while some whites and blacks were
killed after throwing down their

at such moments of conflict, and
there IS generally a dissolution Of

surrender Of the fort at all. The
number OF whisky and beer barrels
disposed at convenient points in the
works with tin dippers attached,
showed that the garrison had been
stimulated to desperate bravery and
determination not to yield. These
stimulations were as much the
cause of the garrison's fate as the
fact that the frightened commander
must have forgotten to pull down
his flag.

Forrest reached Brownsville and
ordered Gen. Chalmers to push
ahead 50 as to be in proximity to the
fort BY daylight on the 18th.
The fort was fairly well protected
and its natural position was advan-

Parrot rlfled guns, two 12-pounder
howitzer and two 6-pounder rifle

consisted of 557 soldiers, 262 being

of Confederates reached the FEEDER

all but one or two, who escaped and

PLAN or GEN. FORREST.

In April, 1864, Gen. Forrest ar
rived in the vicinity Of the fort;
and Immediately after his advent
into West Tennessee, he had been
distressed by well-authenticated
instances, repeatedly brought to
his notice of outrages upon non
combatants of that section by the
Fort Pillow GARRISON. A delega-
tion from Jackson and the sur.
rounding country earnestly re-
quested him to leave brigade to
protect them from the outlaws. He
was told that the garrison consisted
battalion of whites, commanded
by the Tennessee Federal, Maj.
Bradford, and a negro battalion
under Maj. Booth, who commanded
the post. Many of the whites were
deserters from the Confederate
army, while others of the command
had a malignant hatred for the
Southern soldiers, their families
and friends. The people had been
robbed Of their homes, beef cattle,
beds, plate, clothing, money and
every valuable that could be taken
away, while the soldiers had in
suited the helpless women. Many
of the families OF Forests troops
raised in that section, had been
wronged and insulted, and some of
his officers begged to be allowed to
remain to shield their families from
further outrages.
These were the reports brought
to Forrest The story was not un-H
like that which caused the follow
ers of Sewer and Cleveland to hang
a lot of tories just after the battle
of Kings Mountain in 1880. Moth
ing better could have been ex-
pected of deserters and camp-fol-
lowers, and Forests men were nat
urally ia an ugly mood. They were
at least determined to put an end
to the outrages. Forrest resolved
upon the suppression Of the evils
complained of by surprising and
capturing Fort Pillow, and on
April 10 he issued orders to that eff
feet. He selected Bells aud Nc
culloch's brigades and Walton's
Battery for the operation,

rHn PRELIMINARY MOVEMENT

Upon the capture of the pickets
the Confederate forces took pre-
viously-ordered positions about the
fort. For various reasons the FIRST
plan of attack was given over, and
a new one arranged. OF course
this caused delay, and about nine
o'clock Gen. Forrest and his staff
reached the scene after a ride OF
sevenfy-two miles since six o'clock

ONE MARRIAGE NOT A FAILURE

Paul Laurence Dunbar's amusing
stor" in the August New Lippincott's
is about a man with supersensitive
conscience. Because his worldly az
fairs were unusually prosperous he
felt he should in some way "mortify
the flesh" A humorous friend sug-
gested matrimony. The advice was
taken seriously and the man married a
widow, with the following result:
'"The charm and comfort of married
life had wrapped him about as with
mantle, and he was at peace with
the world. From this state his con-
science pricked him awake. and on a
night when he had been particularly
troubled he sought his friend and
counselor with clouded brow. They
sat together in their accustomed
place on the fence.

The following are the number of

Number of Amalgamated men who

fer, $4,000; number of Amalgamated
men who obeyed the second call of

In the next twenty-six days the au-
thority estimates should the mills
idle today remain in statu quo, the
loss for that number of days to the
manufacturers will be $8,33O,088 and
the same each succeeding month.
With the closing of the Federal
Steer company's Milwaukee plant, the
losses will be increased by about
$4,000 daily. The productions at
