RE-ENFoRcEMENTs.

AT sunset they who stand upon the bank at
the landing discover a column of soldiers on
the eastern side of the Tennessee with the stars
and stripes waving above them. 1t is Ammens
brigade of Nelson's division. wild shout
goes up. Steamboats, bring them across. They
move up the bank amid the cheers of the sol
diers who have fought through the day. So
near are Bragg's brigades that two men are
killed in Ammen's ranks before they reach the
top of The bank.
McCook's and Crittenden's divisions are at
Savannah. Lewis Wallace's division from
Crump's Landing is close at hand. Tomorrow
morning there will be four fresh divisions of
Union troops upon the field. The Union army
is safe. The great victory which Johnston
and Beauregard expected to win viii not be
won. Recognition of the Confederacy by France
and England viii not come in consequence of a
great Confederate victory at Shiloh. The
wearied soldiers of both armies lie down to
sleep with their loaded guns beside them, while
the sentinels stand like statues along that val
ley of death, watching and waiting for the
morning. There is little sleep for the Confed-
crates, for through the night the gunboats send
their shells through the forest in the direction
of the Confederate bivouac fires.

GENERAL GRANT.

On Saturday night. General Grant had gone
TO Savannah, ten miles down the river, to meet
General Buell. The thunder of the cannonade
rolled along the valley. He understood its
meaning. He sent messengers to Buell. to
hasten with his troops and then started for the
battle. 1t was o o'clock when he arrived. Up
to that hour there was no commander-in-chief
upon the field. Each commander had been
doing his best TO roll back the advancing tide.
Johnston was driving his troops like a wedge
upon the Union center, and the point OF the
wedge had already reached Hurlbuts division,
and had struck also upon McClernand's and w
H. /. Wallace's divisions.

lips with brandy, but in a few minutes he
ceases TO breathe. The Confederate army has
lost its commander, who, smarting under the
disaster at Donelson and Nashville, determined
to win a great victory.
An officer informs Beauregard of Johnston's
death.
DO not let the army know it. The battle
may as well go on he says.
Nearly at the same moment General w. III.
J.. Wallace, who has rolled back the Confeder
ates, falls MORALLY wounded. 1t is sad loss to
the Union army. He has been cool and brave,
and encouraged his men-inspired them with
his own lofty valor. His troops give way. 1t
exposes Prentiss division. He is surrounded
and is obliged to surrender with $500 of his
men.
A great shout goes up along the Confederate
line. Once more the Confederates take heart.
They have possession of all the Union camps
except those of Walace's division.
SUNSET.
ave shall hold them YETI says General
Grant General Webster, of Grants staff, is
an engineer and artilerist. He has selected q
line of Defense and for two hours has been
hard at work
There is deep rayine above Pittsburg Land
ing, extending from the river half mile to-
wards the northwest. The Union line is now
along the northern bank. Bundles of hay,
pork barrels, boxes anything that can be used
for breastwork-are placed along the edge.
Men go to work with spades and in short time
have formidable breastwork. General Web
ster places all the cannon he can get into posi-
tion-nearly fifty in all. The regiments are
broken and disorganized, mixed up, but they
gather once more i'll line.
BRACES LAST ATTACK.
General Bragg commands the left of the Con-
federate lines. He reforms his troops for last
attack. He will charge through the ravine,
climb the steep bank, drive the men from the
breastworks and finish the victory.
His brigade enters the ravine, sheltered by
tail trees and tangled underground. They push
towards the northern bank.
Suddenly there comes roar from the two
gunboats-the Tyler and Lexington in the
river, which open with their great guns, send
ing shells up the ravine. From the northern
bank bursts line of fame Up and down,
through and across streams the murderous
storm from Websters line of cannon. The
Confederates fall like grain before the reaper.
Three different times" says Colonel Pagan,
of Gibson's brigade. did we go into that val
ley of death and as often were forced back. All
was done that could be done, as the heaps of
killed and wounded give ample evidence"
Not Confederate soldier gained the north
ern bank. The brigades were broken just as
the waves break upon the granite rocks along
the shores of the ocean.

