rn down; part of his cavalry dismounted, with the horses of many more lacking shoes: so Rosecrans dispatched steamboats from St. Louis to bring them to that city; whence the infantry were sent up the Missouri by water, while the cavalry, under Col. Winslow, marched Oct. 10. by land to reenforce A. J. Smith ; reaching Oct. 16. Jefferson City-by reason of tlhe low stage of water in the river--one day in advance of the infantry. Meantime, Price had, of course, seriously widened the gap betped, with our supplies, at the Lamine, where the enemy had burned the railroad bridge; and where Mower joined him: when, taking five days rations, Smith advanced Oct. 18-19. to Dunksburg; Pleasanton, with our cavalry, including Mower's, under Winslow, being well advanced, on a line stretching northward from Warrensburg. The enemy was north-west of this, and seemed disposed to stay there: his advance Oct. 18-19. reaching Lexington, driving Gen. Blunt with a force from Kansas, who, afte

W. R. M. Wallace, 4th Ill. cavalry, and Maj. D. E. Coon, 2d Iowa cavalry, raided through northern Mississippi to Grenada; where they captured and destroyed Aug. 16, 1863. over 50 locomotives and about 500 cars of all kinds. At 9 1/2 P. M., Col. Winslow arrived from Gen. Sherman's army near Vicksburg, with orders not to destroy but save the rolling stock; and, he being the ranking officer, some effort was made to obey those orders; but fire had already done its work pretty effectually. Each party returned the way it came. They encountered little resistance, and their losses were inconsiderable. Gen. McPherson, with Tuttle's and Logan's divisions of infantry and Winslow's cavalry, 8,000 in all, was pushed out from Vicksburg Oct. 14. nearly to Canton, skirmishing with and pushing back Wirt Adams's cavalry and Cosby's, Logan's, and Whitman's brigades of infantry, until, finally, McPherson found himself confronted by a superior force, comprising Loring's division and other forc

ver, seems to have been quite ready for the encounter; as he dispatched June 15, 1864. to Capt. Winslow a request that he would not leave, as he (Semmes) purposed to fight him. Winslow was glad toWinslow was glad to find their views so accordant, and was careful to heed Semmes's reasonable, courteous request. The two vessels were very fairly matched: their dimensions and armaments being respectively as folloistant, the Alabama gave tongue; firing three broadsides before the Kearsarge opened in reply. Winslow endeavored to close and board: but his cautious adversary sheered off and steamed ahead, firingsuppose that a ship of war of a Christian nation could not have done this intentionally. Capt. Winslow does not suppose, but states, as follows :-- I saw now that she was at our mercy; and a fas most effectually guarded, however, in this section, from penetration. Now let us hear Capt. Winslow on this point: The Alabama had been five days in preparation. She had taken in 350 tons

ght, came rapidly up on the Maplesville road; dismounting and deploying his brigade, and going right in on the left, with such energy that the enemy were soon in headlong flight, leaving 2 guns and 200 prisoners to Alexander, and 1 gun to Long. Winslow's brigade now took the advance, and pursued sharply to Plantersville, 19 miles from Selma; but the fugitives could not be overtaken. Forrest had been driven 24 miles that day. Long's division now April 2. took the lead, followed by Upton' brigade soon striking a Rebel force under Buford and Clanton, routing it, and taking 150 prisoners. Reaching April 16, 2 P. M. the Chattahoochee, near Columbus, Ga., the lower bridge was found in flames. Accident preventing the arrival of Col. Winslow's brigade till dark, Gen. Wilson ordered an attack; when 300 of the 3d Iowa cavalry moved forward, supported by the 4th Iowa and 10th Missouri, under a heavy fire of grape, canister, and musketry, pushed through strong abatis, and pressed back
