A Detailed Description of the Battles Near Pittsburg Landing. TnE Varying Fortunes of Tivo Hloody Days—Sunshine and Storm—Defeat and Victory. Twenty-Second Anniversary of the Events Hecorded—A Memorable Sunday and Monday. \ Serially H’rlffm for the Chicago Trittune . \ 'I wenty-two years ago the 6th and Tth of April fell on Sunday and Mon day. So they do now. Twenty-two years ago on those days was foughtone of the most fiercely-contested battles of Ihe War of the Rebellion. As early as January, 1862, (Hen. A. S. Johnston, who was probably one of the ablest com manders in the Rebel service, in look ing over a map showing the course of the Tennessee River, pointed out a spot marked “Shiloh Church,” and said, prophetically, “Here the great battle of the southwest will lie fought.” Feb. 15, of the same year, Den. U. S. (Rant was assigned to the command of the Military District of Tennessee. After the surrender the following day of Fort Donelson, on the C überland River, by the Ret*ls, lie whs, on the news reaching Washington, appointed Major-U.eneral. At this time Major tleneral Ilalleck commanded all the armies in the Valley of the Mississippi. March 1 he sent to Grant an order di recting the course ot immediate opera tions, which contained, among other details, the following: “Transports will be sent to you as soon as jxwsible to move your column up the Tennessee River. The main ob ject of this expedition will l*etodestroy the railroad bridge over Bear Creek, near Eastport, Miss., and also the con nections at Corinth, Jackson and Hnir.- boldt Avoid anv general engagement with strong forces. It will l>e better to retreat than to risk a general battle.” The objective point that suggested itself to Ilalleck was Memphis. He telegraphed to Grant the 4th: “You will place Major-General C. F. •Smith in command of the expedition and remain yourself at Fort Henry.” THE TRIP UP THE TENNESSEE. The same day the forces at Fort Donelson marched to the Tennessee River, where they were joined by Gen. Sherman’s division and other reinforce ments. The army, with its stores, was gathered on a fleet of boats t>etween t'ort Henry ami the railroad bridge. The Meet l»egan arriving at Savannah the llth. and the 14th Gen. Smith sent Sherman's division up the river to strike the railroad near Easti»ort. Rain fell in torrents, and the exj>edition was arrested by a swollen and unfordable stream. Returning, the boats stopped at Pittsburg Landing, aliout nine miles above .Savannah. Bng.-Geu. Hurlbut’s division hail already arrived there the 14th. The previous day Ilalleck tele graphed to Grant to assume immediate command of his army. By War Order No. 3, issued March 11. the two departments then under the respective commands of Gens. Ilalleck and il uliter, together with s<» much of that under Brig.-Gen. Don Carlos Buell, Commander of the Department of the Ohio, as laid west of the north and south line indetinitly drawn thiough Knoxville, Temu were consolidated and designated the Department of Mississippi. The command ol it was given to Ilalleck. He at once ordered Buell to march his army to .Savannah. PITTr-m itO LANDING. PittHhurg IsanJing. almut twenty three miles northwest oi Corinth, was the place selei'ted by Gen. C. F. Sinitli for the MBMnbling or t lie army. To uwe Horace (Jreeley’s description of it. it was “An insignilicant two-house nucleus of a prosi»ective village.” The locality was, however, well chosen. It had Innmi only very recently settled, and that very sparsely. About three miles apart are two creeks, named re spectively Lick and Snake, which empty themselves into the Tennessee River. Lick is above and Snake below the Landing. At a distance from Lick Creek, varying from three to five miles, and iieariy parallel with it, runs Owl ( reek, w hich empties itself into Snake Creek. Between these creeks and the river is an undulating stretch of table land from eighty to one hundred feet altove the river-level. The river-fr ml of this table-land is dissected by se\. r al l*ogs and ravines. There is a piece of rising ground alnuit a mile hack from the.river and about the same distance above the Landing, from which extend the head ravines of Oak Creek, a stream flowing westward and passing within a few hundred yards of Shiloh Church. This stream is treated as tiie main branch of Owl Creek, and is so desig nate)! In the reports of Sherman’s divis ion. The head ravines of Brier Creek, a deep gorge w hich runs almost due north, empty themselves into Snake Creek. With the exception of perhaps a dozen ojien fields, containing altout eight acres each, the greater portion of the land was covered with tali timber and a thick undergrowth. Lying Iwick from the river was a road connecting the Landing with Hamburg Landing, alnuit six miles aliove. Another road ran from the Landing across Brier and Snake Creeks to Crump’s Landing lie low. Near the Landing the road to Corinth divided itself Into two routes, oue by wav of Shiloh Church and the other keeping nearer the river, hut uuitiug again a few miles out. The PurdT road runs due west from the Landing, north of ShUo 1 ’ Church. Monterey is about ten tnilu, out on the Corinth road, and consisted of about half a dor.en houses. The position was, uixm no less au thority than Gen. Sherman, a naturally strong one. It was amply protected by the river ami Snake and Owl Creeks. The only point accessible was on the south, which was the open way to and