progress until a position was secured, when time could be spared to observe them. It was at Port Gibson I first heard through a Southern paper of the complete success of Colonel Benjamin H. Grierson, who was making a raid through central Mississippi [from La Grange, Tennessee, to Baton Rouge, Louisiana]. He had started from La Grange, April 17th, with three regiments of about 1700 men. On the 21st he had detached Colonel Hatch with one regiment to destroy the railroad between Columbus and Macon and then return to La Grange. Hatch had a sharp fight with the enemy at Columbus and retreated along the railroad, destroying it at Okolona and Tupelo, and arriving in La Grange April 26th. Grierson continued his movement with about 1000 men, breaking the Vicksburg and Meridian railroad and the New Orleans and Jackson railroad, arriving at Baton Rouge May 2d. This raid was of great importance, for Grierson had attracted the attention of the enemy from the main movement against Vicksburg.-

We were relieved of our watches, our money, our knives, even our pocket-combs, by a chivalrous young officer of the guard. For seven months we officers lingered in Libby prison, and then for eight mouths more in Macon and Columbia. Most of the privates died in Andersonville. When I escaped at Columbia, fifteen months afterward, only sixteen of the sixty of my regiment who were captured with me on that day were alive. Of the nine of my own company (B) who were taken, only one besides myself was left to tell the tale.--S. H. M. B. Why do your caissons hurry so to the rear? I inquired of this gallant gentleman as I handed him my pocket-book. For ammunition, of course, was his prompt reply. And the
