When he saw our lines waver, knowing that it was the critical moment when victory or defeat must follow, then it was he dashed forward, rallied his soldiers, and lad them in a glorious charge, upon which victory followed, but Johnston fell, Had this success but been followed up, our victory would have been perfect, the enemy's defeat crashing. Thus Gen. Sidney Johnston did not sacrifice himself, as has been unjustly said, to recover from the cloud under which it was supposed his star was obscured by the condemnation of the people; but it was because he felt it was his duty, and the occasion demanded that he should make the effort to tern the tide of battle for his army; and a sense of duty alone impelled him to risk his life in leading a charge which he knew must prove victorious — There was neither rashness nor desperation in the act, much less a m

He required no newspaper vindication, because he was conscious that he had taken the only course to save his little army. If there was censure deserved, the people wold find out in the future where it should rest. Thus the great

newspaper vindication, because he was conscious that he had taken the only course to save his little army. If there was censure deserved, the people wold find out in the future where it should rest. Thus the great, magnanimous, and chivalrous Johnston bared his head to the storm of anathema and denunciation without a murmur of complaint, or any attempt to shield himself from its fury. Under these feelings, then, and under these circumstances, when on the battle field of Shiloh he was as calmful scenes of war." When he saw our lines waver, knowing that it was the critical moment when victory or defeat must follow, then it was he dashed forward, rallied his soldiers, and lad them in a glorious charge, upon which victory followed, but Johnston fell, Had this success but been followed up, our victory would have been perfect, the enemy's defeat crashing.
