Yankee courage
--The Yankee cavalry which recently raided upon Rome, Ga., numbered 1,475 men, well armed and equipped.--These men ran like wild antelopes before a crowd of citizens, armed with squirrel guns and scythe blades, and finally surrendered themselves as prisoners of war to Forrest, whose force did not exceed 550 men, all told. In addition to this, Forrest's men were worn down and jaded with five days and nights hard riding and fighting.
