PORT HUDSON,
LA. We arrived at this port yesterday at noon, having made a quick run from the
scene of our late action, coming through without accident or incident worthy of
note. The rest of the fleet went up Red river, I suppose, as we have not seen
them since night before last. They have a part of our command and some are up
the Mississippi. We are badly scattered, which speaks poorly for our
discipline.
We are to start
on another expedition this morning, but I do not know the nature of it yet.
