This, we learn from the Jacksonville (Ala.) Republican, is the real name of the young heroine who mounted the horse behind Gen. Forrest and conducted him to the ford on Black Creek, in his pursuit of the Yankee marauders. At a meeting of Capt. Fouche’s company, held in Rome, Ga., on Saturday last, the company was, by a unanimous vote, called the “Sansom Rangers,” in honor of this young lady. Not only so, but it was decided that in the event she changed her name–a thing contemplated by every young lady we know, or of which history gives us any account–then the name of the company should be changed to correspond.
