EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Allow me space
in your valuable paper 20 express few thoughts
touching the criticisms upon the conduct Of the
battle OF Shiloh 50 freely INDUCED in by CON-
rades. i have read all that has been published
il IHE AATIoSAL TRIBUNE about 1t during
the past two years. ! have read Gen. Buelrs
review Published in the CeaftgTy magazine over
one year ago, and also that Of Col. VIM. Preston
Johnston and many more IN criticism Of the
conducted that great battle. On the other side,
i have read the modest account Of il from the
pen Of that sturdy and grand old soldier, Gen.
Grant, vino commanded. and Gen. W. T. Sher-
mans tribute 10 that officer in relation TO this
action have looked over the Panorama Of
Shiloh iu Chicago many times, aud listened
TO the account Of il from the lips Of Gen. Prem
tiss- WHO was participant in the battle, and
was captured, as he pointed out the position of
the various commands on that memorable bat
tieGeld. Although the writer was not there,
nor III the service al that period, he still feels
that great injustice was done Gen. Grant and
his gallant army IN the published accounts Of
that great struggle.
Some critics are sure that TO Gen. Nelson be-
longs tie credit Of saving Grants army on
Sunday evening Gen. BuelFs account seems
mainly a suaTl against Gen Sherman, and tries
70 prove that both Grant and Sherman have at
tempted to write up their accounts Of that bat
tie upon an alleged plan which was radically
different from the one upon which they fought
tie battle I'D fact.
Now, 10 relation 10 all this let it be said that
the regulations Of Gems. Grant and Sherman
don't rest 0p0n 50 fimsy a basis as 10 entitle
their vcTacfty - be called in question 10y men
some OF whom were not On the field that first
day, and others who were only upon certain
parts 81 that bloody ground, and in too subor-
dinate positions 20 BE well informed about the
general conduct OF the battle. At all events,
here Is the evidence OF two Generals Of diyi-
si0us-Sherman aud Prentiss-and the General
in chief c0mmand-CTaut-a Of whom were
on the ground during that awful day, agree
ing substantially IN their accounts Of It.
The late Gov. NaTm2Guke Of Missouri. and
Col. Wan. Preston Johnston, both rebel officers
high iu command and participants IN that
bloody drama on that side, practically confirm
what Gen. Grant says about that battle
Another recent writer asserts that Grant
never f0rgaye BuclIs troops for saving him
that first day, and that none but Lew Wallace
troops Of Grants forces were engaged the sec
ond day. Grants own account disproyes the
former assertion, and the history Of the second
days battle cispFOves the second assertion

water A dynamite cartridge was fired, serpent
disappeared for few moments, and then
appeared again. Twice more cartridges were
exploded, and still it foated. Then boat was
procured, and careful investigation with long

1ADY's SUDDEN DEATH.
Taken Ill in Church, She Dies in a Very
Few Minutes.

| Few mInuteRs
Mrs. Clara Winder, wife Of William
Winder, living at No. 65 Eighteenth
street, died very suddenly last evening
Ibetween and 8 O'clock at the parsonage
Of the Zane Street NJ. &. Church, onJOcob
street, next to che church. Mrs. Winder
had left home to attend the evening scr.
vice at the Zane Street Church, Of which
she was devout member. She had al
most reached the top Of the flight OF etaira
leading to tho msin audience room OF the
edifiCe when she wss observed to turn
back. Going out doors abe made her
way to the parsonage and rang the bell,
but not stopping for any one to snsWerE
her summons, opened the door and passed
inside. As she did 60 q gentleman who
had observed her and wondered at her
strange manner, heard her grosn
as II In great pain. he bur:
ried to the church and notified
several parties, who msde haste to
attend to Mrs. Winder. They found her
in great distress. A physician was sent
for, but he arrived too late to be Of any
service. Inside Of ton minutes after she
left the church she was dead. Heart dis
ease Is the supposed cause Of her demise,
and sho must have felt the attack when
she left the church.
Mrs. Winder was quito large woman
and heretofore has usually enjoyed good
health. She was 40 years OF ago and
leaves seven children, four boys and three
girls, all Of whom except two daughters
have reached maturity. One OF her sons,
John, is foreman in tho composing room
Of this Office. She will be missed by many
besides her husband and children, for she
was weIl.Eked by all who knew her for
her many eetimable qualities.
