The Yankees have been presented with
the freedom Of the Mississippi-Ain horn.
A letter in the New York Times, from
the headquarters Of the 18th army corps.
at Iberville, La, complains Indignantly
Of the guerillas. 1t says:
Their depredations have made them an in
to'erable nuisance; for they not only seri
ously interrupt the navigation of the Ms
| sissippi-which il by no means 'iree" as
hong as these scoundrels exist-but also pre-
vent great quantity of cotton and other
produce from reaching the New Orleans mar
ket. Many attempts have been made to
break up these organizations, but, by what
cause know not, have hitherto proved eu-
t;rely unsuccessful. Scarcely steamer ar-
! rives in New Orleai that does not have some
fresh outrage to report, and if not fired into
herself, has seen or heard OF some steamer
that has.
Firing into steamers is by no means the
extent OF damage done, for numerous arc
the deaths and serious wounds that have been
inflicted by these guerillas. Their audacity
| is wonderful.
But g few days since body of them ap-
peared within short distance of Port Hud-
son, and after firing a volley at some of the
| negro soldiers, took to their heels and es-
| capped.
Not a great while ago, as the steamer
Iberville was lying alongside Of an irOn-clad,
| u number OF guerillas suddenly appeared on
! the river bank, and in the face Ct the gun
boat opened on her.
If am rightly informed, they succeeded
! in wounding one man severely in the abdo-
men. They disappeared before the gunboat
could open fire upon them.
The most consummatc piece OF impudence
that ever heard OF was perpetrated by these
men Cnly d few days ago. The Wiasllo was
quietly anchored off the mouth of Red river,
when troop of guerillas daringly yentured
to the edge Of the levee and deliberately
aimed and fired their pieces at the officers
and men who were sitting on the deck, for
tunately without effect. Before the guns
could be brought to bear upon them they
had mounted and gallOped Off
