vy firing, which now began to be heard in the direction of Corinth and above and below that point, admonished us that no time was to be lost. I accordingly ordered each engineer to run his engine off the track, burn her or otherwise dismantle her, so as to render her completely useless. The locomotive Maury was thrown from the track down a bank and lay upon her side; her links and other parts of her machinery were taken off and buried or thrown into the creek. Locomotives J. R. Mason and Columbia were burned. These belonged to the Nashville and Decatur Railroad. I afterward learned that the flues of the Mason were made of iron. If this is true, burning would not effectually disable her. I did not, however, know this at the time. The Madison was stripped of most of the essential parts of her machinery, such as links, rods, &c., which were buried in varioiusplaces through the swamp. The remaining three engines, the Jones, Powhatan, and Memphis, were stripped as far as possible.
2.-skirmish near Pulaski, Tenn. REP0RTS. No. 1.-Capt. John Jumper, Eighteenth Ohio Infantry. No. 2.-Col. John H. Morgan, C. S. Army. No. 1.-report of Capt. John Jumper, Eighteenth Ohio Infantry. Nashville, May 4, 1862. I left Columbia on the evening of April 30, with about 110 men, about 35 armed, that had guarded a lot of prisoners up from Huntsville, and the balance being recruits and convalescents from the barracks at Nashville. We camped some 8 miles from the city that nveral wagons loaded with cotton, purchased by a Mr. Campbell, and en route to Nashville, were taken possession of and burned. As we may move rapidly, the teams we will mount our men with and destroy the wagons. If a body of cavalry is thrown across the river irreparable damage can be done the enemy. This road (Columbia) is very important, as a large amount of transportation is constantly passing to and fro. Respectfully, John H. Morgan, Colonel, Commanding. General Thomas Jordan.
