English: Scenes from Jackson Tennessee.
From the Artist, "I herewith send you [Harpers Weekly] a couple of sketches from Jackson, Tennessee. This place is the largest on the railroad front Columbus to Corinth, and is a fine town. Pretty dwellings embowered in trees meet the eye at almost every turn. "Brigadier-General John A. Logan has command of the post, and is fortifying it very strongly. "The enemy is known to have a great desire to repossess the town, and an attack from them is momentarily expected. All the streets entering into the city are barricaded with cotton bales, and, from appearance, are fully sufficient to oppose the ingress of a very large force. "Near the depot is a cotton fort—a sketch of which I send you—for the protection of that portion of the town. It is amply provided with water reservoirs, in the shape of barrels sunk into the ground, to stand a long siege. "An engineer on General Logan's staff has constructed an admirable railroad battery for the protection of the road from guerrilla raids. They have as yet had but one occasion to use it, and that was at Henderson, a few days since, where the woods were shelled sufficiently to make it too hot to hold the rebels. At every trestle-work or bridge along the road are stationed a few soldiers as guard, and it is to this we owe our security as we go dashing along at a headlong pace." |
