Illiterate Literature*.
One of the mirthmakers hi Vanity Fair, a
publication now superior to Punch, writes un
der the name of Artemus Ward, a showman
from Indiana. Mr. Carleton, of New York,
has just published, with, many comic illustra
tions; "Artemus Ward, His Book." This is
a collection of the papers hero referred to,
with a few added to make up a volume. No
doubt, it will have many readers, for it exhi
bits practical common sense, as well as a strong
low-comedy manner of expression, but wo
apprehend that Artemus Ward, with all his
shrewdness, will soon learn, even-as Doeaticks
did, that eccentricities of authorbhip, however
amusing singly, make somewhat heavy reading
when put together in abook—in plain words,
that, in such cases, the, public feel that the
Back is not equal to the sample. There is no
heavier reading in the world than e jest-book,-
after one has got through a half a dozen
pages.. Artemus Ward, however, has made
some mirth. In this volume, the best
things are his criticism on Edwin Forrest
in « Othello," and his free-and-easy rendition
of the plot of that tragic drama; his compari
son of popular lecturers with the show
business ; his account of a rural celebration of
the laying of the Atlantic cable; his account
of a double increase in the family of Ward,
and his severafinterviews with the Prince of
Wales, Prince Napoleon,• and President Lin
coln. The temperament of any man who can
read these articles without being amused must
be saturnine,. indeed.
It does appear to as, let us add, that
Artemus Ward gives himself a vast amount
of unnecessary labor, in carefully taking pains
to misspell as many words as possible. He
takes care to let his readers see, in his last
thirty pages, that be can spell as well as
any of them, when he pleases. There may
be wit in bad orthography, but we have
never been able to detect it, after
the closest search. No, not even in
Professor Lowell's cc Biglow Papers," which
are abundantly popular. Dr. Smollett, who
commenced the bad-spelling system, in his
cc Humphrey Clinker," has a great deal to an
swer for. .He made Winifred Jenkins, an il
literate waiting-maid, write letters in bad spell
ing, but did not labor to spoil every word, as
his successors have done. Thus Mr. Thacke
ray makes one of his heroes, James Yellow
plush, actually spell Jeemes for James—forget
ful that a man would know how to write his
own name, at least. Thus Lowell makes the
Biglows put ez for as, wax for was, to say no
thing of evrige for average, cherrity for chari
ty, oils, for always,' and so on. All the. time,
be it remembered, the Biglows are writing
with such wonderful shrewdness and such un
doubted Maims of general knowledge, that
their ignorance of spelling shows itself as a
thing impossible. In like manner, Artemus
Ward has taken immense pains to spoil as
many words as possible. For instance, he has
to write such a plain sentence as follows,
"it is a pity he could not go off somewhere
quietly by himself, where he could wear
red waistcoats and apeckled neckties, and'
gratify his ambition S m various interesting
ways without having an eternal fuss kicked
up about him." This is familiar talk,
such as a' person not well educated might
use. Artemus .Ward, however, endeavors to
raise it above common place by bad spelling,
and writes .it thus, p. (79): ccit?.s, a pity he
cooden't go orf sumwharo quietly by Maser,
where be coed wearied weskits Ind speckled
neckties, and gratterfy his anabialtun in vans
interestin wase, without bavin a eternal fuss
kickt up about him." For the life of us, we
cannot bring ourselves to fancy that the sen
tence which has neither wit nor hamor in it,
in proper spelling, becomes witty or comic by
having a moiety of its words changed into bad
spelling. 'So, the simple exclamation, cc Fancy
his feelings," put by Thackeray into the mouth
of an illiterate person, has nothing, in it. It
is merely a .common exclamation. Does any
one imagine that it becomes delicately witty
or broadly humorous by being distorted into
the words Phancey his pheelinx 1" Surely,
of all ways of making mirth this elaborate bad
spelling is the feeblest, meanest, and most
vulgar. Charles Dickens, it may be observed,
bas generally avoided it. He ran into, it, a
little, in his earlier writing, as in Sam Welter's
conversation, but he speedily learned to es
chew it, well knowing that there were other
and better, and more legitimate ways of amu
sing the public. Of all who have used this
bad system, Smollett and Hood have had most
discretion. Smollett uses it in one of his
works only, where it is not very prOminenti
and Hood has only occasionally introduced it,
as in the letters of Martha Penny, in "Up the
Rhine;" in the "Market Gardener's Letter to
the Horticultural Society,"• and a very few
other instances. But the idea of carrying the
system through & whole volume, as in Thacke
ray 's Yellow-plush Papers, in Artemus Wtr.d's
articles, and in' Professor Lowell's Bigiow
Papers, is quite too much of a bad thing.
We cannot help thinking,'that resorting to
this bad-el - felling system gives prima facie
evidence . of poverty of invention or distrust of
one's power of producing effects in a legiti
mate manner—as a low comedian who has
little' fun in him will redden his nose with
ruddle to make the groundlings laugh at his
face when ho could not amuse them by speak
ing. We believe that the changing the spell
ing 'of words, to convey as idea of Scotch,
Irish, Yorkshire, Somersetshire, or Yankee
pronunciation, is a poor mode of producing ef
fect. If the ear would
.not be particularly
pleased .with any of these dialects highly ex
aggerated, surely- the eye would be worried
by straining over the words to try and
pick sense out of them. Mace upon a
time, in a' conversation with Mrs. S.' C.
Hall, the Irish story-teller, we raised the
point that the proper way to show the Irish
character, in an Irish story, was not by spell
ing the words badly; so as to give the idea
of a particularly broad pronunciation, in which
ais sounded ah, but by making the action
cc racy of the soil," and by using the idinma
tio language which the Irish themselves em
ploy.' The lady, who has herself written
much and well, thoroughly assented, lament
ing that it was too late for her to relinquish
the erroneous and adopt the proper way of
coMposition. '
These remarks have been suggested by tcAr
tennis Ward, His Book," . in which the bad
spelling system is carried out farther than in
any other—so much so as to be almost weari
some from ita monotony. Short pieces; oc
casionally.turning up in a public journal, may
be bearable, and indeed have frequently
amused us, but a collection of them in a vo
lume is formidable.' At the same time, we
recommend Artemus Ward to spell correctly,
and thereby save himself much trouble in dis
torting the English language, and put himself
fairly before the public, as other •writers do,
amusing or instructing them without spelling
badly., We think he has the -ability.-to ..do
both: . . .

