Union soldiers by his porsonnl popularity.
Ho distinguished himself gallantly in vari
ous luittlos, among them Belmont, Fort
Donelson nnd Shiloh. His corps nlso fought
dosporatoly on tho Dig Blnck river iu May,
180J. In November, 1801, McClornand, then
major general of tho 13th nrmy corps, re
signed and left tho nrmy. Wost Point otllcers
were accustomed to call him a "political

Tho Confederates iu tho fort had prepared
for a gunboat attack at long range. Instead
of this, however, tho Ironclad Do Knlb
steamed up within 400 yards of the I'ost,
closely followed by tho LouHvillo and Cin

smaller howitzer vessels to accompany them.
At a o'clock on the afternoon of tho 10th
word was brought to tho fleet that tho army
had reached tho rear of Arkansas Post, and
wero ready for nction. Tho information was
