n for revenge, but sent no more troops ashore. Dashing Cavalry Exploit in Mississippi--a fighting Parson., We make the following extract of a letter, dated Tupelo, Miss., July 14th: We have recently had a brilliant affair of cavalry at Booneville, north of this place Gen. Chambers, commanding a brigade of four regiments of cavalry, was ordered to attack the Yankee force and drive him from Booneville. Two of these regiments were commanded, respectively, by Colonel Clanton, of Montgomery, Ala, and Col. Lay, a Virginian, commanding Kentucky cavalry. At the outset our skirmishers were hard pressed by the enemy, and our lines ambuscaded. At this juncture Col. Clanton volunteered to attack the ambuscade, and promptly the charge was sounded, and the woods were cleared. The charge was made by the Alabamians in a column of fours down a narrow lane. It was led by Col. Clanton, sans peur. and at his side rode the Chaplain of his regiment, the Rev. Telfair Hodgson, of Virginia.
