arrival of the Breckinridge brigade. At 12 o'clock Gen. Johnston, followed by his staff, reviewed the right division of his army. When they began to cheer his approach be checked them, because it would call the attention of the enemy to their position. His advice to his men was brief and characteristic; it was, "Look along your guns and fire low." At 1 o'clock, in company with Gen. Beauregard, he reviewed, the left wing, which was under command of Gen. Bragg. In the afternoon Gens. Polk and Hardee were summoned, and another conceal of officers was held at the cross roads, within a few hundred yards of the spot where we all bivouacked the night before the battle. The question was --as we have lost a day shall we fight? It was decided to strike. At 9 o'clock we bivouacked by fires. The General slept in an ambulance in which were brought our blankets from our single tent at Mon rey Preston, Wickliffe and myself slept by the same fire. Gen. Hardee came to our fire at

The Generals separated, and the General commanding made his way where the firing was heaviest. Colonel Hindman charged the enemy and routed them, taking a large camp and several brass guns, and driving them towards their center. Judging from the number of our wounded that I passed over I think our loss was heavy here for we met the combined fire of y troops of Bragg's division on the right. Gen. Johnston ordered this brigade to "charge bayonet," but the order was countermanded on learning from one of Gen. Gladden's aids that he was severely wounded. Col.

As soon as General Johnston ascertained that we were under the fire of the enemy, he ordered a Texan regiment to charge the camp on the opposite side of the hollow. In descending the hollow, the nature of the ground somewhat disordered their lines, but they again formed at the base of the hill and routed the camp in fine style. I was then sent for General Chaimers, who received orders to push up the road and sweep down the river to where we heard heavy firing, supported by part of Wirt Adams's regiment. At this moment Major Smith of Gen. Johnston's staff, called for reinforcements for Gen. Cheatham, who had a hard fight on hand near the centre of the encampments. Two messengers were sent to Breckinridge to reinforce Cheatham. Fortunately he arrived in time at a great cost of life; for although General Bowen was ordered up at a double quick, Breckinridge had shelled the camp and routed the enemy before he reached the place.

The Baztle of Shiloh. The "Rough Notes" which we publish below, are from the Diary of one of General Johnston's Aids--Major D. M. Hayden, and were intended for insertion in yesterday's Dispatch. As an account of what occurred under his personal observation on the bloody battle field of Sunday, April 6th, this record will be read with thrilling interest: On the morning of April 6th I left Corinth and arrived at Monterey about one o'clock, and here witnessed the most painful sight that a soldier is called upon to see — a deserter was shot by order of Gen. Bragg. While lunching, Clanton's Alabama cavalry company brought in as prisoners a Major and two Lieutenants, one of them belonging to the staff of a Federal General. The prisoners were all handsomely mounted. A few minutes after about ten or fifteen more arrived, who said they were surprised. Gen. Breckinridge arrived at sundown, and a council of officers, consisting of Gens. Johnston, Beauregard, Bragg, and Breck

t, brought out a lot of overcoats, and said, "Here, gentlemen, are overcoats for the whole staff" The General quietly ranked him with, "None of that, sir; remember we do not come here to plunder." It was while under this fire that Captain Brewster expostulated with Gen. Johnston against his personally exposing himself. I was not near enough to hear his reply, but it had no effect, for he smilingly rode to the brow of the hill, where we could distinctly see the enemy retreating. Gen. Withers joined us here, and the enemy's gunboats got such a good range of us that one of their balls fell within ten steps of me. Hearing firing from the upper camp, Gen. Johnston proceeded to the spot, where he remain a time, calmly marshaling his forces and bringing his troops into proper position. It was here I met Capt. Inge, of the Southron. Young Bennet, with face all blackened, stepped up and asked if I knew where his company was, that he had got separated from them. I pointed to w
