The Daily Dispatch: September 24, 1863., [Electronic resource], From the Trans-Mississippi. (search)
From the Trans-Mississippi. --The Atlanta Intelligencer has had a conversation with an officer from Louisiana, who crossed the Mississippi on the 9th inst. without any molestation from the Federals. It says: This gentleman brings us most cheering news from the Trans-Mississippi Department. Our army is in fine condition and of formidable strength. They are in good spirits and eager for an advance of the enemy in Arkansas. Except a few unimportant points on the Mississippi, and that part of country directly opposite New Orleans, the enemy occupies but a small portion of West Louisiana. The report of the wholesale slaughter of negro troops at Richmond, La., by Taylor's forces is confirmed by him. No fear is expressed of our ability to successfully defend the Trans-Mississippi Department. Everything in that quarter wears a similar aspect. The crops are unprecedented. The health of the troops excellent, and the people sanguine of our final success.
