he Federal cavalry toward La Grange. Early on the 11th he attacked Collierville, Tenn., which General Sherman had just entered with his staff and a battalion, increasing the garrison, previously composed of 240 men of the Sixty-sixth Indiana, to 480. Sherman took command and refused Chalmers' demand for surrender. A four hours fight followed, in which Chalmers took and burned the cavalry camp, but, on account of the strength of the works, was unable to capture the enemy. Retiring toward Byhalia Colonel Richardson had a brisk fight next day, and the command fell back to Ingram's Mill. On the 13th Chalmers fought a battle at Wyatt, in which the loss was considerable on both sides. The expedition of General Lee's which Chalmers covered was made along the Memphis & Charleston railroad in Alabama, with orders from General Johnston to cut the railroad between Chattanooga and Nashville; but the cooperation of General Wheeler, which was desired, was delayed on account of the exhaustion

ch a happiness to be able to tell her, but she died soon after the war. My dear old mammy was a type, there were others like her, and all of them were loved and respected by their master's children. I remember a circumstance regarding my friend, Captain Sam Henderson, and his servant, Henry, which illustrates also the love for the master the negro always showed. Captain Henderson commanded the scouts, which were so valuable to General Forrest. On one occasion he was in camp near Byhalia, Miss., with about twenty of his men, while the others were watching the enemy. Suddenly and unexpectedly a regiment of Yankees surrounded the party and all were made prisoners, except Captain Henderson, who escaped on foot. They were all taken to Germantown, Tenn., not far distant, and confined in a house. During the night Henry slipped out with both of his master's horses, and the following day rode into the Confederate lines. Of course, Henry was cordially received, and it is needless

re drawn about the 15th of October to the left bank of Big Black River by McPherson's demonstration, but they are too far away to render Sherman uneasy. Therefore, Johnston might direct against the latter only Chalmers' and S. D. Lee's mounted divisions, which are stationed, the one in Mississippi and the other in Northern Alabama. But immediately after the affair at Collierville, Hurlbut sent all his cavalry to meet Chalmers. Two days thereafter (October 13th) Chalmers' force was met at Byhalia, a small town nearly thirteen miles south of the railway, and thrown back beyond the Tallahatchie: it was able to rally only at Oxford. There is left to Johnston only S. D. Lee's cavalry division. The latter, as we have said, being massed near Decatur toward the middle of October, declined to cross the Tennessee on learning the result of Wheeler's expedition. The arrival of Sherman on Bear Creek calls S. D. Lee to that locality a few days afterward. On the 22d he encounters Osterhaus on
From Mississippi — movements and Plause the enemy. Jackson, April 29 --Dispatches from Grenade to-day represent all quiet in that direction and along the entire front, from Memphis to Lafayette. The Memphis, Byhalia and four other gunboats have passed Grand Gulf. One gunboat is below that point, shelling both ways, The fitting is heavy, and is board here distinctly. The enemy last evening burnt the Union Church on the Natches and road. Capt. Cleve land, with 100 men from Col Wirt Adam's cavalry, has been skirmishing with the enemy some hours. The Yankee force has not been ascertained. They have four please of artillery, and are probably making towards Matches. The Appeal says that Gen. Smith, commanding at Lagrange, states that be will unite the force at Lagrange Jackson Tenn, Bolivar and Corinth, and advance 20,000 men to Meridian and Mobile necessitating the evacuation of Vicksburg.
Engagement near Memphis — the Confederates successful. [official Dispatch.] Meridian, Miss., Oct. 18, 1863. To Gen. S. Cooper: The following dispatch has just been received from Brig.-Gen. Chalmers: Byhalia, Oct. 12.--We have torn up the railroad in four places and attacked Colliersville yesterday morning. Gen. Sherman, with part of Smith's brigade, en route for Corinth, arrived as we did. We drove the enemy into their fortifications, burned their camp, with considerable stores, and thirty wagons. We brought off 20 wagons, took five colors and 104 prisoners. Our loss is about 50 killed and wounded. The enemy's loss was very heavy. Prisoners report that Gen. Smith and Col. Anthony were killed. Reinforcements coming from Germantown and Lafayette, we retreated. (signed,) J. C. Chalmers. (Signed,) J. E. Johnston. [The Colliersville alluded to is doubtless a station on the Memphis and Charleston Railroad, about 25 miles from Memphis.]
