and then retreated By order Of Col. Apply, Who
left and vas not seen any moro during the day,
but the regiment rallied and fought on Sunday
and Monday. He had no desire 10 do any ID
Justice TO COL Apply, bet il was evident that
The regiments only fault was having faithlen

csshierej since. In regard 70 the nth Ohio
regiment, the reports we're oil incorrect, thouEh
oil rev troops, they fought bravsly and well,
notwithstanding Gen. Shsrmans report was
sgaines them. This regiment lost al men,
wounded and missing. Ar. Shefnan als0 de-
Tended thss7lst Ohio regiment from the charge
OF soswsrdics. They were oil troops who were
tie. yHetheu refereed 20 the conduct Of other
Ohio regiments who foasht with the most Do
terminec bravery and held their position under
seys en- fire from the enemy, till ordered 70 fall
back, which shey did in good order. He sbsn
spoke in teams Of high praise Of the 0etman
reeimeass. He also read fron various elaeisl
reports, speaking highly Of the bravery and gal-
lantry of the Ohio regiments. He had the high
est authority for saying that Ill the stories about
surprise and the soldiers being bayooeted IN
their tents was false and exaggerated. Gen.
Prentiss' whole division was in line TO receive
tho enemy, and they fought bravely until 3
o'clock =. ~, when they wsre cus on and cap.
tured. And yet, even to-day, the shameful and
cruel charge i made that Gen. Prentiss Was a.
ken without striking blow. 1@sa '4a. 70
Mr.. POWELL mid that the Senator from
Ohio had referred 70 him. BE (Powell) had
never said anything against the Ohio soldiers; ae
had simply made . casual remark In reply TO
Senator Wade, and thought Senator Sherman

mans speech was intended 70 bolster up Gen.
Grant, ii would have . bad effect in the future.
From al that he (Harlan) could learn, Gen.
Grant was not ct to command large army
Mr. Harlan here read letter from the battle
field, saying that our army was undoubtedly
surprised ct Pittsburgh Landing, aud from all
that be could learn from the Iowa troops, this
was the general opinion Of the soldiers engaged.
Mr.. Harlan here sent to the Clerks desk an
article from . Missouri paper in praise OF the
Iowa troops. He said he did not think it proper
OF. Sen ators to criticise the conduct Of Gener.
ais Of the army in open Senate, and he should
have said nothing but for the remarks Of the
Senator from Ohio (Sberman). he (Harlan)
was not willing that soldiers from lows should
be led by Gen. Grant. He was not willing 20
set idle under any attempt to bolster the credit
Of that General.
Mr.. BROWNING had listened with pleasure
to the remarks of the Senator from Ohio (Sher.
many, but was sorry to hear the Senator from
Iowa make an attack on Gen. Grant. He
(I3rowning) had seen no evidence sufficient to
impute any neglect to Gen. Grant, but he was
not defending him (Grant) because be was from
Illinois. Her soldiers needed no defence. he
(Browing) was in possession of facts to defend
Gen. Grant. He ccntended that Gen. Prentiss
was not surprised at oil. - - A-N
