| Delhi, Louisiana |
| We saw a young man from Delhi yesterday,
who contradicts the report of the Yankees having burned that place.
Some Fifty of them crossed the (Bayou) Macon at Miller's Ferry and
went to Delhi, where they burned the {Vicksburg,
Shreveport & Texas} Rail Road Depot
and a car loaded with ??? for the Government. The bridges over Bayou
Macon and Tensas River were also burned together with some small
bridges and the Depot at Dallas. We had Eight Hundred Cavalry and a
Battery of Light Artillery over there, but we have not yet heard of
their doing anything to check the enemy during this Raid. We need a
Morgan, a Forrest or a Wheeler in Louisiana. |
