This morning the command "forward” is given to the impatient men, and they march briskly, their steps are firm. To-day we witness war's desolating scourge on the plantations. The devouring elements of fire are doing their work. The Alabama Union cavalry and the Kansas Jay-hawkers are on the war-path; their day has come—their day of retribution.
