The garrison surrendered as prisoners of war
and were released on parole and allowed to take
their private effects with them. The officers re-
tanned their side arms. These were the terms

Burnside a port of entry with secure anchorage
for his heaviest vessels.

The Fighting Qualities of the Enemy
Our

The credit # great bravery in the battle near
COrinth is freely given the enemy. Indeed, this
credit to the enemy is common to all the battle
field in the West, which, il is to be observed,
have been fought against US by Western men.
We are assured that there have been no full
blooded Yankees in any of the Western battles.
In the ranks of the enemy on the fields of Shiloh
and Pittsburg there is said to have not been a
single man east ofthe Ohio. So il was at Donel-
son, when the credit Of the hardest fighting on
the enemy's side during the war was attributed
TO the Southern Illinois troops, a regiment of
whom. after being apparently broken and dis
organized, was re formed in our face at the rally
ing words Of its standard bearer. The troops
from Illinois, Minnesota and Iowa are said by
many Of our own officers to be as good fighting
material as there is on the continent.
The manners Of the Western prisoners taken
by Us are said TO be very peculiar; there is not that
bitterness toward the South displayed by the
Yankees. The prisoners taken at Shiloh are said
to have talked RELY and pleasantly, telling our
boys that they were showing great gallantry in
this war, but II was Of no use, as the North was
superior in numbers and resources; that they (the
prisOners) did not care a fig for abolition, were
fighting for the Union. and wanted the South to
give up this DID foolishness."
