We met light resistance at all point near the head of Chickasaw Bayou, in front of Morgan, and the other about a mile lower down, in froeral orders accordingly. I pointed out to General Morgan the place where he could pass the bayou; ant in person about a mile to the right-rear of Morgan's position, at a place convenient to receive rn A. J. Smith's front and in front of General George W. Morgan. One brigade (DeCourcey's) of Morgan'Morgan's troops crossed the bayou safely, but took to cover behind the bank, and could not be moved forwardnd did not cross the bayou at all, nor did General Morgan cross in person.
