Kirby Smith (search for this): article 1
The spring Campaign. It seems a fruitless labor to undertake the unraveling of the tangled skein of events connected with Banks's expedition to the Red river and his engagements with our forces under General Kirby Smith. The Mobile telegraphic oracle has done all that oracle could do to confound intelligence on the subject, and the Yankee authorities leave us almost as much in the dark. But still we may infer from the latter that at least the Yankees have taken nothing by their advance run, and is put upon the long run back to whence he came. He advanced with a force of 40,000 men and a formidable fleet, under the thundering Admiral Porter. Such forces and armaments were to sweep the much ridiculed Confederate forces under Kirby Smith and his Generals like cobwebs from their path. The confessed failure of the expedition settles the question — proves that the Yankees met with a resistance too formidable to allow them to pursue the invasion even to Shreveport. We have the b

But still we may infer from the latter that at least the Yankees have taken nothing by their advance into Western Louisiana. The Federal accounts, which are most boastful, contain admissions fatal to their boasting. For instance, one of their latest telegrams claims a victory by General A. J. Smith, who came to the relief of Franklin, (who had been whipped on the 8th,) and falling upon the rebels on the 9th, badly whipped them, "taking two thousand prisoners and eighteen guns." [They confess a loss of twenty-five all they had in the fight of the 8th.] Yet the same paragraph adds: "The expedition is no doubt broken up, and our troops are falling back." All of the accounts, though claiming to have inflicted dreadful punishment on the rebels, yet admit heavy losses, and represent the battles to have been most bloody. There were several engagements no doubt. It is clear that the enemy was wors
