Shiloh Field an Hour After the Battle. It was curious to see the strategy resort ed to by some of the rebels, or their friends. While surveying the killed• and wounded in a thickly wooded • locality, but where trunks of large trees _lay about in a half rotten state. I stepped upon one to look about the ground, and, hearing something move at my feet, looked down upon what was evidently the figure of a man, covered up by a blanket, and lying close up along side the log. The ground was thickly strewn about him with bodies; many of whom I found to be only wounded. Lift ing the blanket from the wounded man's face, as I dismounted from the log, he im mediately faltered out, "Oh, sir, I'm wound ed ; don't hurt me, my leg is broken and Tni so cold and wet." Within three feet of this wounded Se cessionist lay a dead Unionist, with his hair and whiskers burned off. Just at this period two or three of our men came up, and, observing the horrid spectacle of their dead brother-in-arms, with his hair, whis kers and clothes so burned, addressed the wounded man referred to in violent terms, accusing him of aiding iu setting fire to their comrade. For a moment I felt ap prehensive that they might retaliate, but upon his assuring them that many on both sides were burned in a similar manner, quiet was soon restored. I soon learned that the leaves and dead undergrowth had been fired in various places by the explo sion of shells, and also by burning wads, the fire communicating to the bodies, burning them shockingly. Some of the wounded must have been burned to death, as I observed one or two lying upon their backs, with their hands crossed before the face, us a person naturally does when smoke or heat becomes annoying. Replacing the b:anket over the face of the wounded man, I proceeded to step over another to near by, and was con- , siderably startled by a loud exclamation of pain from another wounded rebel. Having stepped on a small stick thht hurt a wound ed limb of his by its sudden movement, he was compelled to cry out. He, too, was snugly laid up in ordinary, close alongside a fallen tree. His wound was serious, and the poor man begged for some assistance. The only thing I could do was to get him l a little. water ,and promise that somebody would soon come to his relief. I do not think he received any, however, before the following day, as it was more than we vould do to attend to our own suffering men, night being near, "What will you do with us? said the wounded man to me. "Take you, dress your wounds, give you plenty to eat, and in all probability when you are able, require yo u to take the oath of allegiance, and then send you ho me to your family, if you have one... Oh, (loci!' replied the suffering map: I have a family, sir, and that just what my old woman told me. She said if the Northern men was so ugly and had as our Generals says, they must ha . changed a heap:•. Occasionally there was a pause, accompanied by a distorted countenance, that showed the painful character of his wound. "Stranger.'' continued the pro strate, "I've got six little boys at home, and the biggest just goes of errands. I live on the River, in Alabama (the name sounded so peculiar that I was not able to recollect it): 'taint further than that cot tonwood, from the bank, where my house stands." ' " What has your wife to main tain the family with, or does the State help them ?" said I. "0, she's 'shifty,' my wife is, stranger, she's mighty shifty;' she's a Northern born woman, and her father lives in Wisconsin now. I never Was North before: - I married my wife Alabama." I was obliged to leave this man, who possessed an under -current of nobility, although his superficial knowledge had rilloWed him le follow the fortunes of his base leaders. He persisted in saying, as I left him, that he was certain he never had killed a man. DIED : At Ms reidence, near East Liberty.
