The  plan  that  Captain  Semmes  adopted  to  bring  fish  to  his  net was  as  follows  :  Whenever  he  captured  a  ship,  after  taking  from  her  all  that  he  and 
his  officers  wa.nteu,  be  lay  by  her  until  dark,  and  then  set  her  on  fire.  The  light  of  the  bnrning  ship  conltl  be  seen  many  miles,  and  every  otlH:r 
the  light,  thinking  to  rescue  a  num her  o-f  poor  fellows  from  destruct ion.  The  11irate  kept  iu  the  immediate 
ship within  seeing  ilistance  stood  toward 
vicinity,  awaiting  the  prey  that  was  sure  to  come,  and  the  next  morning  the  poor  fellows  who  to  serve  ·the  cause  of  hnmuuity  ha<l  gone  many  miles 
themselves  under  the  guns  of  the  Alabama,  with  the  certamty  that  before  another  twenty-four  hours  they  would  share  the

in  1837  with  Braxton  Bragg,  Jubal  Early,  John 

General  Hooker,  born  in  Hadley,  Mass.,  November 13th,  1814,  died in Garden  City,  ~  .  Y.,  October 31st,  1879.  After  a  good  elementary education lie 
was  appointed  a  cadet  in  the United  States  }filitary Academy,  where  he  was  graduate<l 
·edgwick  and 
Ed ward  IJ.  Townsend.  He  was  appointed  a  second  lieutenant in the First Artillery,  and  after  serving in the Florida war  was  sent with  hi' regiment  to  the 
}faine  frontier  on  account  of  the  disputed  boundary  controversy.  On  No>emuer  1st,  1838,  he  was  promoted  to  a  first  lieutenancy.  After  continued 
service  with  his  regiment,  he  was  appointed  adjutant of  the  Military Academy,  July 1st,  1842,  but  soon  afterward,  having  been  offered  the  adjntancy  of 
his  own  regiment,  accepted  it,  and .ret~ined  it  ~ntil  May 11th,'  184,fj,  He  served  with  distinction  in  tl.1e  Mexican  war  from  ,1846  till  I~~ ,  and  in _the

'rlwmas  L.  Homer,  Wilham  0.  Butler  and  Gideon  I.  Pillows.  He  was  particularly  d1stmgu1shed  10  the  siege  and  assault  of  }lonterey,  under  General 
Zachary  Taylor,  and recei\'ed  the  brevet of captain.  He  took  part in  the  movements  from  Vera Oruz  to  the  City  of  Mexico,  and  for  his  gallantry  in  a 
spirited  affair  at  the National  Bridge on August 11th,  1847,  was  brevetted  major.  He  was  favorably  mentioned  in  the  dispatches  announcing  the  ,;erie,, 
of  actions  and  victories  in  the  valley  of  Mexico-Contreras,  Ohmnbnsco,  Molino  del  Rey,  Chapultepec,  and  the  capture  of  the  city.  For  tho  decioiYe 
action  of  Uhapultepec he  received  the  brevet  of  lieutenant colonel,  being  thus  among  the  very  few  to  whom  were  given  three  brevet:;;  during  the  war. 
After  a  year's  sojourn  at  the  east,  he  was  sent,  on  July  9th,  1849,  as  assistant  adjutant  general  to  the  rliYision  of  the  Pacific,  where  he  ·ervetl  until 
November 2-ith,  18.51.  By  regular lineal  promotion he had  become  a captain in his regiment on  October 29th,  1848,  but this  post  he declined  aud vac.ated, 
since  he  could  11ot  hold  both,  in order to  retain  his captaincy in the adjutant general's depa1rtme11t.  From 1851  till  1  53  he  was  on leave of ab'em·e.  Btliua, 
like  many  others,  smitten  with  the  "California fever," he  resigned  from  the  army on  February .<!1st,  1853,  and from  that time until  1  61  lived  a  precario~s 
and  noL  very  successful  life.  At the  beginning of  the  Uivil  War  he  promptly offered  his services,  which  the Government  made  ha ·te  to  accept,  and  he  wa 
appointed  a  brigadie1·  general  of  volu11teers,  May  17th,  1861.  He saw the  battle of  Bull  Run without p~rticip~ting i~1 it.

Our  artist  wrote:  "The  Seventeenth  Army  Corps,  under  General  :McPherson,  have  been  exceedingly  fortunate  in  being  ordered  to  Lake  Providence, 
La.  Their  tents  are  pitched  in  pleasant  places. 
I  have  not  seen  a  position  anywhere  along  the  )lissis ippi  River,  01·  anywhere  else,  which  offers  such 
inducements for  au  army  'to  stay awhile' as  the  banks of  this  beautiful  lake.  There  is  a  little  town  on  the  landing,  which  is  only  fit  for,  and  therefore 
only  occupied  by,  negro  quarters  and  sutler  shops.  The  lake  is  immediately  back  of  the  village,  and  not  more  than  a  quarter  of  a  mile  from  th(~  river. 
Immen  e  cotton  fields  stretch  away  on  both  aides  of  it,  and  beautiful  residences,  surrounded  by  elaborate  gardens  full  of  Southern  shrubbery,  adorn  its 
banks."

were  J:ilaced  heavy logs,  "'1th  small  portholes,  through which  they kept  up a  continuous  fire.  This decided  the  siege.  The  kev of the  Confederate works  had  been  carried,  and  Pemberton,  after  a  fruitless  endeavor to obtam  terms,
