The Battle of Shiloh.

EDITOR NEws:-The courteous, sol
dier-hke letter of the member of the
10th o. V. I. in reply to my remarks
on the Battle of Shiloh, ought to be
allowed much weight and bearing
upon the question of the surprise,
being written by one who was there
-'ta part of which he was, and much
of which he saw" I would not for
a moment compare with his my op-
portunities and qualifications for
passing a military judgment on the
opening of the great battle of Shi-
lob. 1 only contend for this, that
there were those on that front line
on that memorable Sunday morning,
who considered the actual attack q
surprise" because not fully antici-
pated and prepared for.
This soldier says there had been
considerable picket fighting for three
or four days. He says that Gen.
Sherman must have known ''that the
enemy was in full force" The next
question is military one. Did he
as a military commander, take all the
precautions and make all the prepa-
artions to meet the immediate attack
Was he prepared to receive an enemy
"who was there and in full force"
What could have been done by abat-
tbs of fallen timber, or temporary
works of any kind? These are mill
tary questions, of which l am not
competent to form an opinion.
have no disposition to disgrace
or 'insult" any of the noble heroes
who perished on the field of battle,
or any of "those who survived" I
only repeat, as nearly as my memory
will serve, what I learned from some
of the noble heroes who survived.
This charge, I think, originated
with the partieipators in the events
of that memorable occasion. 1t was
conveyed to the ears of Gov. Stanton,
who was honored by the State as
her second officer, being in charge OF
relief and supply boat, and who
had access to many of the mobile he
roes" whom he had no wish to "dis-
grace or insult, repeated it on his
return home. It was considered so
serious that Ex-senator Thomas
Ewing appeared in print IN defense
of Gen. Sherman, his son-in-law.
Your soldier correspondent says
what I said about the camping
ground of the rebels, the night preyi-
GUS to the battle, is a ''great mistake,
very unreasonable to suppose. The
particular features of the place have
faded from my memory. I may have
stated it too strongly in calling it
scamp ground" 1t may have been
a mere bivouac, or temporary stopp-
ing place to take breakfast. The
troops must have moved up during
the night and must have stopped
somewhere. Certainly there was the
debris of arecently occupied locality,
fragments of food, broken vessels and
pieces of abandoned clothing. This
is my best recollection.
In this connection, will say, that
1 have no motive to disgrace any OF
the heroes who fell on the bloody
field of Shiloh; or to ''insult" any OF
those who survived. All honor to
theml III.

The Springfield Republican discov-
ers that the correspondents at Wash
ington who are paid by the column
are trying to work up some interest
in the impeachment proceedings, but
it is no go. 1t observes that when
a man is dead as a door-nsil, folks
can't be expected to get excited over
the question whether his political
corpse shall be formally declared in
eligible to ofice-and that is all the
Belknap impeachment amounts to
if the Senate decides that it has lur-
isdiction over the corpse, which is
not yet settled.

"Our only salvation is to be found
under the leadership of man who is
above suspicion. We think that Mr..
Bristow is the man, of all the men
now before the country, against
whose character and reputation moth
ing can be found which makes him
unworthy of the confidence of the
people"
We copy the above from the ad-
dress of the Bristow club of Cincin-
natl, recently issued. We have
nothing to say against the character
and reputation of Mr.. Bristow, which
as far as we know are still unim-
peached. But we deny that he is
the superior in this or any other re-
spect of Gov. Hayes of Ohio. The
warmest friends of Mr.. Bristow
must admit this, if they are candid.
Then, why prefer him to our own
able, pure, honest and popular ma
tive Buckeye, Rutherford B. Hayes,
who rescued Ohio last fall from Dem
ocratic ascendancy who has beaten
Thurman Pendleton and Allen,
each in succession, for Governor, and
who can certainly carry Ohio next
fall by a larger majority than any Of
his competitors7 We have no preiu-
dice against Mr.. Bristow because he
is Kentuckian, but when a son of
our own State is presented, whose
qualifications are equal or superior,
to those of any other man, we are
bound to give him the preference.

