Gholson arrived with some fresh State troops, new levies hastily gathered, and took the place of Forrest's men — following up the Yankees for a great distance, harassing them, capturing and killing and wounding many, and picking up arms, wagons, horses, and a great variety of other valuable property thrown away by the enemy in his wild flight.
