To-day we are
marched on board the steamer Tigress, and soon are moving up the Cumberland
river. The weather is pleasant. The scenery along the river, the cliffs, the
vales and the hills, crowned with beautiful cedars, are imposing. The negroes
flock to the shore and their hearts seem to bound as they behold their
deliverers coming up the river with the old Union's banner proudly waving.
