Camp Wharton, Dec. 28, 1863
 
   ***** Early on the 23d inst., the enemy landed a couple of regiments at Indianola, and occupied the city. They were not resisted, our forces having evacuated the town some time previous. ***** We shall not be surprised to hear that Lavaca will soon be in their hands, but, even there, they will find the ting has cost more than it is worth. The {San Antonio &} Mexican Gulf Railroad from Lavaca to Victoria has been rendered worthless to an enemy, and they will then have to transport all their stores in wagons, should they try to advance further. *****
