The next day the expedition returned to Pine Bluff, bringing 320 prisoners, and infantry having made a march of 82 miles. A detachment of 350 men of the regiment, under Lieutenant-Colonel Gray, left Pine Bluff on the 28th of April, with orders to proceed to Mount Elba by the pontoon bridge across the Saline River, and guard it until the expedition under Brigadier-General Andrews, intended to carry supplies to the army at Camden, should arrive. On the 30th, couriers from General Steele reached us with the information that our army was retreating in the direction of Little Rock, and the regiment returned to Pine Bluff, having made a march of 60 miles.
