81-army of the Tennessee.
Report of General J. A. McClernand of the operations of the reserve corps from the battle of Shiloh to the evacuation of Corinth.
headquarters reserve corps, army of the Tennessee, camp Jackson, July 4, 1862. Major-General H. W. Halleck, Commanding Department of the Mississippi:
my report of the part taken by my command, consisting of the First division of the Army of the Tennessee, in the battle of Shiloh, explains how the enemy was driven from my camp on the seventh and forced with great loss to abandon the ground he had gained on the sixth of April.
I will not dwell upon the incidents of that great event now, it would be supererogatory to do so. They have passed into glorious and imperishable history, and there let them rest.
Devoting my attention during the interval to measures necessary to repair the consequences of a protracted and sanguinary battle, and to restore the vigor and efficiency of my command; and having prepared the wa

Colonel Hovey's official report.
headquarters Second brigade, General Steele's division, A. S. W., July 7, 1862.
Captain: Pursuant to orders, I directed Col. Harris, with parts of four companies of his regiment, the Eleventh Wisconsin infantry, and parts of four companies of the Thirty-third Illinois infantry, and one small steel gun of the First Indiana cavalry, in all a little less than four hundred men, to make a reconnaissance in advance of our lines.
He fell in with the rebel pickets at Hill's plantation, and fired on them.
Passing the forks of the road at this place towards Bayou De View, he had proceeded but a short distance when I overtook and turned him back, with instructions to hasten down the Des Arc road, and, if possible, rescue a prisoner just captured.
He marched rapidly for half a mile, and fell into an ambush.
The woods swarmed with rebels, and the firing was terrific.
I have since learned th

camp Twenty-First Indiana volunteers, Baton Rouge, July--, 1862. James W. McMillin, Colonel Twenty-first Indiana Volunteers, Commanding Post:
sir: In obedience to order of Lieut.-Col. Clark, Sixth Michigan volunteers, then commanding post, I, with forty of McGee's cavalry, under Capt. McGee, started from the camp of the Twenty-first Indiana volunteers, at seven o'clock P. M., of the twenty-seventh of June, to make such reconnoissance as in my opinion seemed best.
Following the Greensburgh road nineteen miles, we crossed to the Camp Moore road by an unfrequented path, distance six miles. Nine miles from where this path intersected the lastnamed road we breakfasted and fed our horses.
At eight o'clock A. M. we resumed our march twelve miles further, in the direction of Camp Moore; then we crossed to the Greenburgh road, capturing on the way a guerrilla.
On arriving at the road we capture

84.-a rebel soldier's Diary of the enemy's approach to and withdrawal from before Charleston, S. C., May, June and July, 1862.
May 17.--Enemy sounding Stono Channel in barges.
One fired on from Goat Island by riflemen, and driven off.
May 19.--Several of the enemy's gunboats attempted to enter Stono Inlet; one ran aground and all put back.
May 20.--Three gunboats crossed the Bar and entered the Stono River about three o'clock A. M. One ran up and anchored a little below Battery Island, commanding the old (river) route from Coles's Island — the enemy thinking, probably, to cut off our troops on Coles's Island. Lieut.-Col. Ellison Capers, Twenty-fourth regiment South-Carolina volunteers, commanding on Coles's Island, withdrew his force, (two companies,) under standing orders, to James Island, by the new (back) and scarcely completed route over Dixon's Island. Capt. L. Buist, Palmetto Guard, commanding on Battery Island, withdrew his force, （two companies,) under simila

85.-Jeff. Thompson's address.
To the planters in Mississippi.
Gentlemen: You are called upon to sustain your reputation as brave Mississippians, and show the world that the forty thousand gallant sons of your noble State, who are now in the field, are fighting for principles which you indorse, and for which you are willing to suffer some little personal inconvenience.
You are needed, old and young, not to fight, but to perform the watching and picketing duty, which your knowledge of the country peculiarly fits you for, and which will relieve and rest the soldiers who have this duty to perform, and thus give us great advantage over any equal number of the enemy.
The recent raid through De Soto County should prove the necessity of this vigilance, and show how easily one man, riding as express five miles in advance of the enemy, could have defeated their purposes, and any reliable man, with a probable report of their numbers, could have had them all cut off.

86.-the Unionists of Alabama.
Report of Colonel Streight.
headquarters Fifty-First Indiana volunteers, camp near Mooresville, Ala., July 16.
sir: While in command at Decatur there were several small parties of loyal Alabamians who came into our lines begging me to give them protection and a chance to defend the flag of our country.
The tale of suffering and misery, as told by each as they arrived, was in itself a lamentable history of the deplorable condition of the Union people of the South.
Notwithstanding the oft-repeated assertion that there was a strong Union sentiment in portions of the Cotton States, I had long since given up all hopes of finding the people entertaining it; hence I was at first incredulous as to what they said, and even suspicious that they were spies belonging to the enemy; but as their numbers increased, each corroborating the story of the other, I at last became convinced that the matter was worthy of notice.
About this time, on the ten

87.-rebel raid into Lebanon, Ky., July 11-12, 1862.
A correspondent of the Louisville Journal gives the following account of this affair:
Lebanon, Ky., July 15.
Now that things are somewhat quiet in and near Lebanon, I have concluded to give you a fair and impartial history of events that have transpired since the coming and going of the farfamed Acting Brig.-Gen. J. H. Morgan, C. S. A.
On Friday, the eleventh, it was reported here about noon, that Gen. Morgan had attacked and routed the Federal forces in Southern Kentucky, and that he was making his way to Lexington through Lebanon.
Shortly after a despatch of this character was received, it was currently and correctly reported that the General, with a large force, was about twenty miles south-west of Le banon, near the little village of Pinch 'em, and that he would take Lebanon on that (Friday) night.
Lieut.-Colonel A. Y. Johnston, in command at this place, immediately sent runners to the Home Guards to ho

88.-surrender at Murfreesboro, Ky.
Colonel Duffield's official report.
Murfreesboro, Tenn., July 23, 1862.
Colonel: Although I had not yet formally assumed command of the Twenty-third brigade, yet as Brig.-Gen. Thomas L. Crittenden and the other officers of his command have been captured and forwarded to Chattanooga, permit me to submit the following report of such portion of the attack on this post, made on the thirteenth inst., as came under my own personal observation:
I arrived here, after an absence of two months, on the afternoon of the eleventh inst., coming down on the same train with Brig.-Gen. Thomas L. Crittenden, the newly-appointed commander of the post, and found that several material changes had been made in the location and encampment of the Twenty-third brigade since my departure.
Instead of camping together, as it had done, it was separated into two portions several miles apart.
The brigade had never been drilled as such, nor a brigade guard m