[For The Prose.]
Allow me to suggest, through your journal, for the
greater facility of sending the sick and wounded soldiers
North and Baal, as well as transporting troops South
without change of caria'conneetion of the BelliMore
Railroad with the Trooton Railroad. By laying 250 feet
of rail along James street a complete connection will be
mato between Prime and Bread and : Ninth and Green
streets ; from which point they could be drawn byleco
motives to the Trentim Railroad depot, over the Ninth
street Railroad and Richmond branch. Although this
route may seem somewhat circuitous, it - would effect this
much. desired object, and the connection might be wide
at a email expense in a few dam to mat the present
emergency. and oleo form a part of a more direct con
nection to be made hereafter. SNNEX. •

PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, MAY 31, 1862.
OUR WAR CORRESPONDENCE.
FROM GEN, MCCLELLAN'S ARMY.
[Special conespondeuee of The Neel.]
CAMP ON TIDE ()MOIL/010)11NY,
SEVEN MILES 15031 HICELHOND, May 26, 1882.
Yesterday morning the army advanced some three
miles towards Richmond, and is now, as I foreshadowed,
encamped in force on the Ohlckabontiny. Our pickets
are In the swamp, through which the river runs, and
our treope concealed In and behind the Snide which
border the low ground. From one position rebel pickets
can be distinctly seen prowling about the woods which
slope up from the opposite bank. Standing In the oige
of a wood, I counted, with tho aid of a
.glass, near a
hundred horsemen and foot soldiers, all within a mile of
me. Videttes, sitting on their borne, or walking about
leading them, could be reen dotting the brown sides of
the recently•ploughed fields. Foot soldiers, standing
beside fencemovere evidently talking over the prospects
of the war, as Southern gesticulation, in all its florid
noes, seas evident to the naked eye. Guards could ho
seen relieving each other, advancing and retiring In
[quads, being finally lost to view among the trees planted
so thickly in every part of this beautiful country. Our
pickets are doubtless in hailing distance of the enemy,
and everythinmin camp is being preintred for the hottest
kind of wcrk.
PENNSYLI:ANIA. TROOPS
Pennsylvania has over one hundred thoneand men in
the army, fighting for the preservation of the Union, and
It cannot fail to excite remark that we so seldom hear of
their performing valiant deeds upon the field. A Penn
sylvania regiment wee the first to plant the stare and
stripes upon the ramparts of Newbern, aud Penney[ea.._
pia eoldiers fought sod won the battle of Drameaville.
Both facie were mentioned by the newspaper press of the
country, but beyond that nothing was said. Had it not
been for the personal statement of a Norristown gentle
man, the Bust capturere of Newbern would never have
been known i and to this day, the energy, bravery and
wisdom which secured a victory to General McCall and
his troops+, has been almost entirely overlooked.
Two reasons conspire to deprive Pennsylvania of the
laurels her troops should win. In the erganizstion of bri
gades and divisions her troops are dovetailed into otheis,
being genet ally placed under commanders whose senti
ments are against the State, and, in addition to this,
whenever an oportunity is offered for distinction, no
matter what claims Pennsylvania troops may have, they
are seldom, if ever, brought into action i unless it be sea
reserve, denied all chance of achieving a victory. Nutt.
benefits inttances could be given of this Wastleo, wore
they necessary Skirmish after skirmish has been fought,
where other troops have been preferred over Pennsylva-
Wane, when the latter should here been brought oat.
Nay, more : when a Pennsylvania regiment has done
nobly in action, though its own friends may . award it
laurels, no one else will [dil it a just mead of praise. .
We trust this injustice will cease. A hundred thou-
Sand Pennsylvanian@ are panting for ma opportunity to
bo led against the foe ; they have been months in the field,
drilling day atter day, and are unsurpassed in intelligence
and courage by any troops in the Uoion ranks. Bo not
surprised it constant disappointment should make them
a n gry ; justly angry at those who are preferred over
them. When a soldier in the advance of the army bears
the eeeiny's guns in front of him, and about the time he
anticitiates en order to move [award, sees the rear guard
brought up to gain n victory, if one is to be gained, he
cannot help lafueatirig hie ill fortune. If a victory le
won, New York or Now England or the Welt wins it;
if a decat is suffered, New York, NONT.Boglamd, and the
West unite in pouring out anathemas on the Pennsylva-
Mane, who should have been is reserve to save the day.
/mat evening, shells front the enemy were fired, but did
no perceivable damage, generally falling short. Away
off, on our left, a heavy cannonading, at intervals of
about five minutes between the reports, was kept up for
nearly an hour. Picket-shooting is strictly forbidden,

