On we went, as it seemed to us, literally into the mouth of hell. When we got to the walls of the fort we dropped down on the ground to get the men in order and let them get their breath. While waiting we could hear the Yankee officers in the fort trying to encourage their men, telling them, among other things, to remember Fort Pillow. (In that fort Forrest's men had found negroes and whites together, and history tells what they did for them). Novel Methods of fighting. Then commenced a novel method of fighting.
