About Forrest.

Marshall, Texas, December 1.-THE fol-
lowing might be interesting to those who
followed General Forrest. At the first
days fight at Chickamauga Forrest had
command of Ector's brigade. He rode up
our lines and told us very soon he would
show us the Yanks. As he passed An
drews' regiment little Bill Golston stepped
out barefooted and said: General, you
can't show us the fanks any 100 SOON ior
am barefooted" Forrest ON that day
was dressed in a new gray suit, with stars
and stripes
The next time met Forrest was the
evening the rear part OF our army reached
amb ferry, on Hoods retreat out oil
Tennessee. That day was in charge OF
wagon train which belonged TO french s
division. and think II was the last tram
that ever crossed Lamb ferry. About the
middle OF the evening" before rsarhlns
Lamb ferry. a lot OF cayalrymen passed
me- and my train One In front stopped
and said 10 me: "TIow long have you
heard that cannonadng over on the riy-
er?" (The river was In our front,) i said
"ror two or three hours" He then said !:
.Do YOU know what artillery 1t isT
said / did not, but ! said ] supposed 1t
was old Forrest, as he was the only man
who had ever whipped the gunboats, Said
he: .It's not Forrest. for am Forrest
1 then said: Excuse me; meant no ais
respect" and I added: You 40 not rs-
semhIe Forrest who commanded Ector's
| brigade at the first days night at cnicka-
manga" mo. was dressed up that day. ,
He laughed and went on. Forrest ana
tan halted at Lamb ferry and dismounten
every infantryman riding horses Before
,earjnr Nashville had traded unioI

mules and one bay mare. sold the mule

of the saddle. In his hands was an order
for 'all hospitals medical stores, etc, to
retire beyond Culpepper court house, which
was some distance in the enemy's rear.
This order. we thought, indicated that
they would not advance. Notwithstanding
they had during the morning pushed out
a heavy picket line uncomfortably close
TO u.s. We received orders during the
morning to retire as quickly as possible
and had gone some half mile or so when
Pegram. looking over the battery, asked
where the flag was No one seemed to
know Hating the column, he rode UP
to one Of the caissons. on which lay Evans,
the wounded flag bearer and asked where
1t was. The fiag-beare said: II laid 1t
down in the bushes at the foot of the hill,
where was carried after being shot"
Pegram wheeled his horse and went
back at full speed and soon we heard the
enemy's pickets firing and then saw Pc
gram coming full speed waving the flag
over his head. Calling the men around
the wounded flag bearer he gave short
but pointed lecture on the disgrace that
would have fallen on us II that flag had
been lost. and said he: Let no man here
after lay this flag down rs long as he Is
alive. but II wounded give 1t into the keep
Ing of another"
We then went back in rear OF Hills
division and near the ordnance trains to
an apple orchard. had eaten our rations,
and the men were lying around under the
trees sleeping, smoking, etc. Pegram
was lying on the ground sleeping. Sud
denly heavy volley of musketry was
fired in the direction OF the enemy and
seemed so near that every one thought
the enemy must have gotten in our rear
and run between US and our own troops.
The whole ordnance train. battery wagons,
cts. started on a stampede. Some OF the
away with the teams. / was never so
badly scared in my life and confess
grabbed my hayersack, canteon, etc,
ready to run. The thought came, what
will Pegram do? I looked and saw that
although startled from sound sleep by
! this unearthly din as he arose from the
grouno he was drawing his sword and
/ knew what this meant In few mo-
ments he had his men and guns across
the roadway to open fire on the stamped
/ ing train and they were promptly brought
to halt
In the afternoon we fell back across the
river. The next day was Sunday. jackson
issued an order that all duties except such
as were absolutely necessary for the
safety of the army be suspended and all
troops requested to join in returning
thanks to God for bringing to us the
victory. In few days Lee came up with
the balance of the army and We started
on the memorable march around Pope that
resulted in the great victory of Second
Manassas. A. S. Drewry,

Circular Letter No. lO4.

Headquarters United Confederate Veter-
ans New Orleans, La. March IA, 1S99.--io
All Comrades. The general commanding
Invites attention to circular letter NO. lo3
from these headquarters, and deeply re-
erets that he can not find it consistent
with his views to comply with the request
contained in the resolutions passed by the
Daughters of the Confederacy at Hot
SPRINGS, Ark. in November, 1898. to limit
the number of sponsors and maids OF ho"-
or to one from each division.
AS the veterans are fast passing away
and will soon be too few to hold reunions
even handed justice demands that these
honors should be broadened and eStendeu
so as to reach, now while the opportunity
offers. every one of these noble young wo-
men. even to the humblest, as they are
all active workers for ours and their pe-
loved cause.
Z 1t is beautiful custom and is In keep
ing with the chivalrous spirit OF the ora
soldiers of the South; is elevating ana en-
nobling and is right from every stahu-
point that all the headquarters in the as
ISOLATION should have sponsor anu as
many maids of honor as desired. rms ap
niles to general department, division and
Nearly every dollar OF money which is
required for help for the living, and FOR
care of the graves and monuments Tor
..our dead" is raised by the Survivors OF
the glorious women of the Confederacy
and their descendants, these noble young
women Nearly every act OF mercy anu
nearly every good deed which is done can
be traced to their loving and devoted
hands.
The general commanding therefore feeis
that as they are called upon to MI the
posts of duty. they should also be given
the posts of honor
Therefore he desires the original Gus
! rom adhered to of the appointment OF a
sponsor by general, department division
I and brigade commanders, and by every
! camp, with as many maids OF nonor as de
I sired but with the distinct understanding
! that the reunion committee at Charleston
/ will entertain and provide for only one
! sponsor and one maid Of honor from gen
eral, department and division headquar-
ters. as the expense for the entertainment
/ of a larger number would be too great Tor
tho reunion committee to bear, neither
/ would there be room upon platforms etc.
for any larger number; but it is earnestl!
/ boped th}t all the rest will attend the re-
union.
