That Dispatch of FOrreSt.s.

How small a matter NAV cause a prest
Pervsrsion of history is shown in an article
published in another column of The Star
concerning the effect of recently dis
covered dispatch sent by General Forrest
from Missionary Ridge to Gen Polk duriny
the movements of the Federal and Con
1ederate troops about Chattanooga, in Sep
tenaber. lstss. The country. it seems, has
narrowly escaped having this message con-
spicuously exploited in future histories OF
the war of the rebellion as the crucial dis
pafch of the war the very point that de-
termined the fate of the confederacy. Such
has been pronounced to be the opinion CT
Cen Lonsstreet. who was the foremos
hSure in the Confederate successes on tn:
field Of Chickamauga 1t was this message
from Gen. Forrest in the OT,inion Of Cen
LongStreet. that determined Gen Bragg's
plans. and enabled Gen. Rosecrans to re-
arrange his lines and fight to victorious
conclusion This view of the case how
ever. depends on the assumption that For
rest was right. at the moment he wrote his
dispateh from Missionary Ridge, Septem-
ber u. in believing that Rosecrans was
utterly routed and was preparing to re-
treat. if possible, from the trap in which
the Confederates supposed they had caught
him- This would be all very well, and the
dispatch of Forrest would probably have
played an impressive part in future his
tories of the war. IL il were not that there
Is living 4 soldier who fought on the Fed
eral side who is quite as competent 10
speak concerning the movements abou:
Chattanooga, from Federal point OF view
as General Longstreet is 10 discuss them
from the Confederate standpoint. This
authority is Gen. Ii. V. Boynton. and an
interesting and important interview with
him concerning the Forrest dispatch is
given in The Star today. This shows tha.
the message written under such dramatic
conditions by Gen Forrest was insignificant
in its effect upon the outcome of the battle:
rest was deceived into believing that the
Union army was doing its best to get away
from Chattanooga TO q place CT safety. Gen.
Rosecrans was preparing for combat ana
had disposed of his lines in a mastery
manner, ready for the final struggle, anu
had no thought whatever of abandoning the
field. So il turns out after all that tn.
fate of the confederacy was not determined
by the dispatch of Gen. Forrest, and luckily
the matter has been brought TO public AZ
tention early enough to enable competent
authority 10 settle the question and pre-
vent war histories of the future from at
taching exaggerated Importance to the
document.

board decided to give the school $500
but the insurance companies kicked,
and it was reported yesterday that they
would commence to repair the building
to-day. The town wants to erect
$4,000 building on the site, and some
unknown person set off the dynamite
last night, which precludes the repairs,
as the walls are ruined. The explosion
