The Lexington Star Newspaper can report that several more towns in the state of Kentucky have been burnt. The attackers are reported to be Richard's Raiders led by the infamous Richard Pearson, the man who burnt Lousville to the ground. They have burnt Frankfort as well as Florence just outside of Cincinnati. Many rail depots have also been destroyed and entire train cars full of dead Union wounded and soldiers. Tons of destroyed ammunition as well as supplies have been destroyed alongside the rail lines;artillery pieces and weapons have also been found too. Pearson and his men's whereabouts are still unknown.

I, Richard Pearson,have stated several times that he didn't know that there were wounded Union men on the train, and had he known before his attack took place than he would not have gone through with it. None the less, it's the Unions fault for transporting sick and dying men and boys alongside artillery pieces, weapons and ammunition.

Hi, friendly reminder to punctuate and capitalize correctly. Spell check is awesome so use that too. If you are having trouble with grammar just add me and I can teach you.

I'd also like to let you guys know that we should try to cut down on announcements. Saying YANKS SITED then four minutes later saying FIRE in two separate announcements is very frowned upon. Also, replies to announcements should go in the comments and not as a second announcement.

Basically just add me if you write like a third grader.

Mr Ambassador, our troops and supply lines are thin as it is. We cannot possibly spare any troops to a slim possibility of a peace settlement. Favorable terms in such a settlement are unlikely as well. So no, you shall not recieve troops from my command and I advise my fellow Army Commanders against the same action. Too little to gain, and too much to risk in the hopes of favorable odds. I hope that our relations will continue to be cordial.

Your Friend and Companion,

General Nathan Bedford Forrest, Commander of the Army of Texas

Yet again I humbly ask for soldiers to be allocated to my command here in the Confederacy, if we assist this fledgling nation we may gain land from the Union with a peace settlement.

General Georgeston order the artillery to come in as well as some cavalry dragoons. The artillery was ordered to suprise the damned yanks by opening fire and the cavalry were hidden with the infantry through the dug in tree line and only the Cavalry and Artillery are to fire!

General Georgeston yelled "OPEN FIRE MEN GIVE EM HELL!!", Union troops quickly grabbed tables and anything they could find and they covered them selves with them for defence and opened fire. they had 2 artillery peices and about 13 cavalry, they were soon taken out. The Union infantry on the other hand is still holding on very strongly.

General Georgeston has been wounded, but very minorly and can still command well, only a tiny spit shell hit his hand but hes doing fine, hes calling this the battle of the deep wilderness.

Futher news of the battle will be given out when further orders are to be order in this battle. NOTE, the battle is still going on and may last all night for all we no it could even last a day or 2.
