At night, on the 7th, we arrived at a landing in Hardin county, Tennessee, known as Cerro Gordo, where we found the steamer Eastport being converted into a gunboat. Armed boat crews were immediately sent on board, and search made for means of destruction that might have been devised. She had been scuttled and the suction pipes broken. ts were then dropped down to a point where arms, gathered under the rebel "press law," had been stored, and an armed party, under Second Master Goudy, of the Taylor, succeeded in seizing about seventy rifles and following pieces. Returning to Cerro Gordo, we took the Eastport, Sallte Wood, and Muscle in tow, and come down the river to the railroad crossing.

If, however, rebel spies again destroy the railroads and telegraph lines, and thus render it necessary to make severe examples, the original sentences against these men will be carried into execution. No further assessment will be levied or collected from any one who will now take the prescribed oath of allegiance. Boards or commissions will be appointed to examine the cases of prisoners of war who apply to take the oath of allegiance. On their recommendation orders will be issued for t
