ld be the best position I could recommend. . . . After reconnoissance, and some skirmishing with the enemy's advance [Sept. 11th], demonstrating that his force was too large to be opposed with success, especially as there were no defenses at Martinsburg, the post, in accordance with General Wool's views, was evacuated, and on the 12th Harper's Ferry was reached. Upon my reporting to Colonel Miles, the officer in command, he showed me the following dispatch: Washington, D. C., Sept. 7th, 1862. Colonel miles, Harper's Ferry: Our army [McClellan's] is in motion; it is important that Harper's Ferry be held to the latest moment. The Government has the utmost confidence in you, and is ready to give you full credit for the defense it expects you to make. H. W. Halleck, General-in-Chief. In view of the foregoing dispatch, and of the fact that I had been ordered from Harper's Ferry to the command at Martinsburg a few days before by General Wool, it was manifest that the authori

r to reconnoiter batteries said to be in course of construction at Port Hudson. He passed up above to Bayou Sara to coal, where guerrillas fired upon him. The little town was destroyed in consequence. Because of the fiendish act of armed citizens of Natchez in firing on a boat's crew who went on shore to procure ice for sick men, that city was bombarded by the Essex, set on fire, and captured. The Essex then turned back, and on her passage down the river had a short and sharp contest Sept. 7, 1862. with the growing batteries at Port Hudson. General Butler was satisfied, at the beginning of September, that the Confederates had abandoned all idea of attempting to retake New Orleans, and he sent out some aggressive expeditions. The most important movement of this kind was to repossess the rich district of La Fourche, on the west side of the Mississippi, and for that purpose he sent the gallant Weitzel, .then a brigadier-general, with a brigade of infantry, with artillery and Barn

C., September 7, 1862. the usual Sunday morning quiet of our camp was somewhat disturbed to-day by exciting news from Washington. It was announced that the town had been attacked, and all were eager for correct intelligence of the facts. After considerable inquiry of persons who were in Washington at the time of the assault, and a comparison of the several relations, we think the facts are substantially as follows: There were stationed at Washington one company of the New-York Third artillery, having six pieces, five companies of cavalry, two companies of the First North-Carolina Union regiment, and two companies, B and D, of the Massachusetts Twenty-fourth. Off the town were lying the gunboats Picket and Louisiana. About a week ago there were very credible rumors of an intended attack upon the place. In fact, a North-Carolinian, from whom correct information had been received several t

He returned, accompanied by Thomas Robertson, son of the late Superintendent of Farming, and teacher among the Sioux, (one-eighth blood), and Thomas Robinson, a half-breed, son of a quondam trader of that name. They brought me a response to my note to Little Crow, of which the following is a verbatim copy: Yellow medicine, September 7, 1862. dear Sir: for what reason we have commenced this war, I will tell you, it is on account of Major Galbraith, we made a treaty with the Government, a beg for what little we do get, and then can't get it till our children was dining with hunger it was with the traders that commence Mr. A.
