"A Battery for Gen. Forrest--By request of the citizens of Montgomery Manager Crisp gave a benefit Tuesday night in the Montgomery Theatre, to increase by its proceeds the subscription fund, now being raised by the people of the Confederacy, to present to the "war eagle," N. B. Forrest, for the use of his command a light battery composed of the newly invented "Travis Guns."
