But to the extent possible within the power of the commanding general, it shall be done. He has captured a quantity of beef and sugar intended for the rebels in the field. A thousand barrels of these stores will be distributed among the deserving poor of this city, from whom the rebels had plundered it; even although some of the food will go to supply the craving wants of the wives and children of those now herding at Camp Moore and elsewhere, in arms against the United States. Capt. John Clark, Acting Chief Commissary of Subsistence, will be charged with the execution of this order, and will give public notice of the place and manner of distribution, which will be arranged, as far as possible, so that the unworthy and dissolute will not share its benefits. By command of Major-General Butler. Geo. C. strong, A. A. G., Chief of Staff. Under this order 32,400 men, women, and children had these provisions distributed to them, under a system which ensured that the food wen

he 29th of July, General Breckinridge ordered a general movement of all his troops on Baton Rouge. His own division consisted of four brigades, in addition to General Clark's division and the large portion of General Ruggles' brigade. Orders were issued requiring all troops to concentrate for this move, stating it to be of the he dead and wounded. A flag of truce came from the victorious (?) General Breckinridge, asking leave for a party to come in and bury the dead and to bring out General Clark who had been wounded. That flag of truce was answered that the task of burying the dead had already been substantially accomplished, and that General Clark waGeneral Clark was in the house of a personal friend of his. The ram Arkansas, from which so much had been expected, had come down the river and run herself on shore about four miles and a half above Baton Rouge. Breckinridge says he had no information of this until the morning of the day of the battle. As soon as he learned it he sent out a p

hat I was to be removed and another general sent in my place. On the 1st of September, I wrote to General Halleck a communication from which I make the following extract:-- . . . I learn by the secession newspapers that I am to be relieved of this command. If that be so, might I ask that my successor be sent as early as possible, as my own health is not the strongest, and it would seem but fair that he should take some part in the yellow-fever season.

established himself in business there. Later he was called to St. Louis, where he was put at the head of public works of that city, and where he now lives with his family deserving many years. I had another volunteer aid in New Orleans, Capt. John Clark, who acted as assistant commissary. He had been editor, and I think proprietor, of the Boston Courier, and when I seized the Delta newspaper he and Lieutenant-Colonel Brown, of the Eighth Vermont, volunteered to keep up the publication as a Union journal. They did it with exceeding ability and success, and I have a lively and strong remembrance of the aid they gave me through that newspaper in writing truly the state of things in New Orleans. Captain Clark died soon after the war. When I got to New Orleans I had not with me a single surgeon who had ever treated a case of yellow fever. I made an appeal to the surgeon-general to send me an army surgeon if he had one who was able to deal with what I looked upon as the most dan
