" For The Chieaao Tribune, , Couusmer, O., July 10.-+Ilaving no desire toremain In Memphis after’ Johnson had stolen a march on mo and gone to Vicks- bure, I was directed by Capt. Fuller to go to Tlenderson, Tenn., on the line of the Mobile & Qhlo Road, and relisyo Mr, Jow Blah, who In turn was ordered to Corinth. There was mighty little at Henderson ,to attract any one save Joe, who would apparently have been satisfied to have lived and died right there, could he have won the affections of n very pretty young Indy who resided In the Immediate vicinity, There were but two companies of Infantry at the post, and, becoming decidedly lonesome, t made speciat endeavers to get Into the gaat eraces of Jou’s girl, but it was of no use, ‘The fact that I had taken hls place and that he hind been sent away had evidently: been charged against me; and the little boy who had for a long Une carried notes and many delicacies between her house and the oflice, was out of business after Jou’s departure, At Germantown {t had been my gout fort- une to make many friends with the officers and men; the quarters were good, and by povling with the Conunissary and Quarter- master we lived high, so tv speak, W. A. Thayer, who had relivved mo fn April, scemed to be an especial favorit of the Superintendent for a time, Ile wasa dandy boy by birth and erluention; he played the guitar, andsang “The Moeklng- Bird,” wit variations, but was, as we afters wards learned, ng utterly devold of principle asoneconld be, Asa telugrapher hoe was a travesty on the profession, Appealing tothe Superintendent to return ime. to German- town he complied, and I returned after un absence of a couple of months. Thayor was sent to Lafayette for» short time, from whieh point he was ordered to Fort Piekor- ing, Memphig, where I last saw him. While at the Iatter piace he was married toa very pretty girl from Buffalo, N. Y., and it must be said that she had the heartfelt sympathy of every member of the fraternity, ‘The next heard of Thayer was in the spring of 1860, at Butfalo, where he was arrested and convicted of argon, audsentenced toSing-Sing foralong term. <According to the newspapers he lind prepared for nn extensive: conflagration, having saturated m quantity of waste and other materials with turpentine and oil, and started the fire ina room tn the Areadu Block one very windy day, and had not the discov. ery been mado at the start It Is probable he would have had his wishes grathied. Of him Itenn be snid that he was without prineiple or honor, and If thera wns one redeeming traitin his character it was nevor detected by his most intimate acquaintances, During May and June tho older troops that dind so long been dolng guard and garrison fluty along the Ines ‘of communication in the department were ONDERED TO THE SUPPORT OF GEN, GRANT, whu was at that tlue closing In arvund Vicksburg. Forrest was unusually active, however, and the cavalry commands of Gens. Grierson and Hatch were kept busy gunr ing the long line of communteations. »For- rest had invaded West and Middlo Tonnes- see With a portion of his forces, and In getting south again was struck hard by Hatch, near Moscow, Tomn., and pretty roughly handled by tha chvairy and infantry stationed there; fintch, however, was shot through the body, but retained command during the fight, Ile recovered from his wound after several months, and ngaln took command of his brigade. Soon after the Nght at Moscow the Confederates under commund of Chalmers and George made a demonstration on Coll- lersville, nluo miles enst of Germantown, Gen. Grlorson, having returned by boats from Baton Ronge with his cavalry, was then at Germantown, and prepared for anything that Chalmers might offer, Ed IK Butler was then at Collioraville, ‘and with Grierson in my office awaiting develop ments, ‘The word caine at inst that the Con- federntes were but two or three miles from town and advancing, Grioraon at once start- ed, and while Gen, George was preparing to take the town, Grierson’s eayalry struck his feft rear, completely doubling It up on the, fentre and capturing a targe wnuber of prise” dners, Gen. George was severely wounded, and barely escaped captiie, Chalmers has been ti Congress for several yenra, Ho reprosunts, or rather mlsrepre- sents, whit is known as the “Shoestring Distrlet,” Asn loader of tho Confederates the only avidence of his ability was the burning of fn trebtle at some tnetarded point on the railroad, Asfar as he or his conmand was concerned, they were regarded with contempt by our officers and” men, en.

Smith, Wke many other very able counmauders, was cursed with that atiliction of belleving aa Gospol truth the ‘reports of Als sples, of whieh he bad a nimber. ‘ie belluved implicitly all they saw tit to tell him. Forrest's “forees were magnified their ylvid imaginations, and of judging from the op position lls forces wera | meeting, aud nls own observations of Forrest’s over. wheliutng ? forces, he listened rather to the councils of lis hired sples. From all that £ could thenr of the conversation between Gons, Grierson and Snith on that memorable night of Feb, 20, seventeen fours ago, It was elearly apparent that the offer in command of this most inagniticent body of: cavalry, ine armed and mounted, had become suddenly, demoralized; that upon coming hae close prostiuits, to Forrest ho lacked tho requisite “sand” to carry out the orders fis him, and was even then resolving in ris mind whether tt would not be better to turn back, Gen. Grierson and other officers strongly and earnestly protested against the considuration of such-action, butGen, Snilth, having been so thoroughly conytneed fn his own mind thap he had run against the entire Confederacy, could not by prevailed upon to push forward. ‘Tho decision, low- ever, Was not made that night, except per haps inthe mind of the Commanding Gen- eral During the consultation between Gens. Smith und Grierson that evening the first remark that enused ine to consider that the endl hind been reached—that ls, so far as the great results it was expected would be attained were concorned—wwas tho following: Janguinge used by Gen, Grierson: “Well, General, if you. are- fully deter- milned to return to Memphis, will you not ul: low my todetach my brigade and go throu; and Joly Gen, Sherman at. Meridian 9? ‘a thls proposition Gen. Smith argued that For- rest would turn upon his one brigade and completely destroy him. Gen, Grlurson re- miled that he had ‘no fears of the Rebels; that iis mon were well nequatnted with the methads of Forrest, his troopers had aoven-shouting carbines besides pistols; that he would elther felt through Forrestor fight around himy in any event he could and would Joln Sherman, Jess than. a hundred tiles away, within two days, Gon, Smith would not consent, and argued that Forrest. mlght fallow hin back toward Memphis and destroy his entire furee, [t was piatuly evident thot the ¢ commanding Jeneral was gradually losing bis aelp, and If tho terrible Forrest only intimated tiat his presence was not agreeable he would re- spect the Intination and advance on Mute vhis, from which -polnt he had salle forth with much gusto nino days he fore, And yet In tint entire’ come mand there “wero none; so tmid as even to suspect Uhere wis any reason white ever to change thelr course.
