MAKING A BIUIKTE.
Xo halt was made of any consequence.
Orders and information were given to th<
commanders while on the march. Free)
scouts ware encountered from time to time
and when the raiders were within tlire,
miles of the city it was nearing daylight
on the morning of the 21st (Sunday;, ami
Forrest knew to a nicety the location ol
every picket post that would challenge hi>
advance. A body of men under Capt. W.
H. Forrest had the lead, and was directed U
open the road and dash on to the heart ot
Memphis. Capt. Forrest and ten men
marched sixty paces ahead of all others, and
soon met the sharp cry “Who comes theref"
No satisfactory answer could be given, ol
course, but one was trumped up to serve
the moment. Capt Forrest promptly re
sponded, “A detachment of the Twelfth
Missouri cavalry with Confederate pris
oaera.” As the regiment named bad been
on Forrest's front, near Oxford, a short
time before, tbs Union picket couldn't do
otherwise than accept the answer as far sj
it went. “Adrance one!” said he.
Capt. Forrest went on alone and met s
mounted picket. With a blow of hia heavy
revolver lie strnck him to the ground, and
hia trosted followers sprang forward and
disarmed the men on the post in rear ol
this unlucky vidette. The daring captain
now rallied his men sad dashed on to the
next post. In the melee at the outer post
a mnaket had been dfer-hargol by accident
and tbs reserve pickets were alert. The
Confederates wer* received with a volley,
bat shouling lusrily they charged their op-
pooeulM. and by this luireptd act gave llu
signal for a general asamit. Ferrest had
euJoined the utmost Ms-rscy and silence on
all sides antil the city was reached, hut tin
shoals of Capt. Forrest's l and wore echoed
by a hundred throats along the column
stretching far behind and the arc re'. wa>

up to the pioneer I said, ordered his btiflei
to son ml the charge. The rail was taker
up by the balder of each separate com
maud, and in a twinkling the etiilmsiiuitlt
squadrons xeampersd away to their work
Capt. For rest fed him company along tin
main street, rude through an artillery en
cotupmuait, shooting tight and left, on u
the tlayoao house, where some prominent
Union officers war* supposed to Ir quar

The alarm involved tbe whole city. Tin
raiders moved in five tiodtes. Capt. Forres
was followed closely to the Qayoeo Houm

at the same moment and the infantn

body of raiders under Col. Jesse Forres!
dashed iuto the headquarters of (Jen. Wash
burue, commander of the department, aiu
captured some staff oflicera, but failed t<
MH.’ure the geueral.the prize he aimed at
Gen. Forrent now ordered a retreat. Col
IjOgwowi and (Japt. Forrest fought theii
way l>ack from the (Jayoso House to tin
outskirts. At the battery previously en
countered a sharp fight occurred, but tin
Con federates pushed through. The Unioi
cavalry hail meanwhile got to horse, am
small ixslies of Forrest’s men wore eithei
chased ont of town or captured. The raid
era bad concentrated at the Union infantn !
camp taken by Col. Neely aud Gen. Forrest
and were attacked by a mounted force oi
several hundred. Forrest again took «
hand personally, aud mortally woundec
Col. Starr during the conflict.
The Confederates had effected their pur
pofte, and though they were chased out ol
Memphin the glory of the exploit remaiuec
behind them. Forrest lost some men, prob
ably 200, and claimed to have taken (500 pria
oners, including citizens aud convalescent*
from the hospital* After the return marcl
began the Confederate leader found that
his prisoners could not keep up, as the)
were without shoes. He halted the columi
and communicated by a flag of truce wit)
tbe Union headquarters at Memphis, am
after some delay secured a supply of cloth
ingaudshoes. He then resumed the march
and in a few hours sent hack auother com
munication to the effect that owing to tb<
difficulties of transportation his ratiom
were low aud he could not feed the pris
oners, but would await supplies for theui
from the UuJon commissariat and halt foi
this purpose at Hernando, twenty-live mile*
distant. This crowning act of boldnest
was carried out to the letter. The next
morning some Union officers reached hi»
camp at Hernando and distributed tw<
(ttys’ rations to their uufortunau)comrades
and went back to Memphis carrying th<
impression that Forrest was in no hurry U
leave the vicinity. Here was a raider, with
a comparatively weak force, far within tht
enemy’s territory, surrounded by autago
nists encamped only a few hours’ march die
taut from his route of retreat, and by tub
time aware of his presence in the vicinit)
and his condition, coolly sending word
direct to tbe headquarters of the opposing
force just where he could be found at u
given time, ami actually waiting there a
whole night to keep the appointment. Ol
course he knew the result. Smith would
lie ordered back from Mississippi to guard
Memphis, and “Forrest’s country” would
relapse into his unhampered control onct
more. As a deed of daring, Forrest’s divis
ion of force in theI'reflencc of a powerful
enemy that hod recently beaten him in «
fair light, and his bold ride with a fragment
iuto the midst of the armed camps at
Memphia, was marvelous, lu view of the
military result achieved it was a master
