. ing spirited sketch 01 the ''War Eagle" of the j
Stfuthvwest;.
In reviewing the military character of this : ,
great chieftain. It is only necessary to refer '
briefly, to bis many unexampled feats of arms' 1
from the time the toesiD of war first sounded J
summoning every true h.orije tlireatning des- '
" 'truction to our dearest political rights, to our '
, ^sacred alters and f hearth-stones,, down to the (
'time of the preseqt writing.
We find him in the ranks ^with a- musket,'
but his great eenius, powers of endurance and vj
indomitable energy soon parked him an cx
traordary man, not tabe condemmed to obsca- (
ity. He soonwon- the confidence of his comrades
and by the assistartye' of Governor Isham ,G.; 'Harris

'"'motcdtoa regiment of cavalry. This regi-.
ment, under life judicious command, be> came J
' teoon pre-eminent as the best and ilfinest in the
service. ItS'Uctions under its galldnt leader \
are familiar to alL wEo shared; in the battle of (]
Fort Donelson, February 10, 1S62. Afterwards
ityroteoted the rear of the army in its i
retreat- to the Jeonessoe River, took u preem.
lDent and distinguished part in the. battle of j
< Sbiloh, and crowned all with the capture of i'
' Murfroesboro, with 1,900 prisoners, only mm- j
^(bering itself 800. Colonel Forrest's services '
^vere now recogurtcd by the Waft Department, '
and the rank of brigadier general of cavalry '
< was justly conferred up?o him. when Gen. f

moved into Middle Tanne#3cc5 General Forrest
was ordered to Columbia and Spring Hill, to

since. Its approach was heralded by a dense
black cjond lising, rapullv in the west, and
rnshilig with, fearful velocity - over the' prairi<v v'ii,
accompanied by tremendous discharges of eleq?
tricity, which fairly sjjook the earth like an>
earthquake. It struck the . Central railroad
track at Mattoon, unroofing and blowing down-buildings
and carrying a#ay every movable'
thing in its path. A loaded freight train on? m
the Illinois Central railroad, north, was lifted
hodilv and turned over beside ami across ithe
track. Some of-the cars were smashed to*
splinters, while others were merely unroofed!
and'the freight little injured. One car was- ,
carried half a mile. ]Sales of cotterr, hogsheads
of tobacco, barrels of flour and fragments of tile
cars were strewn over a large extent on either
side of the track.
