General N a
Porrest.t"ie noted
"western Confed
erate leader, was
defeated at the
battle of Tupelo,
iliss., on July
14, 1864, by the
Federals tinder
General Andrew
Jackson Smith.
It was a good,
SOUnd thrash Tng
that the "wizard
of the saddle" received that day, and
the battle doesn't figure to any extent
in the stories of Forrest's career as told
by his admirers. The biographer and
eulogist of Forrest, writing in the guise
of a historian of the campaigns of For
rest's cavalry corps, admits that Forrest
got the worst of it, but tries to gloss it
over by saying that the Federals refused
to come out from behind their fortifica
tions and fight in the open. The term
fortifications is made the most of in
Forrest's official report of the battle.
Smith's men had no fortifications.
They had an excellent position on a
knoll almost clear of trees. Forrest's
men had the cover of timber behind
which to form lines of attack. A por
tion of Smith's line found some shelter
behind a fence, and in other places there
were bushes and tall, Branding corn to
shiold his men. A little imagination
makes any screen hiding a man with a
musket formidable It may be only a
sheet, but if the man behind the musket
is a good one he can make himself a
terror to the fellow who has to come up
in front of his shooting iron, and return
his shots at random.
Smith's victory at Tupelo was a stun
ning blow to Forrest in more ways than
one. A month before that Forrest had
defeated General Sturgis command in
the same region of country Smith
started out from Memphis to invade
what was known as Forrest's country
He expected "to reckon with Forrest,
who during his march through north
ern Mississippi hung upon his flank
with every chance to compel Smith to
fight in open battle Forrest's tactics,
as expressed by himself, were to get
"the bulge" cu his enemy Smith was
too quick for him. He flanked Forrest
and, got into a good position, compel
ling Forrest to attack him. That was
all .there was to it. Forrest's men were
fighting on their own soil
But the usual dash with which For
rest's men attacked and which he him
self always encouraged amounted to
rashness in front of Smith "s line. For
rest himself described it as rashness.
That was because it didn't succeed.
Forrest's artillery was handled with
the usual accuracy, but it was fairly
matched by Smith's batreries. The Ken
tucky brigade, led by Coteuel Faulkner,
charged the batteries, fighting on foot,
as did Forrest's entire command, that
day. After checking the Kentuckians
Smith's men charged them and drove
them back with great slaughter. Faulk
ner was killed. Forrest appeared upon
the scene, seized the colors and appealed
to the men to rally, but it was useless.
They had to be withdrawn from the
field. Forrest changed his mind about
attacking those batteries and called off
another brigade, which he bail ordered
in to support the Kentuckians. Ia al
most every line of Forrest's report of
the battle are found the terms "furieus
cannonade," "terrific fire of yrenl'
arms, " "unprofitable slaughter." In
the face of all this his men were "com
pelled to fall back" and even to "re
treat. It was a fair stand up fight. Forrest
was not used to that sort of battle. His
biographer said he fouMd it impossible
to entice his enemy from cover or to as
sume the offensive In other words, his
enemy would not do what he wanted
him to play into his hands, as the
enemy so often had done
The Confederate historian of the bat
tle also writes of "scorching fire" and
"terrific torrent of fire" poured upon
the Confederates by Smith's soldiers.
In one of Forrest's brigades four field
officers were killed and six wounded.
Whole batteries were destroyed.
General Mower's division of Federals
received the brent of the Confederate
attack. As viewed through Federal
eyes, the performance of Forrest's men
was just what might have been expect
ed under the circumstances. They were
not trained to fight real battles. Gen
eral Smith's description suggests the
fighting of a mob rather than of an
army, although valor was not wanting
in individuals. His straightforward
story flatly contradicts the Confeder
ates. He says-

