" FORREST OUTFOUGHT.

BEATEN WITH ODDS IN HIS FAVOR
AT PARKER’S CROSSROADS, TENN.

Colonels Dunham and Fuller Send Him
Flying from the Field—He Is Surprised
and Vanquished and His Troops Stam-
peded—I)aring and Pluck \Vin the Day.

[Copyright by American Press Association]

ORREST some—
times met his
match, and one
such occasion was
when he found his
roadway blocked
by an insignificant
force at Parker’s
Cross Roads, in
. Tennessee, on the
’ 31st of December,
1862. The great
cavalryman was
returning f r o 111
his famous raid
against the rail-
roads supplying Grant’s army on the over-
land march against Vicksburg—a raid
which broke up the Union campaign com-
pletely—and was aiming to reach Lexing-
ton, Tenn, and recross the Tennessee river
in time to elude the pursuers that were
upon his track in numerous parties. As
usual with him, he was aiming to seize the
important point by “getting there first
with the most men,” that being his maxim
in war, but an Indiana colonel in com~
mand of four regiments sent out in pur-
suit had had the pluck to act upon the
first principle of the maxim and get there
first, although he had less men than the
foe he expected to engage.

This oflicer, Col. Cyrus, L. Dunham, of
the Fifticth Indiana, was marching with
footsoldiers in pursuit of cavalry, but as
the roads on which both parties moved
converged there was a bare chance that
some mishap to Forrest would reduce the
inequality between horses’ legs and men’s,
and Dunham pressed on, hoping for his one
chance. His faith was rewarded, for For-
rest lost one whole day and night by bad
roads and broken bridges, and when he
came in from the northwest toward the
Lexington road he found his way disputed
by a force" that he did not dream of as be-
ing in the vicinity. Notwithstanding the
fact that Dunham’s men had marched and
countermarched since the raiders had en-
tered West Tennessee, and were travel worn
and weary, the Union command made
twelve miles between 2 o’clock and dark
on the 30th.

During the night scouts brought word
to Dunham-”s camp that Forrest’s whole
command was four miles distant, and was
on the road to Parker’s Cross Roads, five
miles south of the respective camps, and
the point where his escape was to be efiect-
ed, if at all. The colonel now ordered out
his men, sent word to his superior, Gen. J.
C. Sullivan, who was following up with
re-enforcements, that he would “coax or
force a fight out of” Forrest in the morn-
ing, and started for the cross roads. For—
rest’s command was on the road early on
the‘ 3lst, and on approaching the cross
roads the advance was disputed by Dun-
ham’s pickets.

The raiders were handicapped by an im-
mense wagon train laden with the fruits
of their foray, but as that is part of the
trade of raiding it was their business to de-
fend it and to succeed in spite of it, or be
judged wanting in the elements that’make
true soldiers. Dunham pushed the skir-
Inishing with great boldness. The enemy
appeared in detached parties, and each one
of these was attacked and forced back up
the main body. Meanwhile Dunham’s own
force was put in position on a ridge half
a mile in rear of his skirmishers. The
ridge, called Red Mound, covered the cross
roads and the approaches from Forrest’s
position. The Confederate leader began
the real fighting by artillery fire, and under
cover of it attempt-ed to move his men out
by the flank and avoid the fight.

To prevent this Dunham threw out aline
perpendicular to the first, forming an L,
and opened with shells on the retreating
men. The fire was very feeble, however,
and to his amazement the plucky colonel,
who had hazarded so much upon boldness,
found that the artillery ammunition was
short, and only two pieces out of six on
the field could be engaged. “Then this
state of things was reported by the com—
mander of'the artillery to Dunham the lat—
ter, as he says in his report, directed that
officer to do the best he could with his
pieces, while he himself turned away to do
the best he could without them.

The fire of the Confederate artillery was
on the contrary very severe, and inflicted
great damage on Dunham’s men, and he
decided to silence it by a desperate charge.
Just as the column was ready to move a
new danger changed the current of battle.
One of Forrest’s battalions under Col. T.
A. Napier charged boldly up in the Union
front, and at the same moment Forrest led
three regiments around Dunham’s right
flank and charged squarely upon his rear
parallel to the lines which were already
fighting at close quarters. The brave
colonel was now between two fires. Again
his battle genius was equal to that of the
redoubtable warrior pitted against him.

