From the AAth Regiment. 1.

A private letter teceived from George W.
Foster, dated at Lagrange, Tenn. Aug. 22d,
says:
FORESTS raid was unexpected, and well
carried out. He arrived in Memphis Sunday
morning at about 3 o'clock, while the inhab-
itants were asleep, and the pickets were out
side'of the city and probably not as vigilant as
they should haze been. 1t was supposed that
Forrest was in front ofSmith, but he will. his
bushwhackers had given Smith the slip, and
came to town to register mis- name at the
Grotia House. 1t is rumored that he gcb.
bled up few officers, as they are generally
thick about there. He shot Gen. WASH
hurne's sentinel dead, but he did not get
the General. He captured about 300 pris.
oners, killed about 40, and robbed promis.
cuously.
If nothing unusual happens we shall be
in Davenport by the Sth of September
The fever and ague is very prevalent here
now. The entire regiment will probably
number from fifty to hundred less when !,
returns, than when it left Davenport. As
many sick will have to be left behind. a
great many of the boys will re-enlist.
The Sth Iowa lost eight killed and fifteen
wounded by the Forrest raid
