direct communication with Washington. I
was chosen n the officer to command tills
expedition, with full instructions from Ceu,
Canby to avoid, as far as possible, any con
flict with migratory bands of Confederate
who infested Ihe country to he traversed; ill
any ovent, lo precipitate no attack. I was
well aware that the country back of Port
Hudson was the rendezvous of Scott'
guerrillas a. id lien. Mahry's bush-whackers,
and so'ected my detail of negro cavalry
accordingly. I knew the Johnnies expected
to tako no prisoners alivo, and so selected
400 men, Scigants, CorM)ials and privates,
but no white officers lint myself.
The morning of April 12. Ivi5, we started
out, setting ii-w poll's w here uccilcd and
pllcitigand connecting the wire as we mov

habitants that they would be held respon

where they lived. Such a warning from a

expected no leniency from such a scource.

We were by this lime in the niidst of a conn

"Then, (lenernl, let's repair to the cornet

About sundown lien. Mahry and 70 or W)

dressed them, stating my business and the

and smoke with me landing exacted news
of peace between the North and South. The
grocer mustered all the tin cups, glasses,

and a night of revelery commenced. The
room we soon tilled wilh smoke. and many
were the' rolicking jokes, n. rieB of 'bai'lo

but he had a handful of intercepted ills
