The army came along in about half an hour more and landed next morning, taking possession of the enemy's camping ground. That night Gen. Smith concluded to follow them by land while Admiral Porter proceeded up Red river with all the gunboats and transports. In the meantime the Eastport had reached the, with hard work opened a passage in a few hours. The Eastport and Neosho proceeded to the fort, which at that moment was being surrounded by the troops under General Smith, who had marched from Semmesport.
