following account of the manner IN which
cotton captured from the Confederates tow

counted for. He says: ~
There were four thousand bales of cotton
captured from the Confederates, here in store,
guarded by Federal troops. After it was
nearly ali stolen by officers in command,
and sold on private account, the ware
house or cotton sheds were fired; cotton
was reported burned, and the account was
closed by the usual entry in abstract u ~
