THE House Committee on Rivers
and Harbors has nearly completed its
omnibus bill. Thus far the bill calls
for 81, 800 200. a final decision con
ceraiag Galveston Harbor mas not
yet been reached. The plan proposed
by Capt. Eads for the improvement
Of that harbor would require an ex-
penditure Of $4,000, 050 When the
bill goes to the Senate it will probably
demand an appropriation Of about
SO, 600, 600, and the Senate VIII add
81, 500, 900 or $4,000, 600, so that the
final total will neither greatly exceed
nor fall far below the sum given last

THE LAST CHARGE
General Grant describes the last
charge at Shiloh as follows: That
day everything yas favorable to the
Federal side. We now had become
the attacking party. The enemy was
driven back all day, as we had been
the day before, until finally he beat a
precipitate retreat. The last point
held by him 5Vas near the road from
Landing to Corinth, on the left of
Sherman and McClernand. About
8 o'clock being near that point and
seeing that the enemy was giving way
everywhere else | gathered up a couple
of regiments or parts OF regiments
from troops near by me, formed them
in line of battle and marched them
forward, going in front myself
to prevent premature or long
range firing. AT this dangerous point
there was a clearing between us and
the eneny favorable for charging
although exposed. | knew that the
enemy were ready to break and only
wanted a little encouragement from
us to go quickly and loln the ir
friends, who had started earlier.
After marching within musket range
| stopped ana let the troops pass, the
command charge was given and
executed with loud cheers and w4th a
run. when the enemy broke.
