HEADQUARTERS POST OF GRENADA, May 17, 1865.

Major General C. C. WASHBURN,
Commanding District of West Tennessee:

On my arrival here General Wright telegraphed to Jackson asking if he should turn over to my quartermaster the C. S. property. Colonel Young, provost-marshal-general, Department of Mississippi, replied that he would be were himself with a quartermaster on Monday or Tuesday to receive property. On same day I received a telegram from a quartermaster at Meridian that was authorized by General Canby to receive property;wished no one to interfere with it. Under these circumstances, and being in Generals Dana's and Canby's department, the property has not been turned over to my quartermaster, but he has collected it as much as possible and I now have it under guard. A great amount was stolen before my arrival by soldiers an citizens, and with the exception of some transportation have not been able to recover it. Since my arrival here everything is very quiet. The commissioners will be here to-night from Jackson to parole. I am on the track of some guerrillas some distance from here, and if captured and convicted, will deal with them to extent of the law. The steamer Sharp was, from reliable information, pressed into the C. S. service. The owners of the boat made every effort and once succeeded in clearing her, but it was afterward taken by force from them by the C. S. authorities. The boat is now some distance below here. I await your orders.