ARRIVAL OF TEE GEORGE PEABODT.
This steamer, Captain Trans, arrived at the port ,o
Newberni a few days ago, with beef cattle for the diVi•
elms. The animals; are fine specimens for epicures, and
will be well appreciated by the troops. Among the pas
sengers; are Majors Sherman,Tedder, end Ritter. 'They
bring with them over a million and a quarter of money to
pay off the troops for the months of March and April.
Several officers; and Resistant paymasters also came as
passengers. The . Peabody brought a very heavy nisi(
'from the North, which wee almost as mach longed for es
the pm master.
A CATALRY DASII
A few days ago, a squadron of the 3d New York Ca
valry made - a succewifni. fdray. In the neighborhood of
Washington, N. 0., and succeeded in capturing a num.
.bar of noted rebel°, among whom were Prod. Stanley end -
Capt. Hutton. Three two individuala have the honor of
being the plunderer,' who remora the Hatteras tamps
and apparatua from Washington into the interior, name
time ago. They were brought to Newborn, and given
tree board, for the time being, in the - City boarding house.
The only belt Nvhich will now trouble them will be the
light of other days.

The sick and feeble men in the different caw hare
been fonvarded to Beaufort. Most of them were able to
be about, though matt for duty. They: s will have the be
nefit of the sea-breeze and bathing, which wilt not be
unpleasant this warm weather. ; The thermometer is now
about 08 deism% in the shade.
BRUITS A-NDFLOWERS
. Load Yon enclosed a sample of North Carolina straw
berries. The flowers were called from a garden' whose
owner, having more fear of the " mudallie” than love
for the beautiful, took hiil departure, and has forsaken
his flower garden for the pine swamps of this delectable
State. The atrawberriee have the pecnliarity l ot being
tasteless. They are similar in every partieultr to the
Northern fruit in appearance; fiut, like the apples of
the " Dead Sea," fair to look upon, and as ' to the
taste. They grow in groat profusion, and rk very
tempting, but It's labor lot to gather them. 1 -

