ore Shiloh-reply to Captain Polk. By General Daniel Ruggles. [We need scarcely repeat, what ought to be well understood, that we are not responsible for controversial papers, except to see that they are printed as sent by the authors.] Fredericksburg, Va., December 31st, 1880.

ions in Colonel Johnston's publication — that his relations with General Johnston were such that had there been any foundation for such an allegation he must have known it, and that no suggestion was made by General Johnston of any fault or failure by my division whatever. I now make reference to Colonel Brewster personally, and ask if Ruggles's answer is logical and sufficient. On the 15th of February, 1879, at Austin, Texas, I received a letter from General L. D. Sandige, now of New Orleans, La., my assistant inspector-general of division at, before and after the battle of Shiloh, bearing date February 10, 1879, in which he says: There was no controversy during the march from Corinth that ever I heard of, then or afterwards. At Austin, Texas, early in April, 1879, I met General William Preston, of Louisville, Kentucky, brother-in-law of General Albert Sidney Johnston, and a volunteer aid-de-camp during the march and at the battle of Shiloh. In reply to my inquiries Genera

main road, taking a course through the woods parallel to the road, passing other trains and brigades till the way was found open, only a short distance from the point at which I was to file off to the left and form line at right angles, or nearly so, with the Bark road, on which the column was moving. This point was reached by the head of my column at about 4 P. M. on the 5th instant. Colonel Pond, commanding the Third brigade, Ruggles's division, having preceded me in the direction of Owl creek. After leaving the Bark road and following Colonel Pond's command about half a mile, I found his rear halted and his line being formed. Meeting General Bragg at this point he gave me some directions as to the formation, rectifying, in some measure, the line formed by Colonel Pond. Soon after this I met Brigadier-General Ruggles, commanding the division, who substantially reiterated General Bragg's instructions, which I was in the act of carrying out. Here is unimpeachable evidence t

lent presumption and a reflection upon his intelligence, zeal and indomitable energy in the execution of his inexorable official duties. Had I been delinquent in the march of my division, in any particular, he would have displaced the commander of the missing column on the spot! General Bragg was an officer of prompt and vigorous action, requiring at all times, and under all circumstances, the prompt and vigorous execution of his orders. I had seen service with him during the war with Mexico — then my junior — and in disciplining his troops at Pensacola — then my senior; and well knew that he relied upon my vigorous execution of an imperative duty, and indeed that he would pursue with rigor the least degree of failure in its performance. Colonel Johnston states that Polk's answer was sufficient — that Clark's division was ready to move at 3 o'clock A. M. Let us follow this logic to legitimate conclusions. Attention is invited to the subjoined copy of an order: To Ge
