Breckinridge was to form to the right of the road in Bragg's rear. At the hour ordered all the commands were ready to advance. During the night, however, a heavy rain storm set in, continuing to pour down in torrents. The streams and ravines across which the road ran were soon impassable.

General Breckinridge has not arrived from Bupoint. We thus see that all the night of the 4th both commands bivouacked near Mickey's, not one near Mickey's and the other in its rear--General Bragg's on the Savannah and Monterey road, south of the Bark road; General Polk's on the Bark road, west of the Savannah and Monterey roads, these roads crossing nearly at right angles.

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

1864. The First corps, under Major-General Polk, with the exception of the detached divisions at Bethel, will take up its line of march by Ridge road hence to Pittsburg half an hour after the rear of the Third corps (Hardee's) shall have passed Corinth, and will bivouac to-night in the rear of that corps, with the same interval the Bark road, west of the Savannah and Monterey roads, these roads crossing nearly at right angles.

My Dear General — Circumstances have------------ So injured by fire as to be illegible. my second division from the Purdy road. Both my divisions will move from here, then, direct to Mickey's, on the Savannah road. I give you this information that you may not wait for my troops at the crossing of the Purdy and Ridge roads. General Breckinridge has not arrived from Burnsville, and I fear bad roads may delay him much. His command forming the reserve must necessarily control our movements to some extent. Let me hear from you, by the courier, at Mickey's. Yours most respectfully and truly, Braxton Bragg. Major-General Polk. General Polk, therefore, continued the march of his command in rear of the Third corps, reaching Mickey's that evening (the 4th). General Bragg's column (two divisions) moved by a different road, the head of it reaching Mickey's the s

To the Editor of the Southern Historical Society Papers: Sir — In the August and September, 1880, number of your journal, under the head of Recollections of General Beauregard's Service in West Tennessee in the Spring of 1862, appears a letter from 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 that that delay was specially due to the action of General Polk's corps. The writer says: General Polk's corps, which was ordered to move with the others at midday, though under arms and ready, was kept at a halt until late in the afternoon, when, it having been reported by Generals Bragg and Hardee that they were unable to move their corps at the hour indicated for them, because General Polk's corps was in the way, you se
