This morning we entered the town and made a search of all
the houses for “secesh.” We took seven
prisoners, besides some arms and ammunition. This being a great apple country,
we found stores of apples in the houses, and helping ourselves, we filled our
haversacks. By one o’clock we had finished sacking the town and started back to
our boats, arriving there at dark.
