| From the same intelligent and
reliable source we also learn that the force which entered Huntsville,
is that of Gen. Mitchell, and that it does not exceed eight thousand,
all told; and that it was only a marauding expedition -- not an
imposing invading force. They advanced to Stevenson, and designed to
destroy the bridge on the Memphis & Charleston Railroad which
crosses the Tennessee. But the people of Stevenson deceived them,
directing them to the bridge over Willis Valley creek on the line of
the Willis Valley Railroad, a deception easily practiced on account of
its trestlework and length of the bridge. |
