hurried forward at Il double-quck. reach
ing the field of battle in squads and in an
exhausted condition. Gen. Forrest was
able to bring into action ut every point
| a superior force to that of Gen Sturgis.
| He brought all his artillery into action,
while the Union line replied with but two
pieces.
The battle ragged for two hours. The
Union line was gradually driven back to
the crossroads, where they made a heroic
stand.
THE FLANKING OF THE UNION FORCES.
Gen. Forrest concentrated his artillery
fire upon this point, and followed up with
Il heavy line, forcing the Union troops TO
retire. The attack of FORESTS troops in
the rear had a demoralzng effect upon
the Union line and required the with
driwal of cavalry to meet it. The Union
forces found it necessary to retreat. The
withdraw at first was in comparative or
der. but Gen. Forrest knew how to avail
himself of the situation. He pursued the
Union forces with unremitting vigor: lot
of his dismountcd cavalry took to their
horses and Joined in the pursuit. Gen.
Sturgis and Gen. Grierson, aided by all
the leading officers of their command. made
every effort to stay the tide of defeat. At
number of points troops were rallied and
stand was made. but they We're soon
dislodgcd by a superior force of the on
cmy. The pursuit was continued until
dark. and was renewed mt l o'clock on the
morning of the 1lth. The retreat was
over the same road upon which Gen. Stur-
gis had advanced. The Union forces were
halted four miles east of Ripley. where
they formed Il line and took some rest:
hut the enemy was soon upon them. and
the retreat was renewed. During the re-
treat the entire wagon train was placed
in charge of Capt. Buckland. of Col. Nc
Millen's staf'. Gen. Stursis informed
Capt. Buckland that he had but little hope
of saving the train. but if anyone could
save it he could. But the entire wagon
train WAS captured. with all the ammuni-
ton and provisions it contained. Four
teen pieces of artillery fell into the hands
of the enemy and probably 2.00o prison
ers. Gen. Sturgis reached Memphis on the
The National tribune., 1902-07-24

night of June Is. 1t was some days, how
ever, before the troops got in.
THE GREATEST DISASTER IN THE WEST.
This was the greatest disaster the
Union forces had met in the West. Gen.
SturgiSS command consisted of 5000 men.
i he most of these troops We're veterans
true and tried They were well armed
experienced in the arts of war. and were
ready to meet the enemy ut any time or
place. On this occasion they We're poorly
led; Gen. Sturgis was not the proper Inan
To put in command Of such an expedition.
The first mistake in this campaign was in
sending Gen. Sturgis to take command Of
il. But Gen. Sturgis had the advantage of
West Point education, and was the
Lieutenant Colonel of the 7th Regular
Cav. He had fought gallantly at VII
sons Creek, Second Bull Run. South
Mountain and Fredericksburg and Gen
Sherman. no doubt, regarded him us bet
ter fitted for command than Brig. Gen
GrIerson; but the result showed that no
more unsuitable person could have been
selected. He should have known that he
was going out in search Of the most able
active and enterprising cavalry officer of
the Confederate service in the West. and
that he would have to meet him and give
him battle upon such ground as he might
choose. He should have known that to
successfully cope with Gen. Forrest in his
cwr country it was absolutely essential
10 Keep his entire command at all times
IN easy supporting distance. He habitual-
iy arranged for his cavalry 10 be four or
hve miles i'll advance of the infantry.
When the day of battle came this was the
case. Although Gen. Sturgis had n strong
force. he never was able at any time to
bring them all into action.
The soldiers who were engaged in that
unfortunate campaign were not RESPONSE
bic for the result. They had the expert
cnce, the courage and the fOrtitudr neces-
sary for success, but they lacked a compe-
tenn commander.
The failnre of this expedition WAS n
great disappointment to Gen. Sherman: in
fact, the Army of the Tennessee with
Gen Mcpherson at its head. felt great
modification that their comrades over on
the Mississippi River should meet with
disaster. Never before in the history of
that great army had any of their military
enterprises come TO so sudden and 50 un-
fortunate an end. But this must be said
not a word was uttered that reflected upon
the rank and file of the regiments that
composed Gen. Sturgis's army. We knew
that the men and their immediate com
manders Were all right. and that with
competent leadership they would i'll the
future perform as gallant service as all
of their veteran regiments had done in the
past

