Question. From his conversation, did you gather that he was in a condition to render assistance?
Answer. [After a pause.] It struck me as the most remarkable thing in the world that he had not found out positively; had not landed his batteries, and gone to the assistance of Fort Pillow.
Question. Under what circumstances did you understand he was there?
Answer. The steamer on which he was passed by there. I am under the impression that he had also two or three hundred infantry on the steamer.