DefauI.ing Church Treasurer.

Eugene G. Woodward, treasurer Of
the Board Of Trustees Of the General
Assembly Of the Presbyterian church |,
and treasurer Of the Church Board OF
Education Of Philadelphia, is > de-
fainter 10 the amount q $4,000. He
has fled end his hiding place Is un-
known. The news Of his disappearance
yesterday and defalcation astoundeo
ibe trustees, all of whom had the utmost
in their treasurer's integrity.
Mr.. Woodward's family are prostrated
with grief, and are unable TO account
for his desertion OF them, for his do
nestle relations were particularly
happy, and 1t was not known that ne
was ia any financial difficulty. The
most charitable Interpretation for his
action, which Is advanced Ivy aconn'
Dental friend, is that his mind was un'
balanced, and that tho money was
taken without criminal intent. He was
man Of generous disposition, ana
when asked for temporary loan seldom
refused. He frequently assisted imam
cially distressed clergymen without
any one knowing it, One Of his most
intimate friends said that Mr.. Wool
ward had lost money In this manner,
because he never asked for collateral,
trusting entirely to the borrowers
honor. That the missing treasurer had
speculated in stocks il not improbable
His face was not unknown in Third
street, near the Mining Exchange, and
there is reason to believe that part OF
his money was invested in some Of the
many bubbles which are blown there

Good Health by Inheritance.

Nv father and mother were both of q
perft ct health and strength. They never
knew what it WAS to be sick, or to be
unable to do the days work when the
day came, or to eat their victuals at
eight, twelve, four and eight O'clock
four meals day. When we were born,
at intervals of less than Two years, my
mother always had 4 woman to sec to
things about a week; but the next
week she did all her own work just as
usual. A deepchested, light-footed
woman, with a rose bloom on her
cheek-a clear, gray light in her eyes.
q voice that was music-she possessed
the greater and finer nature; Int my
father was brown-eyed, sturdy little
fellow as this world ever held.
Then the second thing l think Of Is
he way my mother managed us through
our childhood. She never heard .
lecture or read a book about health in
her life that | know of, but she had .
code of traditions and instincts to which
she held always. She whitewashed her
cottage from top to bottom with quick
lime twice a year, and once year
painted all the woodwork.
We slept on cfaff-beds but she Al
ways cleared them out in the spring,
and got new chatf =; always had her
hole little stock of linen whi.e and
pure to wear and sleep in, and once a
week when we were small put us
! through untold torments with yellow
soap and the most inlolerable towels.
Z" Who hath red eyes? Who hath
contention ? Who hath strife ?" The
boys who have to 60 into tub, with q
woman like my mother to work it.
Then she gave us plenty to eat oat
meal porridge and blue milk in the
morning, oatmeal porridge at mig ht
! very little piece of meat at noon with
plenty OF soup and potatoes, and OF
rare days dumplings, oat.cake,-to FL
up all the crevices, and wheaton breat
about twice week.
Butter we were supposed to have OF
Sundays, but we all agrerd that sh'
scraped more off than she put on. W.
knew what tea and coffee was, but 1
never hurt our nerves or kept US awak
nights; acd every spring she made
wonderful specific Of birthstone, mo
lasses and cream of tartar,-a kind o
internal swectmeat, which, with salt
and SIENNA, when we were supposed +
need some-and q pleasant drink i
i April made out of new nettles, no doub
in her sure falJh preserved our preciou
lives.

THERE IS A PROSPECT THAT rHh
State will soon be saved from paying
three dollars a day to liquor bailiff who
sits in his Office and waits for the vio-
lators of the law to come and tell him
when they have been naughty. Chief
j ustice Comegys, it is said, has been
inquiring whether the present amiapie
bailiff was satisfactory to the people
who wanted the laws enforced, and has
received decidedly negative answer -
1t looks as if the bailiff was losing his
grip on his three dollars day for sit
ting in Christy's cigar store turning the
crank of the Democratic political ma
chine organ, and II he would take our
advice he will be looking around ior
