TIE correspondent Of the ST. Louis Democrat
gives the following account of the massacre at
Fort Pillow
After the rebels we've in undisputed possession
of the fort and the survivors had surrendered
they commenced the indiScriminate bntchery Of
all the federal soldiery, The coiored soldiers
threw down their guns and raised their arms in
token of surrender, but not the least attention
was paid to it. They continued to shoot down
all they found, A number of them. finding no
quarter was given ran over the bluff to tho
river, and tried to conceal themselves under the
bank and in the bushes, were pursued by the
rebel savages, and implored them to spare their
lives. Their appeals were made in vain, and
they were all shot down in cold blood, and in
full sight Of the gunboat. The rebels chased
and shot them down as they would dogs.
q passed up the bank of the river and counted
fifty dead strewed along. One had crawled into
hollow log and was killed in it, another had
got over the bank in the river, and got ON TO 3
board that run out into the water He lay on it
on his face, with his feet in the water. He laid

tried TO hide in creyices made by the falling bank,
and could not be seen without difficulty, but
they were singled out and killed.
From the best information could get, the
white soldiers were, to q considerable extent,
treated in the same way. One of the Thirteenth
Tennessee-D. w. Harrison-informs me that
after the surrender he was below the bluff, and
one of the rebels presented pistol to shoot him.
He told him he had surrendered and requested
him not to fire. He spared him, and directed
him to 60 up the bluff to the fort. Harrison
