The YazOo Pass expedition, though failure
in its main objects, was by no means fruitless.-
Immense accumulations Of corn and other pro-
ducts had been made along the route, Of which
il is estimated there was enough destroyed TO
have supplied the whole rebel army at Vicks-
burg for six months.
Considering that food is at this time the great
want OF the COnfederacy, this result alone would
have warranted the expedition.