could be distinguished separately, but as they
advanced t&jj lost s4 semblance of lines, anq
the attack resembled a mob of huge magnr
rode. There was no skirmish lino or mailt lini
or reserve, but it seemed to be a foot race to
ee who should reach us first. They were al
lowed to approach, yelling- and howling like
Oomaaches, to within canister range, when
the batteries of the First division opened upon
tftgrn- Their fvr.-ft was evidently Trade with
the intention to capture cur-batteries and was
paDantly TnanV. but without order; orgaaria
ticn or skOL They would come forward and
fn back, rally and forward again, with the
like result. Thr- determination may be seen
from the fact that their dead, were found,
withs 3 jards of cur batteries. After abcut
two hours' lighting in Uiis manner "General
aCower, losing all hope of their- attempting
any closer quarters, advanced his Kt about &
quarter cf a mile, driving the enemy befbra
him from the field and covering their dead,
and wounded. Two hundred and seventy of
their dead were counted on the field immedi
ately in his front.
General Alower says that he used up
the Confederates by directing his men
-to hold their fire until the enemy was
close up. He then opened with shell,
cannon and musketry When he saw
that Forrest's men would no longer
come and take their punishment, he or
dered one of his brigades to charge
them. The charge was carried home,
but the Confederates showed no disposi
tion to keep up the battle in open
ground.
On Mower's front the battle lasted
two hours and a half. It was a musket
ry fighter the greater part of the time
Bullets, not breastworks, downed the
enemy. Mower's soldiers fired on an
average 100 rounds of ammunition per
man. "When one regiment had exhaust
ed its ammunition, another took its
place and was in turn relieved by a
regiment with full cartridge boxes.
The Confederates made use of every
argument to take the sting out of their
defeat. The repulse of their men was
attributed to the intense heat that pre
vailed that day, but the Federals were
more susceptible to the heat than the
southerners. Forrest's men were Mis
sissippiansand Tennesseeans and famil
iar to that climate Mower's men were
from Illinois and Missouri. Mower's
men reached the field through marshes,
on foot, while Forrest's men rode there
and were fresh.
Again, the Confederates claim to
have been outnumbered three or four to
one This is wrong Smith's entire
force numbered about 14,000 men, in
cluding guards of the line of communi
cation. He was invading the enemy's
country. Forrest brought to the attack
9, 000 men. Forrest had superior knowl
edge of the country, and, seeing the tac
tics of his opponent, should have drawn
him into battle By compelling Smith
to fight upon ground of his (Forrest's)
own choosing he could have made up
for the disparity of numbers. Smith
took the field in order to amuse Forrest,
hold him in northern Mississippi and
thus prevent his march toward Atlanta
in rear of Sherman, who just at that
time was directing his attacks upon the
city This Smith accomplished most
effectually, and that was victory No. 1
He drew Forrest into battle repulsed
him with a less of over 1, 1 00 men and
disabled Forrest and several of his bri
gade leaders, winning upon the battle
field victory No. 2.
The Confederates also referred to the
presence of the colored troops in Smith's
army. They said that the negroes were
actuated at that time by a bloodthirsty
spirit, seeking vengeance for Fort Pil
low. Their soldiers were apparently not
anxious to meet the dusky avengers.
Though reluctant to admit this, the sol
diers make the most of the presence of
the colored troops in this battle and their
supposed oath to show no quarter.
General Smith pays a tribute to his
negroes. He had but one brigade of
them, and they were not in the thick of
the fight, but he says that their conduct
was such as to remove from his mind
the prejudice of 20 years' standing
They displayed, he said, the good effects
of discipline and drilL
Forrest himself and his admirers laid
much stress upon the fact that Smith

called "it a hasty retreat They also
spoke of energetic pursuit. The fact is
that Smith on two or three occasions

all that the southern leader risked.
Smith made his way leisurely back to
Memphis, and tht real reason of his ret

supplies of ranous and ammunition
were low The Lrcad-which had been
brought along had been spoiled, and his
soldiers were upon the point of starva

