Battle of shiloh-.why it Was Delayed.

Shiloh:
When General A. s. Johnston was forced TO
evacuate Nashville, and was about to concentrate
for the battle of Shiloh, lie sent Colonel Morgan to
Huntsville 10 watch the movements of Buell., and
Grant before Buell. joined him. A few days before
the battle of Shiloh, Morgan telegrnphed TO john
sion Mt Corinth that Buell. had crossed Duck river
with 38,4UOmcn; that he had lost 400 men by
sickness and exposure on the succeeding twenty
miles march, and that he would reach Pittsburgh
Landing at furthcst on Saturday night. He con-
cluded the dispatch ny urging Johnston to
fight on Friday or Saturday. Johnston replied
"Your dispatch has been received; and your sug-
gcston will be complied with" But what may
be termed an accident prevented the carrying out
of this plan, and saved Grants army. There was
o large open marsh between Cornth and the Fed
eral position, The shortest way to the intended
BAT field lny through the marsh The engineers
of the Rebel urmy, after careful survey reported
That The artillery could be hauled across the route
but after the first division had gone through the
roads were so baldly cut up TO be impossible for
the rest. Another rond had to be selected, and
the march of the entire army had TO be changed
This dcnved matters so much that the rebels were
rot reedy to open the battle until Sunday morning,
which, though little early for our side, proved
cutie too late for them. There have been various
statements of the cause of Sidney Johnston fail
rlre 10 attack Grant before Sunday morning, but
am convinced The one have just given IS correct
