tant-General: I herewith transmit a report of the raid of General Forrest, of the rebel army, on the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, and the attack upon Trenton and Humboldt, on the twentieth of December, 1862. Some eight days previous to the attack I received a telegraphic despatch from Major-General Grant, giving information fro, unless accompanied by artillery. Forrest's demonstration toward Jackson, with a portion of his force, was merely a feint — his main object being Trenton and Humboldt, and the Memphis and Ohio Railroad, with a view to cut off General Grant's supplies. Learning from my scouts, on Friday morning, the nineteenth, that the main feen killed and fifty wounded. Our loss was one man killed, a private of the One Hundred and Twenty-second Illinois infantry--none wounded. The enemy burned the depots at Trenton and Humboldt, and all the stores on hand that they could not carry away. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, Jacob Fry, Colonel Commanding.