SSionaI.

The Columbus correspondent of
tie Cincinnati Gazette, has this to
say of politics in the Seventh Dis
trict:
The Seventh District embraces the
counties of Ross, Highland, Adams,
Brown and Pike, and is pretty thor
oughly Democratic.
I have not heard of any Republi-
can named as a candidate, but of
course the Democratic candidate will
not be allowed a clean walk over the
field. There are two or three gen.
tlemen of that political persuasion,
such, for instance, as John Entrekin,
of Ross, who would poll something
more than the strength of their
party.
No straight Republican could how
ever, be elected, and in view of this
fact there has been some talk of in
ducing L. G. Delano, present Rail
road Commissioner, to run as an in
dependent candidate, with a fair ar
surance that, should he consent, he
could be elected.
For the Democratic nomination
there will be a fight. L. I. Neal, of
Ross, present incumbent, is serving
his second term. He wants to serve
third, and the Ross county Demo
Gratis will almost UNANIMOUSLY back
him up in it. In fact, whatever dis
satisfaction there may be on the part
of individuals, Neal is sure of a solid
delegation from Ross. Pike county
will also give him her support, and
he will get some votes from High
land. Upon the number he gets
from the latter county will depend
his nomination. Shrewd observers
think he will get enough for his
purpose. Neal is quite young man,
he has no great degree of talent, and
is by many Democrats in the district
disliked. But somehow he was born
under lucky star; his two terms in
Congress have rendered him 10th to
come back to the practice of law at
Chillicothe; he is a good wire puller,
and has big country to back him;
1 Judge he'll pull through.
Henry Dickey, of Highland, will
be an aspirant for the nomination,
as he has heretofore been; but now,
as heretofore, he will not be able to
unite the delegation from his coun-
ty in his favor, and this will probab-
ly prove fatal to him, as in the past.
However, if Dickey can get Adams
and Brown to support him, he may
head Neal off. ]. W. Eylar, present
member of the Assembly from
Adams. is candidate; but his claims
will not probably be heavily pressed.
As vet, l have heard of no candi-
dates in Brown; but this does not
say that she will not be heard of be-
fore the next Convention, for Brown
has not been noted for lack of Dem
ocratic aspirants.
The Gazette correspondent rather
strangely omits- all mention of Hon.
Henry A. Shepherd, who is can
didate from this county, and will
give Mr.. Dickey strong contest.
Mr.. Eylar, of Adams county, in
formed us the other day that he is
not a candidate. He is in favor OF
Hon. J. W. Shinn, of that county.

Mr.. Bristow, as Secretary of the
Treasury, has done well, and merits
the admiration of the people, but he
has only done his duty in prosecu-
ting the whisky thieves and bringing
them to punishment. Nor does he
alone deserve all the credit, for he
has only been carrying out the Or
ders of the President, who said, '1et
no guilty man escape" Had Gov.
Hayes been in Mr.. Bristow's place,
we have every reason to believe, judg
ing from his whole public life, he
would have prosecuted the whisky
ring with equal vigor, and should
he be elected President, the country
may confidently expect thoroughly
honest, pure and economical Admin
istration. He is man whose integ-
rity is above suspicion, and who will
show no favor to thieves and cor
ruptionists. In a word, he is just
such a man as the times demand for
the Executive head of the nation,
and we trust he will be the choice of
the Republican National Convention.

A. T. Stewart, the most successful
merchant in the United States, was
an extensive advertiser. We clip
the following from an Eastern jour
nal and trust our merchants will
not pass it over without reading it:
0One of Mr.. Stewards last business
acts was the personal supervision of
an advertisement for the news
papers. He never "found he was
doing as much business as he cared
to do, and never committed the folly
of throwing away money on ''circu-
lars" and cheap job work, reaching
few hundred persons who never
read them. He believed in news
paper advertising, and readers by
the thousand; and, strangely enough,
never reached the point of imagin-
ing his great establishment so well
known that advertising was unnec-
essary.
