THE CAPTURE OF FORT PILLOW.
Camp 2d Tenn. Cavalbt, Okoloaa, April 20.
The situation of this fortification is roffioientlj
familiar to all oonTersant with the hiatoiy of our
straggle for indopendcnce in the West to ezouM
me at present from attempting a lengthy deMrip-
tion of its works, aivancagcs, pregnable points,
etc., and I will, therefore, only make such obser
vations in regard to ita locality, as te more read>
ily portray the attack and capture of the fort.
It 18 ercctf d upon a pruminent point within the
interior of Gen. Pillow’s old works, in such a
manner as to command its approach for three qaar-
tern of a mile in every direction. To the north
the broal bosom of the Missis^ppi extends up
ward of five milca, afi'urding a ready field of ope
rations for the gunboats always awaiting at that
placc To the oaMt, south aod west, a suooeasion*
ot rugged, undulating billa rise up, stripped of
their timber, in order that no approach may be
itsprotcoiion. To thesouthcaat, and
upon the road nscd by Opd MoCulIoogh'* brig*d®
in their attack, staods a detached fore, more used
aa a wa.tchtower t!,an as a stronghold, as no reaiflt*
aace was offered at that point.
The prcgrammc of attack was after this fashion:
(’halnn'r,! was placed in oommand of Beil’s
g,id McCullough's brifirades, and by a forced
jjj trch of two n;ghts rxhibited a portion of his eol-
nmt* oD 12ih, when the yankees aban-
donci^.*'^*®*^ exterior works, and assumed a po
sition most formidable fortress, behind their
batt«n®®» keeping up a alow shelling of the
neigbtJ^^^’^S woods some time before themaiq,foroe
entereu *1*® attack. Col. Bell advanced bj
a oircui^'®“® route to Hatchie River, some three

our men ild .^ing their advantage, pushed up
near; c>o cld^e, in fact, that it became decidedly
bazardoui for a Fedc-ral to make tlie benevolent and
moral organs^?) of his head visible to>our marks
men, to gay nothing of their features, of which they '
manaeed to keep below the battlements.
Affairs, 1 believe, had obtained this aspect,
when Gen. Forrest arrived upon the ground.
Before his arrival, serious apprehensions were
entertained that we would not be able to take the
placc; but when he became visible to our troops,
universal confidence prevailed. He immediately
advanced to the front, inspired the troops with
such a degree of enthusiasm that they moved on,
never faltering, until they had obtained position
in a ravine under the very guns of the enemy,
with nothing to prevent the immediate sealing of
the works, when Gen. Forrest, through a desire
to 8»va hnman Ufa, sp.nt in a 4»«ee de
manding the commander to surrender. The
terms offered I have not had opportuni^ of
ascertaining, but the answer was certainly of a hos
tile character, as a rapid roar of musketiy, ac
companied .by the-thunderings of artillery from
gunboats and batteries, followed the return of the
flag. Steadily, and in a crouching attitude, with
arms at a present, silently and in line, moved the
troops up the hill, crowced by a frowning fort,
protected by an exasperated garrison, to the ditoh
at the base; a moment’s pause in this place, a
temporary cessation of fire arms, and we climb
the ramparts, pouring, as wo ascend, a deadly
volley into the interior. A feeble resistance is
offered by those within; then the lines give way
in confusion, and gunners, yankees and negroes
rush madly from the fort down an almost perpen
dicular bank towards the river, under a rapid and
destructive fire from our rifles. The polluted
“star spangled banner” was torn from its fasten
ings and trampled in the dust, and high above
tlie ramparts of the conquered fort, proudly
uaated our own loved ensign, flapping defiance at
the ominous looking gunboats anchored above.
’Twas but the work of an instant to turn the guns,
so lately used for our destruction, upon the boat.
Two shots were fir d, and she headed off up the
stream; at the same instant, a proud, exultant
shout of victory ran across its waters, arousing
the reverberations of triumph throughout the
majestic old forest. For ten minutes death reign
ed in the fortifications and alontr the river bank.
Oar troops, maddered by excitement, shot
down the retrcatiTig yaokers, aod not until they
had a+taincd the water’s edge and turned^ to beg
for mercy, did any prisoners fal! into our hands.
Thus the whites received quarter, but the ne-
grops were sliown no mcroy. The plundering of
he encaTipmrnt aSordcd no suiall feature of in-
er st; the stckiag »^f the stores no little excite-
nient, and the brave bn^d of soldiera, after be-
cemii'-g urd;s5utc * iHastP.rs of the fost, with pris-
uiierH p’cperly Pf ctired, devoted their energies and
attention to the well fillfd st>re9 of the commis

all desirable arUcl'’f, '^e ignit»^d» stores, tents and
.stables, t«pd bs in the affair at Paducah, withdrew
by its ligiit. The fort remained in our pot>se88ion
nearly .^ix hours, during the succeeding day,
when I am told .fo’ir guaboats came up from
Memphis under truce, and made proper provis
ion for the wounded.
We have arrived at Okolona with 210 bri-
soners, embracing IGO whites and 40 negroes, in
cluding women and children. A large number
of hor; 09, six excellent pieces of artillery, two 24
poundersj four 12 pounder parrptt guns, and four
large field pieces, were brought safely off. One
hundred thusand dollars worth of property was
destroyed. (.)ur loss is trifling, not exceeding
twelve killed, while the enemy’s killed amounts
to 400, most of them negroes. We return to
West Tennassee immediately
