Our war witli Spain furni.shud nue ol' the most brilliant episodes in his tory. With a straight, uncomplicated tight, the world for spectators, tin; home country greedy for news ol' the contlieL ami unlimited telegraphic fa cilities to herald every day's doings, tlie incidents ol' thc war were of unusual interest and complete ness. Tho daring feat of Admiral Dewey, which hus thrilled our nation au<l chal lenged thc admiration td' the world, brings to my remembrance an unre corded, but no less brilliant victory, wi which ( baud ot" sixteen hundred ragged Confederate cavalry brought tiie disastrous retreat of an anny of sixty thousand men, commanded by ?Jen. IL S. Grant. In "The War of the Rebellion, a Compilation ol' the Official Records of the Union and Confederate States, published under the direction of the Hon. Husscll Alger, Secretary of War," I find no mention of this raid, so splendid iu its execution und sodis astrous in its results to the Federal army. On page 314, Series 1, Vol. Lil, tbcro is a letter from Gen. Grant to Gen. Hallcck, dated Oxford, Miss., December 14, 18(52, refcrriug to cer tain promotions, in which he says in cidentally: "The people of Mississip pi show more signs of being subdued than any we have heretofore come across. They are very cordial in their reception of tho Federal officers and seem desirous of having trade re sumed." Grant ia back in Memphis on Janu ary 2, 1862, aud writes to have a reg iment of heavy artillery from St. . Louis report to him. He wants six companies at Memphis and six at Cor inth, Miss. This was the estimated number. I havo no means of verify ing it. There is not a word to explain why Grant was at Oxford, Miss., on De cember 14, 1862, and back in Mem phis on January 2, 1868. The only light thrown on tho matter from a 'Confederate source is a letter from Gen. Joe Johnston to Jefferson Davis, in which he says: "Grant is still on the Tallohatchie, so that the remain der of Loring's and Price's troops cannot be removed from Grencda. From his halting, I suppose he is re pairing the railroads. The force at Grencda (about eleven thousand effec tive men) is too weak to do more than delay thc passage of thc river by the enemy. My hope of keeping him back is in Van Dorn, under whom I proposo to unite all the availablo cav alry, when Forrest* and Roddy can bo found." Tho Confederate army, under the leadership of Gen. Earl Van Dorn, had cs the 3rd, 4th and 5th of October, 1862, been thrown against the fortifi cations of Corinth, Miss., a place of great strategic value, being at the junction of two very important rail roads and the scene of the battle of Shiloh. Tho Confederate forces had met a terrible defeat, Gen. Price having lost one-third of his entire command of seven thousand men. The army was completely demoralized and, dis regarding all discipline, they strag gled, eold, hungry and dispirited, into the neighboring towns and farmhous es. They came into Holly Springs, Miss., a town of about twenty-five hun dred inhabitants, by twos and threes, all of a cold, rainy October day, many of them barefooted and 'in their shirt sleeves. Some of them had begged j pieces of rag carpet from the farmers' wives, and cutting a hole iu the middle, I through whioh they thrust their heads, ? thus combined tent, overcoat and um brella. The people made great fires in their houses and laid the men along on thc floors. It was the best they could do -the blankets had long ago been sent to the boys in the army. In a few / days the soldiers were gathered into / two encampments, ono consisting of about seven thousand men at Hudsou ville, six miles north; the other, of OR DEL) DEFEAT. ?Vora 1 Lolly Springs, .Mci 11] )11 is. , >?i iIiou.surt?

