Next morning he crossed to the west side of the Tennessee river, where he remained until Christmas night, when he learned that the Yankee Lieutenant Beauregard (8th Kentucky cavalry) who made the night attack on him would attend a "soiree," seven miles distant. He determined to surprise them. Leaving a small guard with his horses he proceeded, accompanied by eight men, on foot to the house.--The armament of his party consisted of two shotguns and two pistols. On reaching the house he discovered that the "blue birds" had flown. Beauregard and six of his men had quartered themselves at a house about two miles distant. The Colonel, with four men, reached the quarter just as the Yankees were retiring to their rooms. He entered and took possession of them with little ceremony. A few days after he and Capt. Christy proceeded through Western Kentucky to Cairo, Illinois, where they s

Adventures of a Confederate officer. A correspondent of the Memphis Appeal, published at Atlanta, Georgia, says that some three months since Col, Bob. Martin, 10th Ky., Morgan's cavalry, asked for and obtained a leave of absence for ninety days to travel for his health, which had been much impaired by a gunshot wound in the right breast, greatly effecting his lungs and causing hemorrhage. Quickly collecting 15 men, he moved, not to our rear, but through Middle Tennessee into Southern was surprised on a dark, rainy night, just as he was preparing to retire, having divested himself of his hat, coat, pistol, and boots. The enemy approached from a point deemed inaccessible, and the first intimation of their coming received by Col. Martin was a volley fired at himself and men at less than ten paces distant.
