YAZOO PASS EXPEDITION.
March 9th 1868.

kEssRs. EDITORS DAILY HAwK-EYK
DEAR slRs-Some of you readers may have
curiosity to know how the ''Yazoo Pass" wal
made navigable. In the first place it never was
It might be called passable, from the fact that
the first expedition wormed its way through the
pass into the ''Coldwater river, which was an i'm.
provement on the former, and thence to the
Tallehatchie," with General Ross in command
Reinforcements followed with General Quinby
and still another feet was ordered through, by
General ]. E. Smith. was ordered to report
to General Smith with my boat, eight miles be-
low Helena, opposite the mouth of the Yszoc
Pass, ready for the expeditions next move. ]
ordered my Nate to lower the smoke stacks, and
the Engineer to cut them in half, which was SCOT
done, in order to keep the leaning trees from
sweeping them of, while passing through the
creek.
The total length of the pass from the Missis-
sippi to the Coldwater river, is twenty miles
From the Mississippi to the east side of Moon
Lake, where the Pass proper commences, ID
called eight miles; leaving the distance from
Moon Lake to the Coldwater river, twelve miles.
We left the Lake on Monday morning, and
reached the Coldwater Wednesday noon, ma
king the trip in exactly three days and half
The Erie canal is more than eclipsed. To be
sure we did not travel nights, but we made usu.
ally about twelve hours time each day. This
gives US the rapid progress of one mile in three
and half hours. In the upper end of the Pass
the stream is narrow, and rushes along with
great rapidity, through its narrow channel; the
rate being not less than six miles per hour
Lower down, there are strips. of bottom land
along the sides, which are now overfovn, giving
greater width, and consequently less current
But in NO place we're we able to drift with the
current, from the time we started in. The wheel
of the boat is started backing, and even this was
not enough; the yawl was requisite on either
eide, by which lines were constantly made fast
to trees to check our headway, to ease around
the sharp bends.
The expedition has been facetiously called
"the stern-wheel expedition" from the circum-
stance of there being none but stern>whee]
boats engaged in it, but don't see Why it should
not be called the "back water expedition, or the
bold back expedition" because of our ADVANCING

from much damage. Some had the misfortune
to lose their smoke stacks overheard, and crash.

Orders came to General Smith, TO proceed

Although Gen. Burnside is invested by

that Gen. Grant has taken for his relief
will be successful, aud his assailauts will

q fair prospect OF being taken prisoners or
forced into an engagement or retreat.

cess in carrying the rifle pits 0nthe slope
of Mission Ridge, which they had been
ordered TO take at all hazards, rushed mp

Thousands of prisoners.
Neither Grant nor Thomas believed Is
could be carried by direct attack. No or.