from Corinth to tl»e Landing. With tiiis exception it was a formidable na tural fortification, and might liave»*een impregnable. There was, too, ample nwnn for nn army to camp. The whole vicinity was mainly covered by the primeval forest and traversed by a numlter of small creeks and ravines. GRANTS ARMY. (Jen. Grant arrived at Savannah from Fort Henry March 17, and as sumed command. He found one part of the army on one side of the Tennes see river and the other on the other side. Within an hour he issued orders for the concentration of the whole force on the left hank of the river. He remained at Savannah to personally superintend the organization of the troops constantly arriving from Mis souri, and Imcause from his then loca tion he could communicate more readily with Huell. As soon as the several divisions of Grant’s army were concentrated at and near Pittsburg Landing, their respect ive positions were nbout as follows: Gen. Hurlbut’s division was encamped at right angles to the Corinth road, ly ing nearer to the river, the right wiug of his First Brigade almost interlock ing with the camp of Gen. C. F. Smith’s division. Of Gen. Sherman's division, which landed the 18th, the Second Brigade was posted in the fork of a cross-road running to Purdy from the Hamburg road. The Fourth Brigade camped with its left near Shiloh church, and its color line nearly at right" angles with the Corinth road. The First Brigade had its camp to the right of It, and was separated by a ravine running into Oak Creek. To the left of Shiloh church, with its right near it, was the Third Brigade. The headquarters of Gen. Sherman were to the rear of the church. His batteries and cavalrv were posted in the rear of his infantry. The division of Gen. 0. F. Smith was located on the plateau between Briar Creek and the river. The front of Gen. MoClernsnd’s divis ion crossed the Corinth road in the rear of Shiloh church. The Sixth Di vision, under Gen. Prentiss, faced to the south. Its left flank was in sight of Stuart's brigade, and on Its right was Si»arman'« division. There was a considerable gap between them. These Hve divisions aggregated ISjUOu men. dm. L. Wiutawredf vision disem barked at Crump’s Landing, a little above Savannah, but on the same side <>t the river as Ftuabarg lading, and sites above it at Stony Lonesome, and the Third immediately beyond Adauis ville on the road to Purdy. This divis ion was held In readiness to join the main force the moment it should be come necessary to do so. initial operations. Nothing was done with a view to de fense, for the simple reason that no at tack was apprehended. The universal impression was that as soon as Grant was joined by Buell and his army, a movement would be made on Corinth. As early as March 6, Ilalleck had re ceived information that Beauregard had SLOW men at Corinth, and was rapidly fortifying it. The latter officer had. toward the end of February, sent a field l»attery supported by two regi ments of infantry to occupy the river bluff at Pittsburg Landing, but they were driven away March 1 by Lieuten ant-Commander Gwin with two gun boats—the Tyler and the I>exington. Maj.-Gen. C. F. Smith met with an injury to his leg early in March, which resulted in the death of this noble soldier April 25. Brig.-Gen. W. 11. L. Wallace took command of his division with Maj.-Gen. McClemand. The lat ter officer had by letter requested Grant, who visited the forces at Pitts burg Landing daily, to move his head quarters to that place. This was March 27. lie arranged to do so April 4, when he received a letter from Buell request ing him to remain at Savannah until the sth, as he would l>e there that day. He did not, however, arrive until the 6th, or if he did Grant did not know it, and waited to meet him. Immediately on receipt of Halleck's order to march to Savannah, Buell be fan operations. March 15 the Fourth livision, commanded by Brig.-Gen. A. McD. McCook, moved out, and by the 90th It was followed by the Fifth, under Brig.-Gen. T. L. Crittenden, the Sixth, under Brig.-Gen. T. J. Wood, and the First, under Brig.-Gen. (ieorge 11. Thomas. This army was made up of 37.000 men in all. The roads were so bad and the creeks so swollen from almost incessant rains that consider able difficulty was experienced in mak ing even reasonable progress. A bridge hud to be built over Duck Creek near Columbia. Before it was completed Gen. Buell learned that Gen. Grant's army was on the west bank of the Ten nessee. Gen. Nelson obtained per mission to push rapidly on to Savan nah. His division arrived there April 5, and he reported to Cen. Grant, who directed him to march his command to a position south of Savannah and about five miles from the point opposite Pittsburg Landing, there to hold him self in readiness to reinforce the army on the left necessary. Gen. Buell came in some time in ihe even ing of the same day. SKIRMISHING Al»out April 1, the commanding of ficers !