warded the rumor to Admiral Porter as a
fact and asked to have gunboats sent up
the Tennessee. He also telegraphed to his
subordinate generals at Corinth, Miss, and
at Fort Henry, Tenn, to send out forces TO
oopewith Forrest in cooperation with sui
livan, who was ordered to attack at once
and did not wait. Forrest meanwhile
pushed on to within four miles of Jackson,
and sent out detachments to destroy the
Mobile and Ohio railroad north and south
Of the place, and also the Mississippi Cen
trail southwest toward Bolivar. The work
was thoroughly done, and on the morning
of the 10Th Gen. Sullivan discovered that
the roads were broken all about hir, and
the enemy at the gates. He had sent for
aid in all directions, and hoped to hold the
town against all corners.
But Forrest was too willy to beat his
brains out against fortified place, with
defenders alert and numbering thousands.
He spread out line Of men, strong In
spots east, north and south of the town,
drove in the Union outposts by suitable
demonstrations, and even caused the
drums he had captured to be beaten at in
teryals with infantry calls to suggest an
elaborate force at hand The scare was so
complete that the danger to Jackson be
came the question Of the hour all along the
Union line; the infantry and cavalry posts
were depleted to strengthen jackson. In
this way other places that the raiders in.
tended to strike were left almost defense
less. The next point north on the railroad
was Trenton, where several hundred troops
were regularly stationed In response "

valescents and detailed men were the sole
defenders. When the commander Col
Jacob Fry learned that Forrest was ap.
preaching he found the wires cut, and he
could not recall his men. Forrest, in person,
dashed into the town, leading his escort
and couple of hundred raw recruits, and
Fry soon surrendered, Internationally.
When he gave up his sword to Forrest
he did it sadly, remarking that it
had been in the family for forty years
Forrest handed it back, saying, Take back
your sword, colonel, as it is family relic,
but hope, sir, when next worn it will be
in better cause than the subjugation of
your countrymen."
The captures at Trenton were estimated
at $500, 900 valuation. The raiders all came
together, and the property was parceled
out as needed or loaded into wagons and
added to the train. Horses, mules, wagons,
caissons, q, 900 rounds of artillery ammu-
milton, 100000 rounds of small arm ammu-
milton and 100000 rations, together with
large quantities Of equipments, clothing
and soldiers baggage, were among the
spoils The shotguns and fiintlocks of
Forests men were exchanged for improved
weapons; ammunition and equipments
were abundant; forage and rations made
glad the soldiers and their horses, and re
cruiting had gone on apace, so that For
rest in one week had Jared well at the ex-
pense of the enemy. The prisoners taken
thus far numbered about 1900 and For
rest paroled the Tennesseeans and sent
them home. The others, numbering several
hundred, were sent on ahead under escort
to serve further purpose. Simultaneous
with Trenton the neighboring town of
| Humbolt fell, with more prisoners After
burning all war material that he could not
carry along northward, Forrest started for
Union City, picking up Rutherford Sta
ton and Kenton Station on the way
The general alarm had called a small
Union force to Union City and a staff cap
tain to organize defense. On the afternoon
of the I'D flag of truce appeared on the
southern outskirts, announcing party OF
prisoners under Confederate escort on the
way TO Columbus While the captain was
parleying and trying to get instructions
from his superiors by wire, Forrest swooped
down on the place and captured all the

ALL ROLLED DOWN THE BANK.
Wagon Overba1ances, and With Team
and Driver Takes Water.

A wagon load of dirt and a team of
horses upset and rolled down bank into
the water on Jackson street. near the cor
ner of South Fourth street, about O'Clock
last evening, causing much excitement in
the neighborhood.
The city is filling in South Fourth street
at this point to bring it to the level of
Jackson street. and Robert Gill drove a
load of dirt along the bank TO dump over
the edge. He drove too far, the rear
wheels ran down the steep bank, turning
wagon and horses completely over in the
steep descent of about forty feet to the
water. Gill saved himself from being
crushed by leaping clear of the wreck into
the mixture of salt water and sewerage
over which Whitechapel is built. The
horses fell in the water, one at each side
OF jagged pile, against which they held
the tongue of the wagon in their founder
ing, and thus were saved from sinking.
Neither Gill nor either of his horses was
injured
