A Heretofore Unpublished Incident Of the
Battle Of Shiloh.

PINE BLUFF, ARK, March 10, 1866.
Allow me through the columns of your
paper to give the public little incident
Of one of Kentucky's distinguished mill
tary leaders, who, unfortunately for his
regulations sake, espoused the weaker
cause in the late war allude to Cen
eral Albert Sidney Johnston. You are
doubtless aware Of the fact that the
Tennessee Representatives in the late
Confederate Congress we're so dlssatls-
fed with General Johnstons retreat
from Bowling Green across the Tennes-
see river that they petitioned Mr.. Davis
to remove him from the command of the
army. / have heard great many peo-
pie express it as their opinion that the
circumstance SO mortified his pride and
compromised his repution, that he,
actuated by spirit of desperation, de-
termined at the battle of Shiloh, or
Pittsburg Landing, to throw away his
life That the opinion is erroneous, is
clearly proved, think, by the following
circumstance
On that memorable day 10Th Of April,
1862 | was on duty with the 9th Arkan-
sas Infantry, as Assistant Surgeon.
About IL O clock, as well as | remember,
member of my regiment came running
along in rear of the line with his left
hand shot off The man was much ex-
cited and fatigued from loss Of blood.
He said to me" Doctor, our men are
falling back, and want to get away from
here" AT this moment the General,
with part of his staff, came riding by in
slow walk; and, though shot and shell
were flying through the air as thick as
hail, he looked as calm and self-pos-
sessed as if he had been sitting in his
tent looking over official papers. have
seen many battlefelds and many Gene
rails on them, but | never did see any
one look so much like General as he
did at that moment. And as he was
passing, my wounded man called out {:
" Men, please let me ride behind one of
YOU" No one paid any attention to
him. He repeated his cry in louder
and more plaintive tone, when the Cen
eral reined up his horse and turned, but
seeing | had taken the wounded man in
hand, said, "Ah, never mind, there s a
surgeon with him, and rode quietly
away. This is an example of humane
feeling seldom witnessed upon the battle,
field, especially from the commander of
the army, at such a critical time. This
was about two hours before his death

How a Nabob Lives Who Grew Rich by
- : the War

At the beginning of the recent war, Jay
Cooke was Philadelphia broker who did
a smart business in shaving, but was in
no sense one of the rich men of that city,
although not classed with its poor. He
was lucky, however, in being a favorite
of Secretary Chase, whose organ at Co
lumbus, O., had been owned and con-
trolled by his (Jay Cooke's) brother
Henry. Remembering that lone good
turn deserves another" Chase soon made
up his mind that the said Jay should
have "a good thing " To this end, he
found it easy to reach the conclusion
that Cooke had greater financial tact,
and more of the confidence of the Amer
lean people than was possessed by him
self or the other Government officers con-
nected with the Treasury. Hence, in
order to induce the "loyal" people of
the nation to uphold their Government
with loans of their money, ii was neces-
sary to procure a good word from Jay
Cooke, and secure his superior talents to
hand over to the people bonds in ex-
change for their money. In return for
this wonderful service, the Treasury paid
Cooke the mere trile of few millionsoi'
dollars-nothing more. Since the date
Of this little event Jay has been expert
encing some trouble in finding dwell
ling house sufficiently comfortable for
his accommodation. How he has sue
ceeded in removing the difficulty is ex-
planned in an article recently published
in the New York Citizen, on the Rich
men of the day" from which we copy the
following:
The new residence of Jay Cooke,
the banker, is situated on the Chelton
Hills, eight miles from Philadelphia,
and is built in the French style, with
steep slate roofs and massive plastered
chimneys 1t is now quite finished, ex-
teriorly, and will contain fifty bed
chambers, chapel, a gymnasium, o
library, and all the accessories to the
palatial home of Christian banker.
Its dimensions probably exceed those
of any private residence on the conti-
nent. 1t is pierced with about eighty
great windows and has within il q spa
cious courtyard There is a porch in
front, Of Pennsylvania granite, capped
with shield and monogram, and the
rear, that faces the celebrated rural drive,
called the Serpentine," is two faced,
terminating in a grand balcony, and in
a bay window, the latter Of itself large
as a dwelling-house.
The grounds, which make the crest
and slopes Of a tall hill, are already set
out with evergreens and silvery foliage
and an elderly and manorial wood
stretches to the front, up the sides of a
steep precipiee, at the foot Of which runs
a pastoral stream, debouching into fish
ponds aud dropping into waterfalls The
house is a marvel to the Quaker people
around II, and as an agricultural enter
prise, for American, rivals Cologne

of dollars will be expended upon it. Mr.
Cooke, whose origin was quite humble,
has always been noted for his humane
