The first consisted of eight refugees, in a "dug out" canoe, who ascended the Wotepo river some twenty miles to White Bluffs, and there destroyed 2,000 bushels of salt and brought away the empty sacks. The other expedition consisted of twenty-two men, in boats, who proceeded up East Bay. They destroyed two salt works, with three hundred bushels of salt. There are five companies of Confederate cavalry in that vicinity to guard these works, who rebuild the works as fast as they are destroyed.
