General Logan's division arrived today, accompanied by the
Seventeenth Engineers' Corps with pontoon bridges. They bring the news that our men are still
throwing shells into Vicksburg, and that the rebels are vacating the place. Our
quartermaster went out into the country with the teams and brought in nineteen
loads of cotton.
