change that led to victory on the following day, but from that time to this no public writing or utterance on the part of General Rosecrans has ever acknowledged the services so-rendered. An order to charge at Corinth. by David S. Stanley, Major-General, U. S. V. An assertion made by General Rosecrans in The century magazine for October, 1886, is misleading. The statement [see p. 751] is as follows : I ordered the 27th Ohio and the 11th Missouri to kneel in rear of the right of Robinett so as to get out of the range of the enemy's lire, and the moment he had exhausted himself to charge with the bayonet. The lapse of a quarter of a century has certainly made the memory of the worthy general treacherous, for at the time that his memory causes him to say that he gave this order, I saw him a quarter of a mile away trying to rally Davies's troops to resist the advancing forces of the Confederates, and I consider it impossible for the two regiments to have heard any order fr

I cannot say what General Rosecrans may have said to these regiments about using the bayonet when visiting my lines

ause to take breath for a surge — a fatal pause. Texas Rogers, with the Rebel flag in his left, revolver in his right, advanced firing, leaped the ditch, scaled the parapet, waved his banner aloft, and tumbled headlong into the ditch. A patriot's bullet had killed him in the moment of triumph. Five Texans who followed pitched forward through the embrasures like logs, and fell into the fort. But we anticipate. Remember that the two redoubts are on the same ridge: Fort Williams commanding Fort Robinett, which is in front. Had the Rebels taken the latter, the guns of the former would have destroyed them. They were separated by a space riot exceeding one hundred and fifty yards. The Ohio brigade, commanded by Col. Fuller, was formed behind the ridge, on the right of the redoubts. The left of the 63d Ohio rested on Fort Robinett, its right joining the left of the 27th Ohio; the 39th was behind the 27th, supporting it; the right of the 43d joined the left of the 63d, forming a righ

heir summits were crowned on that side by three redoubts, Philipp's, Annrath and Lathrop, ranged in a semicircle. North of Corinth and east of the stream, the Federals had but a single work of any importance, the Powell redoubt, separated from Robinett by a considerable space, through which the Chewalla road and the Jackson railway passed. But all the roads were occupied by breastworks sufficiently strong to protect the field artillery, and enable it to command the approaches; these works wer all the breastworks the latter had occupied. Some soldiers of Moore's brigade even passed through his line and entered Corinth by the Chewalla road. But all Maury's efforts failed against the position crowned by the two redoubts, Williams and Robinett. The latter, however, which was the most exposed, came near falling into his hands. A Texan regiment had reached the counterscarp; these hardy soldiers descended into the ditch, scaled the opposite side, and were already forcing their way thr

A Hasty burial. A few days ago an incident occurred in this city, which convinces us there is some truth in the many complaints relative to the carelessness and haste with which the bodies of those dying in the hospitals are hurried to the grave. Last week, a soldier named Robert A. Joice, of Henry county, a member of Captain Robinett's company, 16th Virginia regiment, died at Chimborazo. He was hastily buried in the clothes worn at the time of his death, and without any examination to ascertain whether they contained important papers or not. Soon after his burial a friend came to inquire for the money he was known to have, but was told that none had been seen. Not satisfied with this, and failing to get authority to exhume the body, a captain had the grave opened upon his own responsibility, and upon it found $1,010 and some papers of value to his family. The grave was then closed, and the money handed over to Surgeon Brown, who gave a receipt for the same. Mr. Joice died i

a week ago some one abstracted from the brigade commissary department some flour. This putting the officers on their guard, a musket was obtained and loaded with peas, and a negro boy named Ben, who occupied the tent in which the surplus rations were kept, (this tent being contiguous to the one occupied by the clerks in that department,) was instructed to fire upon any one attempting to molest anything in the tent. On yesterday morning, some three hours to day, Mr.--Hudson, a member of Capt. Robinett's company, from some cause or an other, came too near the tent, (his reasons therefore as yet not being understood, this portion of the affair being still clouded in mystery,) and the negro fired upon him, the entire load of peas taking effect on his head and face, which undoubtedly must have stunned him and caused him to fall to the ground, and as the doctors declare his head to have received a severe lick from some weapon, the negro at this juncture must have clubbed his gun and struck