He had defeated him in open battle in

A TRAGEDY BY EAR.
"We happened to come out of the club
together, and so I walked along the
boulevard with M. Maroux, a man with
a kindly face, but marked with an in
finite melancholy.
"Will you wait a minute for me?"
said I as we reached the postofSce. "I
wish to go in and telephone."
He started at the last word, and I
saw his grip tighten on his cane When
I returned, he still seemed nervous, and
to break an uncomfortable silence 1
made some commonplace remark about
what a marvelous inventira the tele
phone was and what inestimable serv
ices the progress of science was doing
us every day.
"Do you. think so? replied M. Ma
roux in a tone of bitter irony. "It seems
to me, on the contrary, that science,
far from aiding us, only emphasizes our
human weakness and cruelly multiplies
the means that can cause us suffering.
But you will understand me better if I
give you an example of what I mean
from my own experience:
' 'I was spending my autumn vacation
with Louise, my wife, and MarceLniy
little son, at my country place at Mo
rande. which. I had just bought. It was
in the country about three leagues out
of Marseilles. Nanette, our old servant,
was both housekeeper and cook. Blaise,
who was devoted to me. delighted at be
ing once mare near the city where his
worthy old mother lived, fulfilled the
functions of gardener and had his quar
ters in a detached outhouse
"With my gun on my arm and my
two dogs at my heels I used to wander
about all day with, my wife and baby in
that delightful solitude To make
amends for our isolation, I had a tele
phone line put up to connect with the
central office at Marseilles, and by it ev
ery evening, as I sat in my bedchamber,
J could learn what had been done dur
ing the day at my factory in Paris.
4 Our peaceful life was interrupted by
a notice from my superintendent. By
mnlnng' personal application I could
probably obtain an important govern
ment order. The weather was so fine
and Marcel seemed so well that Louise
decided to wait fcr me atMcrande. But
on the eve of my departure for Paris
the rain fell in torrents. "When the
hired vehicle arrived before my door, at
sight of the Immense blackness of the
fields and woods I felt a sudden grip
ping at my heart.
41 'You will be away only two nights,
Louise reassured me. 'Nanette will
sleep near my ruom. Blaise has your
gun, and from the house where he
sleeps he could hear us call, and the
dogs are an excellent guard. "What
could happen to us?
4 'I kissed Louise and Marcel and start
ed on my journey. On the train I passed
a- most imeasy night, and I had no soon
er reached Paris than I jumped out of
the carriage and hastened to a telephone
office Communication being establish
ed, I heard, nasal and muffled, but still
verv sweet to me, the voice of my wife
44 'Hellol' I called. 4How did you
pass the night. Louise? "Were you very
frightened?'
41 4 Yes, a little Xanetre especially.
"We did not get to slet p until almost
daybreak because Nanette thought she
heard steps in the garden. The dogs,
which we had forgotten to untie, had
been barking a long time. At last we
opened the window and called Blaise.
He took the gun. loosed the dogs and
made a tour of the house, but he did
not find anything suspicious. Baby,
who did not suspect anything, the fine
little fellow, has waked up and is call
ing me. Goodby. If you have a moment
before dinner, call me up again.
"Only half reassured, I plunged into
the business in hand and was not able
to go to the telephone again until after
S o'clock. I had to call a long 'time
44 'Hello I Hello! I called. -Why don't
vou answer, Louise? "What is the mat
ter?' 44 'Something we did not- expect thi
afternoon. The shutters had been fas
tened, the, dogs untied, and Nanette had
pu up a bed for Blaise in the hall, in
order to save us the terrors of last night,
when a boy from the village brought a
note far Blaise. His mother has sudden
ly been taken very ilL and she wanted
him to come to her immediately. The
boy, whom we had never seen before,
went away; again as soon as he had de
livered the note, without giving us any
further information. Blaise, who adores
his mother, was quite upset. He did
not want to leave us, alem before day-
light, hut his scaowful face told how
dearly tie delay would cose him. I
thought that if this woman (lies tonight
I shall have prevented poor Blaise from
receiving her last blessing. So I over
came my scruples and made hirn go.
He proniist?d to return this evening, and
to save rime he will drive back. I have
just bolted the doors after nfm. That
is why I kept you waiting. Now, haw
is that business affair getting along?
" 'Very welt; but let us talk about
yourself You should not have Ie t Blaise

return before 10 or 11 o'clock. My sole
coaiideEce was in knowing that he was
near you, and now lie is gone And
then, that boy who ran away before you
had time to- tMnk cf TnnTrmg sure Hs
news was true I At any rate Blaise has
left you the two dogs and the gun, has

"'The two dogs are asleep on the
porch. As far the gun, Blaise must

night to you. Listen."
44 'Good night, papa, good night"
" 'Good night, my darlings. I must
get a bite of dinner now, and then I
will call you again.'
"Once outside I felt oppressed with
what my wife had just told me I had
dissimulated my own anxiety in order
not to add to her fears, but that uneasi
ness, which had hardly been quieted by
the first conversation, now waxed stron
ger at the thought of this strange, in
credible letter which had taken away
my wife's one defender, the only man
in the house. My thoughts took so dark
a turn that by the time I reached the
hotel I could not swallow a mouthfuL I
left the table to return to the-telephone
office, but my agent found me and laid j
before me a lot of details which were
essential to the success of my venture 1
could not dismiss him immediately, and
it was late when. I re-entered the tele
phone office- My heart throbbed with
impatience and my hand trembled so
that I could scarcely hold the receiver
to my ear. It was some seconds before 1
could hear anything.
44 'Hello, Louise, hellol' I cried. 'Are
you there? Answer me.
44 At hist I heard her voice, but it was
low, oppressed, filled with terror.
4 4 4 Oh, it's you. at last I Par the last
hour I have been nearly crazed. I could
not find the gun that boy must have
stolen it when he went away. "Blaise

am losing my headl I can. scarcely
breathe for terror I think I hear in
the garden far away "Wait while I

" Clutching at the box for support, I
could only cry, 'Louise, I beg of you,
do not leave me in this silence what
do you hear?
44 4 The dogs arc growling now they
are barking barking furiously. They
have run. to the bottom of the garden
now, suddenly they are still. There is a
deathly silence But yes, it sounds like
muffled footsteps on the pebbled walk
as if some one were aiming toward

44 'Go on, speak, Louise! I am stran

sound, as if a chisel were being slipped

agony. 'Telephone to Marseilles,' I
cried, 'to warn the police!

"There were two muffled cries of ter
ror, then a vague, confused noise, then
a jumble of indefinable sounds, then
silence Something seemed to crack in
my brain, and I fell unconscious. "
Gasping as if he had lived through
this terrible scene again, M. Maroux
concluded: "From Le Gazette Judi
