To Major J. G. Biswett
The enemy were completely routed. We cap
tlred 2500 prisoners, 200 wagons, Il pieces Of
artillery, and an immense quantity Of small
arms, qqartsTmAstsT, e0mlaissAry and ordnance
stores. No danger from that source for several
months to come. The closing scene Of tbs race
was, that SiuTgis and GrieTson entered Memphis
on the same mule, bsck 70 back, each armed
with huge pair Of spurs. We are al ssfs, with
q plenty Of the good things. Of this life. The
ladies Of Columbus will be remembered.
