By this time both Cheatham's and Clark's Divisions, Polk's Corps, were also strenuously engaged, mainly on the left, whereely engaged. It was near the center of the line, and on reaching the scene, Forrest found that Cheatham's Division had just received a temporary check. With his wonted impatience of the least delay, Forrest at once proposed to Cheatham to join in an immediate charge across an open field in their front. To this, Cheatham, whose men for several hours previously had been breasting a tempest of aCheatham, whose men for several hours previously had been breasting a tempest of artillery and musketry fire, demurred for the moment, as his men required some rest. Forrest's men, being mounted, were nearly as much exposed to an annoying fire where they stood–a fair mark—as in a s. The boldness of this movement, however, appeared to produce some effect upon the enemy, and Cheatham, advancing with his indomitable division at this time, the Federals, after some resistance, wer

As far as can be ascertained, General Grant was not upon the immediate field earlier tcredited, and Buell's timely junction with General Grant was accordingly deemed impossible. Therefhe attending completeness of the surprise, General Grant did not await the advent of Buell's other ed the battle in splendid order and spirit. Grant's shattered forces on Sunday night had been rehile, and in that part of the field, including Grant's forces under Sherman and McClernand, there wman is sure, from a story then told him by General Grant of what had happened at Fort Donelson on tastily, inconsiderately. Saturday night General Grant slept at Savannah, when both General Buello help to repel them? Very well.

y, with 7,000 fresh troops,, not yet in hand, added to such commands as Sherman's, which he confesses in his official report was now of a mixed character—without any of three of his four brigades present—and such of the mass then huddled, demoralized and abject, under the river bank since 10 o'clock, as might have their equilibrium re-established. That this was the purpose General Sherman is sure, from a story then told him by General Grant of what had happened at Fort Donelson on the 15th of February; and, furthermore, he is very positive that he did not know Buell had already arrived. Now here the spirit rather than the letter of the renowned general's paper is to be weighed. To be relevant to the question, he, steps into the arena not to discuss but settle, he must mean this: that the offensive was to be taken by the Federal forces then west of the Tennessee, if Buell did not come to their assistance; further, when the order was given to him to that end, he did not know Genera

y 3,000 were captured, and most of them were of Prentiss' Division. What the real loss of Grant's army was, those who could best estimate it have not been at the pains to ascertain. The divisions of Buell engaged lost 3,753, much the heaviest part of which fell upon McCook's Division in the obstinate struggle against the Confederate left and center. Of trophies the Confederates carried from the field some twenty-six stands of flags and colors, and about thirty of the guns captured on the 6th. The guns which figure in Federal subordinate reports as captured from the Confederates, with few exceptions, were those lost on Sunday by the Federals, which, for want of horses to draw them from the field, had been left by the Confederates where they had been taken.

The battle of Shiloh. From the New Orleans, La., Picayune, Aug. 31, Sept. 7, 1902. The first great battle of the Civil War—Undisciplined Confederate levies rout twice their Numbers— the opening day of an historic combat. By General Thomas Jordan, C. S. A. Despite the minute precautions urged in the order for the day against all courses calculated to divulge to the enemy the approaching danger, there had immediately prior to the battle of Shiloh really been little circumspection on the part of the Confederate soldiery, one-third of whom were fresh levies, wholly raw and undisciplined. Fires had been kindled, drums, too, were lustily beaten in a number of regiments, and scattering discharges of small arms had been kept up all night in most of the brigades, the men being apprehensive that otherwise the charges of their guns, possibly wet, would fail them when needed. These, with other noises, ought to have betrayed to the Federal generals on the first line the presence in t
