Wheeler's cavalry, at the house of a man who had a son in Forrest's command. Starting the next morning betimes, he reached ward Ratcliffe's. Stopping at Perryear's, he was told that Forrest was in Franklin, that the roads were all guarded, and thatrroborated Perryear's statement, saying, furthermore, that Forrest was very strict, and that it would be much better for him rch. By this time Wheeler had come up and taken the lead, Forrest following in the centre, and Stearns bringing up the rear. night, and our hero slept under the same blanket with Captain Forrest and his lieutenant, --a Texan ranger named Scott, whossiness at Nashville-came in from the Cumberland river. Captain Forrest introduced Newcomer to him as a man after his own heare cotton-burners. More recently he had been employed with Forrest; and now he had just come from Harpeth Shoals, where he hach was resumed, and at the crossing of the Hardin pike General Forrest and staff were found waiting for them. Upon coming up

called to Miss Cushman, he detailed her guard to another special duty, and took her under his own care and watch, and she enjoyed his gallant attentions until they reached Hillsboro, where she was handed over to another scout to be taken to General Forrest's headquarters. During the long ride which ensued she concocted another nice little scheme for escape. Knowing that General Rosecrans was much dreaded by the rebels in that part of the country, who hardly knew where they might next expecs in the saddle, and proceeding on her journey, under the care of her scouts, who evinced more than usual watchfulness over her. She was first taken to General Morgan, who received her with his wonted courteousness, and he accompanied her to General Forrest's headquarters. That celebrated chief, after a trying examination, sent her, under guard, to General Bragg. On arriving at Shelbyville, she was shown at once to the general's headquarters, which were in the heart of the camp. On entering

and crossing with his goods in a canoe, he journeyed on, and passed the night at a house about six miles beyond Columbia, having previously fallen in with some of Forrest's men going to Columbia. The next morning he started for Shelbyville, where he arrived in due season. The occurrences there and in the subsequent portions of thd. I made my way on to Shelbyville, and then I got a pass from the provost-marshal-a Major Hawkins--to Columbia, where I arrived on Sunday morning. There I found Forrest and his command had crossed Duck river on their way to Franklin. As I started from the Nelson hotel to the provost-marshal's office, I was arrested on the squareo. At Hillsboro I met a friend by the name of Parkham, who guided me within five miles of Franklin, where I arrived at daylight this morning. On Friday last Colonel Forrest passed through Columbia with his force (three thousand strong), and six pieces of artillery, to s Decatur, Alabama. One regiment went to Florence. The whole

into Nashville. On his next trip southward he was arrested by Colonel John T. Morgan, just as he came out of the Federal lines, and, as his only resort, joined Forrest's command, and was furnished with a horse and gun. The next day Forrest made a speech to his men, and told them that they were now going to capture Nashville. ThForrest made a speech to his men, and told them that they were now going to capture Nashville. The column immediately began its march, and Morford, by some means, managed to have himself placed in the advance. Two miles below Lavergne a halt for the night was made; but Morford's horse was unruly, and could not be stopped, carrying its rider ahead and out of sight. It is needless to say that this obstinacy was not overcome until Nashville was reached, nor that, when Forrest came the next day, General Negley was amply prepared for him. At this time Nashville was invested. Buell was known to be advancing toward the city, but no scouts had been able to go to or come from him. A handsome reward was offered to any one who would carry a despatch safely

hen the scout, saying, Ye kin reckon on gittina sich brandy, giniral, as wull sot ye up so high ye'll nuver come down agin, walked leisurely out of the rebel lines. Once, while scouting near McMinnville, Bible was captured by a small party of Forrest's cavalry. One of the Confederates knew him, and he was told he must die. Throwing a rope over the limb of a tree, they adjusted it about his neck, and the rebel officer, taking out his watch, said to him: You can have five minutes to say your erate officer still stood with his watch in his hand. At last, turning suddenly away, he said to his men: Take off the rope! Take him to the general. He may do what he likes with him. I'll be d-d if I'll hang him. Before they reached Forrest's headquarters at McMinnville, they were set upon by a squad of Union cavalry, who rescued the prisoner, captured a half dozen of the privates, and gave the captain a mortal wound in the side. Bible laid him upon the grass, and, taking his head