>ecame conscious that there was Rebel cavalry in their front. Before setting down in his camp Gen. Sher man took the precaution the 3d to send Buck land’s brigade out on a reconnais sance on the Corinth road. Buckland inarched alx>ut live miles out to the fork of the road. Posting the brigade tietween the roads he dispatched two companies on each road. Both en countered hostile cavalry and began skirmishing with them. A larger body of cavalry was seen beyond. The com panies were recalled and returned to cauip. The following day the Rebels made a cavalry dash on Buckland’s picket-line and made prisoners of a Lieutenant and seven men. Informa tion was sent to Sherman, who dis patched cavalry in pursuit. A com pany was sent out by Maj. Crockett to scout beyond the picket line. Gen. Buck land hurried off Maj. Crockett with another company to bring the first one ltack. Firing was heard. Buckland started with a battalion to the rescue. The second company had been attacked and Maj. Crockett killed. Buckland continued on a distance of about two miles, anil attacked, unseen, a body of cavalry that w;is in the act of charging upon the first company. Hherman's cavalry came up. The Rebels were driven off and pursued. Many of them were killed. After pro ceeding a mile the pursuers discovered infantry and artillery in front of them. They were fired on bv the artillery, and returned, bringing in ten prisoners t*e longing to the First Alabama Cavalry. Beanies those men taken prisoners on Bucklands picket line the Union men had four wounded. A written report of the skirmish was sent by Buckland to .Sherman. The next day (Saturday) the Fifth Ohio Cavalry, attached to Sherman's division, made several re connoitring exjieditions to the point and frequently encountered bodies of Rel>el cavalry. Cols. Hildebrand and Buckland, of Sherman’s division, on visiting their picket-lines observed parties of the hostile cavalry hovering in the woods beyond. The pickets were strengthened and Buckland, cautioned his officers to lie prepared for a night attack. The same day Gen. McClernand went out with Col. Mc- Pherson and a battalion of cavalry on a reconnaissance and saw a few Rebel scouts near Hamburg. Receiving in formation Friday nißlit that there was a considerable Reliel force at Purdy and Bethel Gen. Wallace im mediately re|»orted tl e fact to Gen. Grant who directed W. 11. L. Wallace to hold his division (Smith’s) in readi ness to support L. Wallace in the event of his l»eing threatened Grant also advised Sherman to be ready to move in support with his whole division, and with Hurlbut’s if necessary, should an attack on L. Wallace l>e attempted. Sherman entertained the opinion that there was no probability of an immedi ate engagement. He so expressed him self to Gen. Grant when that officer rode out to Sherman’s line Saturday, sth. Grant concurred with Sherman in his judgineut. In his report to Gen. Halleck, sent that day, Grant stated that he had “scarcely the faintest idea of an attack (general one) being made.” In a letter written the same day by Sherman to Grant the following occurs: “1 do not apprehend anything like an attack u)K>u our position.” In this fancied security not a single entrench ment was thrown up nor a defense of iuiy kind resorted to. Not even a re connoiteriug party was thrown for ward to watch the movements of the enemy, 45.0U0 strong, although its pres ence 'in the vicinity was notorious. Thus closed the night of Saturday, April 5, on the cainp of the Army of the Tennessee, with its commander at Savannah, on the opposite side of the river. THE REBEL MOVEMENTS. With the surrender of Fort Donelson Geu. A. 8. Johnson immediately l>egan the abandonment of Nashville. His Hebei army, which was intact, was en camped at Edgefield. lie moved out with his command Feb. 18.toMurfrees l>oro. The object was that his force should be joined with that of (ten. Beauregard, or they would be beaten in detail. Corinth was the point deter mined on for concentration, and there to collect the largest possible force, and with it crush the Union army. Murfreesboro was not on the direct route to his destination, but it was selected in order to conceal his purpoee. W itb the 3,(00 or 4,ooomen who escaped from Donelson and the command of Gen. Crittenden from Kentucky Johnson’s force was raised to 17,000 men. Quitting Murfreesboro Feb. 28, he reached Corinth March 24, with 80,- 000 men. Gen. Bragg had proceeded him with 10JJU0 well-drilled troops from Mobile and Pensacola. Gen. Buggies came from New Orleans with a brigade, and Mai.-Gen. Polk brought with him Gen. Cheatham’s division from the evacuation of Columbus. With these And the troops from several outlying garrisons under command of Gen.’ Beauregard, the Itooel army rapid ly increased in numbers. A regiment of Van Dorn 1 * command came inbefore April 6. Detached commands were called in. New levies were raised. A personal appeal was made by Beaure gard for volunteers and bravely re sponded to. Gan. Bragg was anxious to attack the Army of tne Tennessee as It was disembark i.M£ at Pittsburg and Crump'? Landings but Beauregard was against it. It was the policy of both Johnson and Beauregard to attack Grant and overwhelm the Army of the Tennessee before Buell, with the Army of the Ohio, could unite with it Late at night, April S, Johnson learned that Buell was moving rapidly lrom Colum bia by Clifton to Savannah. In two bourn the whole movement of the Hebei army was planned, and preliminary orders were issued to field the troops tn read In wg to move, with five days’ rations and 100 rounds of ammunition.

