every gun and carriage was saved undamagcd;
also everything else Of value.
Ofncas and men yled with each other In en-

also, the paymaster's books and Government
funds. We are somewhat compensated for the
loss Of the De Kalb, by the results of this expc.
dillon. Five Of the largest and best boats that
ever run In this river were destroyed by the
rebels to prevent their falling into our hands
They burnt entirely NJ, and one small one wat
captured. The rebels sustained great loss In
converted Into powerful ram or gunboatj and
the loss OF them breaks up their chances Of
transporting troops.
Besides the destruction above mentioned, tho
combined forces captured 1--WE (5) heavy guns
and lighter ono, and all the ammunition and
stores Of the enemy. The rebels cannot afford
TO lose all this material Of war; II frees the
Ysxoo river Of rebel troops.
Al the people Of Yazoo City did not take tht
trouble to warn us Of the existence of torpedocs
amer the enemy ned, which they had an oppor
tunito Of doing, three thousand bales Of cottor
were seized by Gen. Heron to pay for the gun
boat which was lost through their trcachery
The loss to the enemy, In this expedition, hai
been all the guns LETT on Yazoo river, eigh
hundred thousand dollars worth of steamers

Of cotton, and as iuuch more In other store
necessary for the maintenance Of an army.
The officers and men composing the naya
part Of the expedition have lost no reputation
on account Of the sinking of the De kalb, bu
have exhibited perseverance aud attention Il
duty worthy OF the highest praise. Their labo
In recovering their guns and stores will not b
