Desperate Fight of Forrest "a
Treacherous Enemy.

The Huntsville Advocate gives the
particulars OF desperate fight which
Gen. Forrest had at Parkcr's Cross
Roads, about 30 miles northwest OF
Lexington, Tonn., on the 3lst ult., u.s.
he was returning from his successful
expedition in West Tennessee. He
met seven full regiments Of the Abol.
tionists, who raised tho white flag in
token of surrender.
ale approached to receive their arms,
when another heavy column, OF lO reg.
iments, came on his flank and rear and
began to fire on his men, and the por.
ton, who had raised the white flag,
treacherousy joined in the firing The
gallant Forrest and his brave men re-
turned the fire vigorously. They had
only ten rounds OF ammunition, fired
six rounds and then fought their way
out, with a loss Of sou in killed, woun
ded and missing. The killed are csti-
mated at about so, the wounded AT $50
to 2OO-the rest are prisoners. The
wounded also fell into the hands of tho
enemy.
"IL is said, that, in fighting their
way out, our brave troops massed them.
selves in solid column and charged tho
cnemy's column that had come upon
their rear. The cool and intrepid For.
rest remained in their rear to collect
his scattered men and bring them out,
and the enemy closed up their column,
after the most Of Forests men had
passed through, and came very near
catching him. He escaped by riding
at full speed along a ravine and leaping
his horse over ten rail fence. One,
who witnessed his escape, said, that the
last he saw of Forrest, he was flying
over the fence, lying fiat on his horse
and hundreds of bullets were flying
after him. One bullet passed through
his hat. Strange to say, not one man
was lost in fighting their way out.
"Forlest went over with about $500
men and came back with about 5000.
Besides losing 500 men, one Of his
mountain howitzers burst in the last
fight, and the enemy captured three,
leaving him 6 cannon, his original
number. He crossed Tennessee river
at and near Clifton, Tenn u little
northeast Of Lexington, on Tuesday
night and Friday morning, and camped
at Clifton until Sunday morning The
enemy came, 5000 tlong, Saturday
afternoon, and formed line of battIe,
and some fighting took place across the
river, which was 300 yards wide. For
rest brought his artillery to bear ON
the Abolitionists and they retired"

tons are that the rebels will be in sight
by tomorrow, and in the absence OF
troops to check the advance of the re-

AS fast as the troops reach here they

The attempts to get.troops from Wash

of the State must be directed toward ar
resting the progress of the rebels.