DEPICTING THE PRINCIPAL MOVEMENTS OF THE TROOPS.! Johnson to the Army of the Missis j sippi. Thursday afternoon the Rebet force was set in motion with brigh hopes, assured, as they were, of success. They were in light marching order and without tents. The army was divided into three corps and placed under the respective commands of Polk, Bragg amt Hardee, with a reserve under Beekenridge. THE MARCH TO THE FRONT. Hardee’s corps, masked by cavalry, marched out in advance Thursday af ternoon, and halted Friday afternoon at Mickey’s house, about seventeen miles from Corinth. Bragg’s corps bivouacked in the rear of Hardee’s. Behind was Clark’s division of Polk’s corps. Cheatham’s division waa to assemble at Purdy, march thence to Monteiey and take up his position near Mickey’s which was reached Saturday afternoon. Breckenridge, usings cross road, could not get bis wagons through the mud, and failed to reach Monterey Friday night It was Hardee's cavalry that was encountered by Bucklanda two companies Thursday. His advance Friday was on Cleburne’s brigade. It was decided at Corinth that the columns should deploy at 7 o’clock Sat urday morning and begin the attack at 8 o’clock, but through unforeseen delays, the road being narrow and heavy through continuous rain, the deploy ment and formation of the army was not completed until 4 o’clock in the af ternoon. The men were so weary and tired that they were in no condition to fight. Beauregard was of the opinion that the opportunity was lost, as it would be impossible to effect a sur- Srise. He therefore advised the aban onment of the attack. Johnston thought otherwise. He directed the troops to bivouac. Double guards were placed along his front with instruc tions to shoot any man who, no matter upon what pretext, attempted to pass. No fires were allowed to those nearest the Union camp. The men had noth ing but the cold, damp ground for a resting-place, with the sky for a cano py. Bleep could only be thought of, nothing more. At 8 o’clock a council of war was held and the necessary de tails arranged for a sudden and over whelming assault at daybreak. Every Colonel received orders to have his regiment under arms and ready to move at 8 o’clock in the morning. Thus the mantle of th night of April 5 fell on the Rebel army, and neither Grant not any of his commanders knew that the enemy, 43,000 strong, was within five miles of their camp. SUNDAY. Sunday, the 6th of April, was a glori ously bright spring day. Quiet had reigned over the camp of the Army of the Tennessee during the previous night. If proper precautions had sot been taken the day before at least some one was early on the alert now. Two hours before sunrise the preliminaries to the battle of Shiloh were unknow ingly initiated by Gen. Grant’s army. Three companies of the Twenty-fourth Missouri, attached to CoL Peabody’s brigade, Prentiss’ division, were, about 3 o'clock, dispatched on reconnaissance. Starting on the road, which ran In a southwesterly direction to Corinth, and using great caution, the little band had not proceeded far when it struck the cavalry picket-line of Hardee’s oorpe. Shots were exchanged. The cavalry videts wheeled Mid retired. The three companies continued on their way, and, although they did not know it, were ad vancing on a battalion of the Third Mississippi under MaJ. Hardcastle, which was posted on picket a quarter of a mile in front of Wood’s brigade, Hardee’s corps. Two hundred yards in front of the cqntre of the battalion Lieut. Hammock was posted with a small party, while about 100 yards in its rear was another party under Lieut. McNulty. The Union soldiers went bravely on and drove the Rebel out posts beck to their battalion. Finding it dangerous to proceed further without support, the three companies retraced their steps, bring ing their wounded with them. When within half a mile of their camp they me* O>L vof the Twenty-first Missouri, alar >t Peabody’s brigade, with five companies moving out to sup port the pickets by direction of Cm. Prentiss. Forwarding the wounded on to camp, and sending for the rest of his regiment, Mooie halted with his de tachment until tore-enforced, when he continued his advance. Gen. Johnston, while at breakfast with his staff, heard the fire of the encounter with his cav alry ridels. The time was noted. It waa Jtist fourteen minute* part 6 o'clock. Tha order was gives to advance. Full of confidence the march began. Gen. Hardee, with the Third Corps la front, presented a ltna of battle extending two miles in length. Geo, Bragg, with the Second and strongest oorpe, pi coca tod whiTtto d FiiS?Oo u* Go&rolkl was half a ratio behind. The roeerva closely up. This order was, however, after the contest once began,and, owing to the nature of the battle-field, not long maintained. After proceeding less than a mile the Union pickets were reached. These fell back contesting every inch of mound. Col. Moores regiment was the first to receive the shock of battle. He had not proceeded more than 300 yards when he met the advance of Shaver’s brigade, Hardee’s corps. Halting on the edge of a field, Moore immediately opened fire, and not only checked the Rebel advance, but actually repulsed it. During this engagement, Col. Moore was wounded, and tne command .was taken by Lieut.