There is no word in the English language that can express the state in which we are, and have been, these last three days. Day before yesterday, news came early in the morning of three of the enemy’s boats passing the Forts, and then the excitement began. It increased rapidly on hearing of the sinking of eight of our gunboats in the engagement, the capture of the Forts, and last night, of the burning of the wharves and cotton in the city while the Yankees were taking possession. . . . Nothing can be positively ascertained, save that our gunboats are sunk, and theirs are coming up to the city. . . . We went this morning to see the cotton burning—a sight never before witnessed, and probably never again to be seen. Wagons, drays,—everything that can be driven or rolled,—were loaded with the bales and taken a few squares back to burn on the commons. . . . All were as busy as though their salvation depended on disappointing the Yankees. . . . —Sarah Morgan Dawson, A Confederate Girl’s Diary
