The guard was then taken off, and on the first day of January we started on our march for home, with an escort of eighty cavalry, composed mostly of Germans. They were not very strong for secession, but they had, like a good many others, to become soldiers or hang on the branch of some tree.

We had heard about the fight, but did not believe it. We were now reinforced by three hundred and twenty, which made the party over six hundred strong, not counting the Scotch Grays that the latter

It has already been shown that the large amount at Port Hudson had not been properly secured, and more was still being delivered. The enemy's attempt on Vicksburg, via Chickasaw Bayou, had just signally failed, and his troops been withdrawn and re-embarked. Before the first of January supplies from Deer Creek and Sunflower, could not be brought down owing to the low stage of the water, and when the rise of the river admitted their being landed at Snyder's Mills, the character of the soil, and the roads over which wagons must pass, was such as to render transportation almost utterly impracticable.
