In nppronchlng tho subject of Col.
Strelghfs rnlil In northern Georgia in 180.1,
ono is profoundly impressed that thero Is
such n thing as fate, or luck, in tho destinies
of men.
Orlerwon's raid in Mississippi its under
taken nlmut tho Bnmo tlmo CoL Strelght 1)0
gan his trip to northern Alabama anil Geor
gia. Both men had tho sanction of their ro
sjiectlvo commnnders In tho tasks Uiforo
them. Gen. ll(wecnius, indeed, commander
of tho Army of thoCumlierland at thnttlme,

Grierson, ktorious, laden with spoils,
omugia news in
tho north that tho IT?'
Confedcrncv was
"a mere shell." Ho
liecnmo n major
general. Streight,
over in northern
Georgia, 'J00 miles
to tlio eastward,
was overwhelmed
by Forrest and his
cavalry, nnil after
doing nil that a(
bravo man could, i
was eomjieiieit to
surrender with his
whole command col. btueioiit.
tho day after Orlerson's victorious entry
into llaton Hougo. His expedition ended
in disaster. Himself nud his olllccrs wero
sent to Hlchmond, Vtx., to Llbby jirison.
After making ono of tho most remarkable
prison escapes on record in any timo, a year
later Streight rejoined his command with
tho Army of tho Cumberland.
Tho failuro to supply Itosecrans1 army
with proper cavalry horses was undoubtedly
tho chief cnuso of Ktreight's failuro on tho
raid into Georgia. Ho was fcnt out with
troops on foot, and was oxpected to oopturo
horses enough from tho Confederacy to
mount his wholo forco. Tills ho only partly
succeeded in doing, henco tho failuro of his
raid.
Col. Streight was an Indiana man, living
in Indianapolis nt tho licginning of tho war.
At tho llrst rail in tho north for three years'
men, ho formed n regiment of Iudlanlans and
early went to tho scat of war. Ills regiment
was tho Flfty.flrst Indiana. Ho took part in
nil tho campaigning under Ilucll in Ken
tucky nud Teuncsseo during tho first part of
tho war. Ho was noted for his bravery,
ability, and Quo soldierly character.
Streight was at Knshvlllo early in 180.1. In
conuoction with his raid nppears another
namo invested for his countrymen with a
pathetic interest tho nninoof James A. Gar
field. "James A. Garfield, brigadier general
nnd chief of rtaff," signed tho order from
nosocrans directing Strelghfs course. Th'i
order said to Col Streight:
"You havo Iwen assigned to tho command
of an independent provisional brigado for
temporary purposes. You will with
nil reasonablo dispatch push on to western
Georgia nnd cut tho railroads which supply
tho Confederate array by way of Chatta
nooga. To accomplish this is tho chief object
of your expedition, nnd you must not allow
collateral or incidental schemes, even though
promising great results, to delay you so as to
endanger your return."
In a later order Garflold tolls Streight: "If
you dress your soldiers in tho costumo of tho
cnomy they will bo Hoblo to bo treated tis
spies; you should not do this without tho con
sent of tho men, after they ha o been fully
advised of tho poasiblo consequences."
Ono Illinois and part of two Ohio
regiments, his own Fifty-first Indi
ana, in all 1,600 men, wero placed
under Straight's orders. "You will draw
your supplies and keep your com
mand well mounted from tho country
through which j oo pass," said tho first order
to Streight. To capture horsos enough to
mount l,b00 infantry, nnd then go with them
and destroy two railroads, npjiears in tho
light of twcnty-llvo years after llko cutting
out considerable w ork for Col. Streight.
If tho reader will kindly obsorve a map of
tho southern states, it will ho easy to traco
out tho routo pursued by tho ill fated expe
dition. Tuoy left Nashvlllo April 27, 1603.
At Eaxtport, Miss., they woro to join, and
partially eo-oporito with a forco under Brig.
Gen. Dodgo. Ills body of troops was con
siderably larger than that under Col.
Streight.
Brig. Gon. Grcnvillo M. Dodgo at that
tlmo commanded tho Federal troops in north
ern Mississippi.
Gen. Dodgo was a
Massachusetts
man. bom in 1831.
Ho recoived a sol
dier's training at a
military academy
t n Connecticut,
henco ho went west
as a railroad sur
veyor, in which
pursuit ho excelled.
Tho war of 1601
found him in Iowa.
