Correspondence of the Nashville Union.l


Franklin, Tenn, May 1lth, 1864
On yesterday morning at o'clock,
Col. S. K. y. Patton, of the Sth Tenn.
Cavalry commandent of the Post at this
place, sent out Capt Grisham, and a
portion of his Company on a scout
They proceeded to the bridge over
Duck River near Columbia, having dis
patches to Major Sawyers, Command
ing at that place; and had returned to
within eight miles of Franklin, when
they came upon a dying Federal, who
had Just been shot off his horse in cold
blood by band of murderous Rebel
gIerrillas 1t had just rained and the
tracks of their horses were fresh. The
deed had not been committed more
than ten or fifteen minutes before Capt.
Grisham and squad came up. The Capt.
Immediately set out in pursuit of them,
and after about an hours hard riding
on brOken-doWn horses they came up
on the guerrillas in full fight. They
opened fire upon them, killing one and
wounding another The rebels were
mounted on excellent horses, and
therefore had the advantage The
squad got nearly upon them before they
discovered they were pursued-when
they fed in wild confusion.
Our forces captured two of their best
horses, and several guns, which they
were compelled to drop in their fight
The pursuit was very exciting and was
continued some four or five miles, when
the guerrillss coming to thick wood
dispersed in every direction. Night
coming on, our forces returned to the
man who had been murdered. He
proved to be Mitchell Flask, of Co. L,
3rd Ohio Cav. He was shot through the
head, and, of course, was murdered
after being captured, as they are in the
habit of doing of late. They will not
meet with much quarter should they
fall into the hands of our brave boys.
The daring of young Thos. Nelson and
W. R. Settles of the above scout de-
serves commendation-they having
better horses than the rest.
A scout sent out the same evening
under Capt. Brown, of the same Regi-
ment, captured four guerrillas-sup-
posed to be portion of those pursued
by Capt Grisham They also wounded
another one, who was brought in to-
day.
This morning an engineer (name not
known, was shot and killed at the tank
some five miles South Of here by Rebel
guerriIlas. A scout is in pursuit, and
the whole country will be secured
henceforth until it is rid of these MUIR
derous Wretches. They have East Ten
nesseans to deal with, and Jordan
will be hard road to travel = to them.
The rebel citizens through out the
county are aiding these dastardly as
sassins, and an order should issue forth
with to disarm every individual one Of
them
Their object is to injure the Rail
Road and stop communication with our
glorious army south Of this, but they
find it too well protected.
