Mr. Claib Forrest, of this county, had almost as miraculous an experience in the late war as Dr. Washington Thompson Sandidge. He relates an interesting episode regarding a battle in Georgia the last year of the war as follows: "The rebels were getting the better of us and almost a panic ensued. General officers became alarmed. I saw the critical moment had arrived for me to prevent a great disaster to our arma. I went up to Bill Sherman and told him something must be done, and at once, to stop the decimating fire of the enemy. He agreed with me, but said he was at a loss to know what more to make that would succeed. I remarked that if I had command I thought I could mend matters. Said he: 'Sail in, Mr Forrest.' I at once rode along the line and said, 'Boys, aim at their shine,' and in a few moments we had the rebels in full retreat."
Mr. Forrest also claims that he has evolved a theory from the inner consciousness that wholly dispels all mystery surrounding the character of the Priest Melchizedek, about and concerning whom the Scriptural account is so vague.
The article did not continue with the revelation of Mr. Forrest's theory though...
