to destroy railroad, and bridges, and thus
prevent supplies and re-cntorccments from
being easily brought into Nicksburg. The
raid was in this manner to aid in the led,c-
tion of Nicks!,ug
At first Grant said nay to the scheme.
The first of April, however, he summoned

/ Nilole command COL. STREIGIIT,
The day after Grierson's victorious entry
into Baton Rouge His expedition ended
in disaster. Himself and his officers were
sent to Richmond, Va, to Libby prison.
After making one Of the most remarkable,
prison escapes Oh record in any time, a year
later Stlcight rejoined his command with
| the Army of the Cumberland
The failure to supply Rosecrans' army
with proper cavalry horses was undoubtedly
the chief cause of Streight's failure on the
raid into Georgia. He was sent out with
troops OIL foot, and was expected to capture
horses enough from tho Confeleracy to
mount his whole force. This he only partly
succeeded in doing, henco the failure of his
raid.
Col. Streght was an Indiana man, living
in indianapolis at the beginning of the war:
AT the first call i'll tho north for three wears
men. he formed a regiment of Indianians and
early went to the seat of war. His regiment
was the Fifty first Indiana He took part in
all the campaigning under Buell. in Ken
tucky and Tennessee during the first part of
the war, He was noted for his bravery
ability, and fine soldcrly character
Strcisht was at Nashville carly in 1868. In
connection with his raid appears another
pathetic intercst-the name Of James A. Gar
field. "Jamcs y. Garfield, brigadier general
and chief of staff, signed tho order from
Rosccrans directing Slreight's course The
order said to Col Strcight
'Iou have been assigned to the command
of an independent provisional brigade fo.
temporary purposes. You will with
all reasonable dispatch push on to western
(ucrrcia and f.1t
the Confederate army hy way of Chntta
nooga. To accomplish this is the chief object
of your expedition, and YOU must not allow
collateral or incidental schemes, even though
promising great results, to delay You SO us to
ci!langcr your return"
Ii: later order Garfield tells Strcight: 'If
you dress your soldiers in the costume of tho
enemy they will he liable 10 be treated as
spies; you should not do this without tho con-
sent Of the men, after they la 80 bccn fully
ads ised of tn possible consequences.
