Forrest, with a large body of light cavalry, preludede that an assault would have been madness; so Forrest drew off eastward and struck the Chattanooga enveloping and crushing him. All in vain. Forrest turned on his track, and pushed south-east top the Tennessee to join in the hunt; and Lt.-Com'r Forrest, with several gunboats, was patroling tht. 3. over the Tennessee at Brown's ferry.

All were destroyed. At Okolona, Grierson intercepted Dec. 27. dispatches from Dick Taylor, at Mobile, promising reenforcements, which deserters said would arrive at 11 A. M. next day. he decided, therefore, to attack at daylight, and did so: the Rebels being intrenched at a little station known as Egypt, with 4 guns on platform cars, and some 1,200 to 2,000 men. While the fight was in progress, two trains came up the road with reinforcements for the enemy; bu

E. from Tuskaloosa; and that his rear had been strucuth of Tuskaloosa; and all were moving, under Forrest's direction, to concentrate upon and defend Sson, with intent to prevent his junction with Forrest. Wilson hereupon directed McCook to move rapa; but the fugitives could not be overtaken. Forrest had been driven 24 miles that day. Long's and all, by 4 P. M., were in sight of Selma.

Lawton, commanding the Georgia regiment, was subsequently arrested by General Forrest for misconduct under the fire of the enemy. During this attack, both offisubsequently occurred. At noon of the same day, I was made prisoner by Brig.-Gen. Forrest, but in my then helpless condition was released upon my parole not to beare their prisoners. Then commenced this daring charge in good earnest. Colonel Forrest had assigned the attack on the first encampment to Col. John A. Wharton anith him — the remainder of the regiment and Col. Lawton's regiment following Col. Forrest. Supposing his whole force with him, he at once charged through the brigadeieutenant-colonels, one major, eleven captains and twenty-nine lieutenants. Col.

He was ordered to show him in; and the next moment Colonel Forrest, all splashed with mud and water, with high-topped boots and an old slouchus this visit in order to find out what we have decided upon? Both, replied Forrest dryly; then rising from his chair, he said: But is it possible, gentleme Yes, was the reply. We have just arrived at that conclusion. But, said Forrest, there is no occasion for it, gentlemen. The whole army can easily escape, wispot had he found that was fordable. I don't care, General, if he did, said Forrest; he told you a d — d lie, as I am ready to swear that I waded the river not haape? No, was the reply, it is too late. I have one request to make, said Forrest; I have a fine regiment of cavalry here, and I want permission to take it out. Grant me this much, and I'm off. General Buckner nodded his head, when Forrest bolted out of the house, took his command, crossed the river at the aforesaid plac

Forrest is a man of fine appearaForrest is a man of fine appearance, about six feet in height, having dark, piercing hazel eves, carefully trimmed moustache, and chin-whiskers, dark as night, finely cut features, and iron-gray hair. His form is lithe, plainly innduct of this butcher. He is one of the few men that are general blowers, and yet will fight. Forrest is a thorough bravo — a desperate man in every respect. He was a negro-trader before the war, ther contribution to this true story. Two young Kentuckians were walking along the road when Forrest came up; he called them deserters, and deliberately shot them. It appears that these young men upon legitimate duty, and one of them under military age. The fathers of these youths are upon Forrest's track, sworn to kill him. Poetic justice requires that he should meet with a violent death.

Yesterday afternoon they were in line of battle, and skirmishnts from Grant will reach Longstreet's rear, and that active rebel leader will take to the mountains, or to Camp Chase. Forrest and Wheeler have fallen back, it is supposed, to make an attempt to cross the river elsewhere, and get in our rear. We elow, and will attack our positions on the south bank. A. P.
