Buford attacked Athens (Oct. 2-3), which General Granger had regarrisoned with the 73d Indiana Regiment, and was repulsed. Forrest had pushed on to Columbia, on the Duck River, with 3,000 men, but did not attack, for he met Rousseau, with 4,000 men, coming down from Nashville. At the same time, Gen. C. C. Washburne was moving up the Tennessee on steamers, with 4,000 troops, 3,000 of them cavalry, to assist in capturing the invaders. Several other leaders of the National troops, under the command of General Thomas, who had then arrived at Nashville, joined in the hunt for Forrest. He saw his peril, Map of scene of some of Forrest's operations. and, paroling his prisoners (1,000), he destroyed 5 miles of the railway south from the Duck River, and escaped over the Tennessee (Oct. 6), at Bainbridge, with very little loss.

in the Retaliation, was cruising off Guadeloupe, W. I., late in 1798, when he fell in with a French squadron, which he took to be British vessels. When he discovered his mistake it was too late to avoid trouble, and two French frigates (Volontaire and L'Insurgente) attacked and captured the Retaliation. the Insurgente was one of the swifest vessels on the ocean. She immediately made chase after two American ships. Bainbridge was a prisoner on the Volontaire. What are the armaments of the two vessels? asked the French commander, as he and Bainbridge were watching the Insurgente gaining on the Americans. He quickly replied, Twenty-eight 12's and twenty 9's. This was double the force, and startled the commander, who was senior captain of the Insurgente. He immediately signalled his vessel to give up the chase, and the Americans escaped. Bainbridge's deceptive reply cost him only a few curses. the Retaliation was the first vessel captured during the war. See Bainbridge, William.