'irani was collecting his troops al thc '??and .junction, thc . intersection of the Memphis and Charleston and Illinois (.'cutral llail , roads. Thc Government had tried ia j vain to open the navigation of thc i Mississippi Hiver. Tho batteries at ; Vicksburg still oll'crcd an impassable burrier. (Irani determined to raise an anny large enough to overcome all opposition, and with tho Illinois Cen tral as a means of transportation to cut off Vicksburg in the rear and to starve it into surrender. One night early in December (len. l'ricc and his stalF were spending the evening at my house. At ll o'clock an order came from Gen. Van Dom to begin thc retreat at once, as thc Fed eral cavalry was advaucing from the Grand Junction, only twenty-live miles away. Between midnight and day Van Dom's entire commond passed through thc town and when morning came we found ourselves inside tho Federal Hues. Thc sound of tho bugle woke tho stillness of tito morning, and be fore we could say "The Yankees aro coming," thc cavalry dashed into the town, lt was a sore sight to Southern eyes, but tho numbers, stylo and ele gance of equipment, in comparison with the shabbiness of the Confeder ate cavalry, offered a fascination that could net be resisted. Tho blue grass paddocks of Kentucky and Tennessee had supplied the officers with tho finest of thoroughbreds, and the splen did uniforms and gay flags presented more thc effect of a pageant than an army. Thc next day the infantry began to arrive. My home stood at the end of the street on whic. they came into to.vn, so that they turned to the west in front of tho house, marched ono square, then turned south again, into thc Oxford road, BO I belivo I saw ev ery regiment in tho army, for although the sight was heart-breaking, it was magnificent. First would pass by tho regimental band, playing always "The Girl I Left Behind Me," then" march ing four abreast, in handsome new uniforms, came the infantry; and as the music of one regiment died away the next could bo heard in the dis tance, and so on and on for three days they came, ns wc thought, a great blue monster, going to swallow up the dovoted victims of tho Confedera cy. Tho wagon train was five days long. I I wanted very much to soe Gon. Grant, and supposed his escort would bc especially distinguished, bnt either because they were all so elegant, or ho was so modest, I failed to recognize him. But soon wc learned that this was no passing show. Gen. Grant had determined to make Holly Spriugs his headquarters and thc depot of sup plies for his army, tho Illinois Central ? Railroad furnishing a long line for transportation both North and South, and communication with the Mis sissippi River being easy through Memphis. It is astonishing what complete and immediate possession an army takes ot a town when once settled down upon it. All tho nublio buildings were seized for headquarters and army of fices, and the best dwelling houses became hospitals and tho homes of of ficers, livery stables, warehouses, de pot buildings and a large armory where the Confederates had tried to make guns were filled with magazine stores, provisions and tho winter olothing of the troops. And the sut lers, that curso of the army, they came by hundreds. All the little old shops on thc public square, which had known nothing but thc (sleepy comfort of good times, were crammed to their utmost capacity with whiskey, canned good ti and "cheap clothing," till they fairly shook with a delirium of excite ment. The negroes, liberated by the coining <d" the "Yankees," >warir.ed in tin; streets, spent their money and got drunk in celebration of their free dom . Three weeks passed away, the maia body of the Federal army bad gone as l ar iouih as Oxford, Mississippi, their advance bad reached Coffecvillo and it seemed as if nothing short of a mir acle coul 1 turn them bael;. The Confederate army bad apparently melted away, arel there was ;. <t even a skirmish io relievo the monoto ny. lo the ne intime I'm le Sum was pouring into the little town "d' Holly Springs a wealth ol' provisions for the ''Boys in l?l?e.'' Many officers' wive.-, had sett!, d themselves for thc winter in thu hornea of the citizens, who, true to tlicir Southern traditions, were of fering tie III a kindly, if a >? unpulsory hospitality. On the morning of December tfU, as I lay in bed, 1 heard a sound which I thought was the singing ol' the wood lire, but on going near it I found that the sound came from a distance, liais ing a window, 1 cried out: "Ob, it is tin; rebel yell! and I.hear tiring out at the railroad station." In a moment there dashed up the street a squad of the most disreputable looking fellows, who cried out: "(Jot any Yankees in your house?" but before they could re illy to my what's the mutter? they were gone. The hiing grew more and more fu rious, and untrained as I was in the noise ol' battle, I thought a thousand men must be falling at every explo sion. I ri a little while another squad of men went dashing by, b .t they called out that Van Dom's cavaly had captured the town. I ran down to the public square and rushed into pande monium such as is never exacted ex cept in captured towns. Citizens, negroes. Yankees and Hebels were stirring around in inex tricable confusion; squads of Federal prisoners being brought in faster than they could bc parolled, and there were not Confederates enough to guard them. Thc sutlers' stores were being rifled, while the officers were having the heads of the whiskey barrels knocked in for fear thc soldiers might get drunk. The postofficc seemed tc offer a rich booty and a great many of thc negroes sat all day opening letters with the hope of finding some money. Many of the citizons were delirious with joy and for thc moment in dulged in the hope of a permanent oc cupation by the Confederates, but wc soon learned that Van Dom's entire force consisted of but sixteen hundred meu, who with their horses were ex hausted from several days'and nights' hard riding, and that they must "fire and fall back." Tho warehouses and depot buildingc where the clothing and commissaries of the Federal army were stored, were a half mile away and soon great col umns of smoke