The report in the Northern peon, that Gemral Barn

TRAIN ON RUSSELL
THE AMERICAN CIMPION AND THE
. ENGLISH LIBELLER.
Mr. George Francis Train recently delivered a math- '
leg lecture on Special Correspondent Russell, at the
Shoe-lane Debating Ball, London. Tho question under
discoesion wan, " Was President Lincoln justified in
refrain, permission to the Times' correspondent to em
bark with the Federal army e" Alter a severe attack
upon the President atd the Administration, the audienere
seemed to look upon Mr. Train for a reply in defenoe or
the Federal policy, and most effectually ho did his ditty
in acting as the European mouthpiece of the American I
people. Two or three other speakers being on their feet,
Mr. Train begged that they might be heard first, but the
audience instated upon his occupying the floor. From
the Loudon American we take the following report of
Mr. Trainer address :
Mr. Team. Mr. Chairman and gentlemen : No debate
can show vigor unless there are two aides. [Ream] To- i
night, thus far, there has been but one. Rumen is the
pet of the Ensile/1 people, and the rebuke he hoe re
ceived at Washingtou has offended you; hence commenter
have been made to-night, too sweeping in their censure,
too Fever° In their application, for me to lot them pass un
noticed. [Hear, bear.) It is a delicate thing for a to.
reiguer to attack the itonwhold gods of any nation; but
those who' know me are aware that I generally express
my thoughts regarilma of the cousequences to myself. I
shall took at Chia question entirely through my awn eyes,
.heer itabrough my own ears, scent it with my. own nasal
organ—[laughter]—taste it with my own tongue. and
feel it with my own hands. [Applause.) A. corporation,
it is, said e hue no soul to save, or uo bottom to kick."
[Loud laughter.) Ido not expect to find the former in
the Times correspondent, but I will leave it to you to
stm, when I Lave coat uded, whether I have not din:o
ft red some sect mitre spot as a resting place for the foot of
' Linton man. [Oh! laughter; audapplease ] The new,
for half a century, as the paid organ of the governing
classes—[Oh!)—has consietently aboard and mierepre
presettea everytbieg American. [Hear, bear) Its po
licy bag been to search the criminat catenlar for the moat
obscene and revolting cases of. crime, in order to portray
them in tie columns as the leading characteristics of the
American people. [That's so. j Out of a hundred leal
era in the American papers, on commerce, education, or
politics, there might have been one to title on crime; that
article was at once seized neon by the Times to prove to
Europe from our own mouths how demoralised a e had
becenie. Vice was alwmeinserled in leaded type : Virtue
was not a characteristic of Republica. By cosecant rope
:M.lone of theta slanders, everything that was vile in the
history of man was stamped open the American. [Oh!
and hear, hear.) Americans aro generous as well as just,
and you can imagine how mortified they must have been,
after the warm-hearted shake -of the baud they gave
your future Ring, to see the Times preach day after day
against the Union and the law. [Hear, hear.] At the
commeucenteet of the wet: Mr home' was mot out to
describe the mcissitedes of the strife. We knew hint, as
.we know all your writers; and are drat to discover their
talents. Thackeray- was known in every village, and re
turned to England with money in his pocket to be told
when lie was defeated at Catunridge that there were only •
three nen on the electoral" Het who • bed ever heard of
him. [Laughtie ] Rueeell relgued supreme as the king
of the correspondents, and his graphic descri ptione of Cri
mean and 'lndian warfare wore familiar to us all. So many
errors have been committed to-night by the speakers
who have preceded me, you had better let me giro a
'hasty since at his career; first stating three dis
tinct nt Relives. Russell Is au. Irishman, not an
Englishman. [Hear, bear ]. Russell wee not the
' Times' correspondent in Maly, mei you ought to .
know as well aml, that -it ,was poor Bowlby and not
Russell who succeeded Cierk in tibias. [Hear, hear.]
Nobody seems to know whether Russell was born in
1816, or 1821; - but, graduating at Trinity, he com
menced smiting for the Times in 1343. Living at a SM.
nation time, when O'Connell wee the Sensatiou loader,
Russell became the Sensation letter-writer, end, with the
exception of tbe short period from 1845 to 1847, "hen he
wee on the Chronicle, he tae been chided' the Times'
staff. In 1850 he became a barrister, the literary dodge
' often enteensed to open the door to good society. [Oh !].
llie gentleman Bays oh; but it is notorious that he nevem
held e briefs were a wig, or gave a legal opinion. pear,
titaie] lie aid what Carter Hall and Make-Peace
%hackers) , did before bite—paid the hundred-pound
barrister-Mem, to obtain the beat Mendi of inn
West End. In 1854 , and 1855 he was the tyrant of
the mum at the Crimea, and, so unfairly did ha use
the means at Ide command, there are many Manors
now in the British army who treat him with the
seem which be deeerves. [Cries of no.]- libe attack
upon the Commissary Depertment, did more to prolong
the contest than is generally known. I was told, when
at St Petersburg after the war, that the Emperor re
ceived telegraphic despatches from London as to the
wretched conditions of the shied forces, as described by.
"our own correspondent," which made the Russian
more vindictive and more determined, more obstinate,
and stimulated them to make greater exertions to poor'
down creole to the Crimea. [Hear, hear, and True.)
England may thank Russell for - the additions to many a•
Crimean graveyard, and many a neblo home in England
lea,, been Made sad by this 'reckless trader In human re-.
potation, who yeeterdey came sciveliog like a whipped
schoolboy before the British people, in a three-columa
attack upon the American Government, simply because
that Government has enforced its orders, not against
Mr. Russell only, but against all the correspondents
of the world, American as well as European. [Lend
cheers] France, lie forgets to mention, was the dear
ally of England in the Beaten war, yet Its was refused
permission to enter the French camps, although lira allied
generals nate acting in concert [Applause.] The Em
peror sent a special order prohibiting his entrance;inside
the ranks. It was enough to see the Times play into the
hands of Russia, by slandering the English army, with
out libelling the French as well. President Lincoln has
only followed the action of some oilier . distingaished
names. Did not Sir Charles Napier refuse to take a
correspondent with him,ato the Baltic? [ Yes ] - Did
.not the Duke of Wellington- prohibit correspondents
folloning the army In the Peninsula] '[Hear, and -Yes.]
Did ho hot say that correspondeuts omelette' to be hanged
who woe% comment open a g4eraler military plans 1 00
You think that the British Government would allow any
newspaper correspondent, iu the employ of any other Go
vernment, to criticise any of the movements - of the army
on the field of battle? [No.] flow strange that this

painted it well. [Cheers.] That year his college dubbed
him LL.D. The next year lie was In India, and, in
1854... established that lamentable failure, the Army and
Nan y Gazette. , And now we come more directly to the
question iti debate, Ras the President justified in , his
ezpuesion ? [Hear, hear.] To answer it, let me ask, are
the. American people justified he - taming any lawn
' that ' they may think proper, witbout - coaikulting the
London Times? [Hoer, hear, and- laugliter.] Having
passed an order 'cutting 'off all

