This bridge was also !burned, and
%still onward Streight plodded with his
troopers past Cedar iBlufftwenty-eight
miles from Gadsden, at sun-up and
then wearily on in the direction of
Tfome, until 9 A. M., 'May 3rd, he stop
ied at Lawrence to rest and feed. So
exhausted were his men that, as soon
as they were ordered to halt, they
sank down ucon the 'ground, and many
of them fell asleep at once.
It 'wvas with -great diilculty that a
suflicient number could be kept' oil
their feet long enough to giv~e the
mules and horses the measure of pro
vender due them. 'it was not so, how
ever, with their indomittable com
mandler. He had Just received a nies
sage from Captain Russell that the
bridge at Rome was too heavily guard
ed, and lie could not take It. He had
also heard that a second column of
Confederates was moving parallel wiLh
him, and were now nearer to Rome
than himself. This was all very bad
news, but at this moment his quick
ear caught a sound -lie knew too well,
and which, more than all else, banished
ho)ei as well as sleep. As Sherman
called him, "That devil Forrest" was at
his heels again, and once more the
cracking rifles of his rear-guard and
their relentless pursuers came ring
ing through the wood. The Confeder
ate commander had not been long de
layed at the Chattooga where Streight
had burned the last bridge. He dis
covered that the walking on the hot
toni of this stream was no worse than
Even Careful
Calomel Users
are Salivated
Very Next. Dose of Treacherous
Drug may Start Trouble
Calonel is dangerous. It may salivate
you and nake you suffer fearfully from
soreness of gums, tenderness of jaws and
teeth, , swollen tongue, and excessive
saliva dribbling from the nouth. Don't
trust calomiel. It is mercury; quicksilver.
If you feel bilious, headachiy, consti
pated and all knocked out, just go to
your druggist and get a bottle of Dod
son's Liver Tone for a few cents which
is a harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful and
if it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nity calomel and without making
you si -, you just go back and get your
mlloney.
If you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides,
it niay salivate you, while if you take
1odson's Liver Tone you will wake up
feeling great. No salts necessary. Give
it to the children because it is perfectly
harmless and can m t salivate.

at Black Creek, even if still more in
convenient than crossing dry on a
bridge.
Ten hours of refreshing sleep and
rest had wrought wonders in Forrest's
fragment of a command, and by dawn
of day on 'May 3ri his loss than six
hundred were once more in full cry
after the raiders. 'Reaching the
burned bridge near Gaylesville, the
ammunition was carried over in small
boats. The horses/nSwai or forded
with the .men on their backs, and the
cannon and empty caissons were pu-llc'd
over on the river bottom. :S little
time was lost 'by these adepts of war
that by 9 A. M. they were ulpt with the
Union column, although* the latter had
trudged along all through the night.
Forrest advanced at once -making the
greatest possible display of his small
force, yet careful not to make an as
sault which mvould demonstrate his
numerical weakness. In cresentic
'line, and at good 'distance apart, he
adanced his skiriisliers until he had
more than half-way surrounded the
Federal position.
From the noise these men made, and
the orders given as to the disposition
and -formation of the troops and the
artillery, one might well have thought
a brigade or two- was being moved
in battle rather than a corporal's guard
of a little over half a thousand men.
.In this dire extremity, brave Col.
Streight gathered his officers about
him, and with them tried to arouse
his sleeping men. Some of these when
vforously shaken, raised themselves to
a sitting posture, stared drowsily about
as if dazed and uncertain as to ivhere
they were, then nodding, closed their
eyes, fell over on the earth, and were
again asleep. Others made no re
sponse whatever to the unergetic effort
made to awaken them. After strenuous
exertion about one-half of the Feder
al command struggled to their feet,
and once -more pluckily rallied to their
colors.
Their commander lined themi up for
one more gesperate effort and then or
dered them to lie down for better pro
tection. They did lie down., their heads
to the .foe, -their loaded guns -pointed
along the ground in the direction in
which Forrest and his men were com
Ing. Then, instead of shutting one eye
in deadly ain allong the gleaming bar
rel' of their rifles, 'both eyes were
closed.
Gunstock and hammer, barrel and
sight and hated foeman faded from
their vision, in the darkness which
overcame them. The 'brave fellows
newre asleep in line of battle.
The exultant rebel yell, the ci'ack
and crackle of pistol and carbine, and
the tattoo of horses' feet upon the
ground as the rear guard and pickets
came rushing into camip no longer
aroused them. The man of Iron had
worn them out. Colonel Streight, In
his ofilcial report, says: "Nature was

exhausted. A large portion of ny best
troops actually went to sleep while
lying In line of ibattle under a severe
skirmish flre." It was at this 'propit
ions moment that -General Forrest sent
Captain Henry Pointer, of his staff,
with a flag of truce to the Union comn
mander demanding the surrender of
himself .anq connand. Tihe wiley
Confederate, knowing his man, and his
own questiona:ble position as well, ex
pressed an carest desire to avoid the
further acusion of blood" but took es
)eciail pains to Icave off that terrify
in'g threat of "no quarter if lie had to
sacriflee his men in an assault," twith
which he was wont to bluff his an
tagonist ever since he used so success
fully in his -fIrst attack on Murfrees
borough. Col. Streight replied that he
would meet General Forrest to (Is
cuss the question and in the confer
ence asked what his Proposition was.
Forrest replied: "Iminediate surrender,
your men to ie treated as prisoners
of war; the officers to retain their
side-arms and )crsonal property." Col.
iStreight asked a few minutes in' which
to consult his ofilcers. Forrest said:
"All right, but you will not require
much time. I have a column of freshi
trools a-t handr-now' nearer Rome than
you aile. You cannot cross' the'river
in your front. I liave men enough right
here to run over you." In a'll of which
there was not one word of truth, but
this was; war, aid in war everything
is fair. Just then one piece of a sec
tion of Forrest's battery under Lieu
tenant R. G. Jones, came In sight. This
officer says: "I vas riding a little in
advance of the gun when, suddenly
lookin'g up, I saw Genei'al Forrest,
Captain Pointer, one or more officers,
and several Federal officers stitng
down on the north side of the road. a
little distance .up the road I saw a
crowd of Yankees. Captain Pointer
called -for me to halt. He then ap
-)roached me and said, "Colonel
Streight objects'o your coming li) so
close; I dropped -back a title. I moved
-back with the gun, and came to 'ac
tion front' with one wheel in the road
at the edge of the wood. Soon Ser
geant Jackson came up with the other
piece and took position In the other
'half of the roadway." Streight re
turned to his command, called his of
fleers together, and talked over the sit
uation. They voted unanimously to
surrender and thelir commander,
though personally opposed to It, and
still ready to fight to the death, yield
ed to the decision, of his subordinates.
The men stacked their -guns, and
were marched away to an -open field
or clearing, but it was not until the
Ccnfederate denerg1I got his small con
mnand between the'Federal troops and
their arms that he felt himself secure.
