Colonel,--I have just returned from Pine Bluff, which I attacked yes-terday about 8 A. M. The post was garrisoned by two cavalry regiments, (5th Kansas and 1st Indiana,)--effective force about six hundred men and seven pieces of artillery.

No news — no sign of their moving southward nor eastward. Very respe
