spatch from Banks showed him to be off in Louisiana, not to return to Baton Rouge until the 10th of May. I could not lose the time. I have taken many prisoners from Port Hudson, who state that it will be evacuated on the appearance of a force in the rear. I sent a special messenger to Banks, giving him the substance of the information I had, and asking him to join me as soon as possible. This message was sent on the 10th. General Grant to General Halleck.-(letter.) near Vicksburg, May 22, 1863. Vicksburg is now completely invested. I have possession of Haine's bluff and the Yazoo, consequently have supplies. To-day an attempt was made to carry the city by assault, but was not entirely successful. We hold possession, however, of two of the enemy's forts, and have skirmishers close under all of them. Our loss was not severe. The nature of the ground about Vicksburg is such that it can only be taken by a siege. It is entirely safe to us in time—I would say one week—if the

anks of all the regiments in that brigade were recruited; drill and discipline were advanced; and equipment was perfected; so that, when in 1864, we were made a component part of General Beauregard's command between Richmond and Petersburg, on the south side of the James, it is more than probable that there was not in the Confederate service any brigade containing a greater number of effective, well-trained, veteran soldiers, and which constituted so valuable a force of that grade. On May 22d, 1863, a sharp affair occurred at Gum Swamp, in Craven or Lenoir county, in which the Fifty-sixth and Twenty-fifth regiments, owing to the negligence of our cavalry, were surrounded by a considerable force of the enemy, and, after losing about 170 prisoners, the remainder of those two commands barely escaped capture by figting their way through the surrounding forces. During this movement Companies C, D, and H, of the Forty-ninth, were picketing at Mosley's Creek, a parallel road from Newber

d and Mississippi Rivers, about May 17, and here we again camped for several days. I have, I think, already noted this extensive and rum-antic city of Simsport, consisting of a postoffice, a rum shop, and possibly three or four houses. We left there May 21 and sailed down the Mississippi to a landing place called Bayou Sara, several miles north of Port Hudson. From Bayou Sara we marched on the night of May 21 to the battlefield of Plains Store, arriving at two o'clock in the morning of May 22, 1863. I was carried in an ambulance. The battle had been fought on May 21. Headquarters were camped on the battlefield, sleeping on the ground, General Banks as well as the rest. The battle of Plains Store was practically the commencement of the siege of Port Hudson. It was an endeavor by the rebels to push back the Union army, which perhaps for the first time they discovered was intending a siege. Before this the rebels, off their guard, probably supposed that Banks' destination was V

suffice to dissuade them from the attempt. They have sustained severe losses, amounting to two hundred and sixty men, which cannot be sufficiently compensated by the capture of a gun taken from the enemy. They are short of provisions. Consequently, they think of nothing but to beat a retreat, so as to avoid the Federal forces that are rushing in every direction in pursuit of them. See report of Colonel Abner C. Harding, Feb. 6, 1863. He was promoted to brigadier-general U. S. Vols. May 22, 1863.—Ed. The transports which the Lexington was convoying were bringing from Louisville to Nashville the whole of General Granger's division, from eight to nine thousand men strong; Colonel Lowe arrives from Fort Henry with reinforcements; finally, General Davis follows in Wheeler's track. The latter quickly retraced his steps, but on learning at Charlotte that Davis was on the march to meet him, he suddenly turned to the right and reached the village of Centreville, by way of Piney Factory,

The speeches and resolutions were cautions, but determined. Ingersoll said that the ballot box must be reached by the people, "force or no force."--Another meeting was hold at Buffalo, N.

Because despotism and superior force so rule it, I go within the Confederate lines. I well understand the purpose of this order. But in vain the malice of enemies shall thus continue to give color

ou could have discharged an equal number of your own officers and men "from parole." The Cartel not only contemplates a "mutual" exchange of "lists," (article 5,) but expressly declares (article 4) that no exchange is to be considered complete until the officer or soldier exchanged for has been actually restored to the lines to which he belongs. As to the paroles given at Gettysburg and elsewhere, you made an agreement with my predecessor, Lieut., Col. Ludlow, to take of effect from May 22d, 1863, that all paroles given not in accordance with the Cartel should be considered null and void. How, then, can you claim as valid the Gettysburg paroles? If you have any rolls or lists of any men whom you have paroled that I have not given you credit for, or if there should be any errors in my account, I will be happy to rectify the same. You declared exchanged, before my predecessor was relieved, certain officers captured at Vicksburg, in which declaration he refused to unite.
