MONTEREY, April 8, 1862.
SIR AT the close of the conflict of yes
terday, my forces being exhausted by the
extraordinary length Of time during which
they were engaged with yours on that and
the preceding day, and it being apparent
that you had received, and were still receiv-
ing relnfcrcements, l felt it my duty to
withdraw my troops from the immediate
scene of conflict.
Under these circumstances, in accordance
with usages of war, l shall transmit this,
under flag of truce, to ask permission to
send mounted party to the battle field Of
Shiloh, for the purpose of giving decent in
terment to my dead.
Certain gentlemen wishing to avail them
selves Of this opportunity to remove the re-
mains of their sons and friends, 1 must res
quest for them the privilege of accompany
ing the burial party, and in this connection
l deem it proper to say, am only ask ng
what have extended to your countrymen
under similar circumstances.
Respe ctfully. Gen'l, your ob't serv't.

Who Killed Baltic Peyton

II is generally conceded that Mr.. George
ID. Strong of st. Paul, killed Baillie Pey~
ton. We copy what the Nashville CORES.
pendent of the Chicago Times says in rela-
ton to the matter:
met accidentally with the soldier who
is believed by his comrades to have fred the
bal! which killed young Baltic Peyton at
the battle of Cliff Greek; and when | hear
the circumstances in detail, l think it
strange that he has not been promoted for
gallant conduct. To repeat them will only
be doing justice to Peyton as well as to the
Federal soldier who killed him. His rank
was that of Lieutenant, though he CON.
manded company. From the statement
OF our soldiers, he seems to have been by
some movement separated from his com.
mand, for he was almost alone when shot.
Yet ia the killing there was no lack of sold.
ierly courtesy, as he was at the instant firing
upon them with his repeater, at less than ten
PAGES, and the third man from him who shot
the fatal ball fell but an instant before the
gallant Peyton dropped from bis saddle. 1t
was generally allowed 10 the company of
which he is member that Mr.. q. G.
Strong, native of Massachusetts, and
private IN company D, Second Minnesota,
had the honor of the deed. He is an un~
obstrusive young gentleman of mild and
amiabIe disposition. In the French army
so remarkable service would have COM
mended him to the notice of commanding
officers. 1t is not the killing of Ballie
Peyton, but the killing of brave foeman
in the midst of desperate battle, which
claims notice. Baltic Peyton was an excel
lent young gentleman, at heart opposed to
the rebellious war in which be enlisted
but he joined the service to relieve his father
who was also loyal-from rebel impor-
tunities. Yet the brave young man who
killed him is entitled to as much reward
from the government as if be had killed the
vilest traitor in the confederate service. 1t
is not the act, but the gallantry which
prompted it and the GOODNESS displayed,
which should be noted.

also the whole camp to be destroyed. Here
we found much ammunition for field pieces,
which was destroyed also two caissons and
a general hospital with about 288 confede.
rate wounded, and about so of our men.
Not having the means of bringing these off
Colonel Dickey, by my orders, took a sur.
render, signed by medical director Lyle and
all the attending surgeons, and pledge to
report themselves to you as prisoners of
war; also pledge that our wounded would
be carefully attended and surrendered to US
tomorrow, as soon as ambulances could 20
out.
l enclose the within document, and res
quest that you cause to be sent out wagons
or ambulances for the wounded of ours, to.
morrow also, that wagons be sent out to
bring in the many tents belonging to US
which are pitched all along the road for
four miles. l did not destroy them; how
ever, 1 know the enemy cannot move them.
The roads are very bad, and the road is
strewn with abandoned wagons, ambulances
and timber boxes. The enemy has succeeded
in carrying off the guns, but has crippled
his batteries by abandoning the hind timber
boxes OF at least twenty guns. l am salts
fed that the eneny's infantry and cavalry
passed Eick Greek this morning, travelling
all last night, and that be left behind all Of
his cavalry which has protected his retreat,
but the signs OF con usion and disorder
mark the whole road. The check sustained
by US at the fallen timbers delayed our ad.
vance, so that night came upon US before
the wounded were provided for and the dead
buried and our troops being tagged out by
three days hard fighting exposure and pri-
walton, l ordered them back to camp, where
all now are.
have the honor to be, your obedient
servant, Brig. Gen. w. L. SHERMAN.

