Woodson, Colonel Third Cavalry M. S. M., Commanding Battalion, Expeditin: We to-day, for the first time, had the privilege of reading Colonel Woodson's official report of the Pocahontas expedition, and the capturnt unbecoming any gentleman; a cowardly attempt on the part of Colonel Woodson to screen himself, and heap the onus and filth of the expeditifar as watches and money are concerned in the matter, we think Colonel Woodson pocketed as much, if not a little more, than any other man on ng else that was done, excepting the straggling and stealing. Colonel Woodson rode along at his ease some four or five miles in the rear, anby false reports. We will close by making this proposition to Captain Woodson, that if he will do the clean thing, come out like a man, and

Doc. 154.-capture of General Jeff Thompson. Colonel Woodson's official report, Pilot Knob, Mo., August 27, 1863. General C. B. Fisk, Commanding District of South-east Missouri: sir: In obedience to orders from Colonel R. R. Livingston, of the seventeenth instant, (he then commanding the post of Pilot Knob,) I moved with a detachment of my regiment from this point on the eighteenth instant, from Greenville, to form a junction with a battalion from Cape Girardeau. I arrived at Greenville at noon on the twentieth instant, and had to remain there till the evening of the twenty-first, for the troops from the Cape. When they joined me on the morning of Thursday, the twenty-second, I moved with the whole force, about six hundred strong, for Pocahontas, Arkansas, by as rapid marches as the extreme heat of the weather and the condition of my stock would permit, and arrived at Pocahontas, Arkansas, on Saturday evening, the twenty-fourth instant.

Doc. 154.-capture of General Jeff Thompson. Colonel Woodson's official report, Pilot Knob, Mo., Augumiles of Pocahontas, I ascertained that Brigadier-General Jeff Thompson was there with little or no force. My ently did Captain Gentry obey this order, that General Thompson, sitting quietly in his office, and tracing a e up to the window of the office, and demanded General Thompson. Captain Gentry deserves the highest creditat I know of. I captured and brought in Brigadier-General Jeff Thompson, his Adjutant-General, Captain Kay, histas expedition, and the capture of the rebel General Jeff Thompson. We regret exceedingly to be called upon bytion. He talks very coolly about the capture of Jeff Thompson, about ordering Captain Gentry forward with all We wanted to try it, did try it, and did capture Jeff Thompson, as well as every other prisoner that was taken he First Missouri entered the place and captured Jeff Thompson and his staff, and when he did come up and was i

n, about ordering Captain Gentry forward with all possible haste. The fact is just simply this, that Captain Gentry had a conversation with the officers of the First Missouri cavalry, they being in the advance that day, about the chance of taking Jeff in, by making a dash into Pocahontas and surprising him. We concluded it could be done, and sent back to the Captain for permission to do so. The Captain did not ride at the advance of his column that day, as he should have done. He said if we wae some four or five miles in the rear, and did not reach Pocahontas with his command for nearly one hour .and a half after the First Missouri entered the place and captured Jeff Thompson and his staff, and when he did come up and was introduced to Jeff, we think, from the position he took during the ceremony, that he was in the same predicament that Sterling Price was at Boonville, Missouri. We turned over eighteen contraband horses to the Quartermaster at Cape Girardeau, but we have never hear

e back to this point with all possible despatch, and arrived here on the evening of the twenty-fourth instant, having sent the battalion from Cape Girardeau back there by Greenville. In ten days I have marched above two hundred and fifty miles, and laid still one day and a half of the time. I had no fight, but fired on several parties of guerrillas, and killed four of them, and wounded three that I know of. I captured and brought in Brigadier-General Jeff Thompson, his Adjutant-General, Captain Kay, his Medical Director, Dr. France, a Captain of artillery, a Lieutenant of cavalry, and a Captain of ordinance, and about fifty other prisoners, mostly deserters, discharged soldiers, and stragglers from the confederate army; also about thirty horses, the most of them taken to Cape Girardeau by the other battalion. I regret exceedingly to have to report several cases of highway robbery, plunder, and theft, by the detachment of the First Missouri volunteers. I am satisfied that some of
