As I understood the instructions, General Lee, commanding corps, was to move out on the Lick-Ske enemy, and attack. On reaching the point indicated Lee's Corps was found to be engaged, and in need of assised out (Loring's following as support), and formed on Lee's left. It attacked the enemy, strongly posted on a art's and Cheatham's Corps, and Johnson's Division of Lee's Corps, leaving the other Divisions of Lee's Corps iLee's Corps in the enemy's front at Columbia. The troops moved in light marching order, with only one battery to the corps., moving by the Columbia and Franklin pike, Lieutenant General Lee, with his two divisions, and trains and art Generals Stewart and Cheatham--Johnson's Division of Lee's Corps becoming engaged later.

It is in vain, in the face of these documents, that Forrest — giving his loss at 20 killed ant 60 wounded, and claiming to have buried 228 of our men on the evening of the assault, beside quite a number next day — pretends that all these were killed in fair fight, or by a destructive fire into the rear of the retreating and panic-stricken garrison ; and that his superior Lee, thus pettifogs the case of the subordinate assassin: The garrison was summoned in the usual manner, and its commanding officer assumed the responsibility of refusing to surrender, after having been informed by Gen. Forrest of his ability to take the fort, and of his fears as to what the result would be in case the demand was not complied with. The assault was made under a heavy fire, and with considerable loss to the attacking party. Your colors were never lowered, and your garrison ne

set by the sheer weight of his assault. Stewart's corps was on his right, next the Harpeth; Cheatham's on his left, reaching westward to the angle of our defenses; Lee in reserve behind them; though Johnson's division of Lee's corps was thrown to the left during the engagement; the cavalry was on both flanks; Forrest, with most ofLee's corps was thrown to the left during the engagement; the cavalry was on both flanks; Forrest, with most of it, on the right. Break those lines, shouted Hood to his men, and there is nothing more to withstand you this side of the Ohio river! Many Tennesseeans were now for the first time in weary months within sight of their homes; one General (Carter) fell mortally wounded within a few rods of his own house. Gen. Schofield watched thbut firmly held till Gen. Milroy, with three or four regiments, came out from Murfreesboroa, and repelled the assailants. During the next three days, a division of Lee's corps and 2,500 of Forrest's cavalry reenforced Bate, and Fortress Rosecrans was threatened, but not really assaulted; Buford's cavalry finally shelling and charg

miles, and landed his troops on the southern shore on the 26th of December. Lieutenant-General Pemberton reported, the day after, that his lines had been attacked at four different points, and each attacking party handsomely repulsed. As his loss amounted to but five killed and fifteen wounded, these were probably reconnoissances rather than serious assaults. On the 29th, however, a real assault was made by a body of several thousand Federal troops, near Chickasaw Bayou, where Brigadier-General S. D. Lee commanded. That gallant soldier was successful in defeating the attempt with his brigade, inflicting a loss of eleven hundred upon the enemy, while his own was but a hundred and fifty. On the 2d of January General Sherman reembarked and ran up to Milliken's Bend. His fleet of transports disappeared soon after. Mississippi was thus apparently free from invasion, General Grant's forces having already reached the northern border of the State. The condition of the country w

Memorandum for Major-General S. D. Lee. Pontotoc, October 2, 1863. Collect about twenty-five hundred of the best troops of Chalmers's, Ferguson's, and Ross's brigades, with Owens's battery, for the expedition into Middle Tennessee, for which, at Oxford on the 29th ult., you were desired to prepare, to break the railroad in rear of Rosecrans's army. It is important to move as soon as possible-and by the route least likely to meet the enemy — to the points on the railroad where most injury can be done with the least exposure of our troops. The bridges over the branches of Duck River and of the Elk are suggested. As the fords of the Tennessee are in and above the Muscle Shoals, it would be well to move toward Tuscumbia first, and, in crossing the river and moving forward, to ascertain as many routes as possible by which to return. Fayetteville would be a point in the route to the part of the railroad between Elk and Duck Rivers. General Bragg is informed of your
