ST. Louis, Mch. 4.
The following is from the official report
f0f Genl Cullum:
Columbus, March 4,
To Msjor General Halleck, Commanding
Western Department:
Columbus, the Gibralter Of the West, is
ours, and Kentucky is free. Ala o'clock
this morning the fotiifa under Com.
Foote, consisting of six gunboa.s, four
mortar boats and transports conveyed the
37th III, battalion of the 5ath and the
e74th Ohio and 55th H., under command
OF Gen Sherman, proceeded to this place.
On arriving here 1t was difficult to say
whether the Qualifications were occupied
by our own cavalry on scout from ,padu-
cab, or BY the enemy. Preparations were
made for opening 6re and landing the in
fantry, when Gen. Sherman and Captain
Phelps, with 35 soldiers, made recon-
noisanee with tug, eteaming directly
under the water batteries. Satisfied that
cur troops had possession. they landed, as.
ccndcd to the summit and together plant.
ed the stars md stripes amid the cheers
of our brave tars and soldiers. Though
rising from a sick bed to 20 upon the ex-
pedition, ] could not resist landing to ex-
anime the works, which are Of immense
strength. consisting Of tiers upon tiers of
batteries W on The river front and strong
pararet and ditch, covered by 4 thick
abatus Oh the land side. The forti6ca-
tions appear to have been evacuated has,i-
IS. A considerable quantity of ordnance
and ordnance atores, y number Of pcl ors
and the remainder Of the chain once
stretched across the river here and a
large supply Of torpedoes. are in our pos
session. The desolation oil hastv eyacu-
alton was visible everywhere; hat., tents
and barracks presented nothing but their
remains, though the town was
spared. A garrison was left in the works
consisting OF nearly 2,O00 infantry and
400 cavalry.

while scouts were sent ont upon tugs 10

preached cautiously until within a quar-
ter OF a mile Of the batteries, found the
works deserted, and both set off at the
top OF their speed Tor the honor Of landing
first The scouts rushed on the double.
quick to the top of the bluff and unfurled
the stars and stripes, saluted by the crews
OF tho gunboats as they steamed up tothe
town. The transports landed their troops.
and Columbus was in our possession.
The works we're entirely deserted, and
the barracks, or rather rough board and
log cabins, were burned. An immense
amount Of stores, Goals, and ordnance fell
into our hands. Many of their cannon
were thrown into the river Six thirty.
two Founders, some howitxers and an al
most innumerable quantity of grape, can
isser, shell and round Shots were found in
the batteries. The Notifications are very
extensive and It's natural position almost
lmpregnable. Columbus is completely
deserted. Every building was thoroughly
ransacked and their contents destroyed BY
The rebels.
The rebels commenced leaving on Thurs.
lay last and finished yesterday. The
argest number ever there was thirty-sev-
n thousand. Beauregard was not there. |
Il is believed when the river falls all their
guns will be found.

Soldiers Of the A1my Of the Potoneac :.
For long time / have kept you in
active but not without a parpose. You
are to disciplined. armed and instruct
ed The formidable artillery you now
have, had to be created. Other ar
mics are to move and accomplish Ger
tain results. | have held you back
that YOU might give the death blow to
the Rebellion which has desolated this
once happy country. The patience
Won nave shown, and your confidence
in your General are worth Il dozen vic
tories. Those preliminary results are
now accomplished. I feel that the pa
tent labors Of many months have pro
duced their fruit. The army of the
Potomac is now a real army, magniti-
cent in material, admirable in disci-
pine and instruction, and equipped and
armed. Your commanders are all that
| could wish. The moment for action
has arrived and I know that I can
trust in you to save our country.
As [ ride through your ranks | see in
your faces the sure pestige of victory
I feel that You viii do whatever ask
Of YOU The period of inaction has
passed I VIII bring you now face to
face with the Rebels and only pray
that God may defend the Right.
In whatever direction | may move,
however strange my actions may APP
pear to yon, ever bear in mind that my
fate is linked with yours, and that all ]
do IS to bring you where | know you
wish to be, on the decisive battle field.
1t is my business to place you there. -
[ am to watch over you as q parcAt
over his children. And you know your
General loves you from the depths Of
bis heart Il shall be my care, as it
ever has been, to gain success with the
least possible loss, bat know that if
it is necessary, you will willingly follow
me to your graves for our righteous
cause God smiles AZ victory attends
us. Yet I would not have you think
that our aim is to be obtained without
manly struggle. | would not dis
gnist it from you--that you have brave
foes TO encounter, foemcn we'll worthy
Of the steel which you will use so we'll.
| shall demand from you great and
heroic exertions, rapid and long march
cs, desperate combats and privations.
We viii share all these together, and
when this sad var is over we will all
return to our homes and feel that we
can ask no higher honor than the
proud consciousness that we belonged
to the army Of the Potomac.