Ho at onco enlisted
qen. dodge. a regiment, tho
Fourth Iowa, and boenmo its colonel. At tho
battle of I'ou Ridgo, 1803, ho commanded tho
extreme right brigade, still plain colouol,
and was wounded. After that ho was pro
moted to bo a brigadier general. During
Sherman's Georgia campaign in 1601 he was
promoted to mnjor general, and commanded
tho Sixteenth army corps. After tho wnr
Gen. Dodgo roth ed gracefully from military
service and entered tho civil service, belug
elected momlor of congress from Iowa.
Referring to tho mup again, tho reader
will sco that thb Tennosseo river Hows north
west. Streight and his men proceeded from
Nashvlllo to Fort Henry, on tho Tennessee
river. Thero they took steamer and went
up tho rlvur In a southeasterly course. Tho
eceoulilo Tennesseo Hows through many
states. It touches tho northeast corner of
Mississippi. On its left bank, nlxmt twenty
five mltos southeast of Corinth, Is tho village
of Kustiort, Miss. Thero Strelghfs forco
united with that of Gen. Dodgo. Tho two
together thou struck oir eastward, Into
uortUeru Alabama. They entered Tiucum
bla and took possession of It, ronltng tlio
Confederate force there.
RosceronH' onler through "Gnrfleld, chief of
stnir," had said to Streight: "After having
marched long enough with Gen, Dodgo to
create n general Impression that you are rt
of his command, you will push to tho south
ward." At Tuscumbln, accordingly, tho two com
mands semratod. Dodge went southward,
swept niimud through northern Alabama
and returned to his headquat lorn at Corinth.
His jiart of tho raid had lieon successful.
Streight turned his oye eastward to Geor
gia. Onco more, If tho kindly render will
turn to his map of tho southern states, ho
will i cito tho important lines of railway that
traverse Georgia anil lead to Chattanooga,
Tenn. Omt these roads went tho supplies
that maintained tho Confederate army in Itn
stronghold nt Chattanooga, which Rosecinns
wns trying to reduce.
Had St rolghfs raid lcu successful, It
would havo been followed with iuiiortnut
consequences.
Hut it wns not to Iw. Hardly had
Streight left Tuseumbla when tho n eager
wns on Ids track. Tho avenger wns tho com
bined Confederate cavalry forces of Col,
Hoddcy unit Gin, N. U, Forrest. They w em
1,000 strong, well and iKiwerfully mounted.
The cream of tho hurscllesh of that region
had been skimmed for their nrinlex, leaving
worthless animals and mule for Streight,
His mount consisted nluiint wholly of mules.
1'ro many hours Format nnd Roddoy, on
their fleet horses, w em up with tho Federal
tear. Then began n light which lasted four
d y.
Col. P. I). Roddoy lind been stationed four
miles from Tuseuiubla, Ala,, with 1,100 cav
alry. Ho was a bmvo and skillful com
mander, and kept tho region allvn with
trusty scouts, who Informed him of every
one of tho Federal movements ns soon us it
wosmnde. Thus ho found out Immediately
Hint Dodgo had left Streight, and that
Streight was pioccodlngeostward nud souths
ward toward Geo, gin.
Roddoy sent u courier to Forrest, some
distance away, with tho Information. For
rest nt onco caught the gravity of tho situa
tion, nnd hastened with all dispatch to flits
trato tho Federal movement. He rodo night
and day to o ertako Streight. This w as ono
of the most luqiortnutuiKl successful f For
rest's cnmiialgns. Ono dny his troops wero
qulto worn out with html riding nud loss of
sleep. It seemed impossible to urgo them
forward further. They were resting In
camp.
All nt onco n company of southern ladlcx
camo In visiting tho enmp. Friends nnd rein
tlusof somnof them had b:en captured by
Streight. Tho ladles wept nud wnilcd, nnd
urged tho soldiers to recapture their lost
ones. Tho jaded Confederates, roused up by
tho sight, wero inspired to new cirort, nnd
sworn to do so. The Interview with tho
ladies sent them into tlio snddlo, galloping
onward again.
Col. Roddey had been in command in
northern Mississippi with his cavalry brig
ade, but early in
the year had been
sent to join Van
Dorn in Tennessee,
and unito his forco
with thnt of Tor
rest.
Romantic Inci
dents am told in
Forrest's memoirs
of his pursuit of
Streight. Thoro
were day fights
nnd night fights,
Stt eight still fol
lowing his oj tiers
to cuter Georgia.
