They lost one man killed, and returned to Point Lookout on the morning of the fifteenth, all highly delighted with their three days so-journ in Dixie. The infantry rendered efficient service in constructing the wharf for their reembarkation, and the whole expedition was carried out according to the original plans of General Marston without any misunderstandings. Lieutenants Dickinson and Denney, of the Fifth cavalry, and William Everett, a citizen volunteer, who accompanied them, are highly complimented for their bravery and valuable services. Commodore F.
