Forrest "Moving on"--another gallant Exploit. General Forrest attacked the town of Sulphur Springs, Alabama, nine miles north of Athens, a few days ago, and captured over eight hundred prisoners, including one lieutenant colonel, two majors, ten captains and twenty-two lieutenants. He also captured three hundred fine horses, two pieces of artillery, and a large amount of stores of every description. The enemy's loss was near two hundred, while ours, in killed and wounded, was but thirty-five. The fort at Sulphur Springs consisted of two block houses, and was considered the strongest position on the road from Decatur to Nashville.
