ce depot, on the public square, and opening some of the dry goods stores — helping themselves to what they wanted. During the night, the Yankees repaired to the large fort and the block-houses around the town, taking refuge therein. About 6 A. M., Saturday, Morton's battery opened the ball by sending several shots through one of the block-houses, killing some twelve or fifteen Yankees. Firing was continued in the town about an hour, when a train, with two regiments of reinforcements from Decatur, hove in sight. Colonel Kelley was ordered, with his brigade, to intercept them about a mile below town on the railroad. He did so, and gave them battle at a position selected by the enemy, of superior strength, it being behind a pile of cord wood, over a hundred yards, where the railroad ran through a "cut" of ten feet in depth. Rucker's brigade proceeded to close in on the enemy, keeping up a vigorous fire until within eighty yards of them, in an open space; the Fifteenth Tennessee reg

The number of prisoners taken was near fifteen hundred. They are now en route for Dixie, and are where they will have to take "rebel fare." After completely demolishing the stockade, forts, Yankee buildings, railroad cars and depot, General Forrest proceeded to move, at 5 P. M., north, on the Pulaski road. We camped five miles from Athens.--Next morning--Sunday, the 25th,--we moved up the road two miles to "Sulphur Branch Trestle," where the Yankees had a very strong stockade and fort, garrisoned with a regiment of negroes and some cavalry. At 6 A. M., the ball was opened by our batteries playing the very dence with the Yankee fort. Rucker's brigade soon drove in the skirmishers, and the fight commenced in earnest, when it was continued until 10 o'clock. The Yankees kept a perfect r

The Yankees ran into the woods adjacent and kept up a fire upon us — they still endeavoring to get a stockade near town. Rucker's brigade kept them moving all the time until they reached the block-house, where they took refuge. General Buford's division was still in readiness to charge the large fort on the edge of the town. When General Forrest made a demand to surrender the place, the Yankee Colonel Campbell saw that it was "no go," and yielded to General Forrest's "persuasive arguments." The reinforcements which reached the stockade did not seem inclined to comply with the "War Eagle's" request, and persisted in refusing to surrender.-- One of Morton's guns was turned upon the "edifice," and a shot was sent through it, killing three.

rt. Rucker's brigade soon drove in the skirmishers, and the fight commenced in earnest, when it was continued until 10 o'clock. The Yankees kept a perfect rain of Minnie bullets upon us from their works, our brigade still advancing until it came within one hundred yards of them. When we were in position to move on their works "unconditionally," General Forrest demanded the surrender of the place, and the officer in command did not deem it prudent to refuse. Here we took over eight hundred prisoners, several pieces of artillery, and many implements of warfare. Our loss was not over thirty killed and wounded, while the enemy lost twenty killed and many wounded. The trestle work on the railroad here is ninety feet high and one hundred and fifty long. The entire place was consumed to ashes. The Yankee officer in command was killed--Colonel Lathrop--a cannon ball mangled him severely. Two small stockades above this point were taken by Colonel Bell without any serious trouble.
