a reduction in Tennes
see’s already inadequate speed,
casualties were mounting and
firemen and engineers were faint
ing on the boiler deck as the loss
of the smoke stack raised tem
peratures below beyond human
endurance. Still Tennessee kept
up the hopeless fight.
About 9:30 a Federal salvo
carried away the Confederate
ship’s exposed rudder chains and
left her utterly helpless. But her
flag still flew defiantly as she
slowly circled in the tide under a
ceaseless rain of projectiles. Fin
ally, at 10 o’clock this morning,
CSS Tennessee was surrendered
after one of the most gallant de
fenses in the history of sea war
fare.
Enemy land operations against
the remaining forts are contin
uing tonight and the steady boom
of Federal broadsides and land
batteries can be heard clearly in
Mobile, 30 miles away. CSS Mor
gan arrived at Mobile late to
night, after suscessfully evading
the enemy fleet.
The enemy’s success today has
closed the last Gulf port of any
consequence. The last blockade
runner to reach Mobile docked
late last night.

“Good morning, sir: Mr. Editor,
how are the folks today? I owe
you for next year’s paper and I
thought I’d come in and pay. And
Jones is going to take it and this
is his money here. I shut down
lending it to him and coaxed him
to try it a year. And here is a
few little items that happened
last week out our way. I thought
they’d look good in the paper and
I just jotted ’em down. And here
is a basket of apples my wife
picked expressly for you; and
here is a pumpkin from Jennie —
she thought she must send some
thing too. You’re getting out a
mighty good paper, as all our
family agree; just keep your old
goose quill a flappin’ and give
them a good one for me. And
now you are chock full of busi
ness and I won’t be taking your
time; I’ve things of my own to
attend to—good day, sir, I be
lieve I will climb.”—Fayette City

TAKE FISHING HONORS
Neal Earnhart with a 4 lb. 11
oz. bass caught in Jackson Lake
with a yellow worm and Billy
