Rome, August 0.-Pope Plus X died at 'l:20 o'clock this morning. He had been ill for several days, but alarming symptoms did not develop un- til Wednesday morning.
 Throughout the day Doctors Mar chiafava and Amici devoted their ut most energies to stimulating their pa- tient and keeping him alive. The cardinals were notified of the pope's grave condition and some of them who entered the sick-room de- scribe the scene as heartrending, es- pecially when the pontiff, rousing himself from time to time, spoke. Once he said, ''ln ancient times the

FederaIs Apply the Torch.
Crossing the Tallahatchie River at New
Albany and moving thence through Pom
totOc to OIolona, on the Mobile and
Ohio Railroad, the Federals accomplished
more than 100 miles of their march with
scarcely an opposition.
Their program was marked by a path
OF desolation and ruin in one OF the rich
est parts of the Confederacy. Much OF
this region had never before felt the
tread of Federal troops. Plantations had
been undisturbed and the slaves hitherto
had not been interrupted i'm their labors.
As the Federal troops moved past clus-
ter after cluster OF huts the young and
able-bodied negroes fell in at the rear
Of the column with their horses, mules,
and such other possessions as they were
able to bring away with them.
Gen. Sherman had been explicit in his
instructions that anything which could
be of value to the Confederates should
be destroyed Corncribs, cotton and ba-
con all along the line were given to the
flames.
On leaving Okolona and moving south
along the railroad toward West Point,
this work of destruction was more Wig
orously carried on than at any previous
time. From Okolona to West Point the
Federals found Confederate government

he had come.
This retreat soon developed almost into
a rout. Gen. Forrest hung upon the rear

Fifty years ago today the retreat

brigades to march against them by con-

skirmished with the Confederates. As

On FEBRUARY -, the Federals pushed on
to West Point, the Confederates slowly
retreating and contesting the advance.
That night Jeffrey Forrest retired his
brigade to Ellis Bridge across Oktibbeha
Creek, behind which Gen. Forrest, with
the bulk of his command, was stationed.
Believing that Gen. Smith would move
out against him the next morning, the
Confederate leader prepared to receive
him. Jeffrey Forrest threw up a log
baricade across the road between West
Point and Ellis Bridge.
