Louisville, Ky., On Board Str. “Huntsman,”
Thursday, Dec. 22,
1864.
Arriving yesterday morning at Louisville, I found myself too
late for the morning train to Nashville, and of course was compelled to lie
over. The circumstance was fortunate, inasmuch as the train was thrown from the
track and the passengers who started were compelled to return. Discovering that
the road was not in first rate working order, I determined to go round by
water, and am now about taking my departure on the steamboat Huntsman, that,
if we have good wind and meet with no guerillas, will put me in Nashville on
Monday next. I expect to spend Christmas on the Cumberland River.
