e for either party to cross. The contest closed at this place without the accomplishment of a great deal on either side. From this place a Yankee brigade of two thousand men were sent in the direction of Rome, commanded by Colonel Streight, of Indiana. General Forrest left a regiment at Courtland, and with a small force went in pursuit of Streight, marching from forty to fifty miles a day and fighting more or less every day, and had one fight at two o'clock at night. A hard fight took place on Sand Mountain on Thursday, when Captain Forrest, a brother of the General, was wounded, and it is feared mortally. On Friday they fought at Blountsville, where Colonel Hathaway, of Indiana, was shot in the breast and fell dead from his horse. We are informed by Mr. Joseph G. Blount that when Colonel Hathaway fell, several Yankee officers went to him and fell on his body and wept like children. Colonel Streight asked Mr. B. to put the body of Col. Hathaway in a metallic coffin, and send

I will not mention the many delays and misfortunes that befell us on our way down the Cumberland and up the Tennessee, but will say that when we left the boats at Eastport for the accomplishment of our object, not over one half of our troops were mounted, and many of those who were mounted had mules that could not endure two consecutive days of travel. In this condition we moved, in the rear of General Dodge's fothey were reenforced to three full brigades, the whole under command of General Dodge. Skirmishing continued on the nineteenth, twentieth, twenty-first, twenty-second, and twenty-third.

Doc. 173.-Col. Streight's raid into Georgia. see Sergeant Breidenthal's Journal, in the Supplement to the rebellion record. Indianapolis Journal account. Editor Journal: Your readers are doubtless advised of the fact that Colonel A. 1. Streight, in command of one brigade, composed of the Fifty-first and Seventy-third Indiana, Eightieth Illinois, and the Third Ohio regiments, and two companies of Tennessee cavalry, (Alabamians,) left Nashville, Tennessee, April eleventh, for some point in the South, on a raid. I will not mention the many delays and misfortunes that befell us on our way down the Cumberland and up the Tennessee, but will say that when we left the boats at Eastport for the accomplishment of our object, not over one half of our troops were mounted, and many of those who were mounted had mules that could not endure two consecutive days of travel.

, when we rested until daylight. Our march during the forenoon of the second instant, was considerably annoyed by the enemy's skirmishers in our rear. We passed Gadsden, stopping only long enough to destroy a large quantity of meal and other provisions in store for the rebels. Here it was expected that a small steamer would be fnd fifty wounded, burned fifty of his wagons, turned loose two hundred and fifty mules and one hundred and fifty negroes, and pursued his way toward Blountsville, Gadsden, and Rome, Georgia. On the third of May, between Gadsden and Rome, after five days and nights of fighting and marching, Gen. Forrest captured Col.

ur troops were mounted, and many of those who were mounted had mules that could not endure two consecutive days of travel. In this condition we moved, in the rear of General Dodge's forces, to Tuscumbia, Alabama, which place we reached on the twenty-fourth. Here worn-out mules and wagon-horses were received, but not enough to mount the command — there being between two and three hundred who had to go on foot. At three o'clock on the morning of the twenty-seventh the brigade started for Russelville, a distance of eighteen miles. The night was very dark, and the road covered with water from the recent heavy rains. In ascending a very steep hill through a cut that could not properly be called a road, with very deep ravines washed out on both sides, several mules, with their riders, were seen in the ravine struggling with little success to get out. None of the men were severely hurt, but their persons were completely covered with mud, and presented an unsightly appearance. The object

vancing on us, under Colonel Roddy. We left Moulton before daylight in the morning, in order to get out of their way, not thinking that they would pursue very far so long as General Dodge made a demonstration before them. Camped at night at Day's Gap, enjoying the first full night's rest since we left Tuscumbia. On the morning of the thirtieth of April, shortly after leaving camp, our rear was fired into. The enemy soon opened on us with two pieces of artillery, doing very little damageeon, and Assistant-Surgeon King of the Fifty-first, went on the field to look after our wounded, and were soon surprised to find themselves almost in the enemy's lines. Dr. Peck succeeded in escaping, but Dr. King was made prisoner and sent to Day's Gap. Just as we left, the enemy had received reenforcements, with three pieces of artillery. They shelled our rear, causing some commotion among the horses and miles. It was expected that they would follow, and no time was lost. Arriving at a

othing more occurred until the twenty-eighth. On that day Forrest with his brigade, having been ordered by me from Columbia, arrived and engaged all day, with the loss of one killed and three wounded. The loss of the enemy heavy. Forrest falling back. On the twenty-eighth, Forrest discovered a heavy force of cavalry, under Colonel Streight, marching on Moulton and Blountsville. General Forrest pursued this force with two regiments, fighting him all day and night at Driver's Gap, at Sand Mountain, with the loss of five killed and fifty wounded--Captains Forrest and Thompson, it is feared, mortally. The enemy left on the field fifty killed, one hundred and fifty wounded, burned fifty of his wagons, turned loose two hundred and fifty mules and one hundred and fifty negroes, and pursued his way toward Blountsville, Gadsden, and Rome, Georgia.
