Folk Johnston and Beauregard being with the latter. Saturday night our troops lay upon thpersonal valor which made our troops invincible. On one occasion Beauregard himself, finding a regiment wavering under the rain of death thatst. Prudently the information was kept from the army, and Gen. Beauregard assured the command-in- chief.

It is now supposed that Buell was not in the battle of Shiloh, flag or last, though a considerable portion of his army may have been; but was engaged in superintending the movement on Huntsville. Island No.10, as far as regards its future relations to the Southern Confederacy is also among "the things that were." Its eighty guns and eleven gunboats and transports have been sunk, twelve or fifteen hundred men have been made prisoners, together with Gen. Mackall, the commander, and the remainder, who escaped, are now straggling into Memphis in squads of five, ten, or fifty, as the case may be. Scores will doubtless be drowned in the bayous or lest in the canebrakes, where, in many instances, the men have to wade for miles up to their armpits in water. All our forces had been removed to the main land from the island, and here they were surrounded by the enemy and beamed in beyond the hope of escapes, except in individual cases. The surrender too

Johnston, the Commander-in-Chief, fell. He also was leading a charge upon the third camp of the enemy.--Gov. Harris, of Tennessee, one of his aids, had left him a few dly hurt?" was the inquiry. "Yes, Governor, I think this as a mortal wound," at the same time pointing to his leg. Gov. Harris immediately dismounted assisted Gen. Johnston from his horse, and there upon the ground, amid the roar of artillery and the cheers of his victorious army, the great commander quietly breathed his last.

Vigorous preparations were therefore made to resist the assault, which was deemed almost certain at an early hour on Monday.--Nor were these ill timed.
