DREADFUL BUTCHERY AT FORT BELLOW,
CAIRO, ILL., April 14.—0 n Tuesday morn
ing Forrest, with some 6,000 men, attacked
Fort Pillow. Soon after the attack Forrest
sent a flag of truce demanding the surrender of
the fort and garrison, in the menwhile dis
posing his force so as to gain an advantage.
Major Booth, of thi3 Ed Tennessee United
States Heavy Artillery, ' formerly the Ist
Alabama Cavalry (colored), refustd to receive
the flag of trace and fighting was resumed.
Afterwards a second flag came=in, which was
also refused,. Both flags gave the rebels the
advantage of gaining new positions.
The battle was kept up till 3 o'clock P. M.,
when Major. Booth was killed and Major Brad
ford took .command. The rebels had come in
swarms over our troops, compelling them to
surrender.
Immediately upon the surrender, there en
sued a scene which utterly baffles description.
Up to that time comparatively few of our men
were killed, but, insatiate as fiends and blood
thirsty as devils incarnate, the Confederates
commenced an indiscriminate butchery of the
whites and blacks including those of both colors
who had been previously wounded.
The dead and wounded negroes were piled in
heaps and burned, and several citizens who
joined our forces for protection, were killed or
wounded.
The black soldiers, becoming demoralized,
rushed to the rear, their white officers having
thrown down their arms. Both white and
black were bayonetted, shot or sabred, and
even dead bodies were horribly mutilated.
Children of seven or eight years of age, and
several negro women were killed in cold blood.
Soldiers unable to speak, from their wounds,
were shot dead, and their bodies rolled down
the banks into the river.
Out of a garrison of 600 men only 200 re
mained alive.
Among our dead officers are Capt. Bradford,
Lients. Barr, Ackerstrom, Wilson, Revel, and
Major Booth, all of the 13th Tennessee Cavalry;
Capt. Posten, Lieut. Lyon, of the 13th Ten
nessee, and Capt. Young, of the 24th Missouri,
Acting Provost Marshal, were taken pris
oners.
Major Bradford was also taken,bnt is said to
have escaped. It is feared, however, that he
has been killed.
The steamer Platte Valley came up about 32
o'clock. She was hailed by the rebels under a
flag of truce and her men sent ashorci to bury
the dead and take aboard such of the • wounded
as the rebels had allowed to-live. Fifty-seven
were taken aboard, including seven or eight
colored men. Eight of them died on the way
up. The steamer arrived here this evening
and was immediately sent to ,the Mound City
h6spital to discharge her suffering passengers.
Among the wounded of the colored troops are
Captain Porter, Lieutenant Libberts and Adju
tant Lemming.
Six guns were captured by the rebels and
carried off, including two 10-pound parrotts
and two 12-pound howitzers. A large
amount of stores were destroyed and
carried away. The intention of the rebels
seemed to be to evacuate the place and move
on towards Memphis.