and courage. All the grounds beyond our
camps for miles have been reconnoitered by
him, and platts carefully prepared under
bis supervision, giving accurate information
of the nature of the approaches to our lines.
During the two days. battle be was con-
stantly in the saddle, leading troops as they
arrived to points where their services were
required. During the engagement be had
one horse shot under him.
The country will have to mourn the loss
of many brave men who fell at the battle of
Pittsburg, or Shiloa, more properly. The
exact loss in killed and wounded will be
known in day or two at present l can
only give it approximately at 1900 killed
and $500 wounded.
The loss of artillery was great, many
pieces being disabled by the enemy's shots,
and some losing all their horses and many
men. There we're probably not less than
two hundred horses killed.
The loss OF the enemy, in killed and left
upon the field, was greater than ours. In
wounded, the estimate connot be made, as
many of them must have been sent to Cor
NTH and other points.
The enemy suffered terribly from demon.
alization and desertion. A flag of truce
was sent in today from General Beaure-
gard. 1 enclose herewith copy of the
correspondence.

Your obedient servant,
U, S. GRANT.

GEN. SHERMAM'S REPORT.

HEADQUARTERS FIFTH DIvIsIoN,l
Tuesday, April 8, 1862.
Major General Grant, Commanding Army in
the Field:
SIR with the cavalry placed at my
command, and two brigades of my htigued
troops, went this morning out on the Co.
ninth road. One after another abandoned
camps OF the enemy lined the roads, with
hospital flags tor their protection. At all
we found more or less wounded and dead
AT the forks of the road we found the head
of Gen. Woods division. At that point l
ordered the cavalry to examine both roads,
and found the enemy's cavalry. Colonel
Dickey, Of the Illinois cavalry asked for
reinforcements | ordered Gen Wood to
advance the head of his column cautiously
on the left hand road, whilst conducted
the head of the third brigade of the fifth
division up the right hand road.
About half mile from the forks was
clear field, through which the road passed,
and Immediately beyond space of some
two hundred yards of fallen timber, and be-
You'd an extensive camp. The enemy's cav
airy could be seen in this camp, and after a
reconnaissance, 1 ordered the two advance
com )anies of the Ohio 18th, Col. Hide
brand, to deploy as skirmishers, and the
regiment itself forward into line, with an in
terval of one hundred yards. In this order
l advanced cautiously until the skirmishers
were engaged. Taking it for granted this
disposition would clear the camp, held
Col Dickey 4th Illinois cavalry ready for
the charge. The enemy's cavalry came
down boldly to the charge, breaking through
the line of skirmishers, when the regiment
of infantry, without cause, broke, threw
away their muskets, and fled. The ground
was admirably adapted to defence of in
fantry against cavalry, the ground being
miry and covered with fallen timber.
As the regiment of infantry broke,
Dickey's cavalry began to discharge their
carbines and fell into disorder, l instantly
sent orders to the rear for the brigade to
form line of battle, which was promptly exc.
cuted The broken cavalry and infantry form
ed on this line, and as the enemy's cavalry
came to it our cavalry in turn charged and
drove them from the field. I advanced the
entire brigade upon the same ground and
sent Colonel Dickey's cavalry mile fur
ther on the road.
On examing the ground which had been
occupied by the 77th Ohio, we found fifteen
dead and about twenty-five wounded
sent for wagons and had all the wounded
| carried back to camp and the dead buried;

land, we returned to effect the capture: We
had taken our position on the road 80 as to
secure the capture of all, but, unfortunate.
ly, when within half q mile of them, they
were warned of danger by negro, and fed
precipitately to the woods, Captain Austin,
in command of the party, making his escape
on horse cut from buggy. 1t being too
dark to follow, we remained picketing the
road until morning. No further opportu-
nifty offering, we resumed our march, and,
after travelling about sixty miles, reached
Murfreesboro about two o'clock next morn.

The whole country through which we
passed turned out in masses to welcome US.
I have never before witnessed such enthu-
siasm and feeling. Men, women, and chill.
dren never wearied in their efforts to minis
ter to our wants. All expressed themselves
grati6ed at the presence of Southern SOL
dlers in their midst. A handsome flag was
presented US by the ladies of Gallatin, and
some accompanied US even to the ferry.
Upon our return number of Colonel
Bates regiment were enabled to accompany
US. Very respectfully yours,
JOHN H. MORGAN,
Commanding.