- CoL Van Horn, who, being re-enforced, held his ground until overpowered by superior numbers, when he was com- Eelled to fall back to the support of is brigade. THE FIRST SHOCK. The direction of the advance of ’ie Rebel army was such as to bring it first in contact witl Sherman’s left "ml Prentiss’ right. The latter was ie first to receive the shock, and it < ue with telling fbrce. His division con sisted of two brigades only. Peabody’s was the first to bear the brunt. The pickets came rushing in with the Reb els close up. The enemy’s cannon opened fire and was followed oy a rap id discharge of musketry. Still advanc ing, the Rebels continued firing deadly volleys at close range before the Union soldiers had time to form in battle. Dead and wounded men strewed the ground in all directions. The slaughtei was as terrible as it was unexpected. After some delay Prentiss succeeded in forming bis division in the rear of the camp. As soon as this was accom plished the order waa given to face to the front, and the men fought with stubborn desperation for a time. It was hopeless nevertheless. They were soon overwhelmed by Withers’ Brigade and flanked on either side, Chalmers on the left and Jackson on the right. Col. Peabody was killed, and Prentiss and his division were not only driven back In confusion but were cut off from the rest of the Union army and the Landing. With an obstinate com ge and the neroism of a soldier, Prei continued, separated aa he waa fro- a large portion of his command, to fight during the day. until he and what was left of hie division—three regiments— were surrounded by an overpowering Rebel force and made prisoners. They were dispatched to the Rebel rear, and shortly afterwards started on the road to Corinth. SHERMAN** DIVISION. As the Rebels approached Sherman’s division they saluted his pickets with a vollv of musketry, compelling them to feu back on their camp. Gen. Buck land waa notified. The necessary direc tions were given and the division was formed. To use Gen. Sherman’s own words, all his tr ops were in line of battle ready, and the ground was fav orable co them. Sherman waa riding along his lines when the first volley was fired by the advancing Rebels. His Orderly was killed. The Rebel lines of battle were coming down on them as far the eye could reach, sweeping sen s their fmt towards their left. It was an imposing sight. A ravine, the continuation or source a* Oak Creek, was between them. Worn had already been sent by Sherman ask ing McClernand for support to his left, to Prentiss that the enemy was in force in front, and to Hurlbut for him to support Prentiss. On came the Rebels with an impetuosity that knew no limit Oapt Taylor’s guns opened on them, and the Fifty-third Ohio, de tached by the position of its camp from the rest of Hildebraud’s brigade, and being off to the left and farther to the front was the first to greet Wood’s bri gade, commanded by Gen. Hindman, with volleys of musketry. Sherman’s brigade advanced to the edge of the raidne. The forward line of Wood’s brigade twice recoiled before the rapid and deadly firs of the Fifty-third Ohio, when OoL Appier ordered them to fell back and save themselves. They re tired In confusion behind McCiemand’s Third brigade, which had come up in support They wort however, rallied by Lieut.-OoL Fulton and Adjt. Dawes, aad returned to the edge of the ravine. CoJL Appier again orders* ft retreat, and the ragimenfc was fatally broken Cle •bnrnes bngade, ied by the General in person, attacked Auckland's front Gen. Anderson, with his brigade, and Capt.

Anderson'S rest* meet dura charged singly only to to broken, next fey batUlfcm Is be again L' .' ‘ . ISsfe driven back by the Union soldiers. Gen. Johnston, seeing that no headway was being made, dispatched two bri gades, Russell’s and Johnson’s from the third line, commanded by Gen. Polk, to co-operate in the assault, but Gen. Beauregard moved them to his right, beyond Hindman, to engage McClenand. Cleburne, with his brigade of six regi ments and two batteries, went to the assistance of Anderson. Coining up on his left the fresh troops dashed into the ravine of the creek and made a des perate effort to climb the wooded as cent. Buckland’s troops, however, were eoual to the occasion, and twice drove * em back with terrible slaughter. i>roken, disordered, and surrounded with their dead and dying comrades, they persisted in their vain endeavor only to be driven back with heavier losses. It was a fearful sacrifice. One third of the brigade were hont <U com t it. The ravine was indeed the valley of death, and when Pond’s brigade of Bragg’s corps came up in support, and pausing on the wooded bank, beheld the carnage that had taken place, they made no attempt to cross it. With all the bravery displayed by Bnckland’s troops, it was impossible for him to hold out much longer. Tay lor’s battery was taken in fiank by Wood’s brigade. Three guns of Water house’s battery were captured. Capt. Waterhouse was killed and two Lieu tenants wounded. The Fifty-seventh and Seventy-seventh Ohio were assailed in flank by Wood’s advance and fell back in disorder. Anderson’s brigade at last succeeded iu gaining the plateau they had struggled so hard to reach. Buckland’s rear was within range of a hostile battery, and threatened by Wood’s brigade. Sherman, notwith standing his splendid gallantry and the desperate resistance he had made, could no longer withstand the deter mined and combined onslaughts of the enemy, and was driven to take up an other position to the rear, along the Purdy road. GRANT. While at breakfast at Savannah, Ten. Grant heard the firing. He dis patched an order t<? Gen. Nelson to bring bis division up the river opposite i’ittaburg Landing. A dispatch was sent to Gen. Buell advising him of the order given to Nelson. Proceeding up the river, Grant stopped at Crump’s Landing and directed Lewis