Who did Bedford Forrest capture in Holly Springs Mississipi and then release?

I know what he went there to do and who escaped him but I am completely unaware of anyone he captured. Please tell me?
God Bless You and Our Southern people.

Cotton Traders and it was Earl Van Dorn who captured Holly Springs. Forrest never got to Holly Springs that I know of he was at Spring Hill in 1864 when Schofield marched his corp along a road that the Confederate Arm of Tennessee was camped next to at the time. But that was lack of clear orders and leadership on General John Bell Hood's part not Forrest.
