OUR BIRDS AND THEIR PROTECTION.
BIRD MIGRATION.
Gabrielson, Instructor Biology in
High School,

Ing 1913, the hermit thrush appeared
in numbers on the goth Of April ar
were gene on the al ternoon Of the same
DAY. The same thing occurred on the
18th of April this year. and in both
years only few stragglers were seen
either before or after these oates. All
birds do not move in this manner. but
many of them do, and TO be sure OF
seeing them one must be in the field
almost every morn ing.
AS the first day of Mas draws near
the sparrows decrease in number. and
one looks forward to the most Won
dertul part Of the migration. the ar
rival Of the warblers. From May ] to
20 the woods are alive with small,
brilliantly colored birds passing north
in succession Of waves. one may
see many or few kinds il a day. but
the same ones will rarely be found on
two consecutive days. The iirst warb :
Ter to arrive is the myrtle, which APP
pears in small numbers about the mid
die of April. but does not become COM
mon until the last OF the month. The
others rarely come before The 1st of
May, bu. will usua lily be found in num-
berS soon after tina date. During l91"
twenty different species of Warblers
were seen about NarshalitnWn. Some
times in the early morning the trees
along the streets We're fairly crowded
with them. AS these nearly always
vanish before s o'clock, few people ever
see these dainty little visitors whose
plumase rivals in brilliancN and va
riety that of the tropical bilds.
one question that is lftaH asked is:
How many kinds Of birds can per-
son see in one day That, of course,
depends on the locality. the season,
and the observer. During the winter

After the Sinews of War.
But Forrest came u of the Meridian
campaign ready for new ventures, and
after a couple of weeks preparation
started once more for west Tennessee,
hoping to push on into Kentucky. One
brigade Of his troopers hailed from the
blue grass region, and they were In
pressing need Of clothing, equipment
and horses. These necessaries could
he had for the taking In their own
state, and thither Forrest would lead
them, regardless of Federal guns and
bayonets guarding the long roads
northward. Besides, some 1000 and
odd recruits whom he had picked up
on his December raid in west Ten
nessee were In the same plight and
should be supplied In their own state
at the expense of the enemy.
On the Goth of March the whole
cavalcade was galloping across the
Federal dead line and sweeping north
ward. A small army Of Federals lay
at Memphis, a days ride from For
rests line Of travel. but the only at
tention he paid that array, which in
cluded the cavalry command he had
fought with In the Meridian affair,
was to detach a battalion of his rough
riders to watch and guard the roads
in that direction. Meanwhile the raid
ing column rushed Oh to the Kentucky
border. and the advance, under Colonel
Duckworth. 500 strong. reached Union
City on the Oath. By the light of
some burning buildings outside the
Federal lines Colonel Duckworth re-
~connoitered the position and saw his
foe intrenched In a strong redoubt
with a force fully equally to his own.
Promptly investing the place he
opened fire with sharpshooters and
sent Colonel w. w. Faulkner's Ken
tuckians on a charge up to the ram
parts.

and quickly encircled with his feet
squadrons the town of Paducah, on
the banks of the Ohio. Paducah was
one of the earliest posts established by
the Federal government in Kentucky
In 1861, and it was there that Briga-
der General General Ulysses S. Grant
had his camp when he set out OF his
first campaign.
Among the original Notifications at
Paducah the most prominent was Fort
Anderson, a work named after Major
Robert Anderson, the hero of Fort
Sumter SO often in the course of the
war had Forrest turned his pace in the
direction of the fat lands of western
Kentucky. to say nothing Of his darirs
colleague, General John II. Morgap,
the Federals had gradually strength
ened Fort Anderson until in 1854 1t
long line of massive ramparts, with
strong ba~stions, a broad, deep ditch
and an outer abatis.
Forrest was never inclined to waste
his men in attacking strong fortified
lions. He often captured them, how
ever. by ruse, as his subordinate had
done at Union City. His favorite plan,
which had become well known to the
enemy by frequent repetition, was to
magnify his force to the opposing COM
mandant and demand surrender to
'save useless effusion of blood"

with his escort charged down the
streets of the town to clear it of scat

at Paducah were disobeyed, however,
and Colonel A. p. Thompson. with
about 400 men, charged the fort, draw
ing the fire of six pieces of artillery
and several hundred rifles, which the
garrison used with stunning effect.
Colonel Thompson was at home around
Paducah and fell at the palisades with

survivors were drawn off and distrib-

where they could fire I'VE the para
pets.
A Demand and a Threat.
Forrest insisted that he had no inten-
ton of assaulting the fort, especially
when the initial attack revealed the
presence in the river of two Federal
gunboats. the Peosta and Pawpaw,
which added their fire to that Of the
garrison. 1t was supposed that Colonel
Thompson's death shot came from a
gunboat, although the Federals. report
ed that the bullet of a Kentucky negro
brought him down. But Forrest was not
the man TO back u lightly after his
men had invested the work. The sound

Of battle reached him as be rode Gown
the street and, learning from his aids
the unfortunate result of the attack,

followed a written demand for surren-
der. an exact copy of which is here
given:

Paducah. Ky, March IS, 1864.
Colonel s. g. Hicks. Commanding Federal
Forces at Paducah:
Colonel-EIaying a force amply sufficient
to carry your works and reduce the place.
and in order to avoi the unnecessary eff
fusion of blood, l demand the surrender
Of the fort and troops with all public prop
erty. II you surrender you shall be treat
ed as prisoners of war, but IL I rave to
storm your works you may expect no
quarter. N. B. FORREST,
Major General Commanding Confederate
Troops.
The demand was met with defiance,
and Forrest personally r~econnoitered
the FORTRESS to see If it was worth the
blood 1t would cost to reduce it. He
concluded that it was not, inasmuch as
his troopers had already gained possess
sion OF the town itself and the various
stores, warehouses and stables, where
the men could help themselves to all
they could carry back to Mississippi.
The gums of the fort and the gunboats
swept the streets with shot, shell and
grape, but in the face of that the Con
federates cleaned out the government
buildings, destroying all valuables they
did not want for themselves.
All the public stores, the quarter
masters depot aud offices, the rail
way station and a steamer on the
docks for repairs were given up to the
flames. While the main force was
securing the town for plumber Forrest
sent a band of Tennessee sharpshoot-
ers with long range rifles to pepper
the gunboats in the river, and these
were speedily driven from their moor
ings to the shelter of the fort.