floating over the town told that the work of destruction had begun. Thc winter clothing of the en tire army, an immense store of fooc and medical supplies, it waB estimated at eight millions of dollars, was al burned. The greatest difficulty en countered by the Confederates wat in getting rid of the magazine stores They were packed in brick liverj stables on thc publie square and tc have set fire to one of them would have blown up the town. So thc principal occupation of the soldier! aud-citizens was to take the amciuni tion out, make it into small piles ii the streets, and set them off, one bj one. A stable whioh was not entirely emptied by the soldiers was set on fin after they left and the exploBion brok? almost every window pane in thc town. It must have gone hard with th< hungry, ragged Rebels to burn all these warm clothes and good rations but they dared not overburden theil tired horses, as they had a long, dan gorous journey beforo them. But th< prospect of frost-bitten feot was mor* than they could stand, and ncarb every soldier had a bundle of thiel wool socks tied at tho baok of his sad die. When all was over and the Confcd eratc troops were drawn up in line fo departure it was almost impossible t< believe thifc such a body of men, s ragged and worn, riding horseB tba were little bettor them skeletons should have conceived a feat so bril liant and have executed it with sue consummate skill and daring. The had left the city of Greneda, ridde more than a hundred miles and mad % wide ??rnii?f. ?rcusd thc Fc'd??? army. Thc mea had been in the fca<3 die day and night almost without fooc rest dr sleep. Their pants were wor off to tho knees and tho horses reele as thoy ran. Van Dorn had found on thc roa threo men who had what are calle trading passos. Threo soldiers too their clothes and passes and goin into the town at night, discovered tl location of the troops and picket! They ran into tho town at drybreal Gen. Wm. Jackson, of Bell Mca< Tenn., leading tho advance. As they captured the pickets, no alarm waa given, and the surprise was so complete that no resistance was olfcrcd. .Most of the officers were in bed. Thc cavalry stationed at the Fair Grounds vanished away; the Confed erates parollcd 2,500infantry, most of whom could have made their escape if they had so desired. An Illinois reg iment sent word to Gen. Van Dorn that they wished to bc parollcd, but bo re plied thal he would accept no pledge of them, as men who wanted to bc pa rollcd were serviceable in thc enemy's camp. lt is evident that (Jen. (J rant count ed too confidently on thc weakness of his enemy. An attack in thc re tr was a e intingency for w hich no provision had been made. Millions nf dollars worth of valuable stoics had been piled up ut Holly Springs, but not a ;<i de breastwork had lo en thrown up, not one bale of cotton had been piled on another in case of attack. There were thousands ol' soldiers in thc town, but they evidently never ex pected to be awakened by tho Hebel yell. Thc casualties were ridiculously small; so far as 1 could learn there was but one urtu killed. ?A Federa soldier running from a Confed?rate looked back with his mouth wide open Thc Hebel took aim and fired right into if. There were many officers' wives in thc town, but, though terri bly shocked and frightened, they wen entirely unmolested. (Jen. Graut'? family were boarding at Mrs. Ilugl G ovan, a beautiful and cultured wo man, a daughter of Bishop Hawks, o New York. Mrs. Grant had gone tc Oxford to spend the day with tin General, but she returned to find al of her belongings sale with her hos tess; only her carriage had been burn ed along with other "munitions o war." lt is said that when the Con federate soldiers came rushiug in hoping to capture (Jen. Grant's wa papers, Mrs. Govan met them at th head of the stairs and said, "Soldiers it doesn't become Southern gentlemei to enter a lady's bed-room," and the; all turned back, leaving the covcte< prize in a bureau drawer. The Confederate soldiers foruic in linc about 4 o'clock in the aftei noon and vanished as suddenly as the had appeared, leaving nothing bu the smouldering ruin3 and taking onl, thc consciousness of a glorious victc ry. Penetrating still farther into th enemy's lines, they broke up thc Men phis and Charleston Railroad at Lc grange, Tenn., and proceeded north o the Illinois Central as far as Bolivai burning bridges and trestles, and ii every possible way obstructing th operations of Grant's army. Thee men were in the saddle seventee days, alternating a ride of eight hom I with a rest of four, day and night I They carried their ammunition o j their person, slept on the ground witt out blankets, and shared their scant rations of corn only with their ho ? ses. Never was there a greater vicias tudc of fortune, from the height < triumph to the depth of despair, thu i befell border town as night closed i on that 20th of December, 1863. Ti \ twenty-five hundred paroled soldie: swarmed like a hive of angry bee Defeated, hungry and houseless, thc declared they would burn the towi and they were only prevented by tl instinctive generosity of the peopl Seeing the sad plight of these mei the citizens, to the utmost of the capacity, took them into their home and those soldiers rewarded their ho pit&lity by affording them much nee ed protection in the dark days th followed. The burning of millions of dolla worth of government stores was a hei vy blow, but the consequences of *hc destruction were far more disastrou That splendid army had been gottt together at great expense and mai weeks bad been consumed in . ot rying them into the heart of Misai 8ippi. Now the railroad was broken up ai the Blores burned, the eount through whioh they had come was d vastated, and there was nothing 1< to do but beat a hasty retreat, mareh of a hundred milos for a I army, almost without rations, w & situation which might well perpl the wisest of generals, and it was o to which Uncle Sam's army was ali gether unaccustomed. But Gc Grant, imperturbable in defeat as victory, m ar ot (3d bis army baok Memphis and, so far aa the reoor show, the world never knew that bad sustained a disastrous defeat. 1 merely changed bis base.