On one occasion Forrest was fighting a
enemy in front, and an aid rode up and
told him excitedly that there was another
enemy moving up in. his rear. “Well,”
said he calmly, “when we turn around
won’t we be on their rar?”

This very evident conclusion came to
Dunham’s mind, and be promptly faced
his men about and charged bayonets upon
the onrushing cavalry. The Confederate
line was pierced and broken and went Off
in confusion. The men on Dunham’s front
thought the day was lost and abandoned
the artillery, the horses having been shot
down by Dunham’s men. This made the
new front permanent, and the ridge of

 

 

TUE SURPRISE.

Red Mound was still the Union position
with the facings reversed. The Confeder-
ate loss had been heavy; Col. Napier had
been killed in his charge, and' his com—
mand, including their leader, Maj. Cox,
and 250 men, were made prisoners. For—
rest halted to reorganize and take his bear-
ings.

Dunham was outnumbered and was in a
tight place, for Forrest’s flank movement
had changed the situation so that the Con-

l federates were between him and his base
and his supports. The latter, which he had
summoned to his aid by the night dispatch
to Gen. Sullivan at Huntington, were
pressing on to his assistance. If he could
hold on until their arrival he could save
his brave command. If not, Forrest would
score another victory, although one dearly
bought.

The nearest Union supports were the
Thirty-ninth and Twenty-seventh Ohio in-
fantry, under Col. John W. Fuller, which
only left Huntington at the time Forrest
and Dunham clinched for the fray that
morning. After. marching some hours
Fuller got within hearing of the battle,
there to be overtaken by an order from
Gen. Sullivan, who was behind him, to
halt for an hour and a half. Instead of
obeying he pressed on with all speed, im—
itating Col. Dunham in his battle zeal. and
illustrating again the important maxim of
war, “When in doubt go ahead.” He was
within two miles of the field when an
orderly galloped from the rear to the head
of column with a message from Gen. Sulli—
van, who was now with the rear guard
three miles back, directing a halt until the
general should reach the front.

At the same time one of Fuller’s aids
came in from the direction of the battle-
field and reported the enemy in full force
between Dunham’s command and the re-
euforcements. Once more there was doubt
whether to obey orders and halt or go on
and fight. He went ahead, and the result
cannot be told better than in the words of
Gen. Forrest himself. After describing
the main fighting he says in his official re-
port: “Thirty minutes more would have
given us the fight, when to my surprise
and astonishment a fire was opened on us
in our rear and the enemy in heavy force
advanced on us. Knowing that Iliad four
companies at Clarksburg, seven miles
from us on the Huntington road, I could
not believe they were Federals until I rode
myself into their lines. The heavy fire of
their infantry, unexpected and unlocked
for by all, caused a stampede of horses be-
longing to my dismounted men who were
following up and driving the enemy be-
fore them. They also killed or crippled
many of the horses attached to our caissons
and reserved guns.”

The surprise was as complete as Gen.
Forrest indicates. The first volley of the
Twenty-seventh Ohio unhorsed several of
the body guard of Forrest, and his adjutant
general was made prisoner. Forrest him—
self literally ran away from his comrades,
and when halted by a Union officer with a
demand for surrender he answered coolly,
“I have done so some time ago, and
am collecting my command to surrender
in due form.” By this ruse he escaped.
Fuller’s men had made seven miles in the
last hour and a half of march, and arrived
at double quick on the field. They seized
300 horses belonging to Forrest, and recapt-
ured one cannon and a wagon train that
Forrest had taken from Dunham when he
swooped in upon the Union rear.

The turn of afiairs brought about by
Col. Fuller’s promptness was no more of a
surprise to Forrest than it was relief to
Dunham. After the repulse of Forrest’s
charge in the rear the Union troops could
do no more than stand and see themselves be-
in g hemmed in. Their artillery was useless,
their numbers inferior and their road back
toward their comrades was closed. As soon
as Forrest could organize after his bloody

repulse he attempted his favorite game,
when ’all else failed, of blufling his enemy.

