This letter being referred to General Kilpatrick, he replied substantially as in his previous report, adding, however, that the photographic papers do not contain the indorsement referred to as having been placed by me on Colonel Dahlgren's papers. Colonel Dahlgren received no orders from me to pillage, burn, or kill, nor were any suet instructions given me by my superiors. This letter was inclosed by General Meade to General <*>ee with the statement that neither the United States Government, myself, nor General Kilpatrick authorized, sanctioned, or approved the burning of the city of Richmond and the killing of Mr. Davis and his cabinet, nor any other act not required by military necessity and in accordance with the usages of war.

The navy in the Red River. by Thomas O. Selfridge, Captain, U. S. N. The Red River expedition was essentially a movement of the Army of the Gulf to control more thoroughly Louisiana and eastern Texas, in which Admiral Porter was called upon to cooperate with the naval forces of the Mississippi. For this purpose, early in March, 1864, he assembled at the mouth of the Red River the ironclads Eastport, Essex, Benton, Lafayette, Choctaw, Chillicothe, Ozark, Louisville, Carondelet, Pittsburgh, Mound City, Osage, Neosho, and the light-draught gun-boats Ouachita, Lexiugton, Fort Hindman, Cricket, Gazelle, Juliet, and Black Hawk, bearing the admiral's flag. This was the most formidable force that had ever been collected in the western waters. It was under a courageous and able commander, full of energy and fertile in resources, and was manned by officers and men who, from a long series of conflicts on the Mississippi, had become veterans in river warfare. With a powerful army, re

During the winter the cavalry was principally at Athens, Tennessee, under General Elliott.
