r care. I entered Thibodeaux at three o'clock P. M. without opposition. I certainly expected a fight at this place. When I arrived a short distance from it, I found from the smoke of burning bridges that they were retreating, and immediately ordered my cavalry in pursuit. They followed as closely as their force would allow, and prevented the total destruction of two railroad bridges, the one across Bayou Lafourche, the other across Bayou Terrebonne. I found three freight-cars at Lafourche Crossing uninjured, one containing arms, shovels, and sugar, and another containing a lot of arms, ammunition, and accoutrements. I also found papers by the side of the road, which were thrown away in their retreat, proving that the enemy had left Bayou des Allemands. I went into camp on Burton's plantation, about one mile below Thibodeaux. I will repair the damage on the two bridges to-morrow. The enemy has retreated to Berwick's Bay. I send you a list of my killed and wounded; I also sen

the investment and siege of Port Hudson, the enemy west of the Mississippi had been concentrating, and on the eighteenth of June, one regiment of infantry, and two of cavalry, under command of Colonel Major, captured and burned two of our small steamers at Plaquemine, taking sixty-eight prisoners, mostly convalescents, of the Twenty-eighth Maine volunteers. The same force then passed down the river and Bayou Lafourche, avoiding Donaldsonville, and attacked our forces on the twentieth, at Lafourche, crossing on the Opelousas Railway, cutting off communication between Brashear City and New Orleans. They were, however, finally repulsed; but renewed their attack on the twenty-first, which resulted in their again being repulsed, leaving fifty-three of their dead upon the field, and sixteen prisoners in our hands. Our loss was eight killed and sixteen wounded. Reinforcements were sent from New Orleans, but the enemy did not renew the attack. Our forces were under command of Lieutenant-

aw his command along the line of field works affording shelter, which was done deliberately, officers and men retiring together. The casualties were one killed and one wounded. The battery on the Chalmette side seemed well served, and no doubt was so, judging from the character of the officers present. The enemy, steaming up between us and the city, prevented the retreat of the troops to that point. They were accordingly directed to gain the Opelousas Railroad and reach Camp Moore via Lafourche, or such route as might be found best. Lieutenant-Colonel Pinckney has already reported with his command, but somewhat reduced in numbers. In concluding this report, I wish particularly to call attention to the admirable assistance rendered by Lieutenants McDonald and B. M. Harrod, on engineer duty, both before and after the action. Their conduct could not have been better. Lieutenant Frost, on special duty, was also of material assistance, but in carrying out some instructions, was

nd care in the management of its affairs. June 9.—A detachment of one hundred men, under command of Captain Cook, were ordered to Brashear City, where they were attached to a battalion under command of Lieutenant-Colonel Stickney, of the Forty-seventh Massachusetts Volunteers. June 20.—Twenty men of this detachment were ordered, under command of First-Sergeant Ballou, on board a gunboat, to accompany her on a short trip as sharpshooters. It having been reported that the post at Lafourche Crossing was about to be attacked, the remainder of the detachment was ordered to that place under command of First-Lieutenant Tinkham. An engagement took place the following day; and, although the enemy was superior in numbers, was forced to retreat, leaving their dead and wounded on the field. The good management and energy of Lieutenant Tinkham in this affair are to be commended. The loss was twelve killed and forty wounded. On the 23d of June, the enemy attacked and succeeded in c
