ving as escort a battalion of the 13th regulars, lie helped beat off the assailants, and moved on; reaching Corinth that night. But the Rebels did not seem reconciled to his movements, and were constantly infesting Osterhaus's division, who held the advance, supported by Morgan L. Smith's, both under the command of Frank Blair, as well as John E. Smith's, which covered the working parties engaged in repairing the railroad; so that the movement had to be made circumspectly and slowly. Stephen D. Lee, with Roddy's and Ferguson's brigades, made up a force of about 5,000 irregular cavalry, who were constantly watching for chances to do mischief; and, though not strong enough to be perilous, they were so lively as to be vexatious. At length, they got directly in the way at Cane creek, Oct. 27. near Tuscumbia, compelling Blair to hurt some of them before they would move. By this time — Hooker having long since arrived on the Tennessee — Grant had become impatient for more decisive o

lack and White, soldiers and non-combatants, men, women, and children, with no more discrimination than humanity. Disabled men were made to stand up and be shot; others were burned with the tents wherein they had been nailed to the floor. This carnival of murder continued till dark and was even renewed the next morning. Major Bradford was not murdered till they had taken him as a prisoner several miles on their retreat to Mississippi. It was in vain that Forrest and his superior, Lt.-Gen. S. D. Lee, undertook to palliate this infernal atrocity, in defiance of their own record. Apart from the general threats (hitherto cited) of the Rebel authorities See pages 106, 523-4. that they would refuse to treat Black soldiers or their White officers as prisoners of war, Forrest, not three weeks before, had seen fit to summon Paducah in these terms: headquarters Forrest's cavalry corps, Paducah, March 25, 1864. To Col. Hicks, commanding Federal forces at Paducah: Having a for

, Ala., where he had a pontoon bridge, with part of his force on either side of the river, than the crossing of his remaining corps commenced; Nov. 17. while his van, already over, moved through Waynesboroa and Lawrenceburg on Nashville. Thomas says: Had the enemy delayed his advance a week or ten days longer, I would have been ready to meet him at some point south of Duck river. Hood's army was organized in three corps, under Maj.-Gen. B. F. Cheatham, Lt.-Gens. A. P. Stewart and S. D. Lee, beside his strong cavalry corps under Forrest. Each corps was composed of three divisions: Maj.-Gens. Cleburne, Loring, Bate, E. Johnson, and Buford, being the best known of their commanders. Thomas had but five divisions of infantry at the front; but he had collected several more before the struggle was brought to a final issue. Gen. Schofield, at Pulaski, now fell back, by order, on Columbia; where his corps was concentrated, Nov. 24. as was most of Stanley's; while Gen. Granger