Ho foueht nuil iln
cor. r. d. noninsr, c. h. A.gtroywl ,iropcrly
as lie ran, burning corn nnd army supplies
In great quantities. Forrest and Roddoy
wero close lichlnil him. Forrest had divided
his forco Into two columns. That under Rod
doy follow cd directly after Streight. Tho
other mad.) a detour to tho northeast to cut
oirnny attempt tho Federal raiders might
rank- to retreat and get back to their head
quarters. 1 his second column Forrest him
self led
Tho hottest fighting took place in tho
mountains of northern Alabama. At Day's
Gop, Sand mountain, thero wns i shnni con
lllct April :;o, in which tho Confcdernto cap
tain. V H. Forrest, N B Forrest' brother,
waskil ed. Streight repulsed Roddey'scom
maud, but dared not wait. Ho was up nnd
away ngaiu, going toward niountsville. Ala,
Iorrcst Instnntlv discovered tho movement
nnd sent n force oir to tho Federal left, on tho
north, to head Streight oir nnd prevent his
cscnix. Tho Union soldiers worn gMxjdlly
overtnken, nnd them wns another battle tho
samo day. April .10 Forrest was hi tho
thie'.est of It, and ono horso was killed und"r
him and two i there wounded. Tho second
fight of April .10 lasted from C p. m. until 2
In tho morning of Mny 1.
Streight hastened on toward Blountsville,
Ala, ! on est close nfter him still. Tho
Federals woro soon overtaken, nnd thero wns
a rnnnlng light from niountsvillo to the Black
Wnrn -r river, which ho reached May 1.
BtJis'gbt crossed Black creek, n swift and
deep nllluent ' f tho Coosn river. With tho
lonreucrntes in sight behind him ho burned
tho bridge ver which ho passed and planted
a cnmi'iu on tho bunk.
Forrest camo tip and wondered how ho
should cross. Some women nppronchod.
Ono, a tall girl of 18, named Emma Sanborn,
said:
"You nro Gen. Forrest, I nm told. I know
of nn old ford to which I could guldo you if
I had a horse. Tho Yankees havo taken all
or ours."
Gen. Forrest rodo to a log. "Jump up bo
hind mo, Miss," said ho.
Thoy rodo thus to the ford, nnd rccon
nolterod it under a shower of Union bullets.
Forrest explored tho region on his hands and
knees. Bomo balls passed through tho girl's
skirt. At that bb stood up nnd waved her
sun bonnet at tho Union soldiers on tho othor
sido of the creek.
Forrest stieodlly finished his oxnininntion,
found tho ford practicable, nud in two hours
his nrniy wns across.
Tho Confederate legislature of Alabamn
voted a section of tho public lamia of tho
stato and a gold medal to tho plucky Rmma
Sanborn.
Streight too); up tho west sido of tho Coosa
i iver in Georgia. Saturday, May 3, thero
was another shnrp fight at Turkoy town, near
tho Coosa, That night Streight still Hod on.
Sunday morning, Muy 3, at 0 o'clock In tho
morning, the chaso ended. Strelghfs am
munition nud horses nud men w ere exhausted.
Forrest's command had by this time been di
minished in numbers by Ids sending back n
large forco with prisoners nnd wounded. It
is clulnied by tho Confederate authorities that
his forco was far smaller thau that of
Streight at this tlmo. At any rate, ho de
manded Strelghfs surrender and obtained it
During tho parley under ling of trueo ho
kept detachments of cavalry moving In a
circle, so as to impress Streight with tho
strength of his command.
The surrender took pine at a jiolnt om
inously enlltxl Straight Nock precinct, in tho
valley between the Coosa nnd Chntoogu
livers, utmut twenty miles from Rome, (la.
Forrest marched his nt isoucre to Homo under
guard of his stuff mm n single jeginient, nil
tho nieu ho had immediately nuillnhlo, ac
cording to the Conftslci-ito account. Ho told
Streight flint, "as forago was scarce," ho
would send no morn men along.
The common soldiers of Strelghfs com
mand wero pniolod ind iiftornard ex
changed. The ollli-ers wero, however, sent
to Llbby prison at Richmond, under u
Georfia luw which chargid them with lllier
atlng and arming negroes, some having lieon
found with Strelghfs cnptuied command.
Tho charge wus, however, dtukd by tho