Mr. Russell should •be an eicentlon—[hear, hear,
and a voice. "Yon allow the Amertoen cotes
spondente to be-there."] I tell yon leis not true, unless
YOU mean that every officer Is a correspondent, and every
•soldier a letter-writer, proving that education in America
is on tee flood-tide of civilization: [Cheers.] In order
to show yen the contemptible part this wolf In sheep's
clothing tuts played [dissent] let me trace his vulpeoular
course since ho lauded. Received at New York with
open army, introduced at our clubs, and In our families;
he writes his first letter,
and prints his first libel, de
claring that there was no Union feeling, no-Union senti
ment, no Linton army, in the North; predicting the en

where 00901 opened Wide again to give him welcome. and

[Oh! and hear, hear.) From this point he wrote
that repeblicentsm was dead in the South--the Confede

ters returnei to America, our independent press soon
discovered, instead of as abler heeled, healthy argument,
nothing but false hair, false teeth, dyed whiskers, a glass
eye, and a I. °ode n leg; in other words, a stereotyped
sham in deed of a thee specimen of English honesty. It
will be remembered that, some time ago, correspondents
were prohibited from following the army ; this was fol.
lowed up by the Ceremonias t seizure of the telegraph
offices. Here was discovered a One nest of traitors, and
who do you suppose was tbe- chief r, hber in"the band 1
Why, William Iforcardltumell, thereliable correspondent
of the London Times I [Hear, hoar, and Ohl] lobe 'nye •
tery was at last travel, the secret tame out, and the
hostility of the Times—the Secession spirit of the
Government—was explained ; and the gigantic plot
discovered, which already has filled many a West
ern graveyard, and has reined, is ruining, and will
continue to ruin, thousands in England ! The time has
arrived for the world to understand that thewhole action
of the Times, through its leaders and its correspondents,
has bees to weigh golden sovereigns in the scale against
human life and human misery. Somebody has made
minform—rumor points to Rothschild and some distin
guished hatnee in political life, as the accomplicee of the
Times, in this nefarious plot to involve the Englleh and
Americans in an inhuman war, that they might make a
few more hundred thousands in the Stock Exchange.
[Shame, end a voice, "You have no right to make such
a statement without proof." Wee of order.) Unfortu
nately, I have too much proof. Among the despatches
seized by the Government, title one wee discovered :
WAIIIIINOTON, Dec. 27th, half past two, P. M.—Freim
W. IL Russell to Samuel Ward, New York Hotel. Act
on this telegram as though you heard good news for :you
and me. , ' [Hear, hear.) This, you remember WAS the
crisis of the Treat affair. Russell had just obtained the
Important scent from Lord Lyons, that she rebel'confmis
eionerswonld be given up, and sent his orders to pur
chase, Vielit'sird left, all kind of stocks in the New York
market—[shame)--and to make thu speculation sure, he
wrote a tel to the Times that night, to go by the next
day's steamer, saying that be knew Mason and Slideil
not only would Oct be given up—[thane]—but that there
wee every prospect of immediate war. [Shame.) Now,
I maintain that such acts are sufficient to condemn him
Who tribunal of English public opinion, and to fasten
upon the Times the entire responsibilit y of the terrible dis
tress thatnew exiets in the marinfachtring districts—Dear,
hear)—and now agitate. the mind of the London laborer
and she London poor. It is well known that important
despatches were suppressed by your Government for three
weeks; and that important operations took place upon the
Stock Exchange through Rothcbilda , broker. Reed the
weak reply of the Morning' Post to the Morning Star.
It is also rumored that .111 r. Peabody made, during these
memorable three weeks, by purchasing American securi
ties, twice as much as he has recently paid for a leader
in the Times. Mr. Peabody has, however, done one act,
I understand, for which I forgive him in pad, for being
so bad a Union ions, and so good a Secessionist. Some
yeere ago, he was black-balled at the Reform Club; as it
is notorious, in this country, that you can get asythiug
by paying for it, no one was surprised to hear, eince his
munificent donation, that the Reform Club bad made him
en honorary member. It is also stated that, in this case,
kir. Peabody has proved himself too much of au Arnett:
can to accept it Meant In conclusion, I may men
tion the meanest and the lest act of Mr. Russell's con
temptible course in America. •
Weil knowing the order of the Department prohibiting
all correspondents from following the army, he sneaked
on board the Government trausport under the quasi pro
tect', nof his American friend, General eletheibee ; and
then it was that the Secretary was obliged to re-issue the
order, never for a moment co:teeming that any Baguet'
gentlemen would have done so mean a thing. The

