It afterward appearebelieved at headquarters had no foundation, in fact, so far as the ambuscade was concerned.

Clarkson was replied to vigorously from a rebel battery planted inside of a fort made o half-hour's brisk firing demonstrated that it could not be silenced, although Clarkson had succeeded in setting the cotton-bales on fire on two different occasions.
