voy OF transports in company. A good deal
OF difficulty was anticipated in getting over
the bars In lower Red river - depth OF water
reported only five feet-gunboats were draw
ing six. Provideniially we had rise from
the back water OF the Mississippi, that river
being very high at that time, the back-water
extending 10 Alexandra, one hundred and
nity miles distant, enabling us TO pass all the
bars and distractions with safety.
Words are inadequate 20 express the ad-
miration feel for the abilities OF Lieutenant
Colonel Bailey. This is without doubt the
greatest engineering feat ever performed.
Under the best circumstances q private COM
pany would not have completed this work un-
der one year, and 10 an ordinary mind the
whole thing would have appeared an utter i'm
possibility. Leaving out his abilities as an
engineer, the credit he has conferred upon the
country, he has saved TO the Union valuable
fleet worth nearly two millions of dollars.
More, he has deprived the enemy ofa triumph
which would have emboldened them TO carry
on this war year or two longer. for the in
tended departure of the army was fixed
fact, and there was nothing lea for me to do
In case that event occurred but TO destroy
every part OF the vessels so that the rebels
could make nothing of them. The highest
honors the government can bestow on Colonel
Bailey can never repay him ior the service he
has rendered the country. To General Banks,
personally, | am much indebted for the happy
manner in which he has forwarded this enter
prise, giving 1t his whole attention night and
day, scarcely sleeping while the work was go
ing on, attending personally to see that all
the requirements OF Colonel Bailey were
complied with on the instant"

The Red River Expedition.

This Expedition left Vicksburg on
the 10th inst. and proceeded down to
the mouth of Red river where they
arrived without delay or accident. A
letter writer from Fort De Russy un.
der date Of March 18th says that at
daylight on the 18th the nntiro com
mand started for Fort De Russy, dis
lance of twenty-eight miles from where
they were encamped, where they arri-
we'd at O'Clock z. NJ, and immediate.
ly opened on the Fort, which replied
vigorously with heavy guns. The
writer then continues:
The cannonade continued an hour,
when Gen. Smith ordered the LIST and
Cd Illinois, 10th Corps, under Gen.
Mower, TO charge the cnemy's rife pits
and storm the fort. The 5Sth, 10th
and S9th Indiana, and oath Missouri
regiments, charged over deep bitches
and thick abattis, amid CALLING fire,
and within twenty minutes after the
order was issued the color sergeant Of
the 9Th Illinois planted the American
flag upon the enemy's works. Our
victory was complete and resulted in
the capture of 325 prisoners, including
twenty-four commissioned officers, two
9-inch Dahlgren guns (24-pounders, }
four 30 Founders, two 6-pounders, a
lot of small arms, 1000 bales of fine
cotton, an immense quantity of assor-
ted ammunition, and several thousand
dollars worth of commissary stores.
Fort De Russy is most formidable
work, quadrangular in shape, with
bastions and bombproofs covered with
railroad iron. A powerful water bat
terry connects with the fort, the case
mates Of which are capable of resist
ing shot and shell of the heaviest cal
ibre.
The position of the guns was CAPT,
tai for a rapid aud effective fire on all
boats attempting to go up or down
the river. About 500 negroes were
employed for year in constructing
the earthworks.