HEADQUARTERS OF TEE ARMY OF TOE MISSISSIPPI,
COELETti, HISS, April 11, 1862. •
GENERAL : OD the 2d ult., having Eboo,tolUEd COUOlGL—
sively, from the movements of the enemy on the Ten
lIPSI4III riv.r, and from reliable sources of information,
that biro num would be to cut off mY communications in
West Tennessee with the iteeteru and Southern States,
by operating from the Tennessee river, between Crump's
Lancing and Eastport, as a base, I determiueo to foil his
designs by concentrating all my available forced at and
a t ound Corinth.
Yucanwhile, having called on the Goiernors of the
States of Tentmemm, aftsaiesippl, Alabama, and Louisiana
for furnish additional troops, come of them, chiefly testi
meets Iran Louisiana, soon reached this vicinity, and,
with two divisions of General Polk's command from
Columbus, and a tine corps of troops from Mobile and
Pensacola, under Mnior General Bruce, constituted the
army of the Mississippi. At the same time, General
Johnston being at Murfreesboro, on the march to form a
junction of his forces with mine, was called ou to •end
at least a brigade by railroad, so that We might fall on
and Muth the enemy should he attempt au advance from
under bis gunboats. : the call on General Johnston was
promptly complied with. His entire. force was also has
tened .in this direction, and by the let of April our
united forces were concentrated along the Mobile and
Ohio railroad from Bethel' to Corinth, and on the Mem
phis nod Charleston Railroad from Corinth to luka.
- • .
It was then determined to assume the offensive, and
strike a sadden blow at the enemy ,n position under
General Grant, on the watt bank of the Tennewes, at
Pittsburg. and in the direction. of Eavannah, before
he woo reinforced by the army under, Gen. Buell,
then known to be advancing for that ourimse by ,rapid
marches frem Nashville, via Columbia. About the
tame lime General Johnston was advised that such an
operation conformed to the expectations of the Prosi•
nt. •
By a raid and vigorous attack on General Grant it
was expected he would be beaten back into his trans
ports end the river, or captured in time to enable us to
profit by the victory, and remove to the rear all the stored
and munitions that would rat into our hands in such an
event, before the arrival.of General Buell's army on the
ectne. It due never contemplated, however, to retain the
position tune gained, and abandon Corinth, tho strategic
point of the campaign.
!Want of proper (Aiken, needful for the intiper organi
zation of divisions and brigades of en army brought thus
suddenly together, and other difficulties in tho way of an
effective organisation, delayed the movement until the
night of the 2d instant, when it was heard from a reliable
quarter that the junction of the enemy's armies was near
at band ; it was then, at a late hour,determined that the
attack should be attempted at once, incomplete and im
4erfect as were our preparations for such a. grave and
momentous adventure. ^ -eiceordinple, that night,' at one
o'clock A. M., the-prebmioary orders to the commanderi
of corps were Issued for the movement.
On the following morning the detailed ordera of, move
ment, a copy of which is herewith marked ‘‘ A," were
Issued. and the movement, after some delay,' commenced
—the troops being in admirable spirits. It was extended

attack them canyon thi..f-tinstisnt. The mon, how
• ever, for , the moat part, - Wein "unused to marching—the
roads narrow, andxraversing a densely. wooded country,
became almost impassable after a severe rain storm on
the night of the 4th, Which - drenched the troops its hi
volute; hence our force' did not reach the Intersection of
the roade from Pittsburg and• Hamburg, In tbe immediate
vicinity of the enemy. until late Saturday afternoon.
• It was thee decided that the attack should be made on
the, next morning, at the earliest hour practicable, in
accordancowith the orders of movement—that le, in three
lines of battle, the first and second extending from Owl
creekort the left to -Lick creek on the right, a distance of
about three miles, supported by the third and the reserve.
The first lineoteder Major General Hardee, was consti
tuted of his eerie, augmented on his right by. Gladden's
brigade of Major General Braeg's corps, deployed in line
of battle, with their respective artillery following imme
diately bythemain road to Sittebnrg, and the cavalry in
rear of the wings. The Second line, composed of the
other troops of Bragg's corps, followed the fleet eta die
lauce of five hundred yards, In the - same order as the
first. The army corps under General Polk followed the
second line, at the distance of abont eight hundred Pude,
in lines of brigades, deploYed with their batteries in rear
of each brigade, moving by the Sittiettrg road; the left
wing supported by cavalry; the reserve, under Brigadier
: General Breckinridge, followed closely the third line, in
the game order, its right wing supported by cavalry.
These. two 'corps - constituted the reserve, and wore to
support the front Bees of battle, by being deployed when
required on the right and left of the ,Pitteburg road, or
otherwise act according to the exigenolee of the battle
• At BA. M: on thefith Met, a reconnoitring party of
the enemy having become engaged with our advanced
pickets, the commander of the forcesgave orders to begin
tbio' movement and attack as determined upon, except
that Trabbe's brigade, of Breckinrid&e's division, was
,deliched and advanced •to support the left of Bragg's
corps and ,line of battle,.

and the other two brigedes,were directed; to advance by

Thirty minutes after ti &block A. M., our. lines and

misirg rpirit. The front line.wes „engaged at once, but
advanced steadily, followed in due order with roualreen

Al . * enemy made a stand, with hie messes rallied for
the.etruggle for hie encampments. Likej an Alpine ava
lanche oar troops moved forward, despite the determined
resistance of the enemy; until after 6 o'clock.P. la., when
;,we were in possession of all encampments between Owl
and Lick creeks but one. Nearly all of , his field artillery,

'The chief command then devolved upon ma, though at

in my physical conditior, I would have gladly avoided,.

