t was done let history tell. I am certain I saw General Beauregard leading Mouton's regiment of our brigade in person, when you and Mouton, with the entire line, attacked the enemy's centre, and again two more of the brigades (Anderson's and Pond's) prolonged on the line of Cheatham at Shiloh church, again and again advanced by successive alignments, you and staff carrying the battle flags, repelling every attack of the fresh army of Monday (see Basil Duke's Forrest's Cavalry — foot note on Shiloh), till the Confederate army, moving in regular order, retired leisurely by the passage of lines from the field towards Corinth. Breckinridge and his Kentuckians will remember when their brigade was left on the field, interposed to secure retreat, a staff officer came through the rain and mire with General Ruggles' compliments and message that not one Louisianian would move a pace in retreat at the peril of a life in the brigade — the entire division to reinforce him — and his answer, Sandid<

ordan. To the Editor of the Savannah Republican: My attention has been recently attracted to a wide-spread article under the caption of A lost opportunity at Shiloh, which, it appears, is taken from a letter addressed to your journal by your regular correspondent P. W. A. This article is calculated to elevate a subordinate Ge enough to feel assured that he wrote with no such purpose, and yet that must be the effect with all who have given credit to the story of the Lost opportunity at Shiloh. Having been on the staff of General Beauregard during the battle of Shiloh, I happen to know the exact truth of the matter misrepresented to P. W. A. by his ption of the untruth, I think it proper to ask space for a brief statement. General Prentiss did not deceive the Commander-in-Chief of the Confederate forces at Shiloh by any shallow invention, either in regard to the movements of General Buell's army or the existence of extensive works at Pittsburg landing. General Beauregard h

Facts connected with the concentration of the army of the Mississippi before Shiloh, April, 1862. By Captain W. M. Polk. To the Editor of the Southern Historical Society Papers: Sir — In thfrom General Jordan, dated New York, Nov. 2, 1874, in which it is stated that the failure to win Shiloh was mainly due to the delay in getting the army out of Corinth on the 3d of April, 1862, and tharagraph it would seem that General Polk was to precede Generals Bragg and Hardee on the march to Shiloh, for we read that they could not move, Polk being in the way, and that upon learning this Generaile upon this subject permit me to enter more freely into this question of the delay in reaching Shiloh. In order to do so properly, I will quote from memoranda prepared some time ago, for a forthcomre General Polk's orders. Section 3 of the Special Orders as to the movements of troops towards Shiloh (page 189 1st Vol. Official Reports of Battles, published by Confederate Congress in 1862) reads

y true, because true men formed the staple of our armies. Of the ones just toasted, I can speak that I do know and testify that I have seen. From New Orleans to Shiloh, from Vicksburg to Chattanooga, from Dalton to Atlanta, from Atlanta to Nashville, from Nashville to Carolina I knew these men. Aye! I knew them well. The offic of remembrance on the tomb of their dead. And in closing, suffer me to say to you who here to-night represent the glorious Virginia army, that at Donelson and Shiloh, at Murfreesboro and Chickamauga, at Chattanooga and Champion Hill, at Vicksburg and Atlanta, at Franklin and Nashville, men as true, as brave and as enduring as at Chancellorsville was his before he crossed the river and rested under the shade of the trees, while we lost our Sidney Johnston, and with our hero our hard-won Shiloh. Your defeats were fewer than our victories, and yet we do not ask you to be generous, but simply just, in yielding your assent, when we say that the men of th
