The front was kept up by Smith's and Morgan's divisions, while Steele's division lay along Chickasaw Bayou, ready to meet the enemy if they should make a deployment in that direction. Every thing was quiet on the line, and this being a favorable opportunity, a flag of truce was sent to the enemy for the purpose of recovering and attending to ourders were to hold their fronts firm and advance, if they could, while Steele was storming the enemy's works at Haines's Bluff. The movement preparatory to this was, for Steele to mask his division from the enemy's look-outs by marching down Chickasaw bayou to the river, put his troops on board the transports and steam quietly up the Yazoo, and before daylight debark his troops under the enemy's guns at Haines's Bluff. In this matter the gunboat and mortar fleets were to play an important part

I have given you an account of the action which occurred on the twenty-ninth day of December, and of its results. But two divisions — those of Morgan's and Steele's — were generally ande advantage to us. From certain points on the new line thus made, Vicksburgh could be seen. The movements of the rebel troops in the city, and some portions of Vicksburgh, were clearly and fairly in view. It was tempting to look straight in upon the beleaguered city, and still knowversation was opened by our pickets, by asking: How far it was to Vicksburgh?

The conversation was opened by our pickets, by asking: How far it was to Vicksburgh? Rebel Picket--So far that you'll never git thar. Federal--How many men you got? Rebel--Enough to clean you out. One rebel, who seemed to be somewhat of a stumper, said that Banks had been whipped out at Port Hudson; that Memphis had been retaken, and that the Yankees would not take Vicksburgh till hell froze over. A thousand questions were asked, and all answered in the same defiant way. While this interesting parley was going on, the wounded and dead were removed. In a very short time the field was cleared, and every thing was again quiet on the lines.

Being irregular, and perhaps not authorized, and occasional skirmishes still going on, the flag was fired on by the enemy.