It was after mx o'clock P. M., as before said, when
the enemy's het position was carried, and his forces
finally broke and sought refuge behind a commanding
eminence, covering the Pittsburg Landing, not more
than half a mile diet/int and under the gone of the gun
boats, which opentd on our eager columns a fierce and
annoying fire with bhpt and shell of the heaviest descrip
tion. Darkness was close at hand. Officer's and men
a ere esbauated by a combat of over twelve hour° with
out ford, and jaded by the march of the precodiog day,
through mud and water, it was therefore impossible to
collect the rich acid opportune spoils of war scattered
broadcast on the field left in cur poasession, and imams
ticable to make any effective dispositions for their re
moval to the rear.
I accordingly established my headquarters at. the
church of Shiloh, is the enemy's encampment. with
Major General Bragg, and directed cur troops to sleep en
their arms, in such positions in advance and rear as corps
commanders should determine, hoping from news re
ceived by a epeeist despatch that delays bad been en
countered by Gen. Buell in his march from Columbia,
and that his main forces, therefore, could not reach tne
field of battle In time to save General Grant's shattered
fugitive forces from capture or destruction on the follow
ing day.
During the night the rain fell in torrents, adding to the
discern:cm t and hammed condition of the men; the
enemy, moreover, bad broken their rest by a discharge,
at meesurNl intervals, of heavy shells, thrown from the
gunboats ; therefore, on the following morning, the troops
nodes my commend were not in condition to cope with
an tonal force of fresh troops, armed an equipped like
our advereary, in immediate possession of his depots, mid
ebeltered by such en auxiliary ae the enema's gnoboata.i
About six o'clock on the morning of the 7th of April,
however, a hot Area artillery and musketry opened from
the enemy's Quarter on our advanced line, assured me of
Disjunction of his forces, and soon the battle raged with
a fury which eatisaed me that I was attacked by a large
ly superior force.. But from the onset our troops, not
withstanding their fatigue and losses from the battle of
the day before, elhibikd the most cheeriug, veteran-like
steadiness On the right and cootre the enemy was re
pulsed in every attempt he made with his heavy column ,
in that Quarter of The field j on the left, however, and
nearest to the point of arrival of his reinforcements,
he drove forward line after line of his fresh troops,
which were met with a resolution and courage
of which our country may be proudly hopeful.
Attain and again our troops were. ttrotight to the
charge, invariably to air the positiontudierue, invariably
to drive hack their foe. But hour by hour thus opposed
to en enemy constantly reinforced, ourzrankt were per
eeptibly thinned under the unceasing, withering fire
n/ the enemy, and by-twelve merldian.eightosn boars of
hard - lighting had email,' exhausted. a large number,
my last reserves had necessarily been diepozed of, and
the enemy wee evidently receiving fresh reinforcements
after each repulse ; . accordingly. about ono P. ht., I de
termined to withdraw from eo unequal a conflict, securing
such of the results of the - victory of the day before as
wee then practicable.
°Moms of my staff' were immediately despatched with
the neceseary orders to mate the best dispoqtiou for a
deliberate, orderly withdrawal from the field, and to
collect and poet a reserve to meet the enemy, shuild he
attempt to pull) after us. In this connection I will
mention particularly my adjutant mineral, Oolonel Jor
dan, who wee of much assistance to me on this occasion,
as he bad already been on the field of battle on that and
the preceding day.
About i o'c.ock P. M. the lines in advance, which bad
repulsed the enemy in their last fierce assault on our left
and centre, received the orders to retire; this was done
with uncommon !steadiness, and the enemy mode no at•
tempt to follow.
3he line of troops establiebed to corer this morainal
bad been disposed on a favorable ridge comet sliding the
•ground of Shiloh Church ; front this position our artil
lery played upon the woods beyond tor a while, but utem
no visible enemy, and whbont I-, ply. Sons s .tlefled that
no serious nursuic would be etternetid, this last line was
withdrawn, and never did iiinpa ti battle-field in
better order q even the stragglers fell into the renal, and
marched off with those who bad stood more steadily by
their colors. A second position was taken up about a
nide in rear, where the approach of the enemy wilt
waited for nearly an boor ; but no effort to follow wall
made, and only a small detachment of horsemen could
.be seen at a distance from this last position, warfly ob
serving our movements.
derangiog, through MY staff ollkers, for the comple
tion of the movements thus begun, Brigadier General
Breckioridge wag left with his command LB a rear guard
to bold the ground we had *recoiled the night preceding
the diet battle, Just in front of the intersection of the
Pittsburg and Bamberg roade, about four miles (rem the
loaner place, while the reel of the arm, passed to the
rear in excellent order.
On the followingday General Brecklmidge fell back
about three miles to Mickey's, which position we con
tinued to bold, with our cavalry thrown conelderably
forward In immediate proximity to the battle-field.
Unfortunately, towarda i Ight of the 7th instant it be
gan to rain heavily ; thin continned throughout the
night;
,the roads became almost impassable in many
places, and much hardship and suffering now awned be
fore all theregimenia reached their encampments. But
despite the heavy casualties of the two eventful days of
the Gth and Tth of April, this army iemoret confident of
ultimate siciens than before. its encounter • with the
enemy.
To give more in detail the operations of the two bat
tles, resulting from the movement on Pittsburg, thin
now attempted, most have delayed this rep'rt for weeks,
and interfered materially with die Important 'duties of
my position ; but I may be permitted to say that not
only did the obstinate conflict for twelve hours oci Sun
day, leave the Confederate army masters of the battle
field, and our advotsary beaten, but we left that field on
ba next day only after eight hours' incessant battle,
with a superior army of fresh troops, whom we bai re
pulsed in every attack on our lines—so repulsed and
crippled, indeed, as to leave it unable to take the field for
the campaign for which it was collected and equipped at
such enormous expense, and with such profnaion of all
the appliances of war. These successful events were not
achieved, however, as before said, without severe lon—
a loss not to be measured by the number of the slain or
wounded, but by the high social and personal worth of
so large - a, number of those who were killed or disabled,

