CORINTH, Miss Aprll - le0~.
EDITORS APPEAL: The writer would fain
draw comparison or make distinctions concerning the
part acted in the glorious battle recently won upon the
bloody field of Shiloh For where each and every one
acted as become men engaged in such holy as
did the entire army during the whole engagement, it
would certainly be in bad taste less draw any
paTison which would dsparsge the claims Of single in
dividus in this gallant army As the correspondents and
press generally Seem to have omitted to mention that
the veteran general whose name heads this article,
