day was received in this city:
we reached here yesterday, after a weeks
march up between the Black and Yazoo

The object of the expedition was to do
stroy the resources of the country, to pre-
vent the enemy from subsistiDg their armies,
and TO drive out any force they might have
in that region, and, if possible, to ascertain
il the enemy was concentrating in any con-
siderable force fer the purpose of raising the
siege of Vicksburg. We had six brigades,
numbering something over 10. 600 m en-. We
have marched over, one bupdred miles in a
week, during the hottest kind of weather.
We destroyed all the forage and supplies of
cotton, and drove off all the cattle, horses
and mules between the two lines, for dis
lance of fifty miles. ......-
We met,no consid body of the enc
my; only one or two slight skirmishes. We
ascertained where the enemy was concen-
tratng, and gained much valuable informa-
ton, which may be of use here after. The
com handing General reported to General
reported to General Grant, this morning, to
Haines Bluff, who seemed well satisfied
with our operations. It was made our pain

that we could find ,sparing only dwellings.
and small supply of provisions for each
family. They can raise no force to make
US give up the siege.