The nan in the center of the crowd told
the story of the modern spirit of enter
prise. and how it got man into trouble.
This unfortunate said he, was the
editor of small country paper in small
country town. This editor, sitting before
his dusty desk. amid pile of diSordered
Journals. felt that he could easily outStrip
all competitors and be first i'll his field If
lie took Il short trip TO the wide-awake city
journals and got some pointers.
''One bright morning he set forth, and
in due course reached the city. In his
wanderings he came face to face with Il
bulletin board of newspaper. After
perusing the items of news. it suddenly
struck him that it would be Il mighty fine
thing if he started one of these boards.
The thought seemed so good to him and
so excited him that without Il shave or a
meal he took the return train.
He rubbed his hands i'll the silent en-
joyment of Il man who has planned and

1t was not until /: 80 p. IN. that the
Union infantry began to arrive. Col. Nc

and promptly responded to the orders Of
Gen. Sturgis 10 form a line and relieve the

right, were first relieved. Soon after the
forces of Col. Waring were withdrawn. to
give place to the infantry line. Gen.
Sturgis directed that the cavalry with

Gen. Forrest ut / 80 in the afternoon,
having placed his forces in battle array,

MYSTERIES ABOUT EELS.
Enormous Numbers IN a Turbine Wheel-A
Sudden Disappearance.

A story comes from Hull. Canada. TO
the effect that Il turbine mill wheel which
runs Il gang of saws at the Chaudiere
waterfall stopped suddenly this week.
Upon shutting down the mill and un-
Screwing the upper cap 1t was discovered
that the wheel bad become packed full of
cells 1t looked as though there must have
been hundreds of thousands Of them.
About NaIIeytield. on the st. Lawrence.
it became necessary good many years
ago to set up special guards to prevent
eels from crowding into the canals which
supply water power to the factories. And
at these guards thrifty habitants used to
do Il good business catching the eels in
wicker traps and shipping them in barrels
by boat to Montreal.
One of these enterprising men volun-
teers the information that he has noticed
that until they attain Il weight of two or
three pounds eels travel in droyes, prob
ably families of some hundreds of indi-
yiduals. Possibly the stopping of the
great mill here may have been caused, as
this man suggests, by the desire of fam
lily of lusty young eels to pass by that
way.
The incident reminds lumbermen here OF
an occurrence at little lake to the north
of the TemiScamingue some years ago. In
order to supply Il rapidly falling stream
with water enough to float large number
of logs TO the Ottawa River. it became
necessary 10 cut tIfGuEn Il rGchH HdluIdl
dam and allow Il little sheet of water to
discharge into it.
The blasting powder did its work well.
and the log drivers accomplished their
object comfortably. On the next Sunday
several of the men made their way back 10
see the result Of their sudden drainage Of
the lake. They found about an acre of
thick mud ut the very center OF where the
pond had been. and this was alive with 4
struggling. writhing mass of great eels-
The specimens they dragged to camp
were so huge that the cook refused 10
have anything TO do with them, as he did
not believe eels ever grew to such a size.
\ few days afterward a number of men
went to see the monsters. but found the
mud quite dry and not 4 fish TO be seen.
Various theories We're advanced TO ac-
count for their disappearance, as that 4
heavy thunderstorm had furnished water
enough for them to leave for the almost
dried-up brook. Another suggestion was
that wild beasts and birds of the eagle
and hawk family had cleared away the
stranded fish. The people of the country
declared that the ecls had gone overland
to another lake not half Il mile away. for
''eels often come out of the water and
crawl about the fields in wet weather"

the evening of June 9.

THE ENERGY OF FORREST.
On the morning of June 10 Gen. For
rest put his forces in motion at I O'Clock.
He sent his wagon train to safe place
in the rear He moved forward as rapidly
rs possible. with the intention of SeiZins
EriceS Crossroads before the Union forces
reached that point. He had scouting par
ties well to the front. Gen. Forrest
reached old Carrollville in advance of his
column. and there received information
that the Union cavalry were within four
miles of the crossroads. He Immediately
sent forward Lieut.. Black. of his staff,
with small body of the 9TH Tenn. Cav.
who soon reported that they had encoun-
tered the advance of the Union cavalry,
and were skirmishing with them.