Wallace to be ready to move with bia division. Arriving at Pitts' nrg Landing, he rode to the front and found Sherman strug gling to hold his position, sent word to Wallace to move, to Nelson to hasten his march, and then visited the other divisions. Skirmishes, and chargee, and counter charges continued all aav, until about 4 o’clock Sherman moved his battered division so as to cover the road by which Lewis Wallace was to arrive, and bivouacked for the night. During the early part of the day Me demand's division was engaged, as has been shown, in supporting Sherman. The assault by the Rebel troops on Col. Marsh’s brigade was made with ir resistible force. In a few minutes the majority of the field officers were killed or wounded. Burrow’s battery, posted in the center of the brigade, seemed to have a special attraction for the enemy’s fire. All the horses were either killed or disabled. The Forty-eighth Illinois was soon deprived of its Col onel and LieutenantrColonei. Both were wounded and taken off the field. The regiment finally became disorgan-. ized. The other regiments gradually fell back. The battery waa lost The I First and Third brigades retired in dis order, When the division formed again its right connected with Sher man’s left on the Purdy -road and its left with W. H. L. Wallace’s right al though intersected with impenetrable thickets and ravines. Shortly after its new position had been taken McCler nand s division was attacked by Shav er’s brigade, A determined and des perate struggle followed. As It ad vanced it was met with such a well directed fire that it suddenly recoiled and hastily sought shelter. Later on another attack was made. The bullets poured thick and fast Into them. The field was dotted all over with the slain aad disabled. Gen. B. R. Johnson wss wounded, and his brigade quitted the field in full retreat, leaving Polk’s bat tery behind. Still later on in the day. Pond, with three regiments of his bri gade, was directed to silence one of Me- Clemaad’s batteries. They proceeded along a deep ravine, and as they ap proached the battery it withdrew, un masking a line of infantry, which opened * terri fie fire. It is irresistible, brigade fell back, is purpose com pletely frustrate. Over two hundred dead and wounded were left in the ravine. WA«P FIGHTING. The two brigades iff Gen W. H. L. Wallace's divtoon, sttnmfeMte* by Tvum w* tottojap ESTABLISHED 1850. reached the head of a wide deep ravine, filled with impenetrable thickets. Sharpshooters were posted along its border. W hen Gladden’s brigade, com manded by Col. Adams, moved against Prentiss and advanced up the slight ascent, it was suddenly checked by a slaughte ng fire from toe summit. It reelad. 1 iitated for a moment, and then retreated, lea ng inly its dead and dying to mark tne a.tempt T.. 0 brigade of A. P. Stewart was men led against Wallace’s front, but was driven back. It returned to the attack with the like result. Nothing daunted, how ever, it moved up once more, but in vain. There was nothing for it but to withdraw. Gibson was ordered to carry the position with his brigade. The troops charged in a gallant manner, but were literally mowed down by the musketry in front and an enfilading fire from the battery. Another charge was made and met with a like reception. Those who escaped could only beat a hasty retreat. Two more charges were made, only to meet with repulses and heavy loss. CoL Allen then led his regiment up the slope with desperate determination. His men fell in all directions, and he was driven to retire with only a fragment of his command. Hindman’s two brigades then tried to force Wallace from his position. They advanced boldly to the charge, but the same merciless'fire wounded Ilindman and forced back his command. The brigades led by Gen. Stewart fearlessly rushed along the acclivity a second time with the certainty of destruction —at least they were so disabled that they were not fit for further service that day. A little to the right of this scene of frightful carnage Gen. Johnston was wounded in the leg by a minie ball, which proved fatal. This was at half past 2 o’clock. The loss was a serious one to the Hebei army. There was a partial suspension of hostilities on the part of their commanders for about ;in hour. This was especially so in regard to the attack in front of Prentiss and Wallace. At the salient, where they joined, some venr destructive work w as done by Hickenlooper’s four guns until compelled to withdraw by the combined efforts of eleven batteries of the enemy. Later on Wallace and Prentiss became surrounded. In an effort to cut his way through Wallace fell mortally wounded. CoL Veatch, with the Second Brigade of Hurlbut’s Division, went to the sup port of Gen. Sherman early in the mornii g. Receiving a request from Prentiss for assistance, Hurlbut marched with his First and Third Brigades, commanded respectively by CoL Williams and Brigadier-General Lemmon, out by the Hamburg road. The brigiules were formed, the right of the Third connected with Prentiss’ left Here they withstood several charges by the enemy. The attacks of Gladden’s brigade, commanded bv Col. Adams, were valorously resisted time after time until Adams was wounded, when the brigade, beaten and demoral ized, withdrew. Col. Williams, com manding Prentiss’ First Brigade, was killed, and Col. Pugh took his place. AID IN THE AFTERNOON. In the afternoon valuable aid was