an Orderly came from that part Of the field, aud
Capt. Perkins asked what regiment had made
that beautiful movement aud firm stand.
and when told that IL was the Sd Tenn. was
crestiallcn. The firing was now hcavy-the
sound Of carhines and shotEuns making a con-
liuuous roar, while the little hoWitzrrs the
enemy had captured from rs back at OkalonR
in the morning kept quick time 20 the music
of muskgtry. They again tried their faukng
movement, but the 9th Ky. and 72d Ind on
one side and the 81 III. on the other were
prepared % meet them, and the firing was
heavy on all sides, and in a very short time the
field was darkened with the smoke Of battle.
The work of death was actively carried on
until the shades Of evening began drawing her
dark mantle over inc scene. II was in this
last engagement that Col Jeffrey Forrest,
brother OF the General, was killed; and it was
said that he fell before tho 81 Tenn. Cav.
When the contest ended ut Ivy farm, we
moved on with little interruption during the
night, but next morning we Iound a command
OF the enemy close behind rs, ana hot skir-
mish was kept up the greater part Of the daF,
and there was some Gghting on the oath, after
which we went on with little interruption
until We came 10 Germantown. where We re-
manned until the 4th Of March. 1854. when
with some others was sent by boat around TO
Nashville, aud the remainder Of our Cumber-
land men marched through TO the latter place,

Charity Of judgment is unknown in military
matters. Gen. Smith has been very severely
criticised on that raid and battle. Injustice
has been done him. The facts are, when the
engagement came on, and during the greater
part OF the day he was very sick and could not
sit his horse.
One thing has troubled me for long time. In
Forests campaigns il is claimed that ours was
a largely superior force. The same has been
said by others j saw his column In mn open
field, marching along, which was certainly supe-
rior 20 our brigade. At the same time ] saw

ing what information. from all the sources IN
Oar force-three brigades-perhaps outnum-
hered Forrest. His force was largely the supe-
nor Of orr brigade. In the morning at Okla
Iona, our brigade aud the 4th Regulars only
were engaged. Only one regiment at q time
was thrown out 10 meet the enemy ard so we
were cut TO pieces by pieremeal. The % Tenn.
Cav. first met the enemy, then The 9TH Eegu-
lars, and so on until We were routed. Had the
whole command been thrown into action at
once, the result would undoubtedly have been
reversed
Another difficulty was, that when whisky Is

has liquor in him is unfit TO command, aud our

Clever Beggars.

Some of the beggars who infest Park Row
are very bright indeed. By constant practice
they become admirable judges of character
from facial expression. The ones who are
most successful are those who come out frankly
and own what they want money for. A very
common device is to ask for cent with which
to get over the bridge. The other day well
dressed man was approached by sorrowful
looking man at the bridge entrance, who Whined
in a crying tones
"Say, mister, will you please give me a cent
| want 20 get across the bridge"
The man addressed showed his hand into his
pocket and drew out ticket for the bridge
promenade. The tramp looked at it with
disappointed expression and then exclaimed:
THAT amt no good to me, sir: want to get
over the bridge in hurry on the cars. My
