Hudson Gazette (Michigan), from Vicksburg- letter form a Hudson Boy, July 25, 1863, p. 2, col. 4.
In a few minutes we came into the city, and there I saw what I never expected to see again. The streets were full of rebel prisoners, in all matters of clothes, the most predominate colors of which were butternut, blue, white, yellow and grey, but all so dirty that the original color could hardly be distinguished. I can hardly believe that any attempt to uniform them has ever been made.