rendered the Union army by the gun boats Tyler and Lexington, commanded by Lieuts. Gwin and fc&irk. Beauregard, who had assumed entire command on the death of Gen. John ston, about 5 o’clock ordered his com mand to retire and go into bivouac. It was 1 o’clock when Nelson’s divis ion of Buell’s army began to move. Gen. Ammen’s brigade was the first to cross the river. Thousands of fugitives were on the banks. The Thirty-sixth Indiana landed first and was sent for ward to the support of the battries. The Sixth Ohio was marched up in re serve. Half a mile to the right of the batteries the Twenty-fourth Ohio scoured the country to the frout with out meeting the enemy, and there bivouacked. Want of space prevents a more de tailed description of the actions of the various divisions of both armies. When the day’s battle was over Prentiss’ di vision Itadp radically melted out of ex istence. What men were left gathered about the landing or were with Hurl but’s division. Sherman's division was terribly mutilated. Its left joined Mc- Clernand’s division. W. 11. L. Wallace’s regiments that had escaped capture re turned to to their division camp. Hurl but’s division was after dark moved out to the front of the reserve artillery (which was posted near to and north west of the landing) with its left near it, and the right near McClernand’s division, which bivouacked along the eastern camp-ground of W. H. L. Wal lace’s division. Gen. Lewis Wallace’s division was out of the fight all day. At night it had taken up a position on the east bank of the Brier Creek, in close prox imity to W. H. L. Wallace’s division. THE CONFEDERATES. The Rebel army, when night came, occupied Sherman’s, McClernand s and Prentiss’ original positions. Pond’s brigade bivouacked in line, facing to the east, on the high land west of Brier Creek, and the other two brigades of Buggies’ division-selected a resting Jlace to the east of Shiloh Church, ackson’s brigade, of Withers’division, was virtuallv annihilated. Chalmers rested on the field where Prentiss sur rendered. All that was left of Gladden’s brigade bivouacked near the Hamburg road. Of Breckenridge’s reserve, Tea bue’s brigade passqd the night in Mc- Dowell’s origaae camp. The other two brigades were located between the river and Shiloh Church. Of Polk’s corps Clark’s division was in this vicinity. Cheatham’s division marched back to its camp of Saturday night. Cleburne’s brigade, Hardee’s corps, occupied Prentiss’ camp, and Mc- Clernand’s camp furnished a resting place for Wood’s brigade. Shaver’s brigade, what was left of it, was scattered all over the battlefield. The Union army lost nearly <O,OOO iu killed, wounded and captureu in this day’s battle, while the Rebel loss equaled it in killed and wounded; the loss in prisoners was small. l>ate in the evening the remainder of Nelson’s division followed Ammen’i brigade. Some hoars afterwards Crit tenden’s division arrived and took up a position north of Nelson’s division and west of the reserve artillery. Mc- Cook reached Pittsburg Landing early Monday morning with Rousseau's brigade and one regiment of Kirk’s brigade. At Sherman’s headquarters in the evening Gens. Buell and Grant met. It was determined to continue the battle in the morning, Buell to attack on the left and Grant on the right At midnight the rain was pouring down. The Union army was entirely without shelter and the Rebels were very little better off. Everything was calm and comparatively stiU, except the patter ing of the rain and the report from the gunboats every fifteen minutes, when a shell was fired over the woods to ex plode. Very few slept. The sensations of those who had fought all day cau be more easily imagined than described. To some it must hare been heartrend ing. The contemplation of what had passed, and the doubt of what was to follow, rendered their condition a meet forlorn one. Thousands suffered from cold and hunger, bat could only con tent themselves with an intense long ing for daylight. DAYLIGHT. As soon as morning broke Nelson, on the extreme left, on the Hamburg road, and Lewi* Wallace, on the ex treme right, near Snake Creek, began the attack. Beauregard knew then, if be did not know before, that Buell and his army bad arrived on the field. The result was a foregone conclusion. Nel son moved in line, with Am men’s brig ade on the left, Bruce’s in the centre, and Hasen’san the right The rem nant of Gla. idea’s brigade, with several regiments and parts of regiments, under Col. Deas, could only retire be fore the fresh troops. At 8 o’clock Nelson halted, andC ittendec*Bdivision formed on his right He again ad vanced. By this time Gen. Withers had transformed 001.

