A heavy case of Swindling.
--The Rome (Ga.) Courier, noticing the arrival there of the prisoners captured by Gen. Forrest, says:
The prisoners generally were remarkably impudent and insulting — especially the officers.
One of their officers — a Major — was publicly cursing Gen. Forrest on the streets for a scoundrel and a rascal, stating that when Forrest demanded a surrender, (the Yankee negotiators were trying to get the best terms possible,) Forrest appeared suddenly to get very mad; swore he would wait no longer; that he would rather kill the whole of them than not; ordered his couriers immediately to direct the commanders of four separate batteries to place them on separate points of hills; and ordered the commanders of four separate regiments to be formed immediately at particular points in line of battle; and that the couriers actually dashed off as though they were going to have these orders executed; and as they dashed off Forrest told them his signal gun would be<
