Cavalry Exploit.

Tile Chattanooga Rebel, Of the l4th,
says We learn that successful as
sault was made upon Gen. Jefferson
G. Davis division, stationed in and
around Franklin, on yesterday morning
at aasHreak. The attack was led by
Gen. Forrest himself with his usual
dash and daring, the Yankees were
scattered in all directions, and before
ten o'clock were in full retreat to ward
Nashville. So say the rumors, which
reach us by the evening train. # the
whole of this is correct-and we have
no reason to doubt its authenticity
it entirely breaks the force of the re-
pulse from Fort Donelson, and proves
that Forrest and his merry mel are
irresistible in the long ron, and never
repressible.
