surrender. Deeming it to be extreme folly to fight to unequal a force I surrendered my command of 94 men to the above terms.

I would also state that a few moments only before Forrest's force made their appearance Lient. A. B. Balch and Orderly B. C. Percell accompanied Lieutenant-Colonel Collins from my headquarters to the prisoners, who yet waited at the picket station, for the purpose of bringing them in, and while directly with that flag of truce were both forced to surrender.

Five citizens who accompanied me were compelled to give parole not to return within Confederate lines during the war. I would do Lieutenant-Colonel Collins and General Forrest whatever justice there may be in their most emphatic denial of collusion in the two flags of truce.

Respectfully submitted.

I did not reach Jackson until nearly 4 p. m. of the 19th. Immediately on our arrival Colonel Spaulding was ordered by General Sullivan to report with his regiment to Colonel Lawler to the front, and I learned from General Sullivan that Colonel Noyes had been sent with his regiment in another direction to report to General Brayman. I afterward learned that the Sixty-third and Forty-third Regiments, upon reaching Bolivar, had been ordered by General Grant to remain there for the defense of that place.

The following morning a General Order from General Sullivan announced that my command would consist of the twenty-seventh and Thirty-ninth Regiments of Ohio Infantry, and would form the rear of the column.