degree antileasant—one due, however, to the brave men
tinder me, as a contrast to the behavior of molt of toe'
army who fought so heroically. I allude to the fact that
some officers, non-conitniesioned ofllcers, and men, aban
doned their colas early to the Brat day to pillage the
etiptnred encampments; others retired shismofolly from
the Beld on both dnir, while the thunder of cannon and
the roar and tattle of musketry told them that their
brothesevrtrebting slangbiered by the fresh legious of
the nervy. I have mitered the names of the most con
spietious.opon this roll of laggards and cowards to be
published in orders.
IL rt mains to state that our loss in the two days in the
killed outright was 1,728. wounded 0.012, missiag 050,
maims an aggregate of cssualtiea of 10,6',43.
This sad list tells in simple language of she stout fight
mode by our countrymen in fronted' the rude long chapel
at Shiloh, especially when it is known that on Mandan
from eibauetlon and other causes, not twenty thousand
men on our side could be brought into action.
Of the losies of the enemy I have no exact knowledge.
Their newspapers report it as 'eery heavy. Unquestion
ably It was greater, even in proportion, than our own,
on both days ; for it was apparent to all that their dead
left on the field outnumbered ours two to one.
Their casualties, therefore, cannot have fallen many
short of 20,C00 killed, wounded, prisoners, and miss
ing.
Through information derived from many sources—in
cluding the newspapers of the eneme—we engaged, on
Sunday;the divisions of Generals Prentive; She:enact,
Barlbnt, McOlernand, and dmith, of 9,000 men oath, or
at least 40,999 men. Thia force was reinforced on Sun
day night by the divisions of Generals Nelson, McCook,
Crittenden. and Thome+, of Major General BrieWe army,
lora. 26,000 strong, including all acme. Also, General L.
Wallace', divibion of General Grant's army, making at
leest 33 000 fresh troops, which, added to the remnant of
General Grant's forces on Monday morning. amounting
to over 20,090, made an aggregate force of some 53,000
men at treat arrayed against us on that day.
Jn connection with the reaults of the battle, I eboukt

"LIST OF THE KILLED."
Mothers who sit in dumb terror.and dread,
Bolding that terrible list,
Fearing to look lest you see mid the dead
The name of the boy you have kissed—
Kissed e'en as those who in anguish and pain,
Kiss preoioua feces of clay,
E'en as you would had you ehudderingly lain
That dear one in grave-robes away—
I pity you, Fitting with faces so white,
Striving to parry the blow;
I know how that name will tenure your sight,
Can fathom the depth of your woe.
By the pang that rent my desolate heart,
By the ernehing weight of despair,
I know how you too will shudder and start,
Reading that dear-loved name there.
I know you'll bush that passionate ory,
• Thinking of him as be lies,
With beautiful face upturned to the sky,
Death veiling the glorious eyes.
"Fighting be fell !" Does a feeling of pride
Lighten your grief as you think
Bow brave was the boy that went from your side,
How he would not falter or shrink?
The mother's love triumphs. Men call women
weak—
Ab, well, perhaps it is so !
I know there are tears o'n now on my cheek
For the boy that's laying so low.
I know that I start at each step on the
With wistful glance tarp toward the door,
Thinking, perchance, that toy darling is there,:
Peace ? heart he can ever neyertpore.
But still there's a thought that softens nik Woe—
Above there's a glorified list;
And one day I'll hear with rapturous glow
The name of the boy I have kissed.