DESCRIPTION OF THE TOwN-REMAINs OF
CORVALLIS INTRENCHMENTs- A PAR
ALLEL.
We find the following description of
Yorktown, Virginia, in the New York
World:
Yorktown, Virginia, is situated on the
right bank of the York river, eleven miles
from its mouth, and seventy miles east of
Richmond. 1t was settled in 1905. Before
the commencement of the rebellion York.
town was quiet. unobstrusive little vii
lage of between twenty and thirty houses
halt of them uninhabited, with the ruins of
tenements destroyed during Corvallis
siege visible everywhere. The American
breastworks were nearly obliterated, while
the more permanent intrenchments of the
British were still comparatively perfect.
The outworks which the latter were com.
PEELED to evacuate on the night of September
20, 1871, lies On the western skirts of the
town, and are probably still in good preser-
walton The most eastern of the redoubts
stormed by the allied forces on the 18th of
October, 1881, being near the river, has
nearly beer washed away but that taken
by the French portion OF the army may
still be traced. The main works, situated
on the eastern edge OF the town, were in
excellent keeping in 1854, and must have
been formidable when bristling with cannon
and occupied by soldiers. The embankment
was too broad 10 be perforated by cannon
shot and too steep to be easily scaled by
an assailant The field where the formal.
ties of the surrender occurred is a respecta-
bic enclosure, of some hundred acres, and it
was about the same in 1871. It joins the
town on the eouth. The very spot where
Gen. O'Harra is said to have delivered up
his sword and apologized for the absence of
CORVALLIS, is now marked by two poplar
trees, which were planted in commemoras
ton of the event. From the top of the bill
on which the town is situated, there is an
excellent view extending into the Chesa-
peake Bay, and reaching almost to the Vir.
ginia capes. Yorktown formerly enjoyed
quite a valuable West India trade. The
great natural capabilities of the place as a
basis for military operations, early attracted
the attention of Jefferson Davis, and there
can be no doubt that the entertainments
constructed by the British in 1871 have
been materially strengthened since the re-
bellion. When Yorktown falls, the fate of
the peninsula is sealed, and the route to
Richmond opened.

Death OF Aimarin Il. INingsbury in CALI
fOrnia.
MINNEAPOLIS, April Is, 1862,

MINNEAPOLIS, April Is, 1862.
To the Editor ofthe Pioneer and Democrat.
Scores will be shocked as they read the
following from a California paper. The
name of AImarin B. Kingsbury was as ia.
miiar in this vicinity as household words,
and many will feel that in his death they
have lost a staunch and true friend.
The deceased was a man, bold, frank,
and of generous impulses, person of great
energy and of indomitable perseverance.
He settled in this place in 1885, and left
here in April, 1860.
DEATH FROM Snow SL1DE.-On Sat-
urday morning last D. d. Kingsbury, now
sojourning in this city, received telegram
from Lake Valley, informing him that his
brother, Almarin B. Kipgsbury, had been
killed that morning by a snow slide, while
ascending the west summit of the Siena.
He was coming up the dugway, riding q
fine American horse and leading another,
when the avalanche swept down upon him,
carrying him and the animals into the val.
ley thousand feet below. The horses ex-
tricated themselves from the mass of snow
without injury, but Mr.. Kingsbury was
buried up and suffocated beneath it Last
evening bis brother received further dis
patch, stating that the body had been re-
covered whereupon orders were sent to
have it properly preserved and forwarded to
this city, with view to sending it to the
East for burial. The deceased, who was
forty-six years of age, leaves wife and six
children in the State of Illinois, from whom
he had been absent nearly two years, and
to whom be was hoping soon to return.
Like his brother, the road and bridge build
er, he was man of enterprise and energy,
whose death will be loas to the commute
ty as well as to his family.-San Francisco
Da5ly Paper.

THE SINKING OF THE CUMBER-.

Oh, pleasantly at Hampton the sunny skies
looked down,
With lips that smile forever and eyes that
cannot frown;
And gladly still at Hampton the little waves
roll on,
withal the birds sing loudly from sunset unto

But peals of caunonading re.echo far away,
And out to sea the water and sky with smoke

The whole March.heaven loometh both omin.

Meanwhile a fearful contest is raging fierce

But still the sailors struggle like heroes to the
last;
And valiant hearts are conquered and daring
souls lie slain;
But still the rebel broadsides they thunder
back again.
They fall, all in their manhood, undaunted, at
their guns.
Now God defend the country that boasts such
gallant sons!
And God defend the Navy, that rough the

Still rears our nations banner, and guards its
