The Yazoo followed the old channel, and the mouth of the river is, therefore, really from twelve to fifteen miles below where it was originally; but from the old mouth to the new the river is known to pilots as Old River. Where the fleet landed was about three miles above Old River, where the right rested, and the left extended to within three miles of Haynes's Bluff, the intervening space being about six miles. On entering the Yazoo, the first object that Old River, where the right rested, and the left extended to within three miles of Haynes's Bluff, the intervening space being about six miles. On entering the Yazoo, the first object that attracted the attention was the ruins of a large brick house and several other buildings, which were still smoking.