 

 

One of his aids sought out. Col. Dunham ‘
and said: “The general (Forrest) under-
stands that you have surrendered.” “The
general is mistaken. IVe have never
thought of surrendering.” answered Dun-
ham. After a short parley the aid re—
turned to Gen. Forrest, and soon came back
with the message, “The general demands
an unconditional surrender,” to which
Dunham replied, “Give my compliments
to the general and tell him I never surrend-
er. If he thinks he can take me he can
come and try.”

At the moment of this defiant reply Dun- l
ham was enveloped on three sides, and For- I
rest would have taken him and all his men I
but for the timely arrival of Fuller. f

The biographer of Forrest claims that i
the Union troops outnumbered the Confed—
erates in this fight, but there is internal
evidence in this account, “Campaigns of
Gen. Forrest,” to show that such was not

 

charge by the Tfnion men, and relates how ~
Forrest sent in detachments from three di- -
rections and could not conquer them. For- ‘

 

rcst’s own report says that he fought Dun-
ham for five hours. Now, men who fight
so gallantly do not permit the enemy to
hem them into a pen, as was the case here, .
unless they are outnumberad. Dunham _
had all told in the field 1,500 men. ’,
Forrest’s force was reported before the
fight to number 8,000, which was of course
an exaggeration. He had, however, at
least four cavalry regiments, three mount-
ed battalions and two batteries, number—

the case. The writer describes charge after I

1

ing, as he states officially, 1,800 men. For—
rest lost a great many men, but

his adjutant general having been captured
no rcport was made. His loss in prisoners
was about 500, in cannon three, and in
caissous eight. The order to retreat was
given by Forrest as soon as Fuller’s at~
tack wasmade. He knew his own position
was desperate, for his troops were in utter
confusion on account of the surprises and
disasters that had marked the day.

The truth was that Forrest’s men, brave
as they were, had been outfought. He had
the. larger force and his men were mount- g
ed, which was a great advantage in mak- 2
ing flank attacks. But Dunham’s daring
had told on his followers, who i‘O‘ rht like
heroes. The men of the batter. , when
their ammunition was gone, fought on
vith any weapon they could find. 1

The probability is that Forrest was s3 7
elated over his success on this aid that he '
despised his enemies and expected no sol—
dicrly opposition. Dunham and Fuller
taught him soundly that in wai'it is the
unexpected that always happens.

How to Deal with a Bulky Home.

It is a common thing to “see horses that
have been balked a few times turn their
heads and look back as soon as they are a.
little frustrated. This is because they have
been whipped and are afraid of what is be-
hind them.” Again and again in his book
Mr. Rarey dwells on the importance of
being gentle with the horse; approaching
him gently and deliberately, so as not to
startle or excite him. He speaks of the
necessity of having entire control over
one's self, because the horse, being a timid
animal, is easily bewildered and fright-
ened, and is thus made the more unfit to
understand what is required of him. Pat-
ting and caressing have a quieting effect,
and are conducive to understanding the
animal and the man. The horse is quick
to learn and quicker to recognize one who
can command him.

The balking horse should first be pacified,
and then his attention diverted from the
thing that made him balk. A good sug—
gestion is to lift one ofhis forefeet from the
ground and tap it gently several times
with a stone. “I have never,” says the
writer, “failed to start a horse in that very
simple way, and I have on several occasions
had balky horses which would exhaust the
patience of all former owners.” Another
method that will often succeed when all
others fail is to unhitch the horse, lead him
a little way, then pull the vehicle to him
and hitch him up again. Never jerk. or
pull at the bit of abalky horse. By all
means refrain from whipping him. Those
methods only make him worse. Apportion
his load to the distance to he traveled and
the condition of the road, and never under
any circumstances overload your horse.—

Catarrh, Catarrhal Deafness, Hay Fever.
A New Home Treatment.

Sufi'ercrs are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence of living parasites
in the lining memln'ancc of the nose and
eustachian tubes. Microscopic research
however, has proved this to be a fact, and
the result of this discovery is that a simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
catarrh, calarrhal deafness and hay fever
are permanently cured in from one to
three simple applications made at home
by the patient once in two Weeks.