Hmm s » hrvgnWrtbea charged upon n, their support, esttfaWKpw g&«% and pm»»ed the retreating Rebels. Bowen’s brigade, of Brecken ridge’s reserve corps, under command of Col. Martin, was coming up in support. The men laid down in the ravine until the fugitives had passed over, then rising charged suddenly upon the pursuers. The effect was electrical. Numbers of those in front fell. Those who escaped streamed back in disorder. After some more skirmishing and ma neuvering there was no more fighting in Nelson's front. When Crittenden took his position in the morning his skirmishers were ad vanced across the open field to the edge of the dense timber-growth in front, and soon became engaged. A battery concealed in the woods beyond opened on the troops in line, to which the skirmishers replied. They were sent back to their original position, while the enemy's guns were silenced by Bartlett’s battery. The skirmishers were again withdrawn on a line of battle appearing in the woods. Several charges were made, including a furious one by the Rebels on Smith’s brigade. Severe fighting ensued. In smith’s final charge he so shattered the remainder of Cleburne's brigade that it retired from the contest. The battle in Crit tenden’s front was thus ended. The force that he had opposed was com manded bv Gen. Brecken ridge. SHILOH CHURCH. Acting by the direction of Gen. Buell McCook deployed Rousseau's brigade into line, facing toward Shiloh Church. Retreat by the Rebels must be by the road passing the edifice. It was there fore imperative that McCook should hold his position to the last. Buggies’ and Cheatham’s divisions, with one of Clark’s regiments, were put on the Rebels’ left at Shiloh. Church. Wood’s and Teabue's brigades to the right. After Russell and A. P.Stewait had returned from their effort to oppose Crittei len, they were shifted towards the Rebel left, to McCook’s front A company of Union regulars (Rous seau’s brigsuie) was sent into the woods as skirmish 1 ~s. They were soon driven back, follow by the Fourth Kentucky Regiment and Fourth Alabama Battal ion attached to Teabue’s Brigade. Ileavv and rapid firing ensued on both sides, and the Rel**ls were ultimately compelled to seek the shelter of the timber. Another vigorous assault was made, but the steady and well-directed fire of Rousseau's troops forced them to retire. It was warm work while it lasted. McCook, with Rousseau's men, now assumed the aggressive. He passed through the timber into an open field, when Teabue made a furious charge upon him. The struggle was a desperate one but the victory was to the Unionists, who captured two guns and took ftossession of McClernand's headquarters. Rousseau’s brigade hav ing used up all their cartridges, their Elace in the line was taken by Kirk’s rigade. Gibson’s brigade coming up about 2 o’clock was deployed on the left. Shiloh Church was now the point of concentration with both armies. Veatch’s brigade of Hurlbut’s division was moved iorward by McCook and ex tended his left. The‘enemy’s artillery was causing considerable trouble and annoyance to the division. Bouton’s batter} 1 was now brought forward and distributed among each brigade. The Rebel batteries in front of Gibson were rapidly silenced, and McCook became connected with the forces to his right. After Nelson and Lewis Wallace had opened fire on the enemy McC'ernand moved across the ravine of Brier Creek to the large open field, where his line was dressed. His command consisted, besides six regiments of his own divis ion, of three regiments of other divis ions. All of them except two were considerably reduced. With a short artillery combat MeClernand moved forward to the camp of his First Brig ade. After a short engagement with the enemy MeClernand, after an obsti nate resistance, was forced to yield. McCook now extended his right by throwing forward the Louisville Le gion. The two divisions connected. SHERMAN’S ADVANCE. Early in the morning Grant ordered Sherman to advance and recover his camps. Gathering his scattered regi ments. and the column being formed, he marched to a field to the extreme right of McClernand’s camp. He next moved the head of his column to Gen. McClernand’s right, formed line of bat tle with Buckland next to McClernand and Stewart on his right. He then ad vanced steadily under a rapid fire of artillery and musketry. On the opposite side of Brier Creek Gen. Lewis Wallace discovered in the morning the presence of a hostile line of battle. It was Pond’s brigade and Ketclium’s battery. A short engage ment followed when the enemy with drew. Pushing his line of attack to the west, Wallace advanced, sweeping the bluffs facing Snake and Owl creeks, and came into the fields in rear of Sher man’s camps. A hot engagement fol lowed—'Thompson’s battery with a Reltel battery and then infantry with infantrv. Round and about Shiloh Church the battle now raged with incessant fury. The Rebels struggled with hopeless en ergy. The Union divisions having worked their way until they formed a curved line, concentrating upon the Rebel’s convex line, a well concerted advance was made. The enemy with sto»*d it bravely for a time. Closer and closer grew the lines. The fire waxed hotter and hotter, but the troops on both sides were standing their ground, although the men w r ere dropping in all directions. Fatigue and want of rest began to tell on the enemy. The men were beginning to weaken. It was not long before some of the regiments or what was left of them began to drop out of line from utter exhaustion. The dreadful moment had come. Beaure gard saw that all was lost. There was nothing for his beaten army but re treat. It was a crushing blow. Order was sent to his extreme right to retire in alternate lines. He was fighting now to secure that retreat. As he was preparing for a final and desperate charge on the Union right his line was broken. The utmost confusion ensued, and soon the Rebel forces were in full and disorderly retreat. The struggle was over. Tile Union army was victo rious. The Rebel loss, including killed, wounded and i. .ssing, was about 11,00 U The Union loss, including those taken prisoners, made a total of 12,217. • “GOOD RESULTS."
