2. According to his instructions, Colonel Winslow was to have secured supplies at Yazoo City from the Commissary of the Union troops stationed there. His failure in so compelled him either to return to Vicksburg for supplies or to continue his march and take the chances of procuring supplies for his men as well as forage for his horses, from the country at the time of his march. He boldly decided on the latter course, in opposition to the judgment of his officers.