N. B.——This treatment is not a snuff or
an ointment; both have been discarded
by reputable physicians as injurious. A
pamphlet explaining this new treatment is
sent on receipt of three cents in stamps I!)

and 339 West King street, Toronto, Can-
ada.—-07zrz'stz'an rldcocafe.

Difficult IMen to Find.

I should say the two Rockefello-s, John
D. and IVilliam, and Henry M. 1"..Lgler are
the hardest men now in New York for a
stranger to get at. They are the principal
men in the great Standard Oil combina-
tion, and when they are in the city are
daily at the palatial offices in the Standard
Oil building near the foot of Broadway.
The visitor to this building is received
with the utmost suavity and courtesy, and
every attention will be given to him if he
goes on business; but, though he can with-
out difficulty see the secretaries of the mill-
ionaires named, he may go 1,000 times with-
out ever being able to see either one of the
three named. It is a little strange that
they should be so very averse to seeing
strangers, unless they are afraid of being
imposed upon, for all three of them are ex-
ceptionally liberal men outside of business
transactions. John D. Rockefeller’s favor—
ite line of beneficence seems to be giving
checks to churches and other religious in—
stitutions—Cor. Augusta Chronicle.

When a Ueaf )Ian Cllll Hear.

It is said that a man severely afflicted
with deafness can hear when riding in a
rumbling car“. The philosophy of this phe—
nomenon, as stated by an aurist, is due to
the well known counteraction of the noisy
motion on the drum of the ear—that is, the
rumble of the heavy wheel on the track
causes the drum to vibrate, and in this
way producing or exciting the capacity to
hear. Instead of raising the voice when
speaking to a deaf person in a. moving car
or vehicle the voice should be 10 v.—T0r-

Most women naturally look forward to
matrimony as their proper sphere in life,
but they should constantly bear in mind
that a fair. rosy face. bright eyes, and a

wasting disorders, weaknesses, and func-
tional irregularities peculiar to their sex,
destroy beauty and attractiveness and
make iif e miserable. _ An unfailing specific

A BAXTER STREET EPISODE.

now 3 Stem Chase and a Long Chase
Excited the People.

The quiet and peaceable air of Baxter
street was rent into many long and ragged
strips by a. series of shrieks. Among them
were the shrill tones of a woman’s voice
raised in fear or anger. A crowd came up,
as such crowds will, from between the very
paving stones, and stood in a changing
mass on the corner of Park row.

They had not long to wait. Insensibly
they parted and gave way to a young man
running rapidly and followed by several
women. The young man was short and so
stoutthat he seemed to have some difficulty
in running, though he got over the ground
very fast. The women were some of them
young and some old. All were bareheadcd
and most of them wore stifliy starched cal-
ico wrappers that rustlcd as they ran and
caught them about the ankles.

“Catch him! Stop him!” cried the
youngest of the women, vho led the oth-
ers. “Stop him! Hold on to him, I say!”
and then as no one seemed to pay the
slightest heed to her exhausted screams
she began to breathe forth in short pants
threats of vengeance

“Just let me catch you once, you young
thief! Just let me get my hands on you!”
And with that she sped on faster and faster,
and more and more disheveled.

Despite her efforts the young man stead-
ily gained on his pursuer, although he had
twice to dodge and double on a policeman
and a young lad who made a feint of obey—
ing the woman’s shrill command to “catch
him.” The lively sprinting that the young
man did in that block between Baxter and
Mulberry streets so won upon the laughing
people that they fairly cheered him as he
went, only to change the cheers to a grunt
of disappointment as he stubbed his toe
and fell.

Bravely he struggled to his feet and
gathered himself together. Alas! for the
brave spirit. Alas! for the treasure he had
held in his hand. It was too late! The
crowd gathered close:- and so hedged him
in that before he could escape the women
were at his heels.

One terrified lick the young man cast
over his shoulder. A second later he was
caught by the skirts, imprisoned by two
stronger arms than his—and spanked.

have our sympathies, but you must learn

in your early youth not to steal your
