the attack on Paducah, where a
large quantity of supplies were OBJ
tanned, and his kentucky brigade
increased to seventeen hundred
fighting men; the rout of a Federal
regiment at Bolivar, and the cap
ture of Fort Pillow. This last fight,
for political purposes, has been, by
false testimony, and / believe will
full perjury, represented as bloody
massacre. The wilful and mali
cious assaults of a partizan press,
who have recently revived these
ISLANDERS for partizan ends, has called
forth from DIR. Fitch, Of Iowa, who
was the Union surgeon at Fort Pill
low, a complete vindication of the
Confederates, which has been pub
lished in your Monthly Papers, and
as / have recently published a state
ment on this subject, l will not de-
tain you now with its repetition.
You will pardon me, however, for
saying that / regarded one of my
highest duties in life well performed
when, as a representative in Con-
gress, / placed on the records of the
country a REPUTATION of this infa-
nous SANDER on Forrest and his cav
airy. 1t was said that Forests de-
mand for a surrender at Paducah,
coupled with an implied threat that
he would not be responsible for the
consequences if compelled to take
the place by assault, showed a pre-
determination to -blOOded MUIR
der. This was the form of his first
demand for surrender made at Muir
freesboro, and he practised it after
wards just as he practised his flank
attack, and for the same purpose,
and with the same effect, to intimi-
date his adversary.

quantity of supplies and recruits,
and again Gen. Sherman attempted
to have him captured, as will be
seen from the following kilograms,

THE DEFEAT OF srURGIs.

Forrest reached TupelO, Missis-
sippi, on the 5th of May, 1864, and
was busily engaged in recognizing
his command, now considerably in
creased by recruits and the addition
of General Gholson's brigade, re-
Gently converted from State into
Confederate troops.
On the 18th, by order of General
$. ID. Lee, Department Commander,
Chalmers, with McCullOch's and
Neely's brigades were ordered to
Monte VALID, Alabama, to protect
the iron works of that region. On
the 3lst Forrest started with Blu
ford's division for Tuscumbia TO
assist ROddy in meeting a move
ment in that quarter, and had
reached RuSsellYille, Alabama,
when we received information that
Sturgis, with eight thousand IN
fantry, five thousand cavalry and
six batteries, was moving from
Memphis into Mississippi, parallel
with the Memphis and Charleston
railroad. Forrest began at once to
concentrate his scattered command.
Rucker, from Oxford, with three
small regiments, WIS thrown across
the Tallahatchie at New Albany,
and commenced to retard the enc
my's advance. This little brigade,
under Ruoker, who was second only
to Forrest as a fearless lighter
composed of three regiments, under
three dashing young Colonies, Duff,
Bill Taylor and Alex. Chalmers
was highly complimented by Forrest
for gallantry in performing this
duty. On the 9th Forrest took po-
siti0n with two brigades of Buford's
Johnson's brigade of Rod
dy's division and Fuckers brigade
of Chalmers division, east of the
near Rienzi, to dispute the
passage of Sturgis over that river,
supposing he was moving to rein
force Sherman I'm Georgia. The
scouts now reported Sturgis moving
south towards Forests camp at
TupeIo. Chalmers, with two bri-
gades, was then at Monte Vale,

THE THIRD RAID INTO WEST TEN
NESSEE.
In the first week of March, 1864,
a small brigade of Kentucky infant
ny, seven hundred effective, under
Gen. Buford, was turned over to
Forrest to be mounted, and Gen. Bu-
ford assigned to command of his
Second division. Forrest, ever anx-
ious to be moving, determined at
once to move into West Tennessee
and Kentucky, 10 annoy the enemy
and recruit his command, especially
his new Kentucky brigade. In ten
DAYS he mounted his new brigade,
