SHILOH AGAIN.
An Illinois Man pefends Grants Army.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: 1t would seem
that enough had been said of the battle of Shi-
lob, but l see in THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE of
the 25th of April squib fired by one Comrade
Saint, of the Both Ind, at Comrade L. T. Lee,
4lst Ill.
Now, Mr. Editor, l was there in the line of
battle all day and night of the 9Th and all day
the 9TH of April, and l regard Comrade Lees
article as the best and most truthful ] have
ever seen from any writer on Shiloh. We had
some chat in our army, which was all blown
out by 10 a. N. Sunday morning, leaving only
the pure wheat-soldiers, every one of whom
would willingly have left his carcass on the
field before they would have seen our army
defeated. And although we were driven all
day, the idea of being whipped never once en-
tered our heads. knew why we were falling
back We had but one line and so many were
being killed and wounded that we were COM
PEELED to contract our lines in order to keep a
solid front. But our last stand near the land
ing, where Col. Webster had massed the artil-
lery, put final check upon the rebels, who
were pushing on after US. The infantry lay
fiat on the ground while the most terrible ar
tillery duel that the world ever saw was going
on over our heads. No troops in the world
could have faced it.
This ended the battle on the 9th. not an in
fantryman firing a shot. Night soon came on,
and between shutdown and dark saw the first
pFlgdue Oh buell. ) army coming up DehinQ US.
When near US they fled left to the place as
signed them. They were followed, think, by
another brigade soon after, but there was posi-

A Warm Bed.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: One night in
the Winter of 1863, "a, while in East Tennes-
see, our regiment (the 9th Mich Cav) halted
in an oak grove. The trees were perfectly
bare, but the leaves were strewn around TO the
depth of several inches. We had got tolerabIy
used to sleeping on the bare ground but none
of US turned up our noses at soft bed if one
was to be had, and all hands proceeded to
gather up leaves for luxuriant couch. No
one worked harder than my friend, Corp'l Ed.
Everett, and no one rolled into bed with a more
complacent grunt than he, nor anticipated a
more enjoyable nights slumber But our
dreams of comfort were rudely dispelled. Our
campfres were made with the ever-ready fence
rails, the intention being to get up OCCASION
ally and push the rails farther into the fire as
they burned off; but this night the Corporal
failed to get up and attend to his fire. and the
consequence was the FIRE followed one of his
rails into his bed and we were aroused about
the middle of the night by his yells We found
him jumping around in the fire trying to save
his things, most of which were so badly burn.
ed as to be hardly worth saving; and the worst
of it was the wind was so high and the fire
spread SO fast that we had to vacate the grove
and put in the balance of the night on the bare
ground after ALL. NJ. WATSON, Co. L, 9th

BLOODY SHILOH.
comrade Suggests the Erection of Monuments.


EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: notice that
Comrade Lee, 41st H., has created considerable
excitement in writing facts about Shiloh and
the part taken by Grants army on Sunday. If
time allowed me to write an article in detail,
should be even more severe than Comrade Lee
in denouncing the accounts given by Buell. and
his men of battle that they knew nothing
about Judging from the exaggerated accounts
in which they essay to tell how they charged
up the hill through a covering mob at dusk.
Gen. Beauregard is authority for facts which
BuelPs men dare not dispute: that the Confed-
crate army withdrew from the contest before
sunset on Sunday, after testing our strength in
front of the batteries on the hill before the adj
vanced division (Nelson'sl of Buellss army came
upon the field. This fire which the Confeder-
ates encountered was directed by methods so
convincing that further attack was postponed
until Monday morning.
They have told how they charged the mob
of towards. Well, we all know about how
much energy may be required to charge mob
of towards No wonder Ammen's Brigade had
only one man killed going up the hill on its
arrival Their assertions are rather blatant,
and, to say the least, are berating an army
which stands without a parallel for gallant
fighting like the Army of the Tennessee did at
Shiloh on Sunday, April 6, 1862 The reader
must bear in mind that Grant had only five
divisions the first day, in all $4,000 men. The
Confederates confronted US with four full
fledged army corps and all were brought into
action before noon on Sunday, that they might
be able to crush Grant before his look ed for
reinforcements-Buel and Lew Wallace-could
arrive. Even the Confederates have been more
charitable toward Grant and his army than
Buell. and his narrators.
The Confederates dedicated the spot in front
of the 32d H., where Gen. A. s. Johnston fell,
as the " Hornets Nest" This dedication is
monument of rare worth, coming from the
source that it does. 1t has been mystery to
me why Buell. has been SO persistent in trying
to create this diversion. 1t is but just to Grant
and his army to say, if the last man who stood
for 10 hours at the front had been driven to
the landing on Sunday night, their heroic con-
duct still would be worthy of Spartans. In
looking over the records of the Adiutant-Gen-
eral of Illinois we find that 65 officers were
killed from this State, and several regiments
from Illinois aggregated loss in killed and
wounded of nearly 90 per cent. The 32d III.
had Al killed and 212 wounded out of eff
fective force of about 430 The records of the
War Department do not show so great loss in
this regiment by nearly 100, but there is a
typographical error in the records of the War
Department. or else someone has been tamper
ing with said records. The 9th III. lost 366
out of about 600-61 killed, 300 wounded and
5 missing.

in the battle of Shiloh commemorate the ocea-
fallen heroes of the bloodiest battle of modern

The campaigns in the Virginia Valley in 1862
appear to be meagerly touched upon by our
own historians heretofore there seeming to be
but little in the achievements of our arms
there to elicit praise pride. and the field has
apparently been abandoned to the wild fancy
and highly worked imagination of the rebel
historian. DIR. Capehart's history meets the
demand of the times Especially among eX-sol-
diers) for the plain, true, uncolored facts.
While he may err IN some OF the minor features
of his story, yet the important historical events
(which the honest reader is seeking and the
impartial writer desires to fuTnish) stands
well authenticated and unquestioned. He
turns the electric light of truth not only upon
the events as they really occurred, but more
especially upon the chief actors in the great
drama at that hour He lays the balks and
failures, if not the treachery, of our own Gen
erals at the proper doorstep; and, backed by
that Stonewall jackson was not the Heaven
directed, omnipresent, "will-o' the-wisp ter
ror' that rebel writers and orators try to make
him, and that the mistakes and plumbers of
our own Generals were more than equaled by
those of Jackson himself.
Comparisons are said to be odious, and per
haps il would be unfair to say, Oh, for Phil
Sheridan, a Hancock, Logan or Schoteld at
Front Royal or StTasburg, with jackson at
Winchester, 40 miles north, in that narrow
valley! Though StOnewall Jackson prayed,

Abraham Lincoln and the patriots North were

were simply trampiing out the vintage where
the grapes of wrath were stored" There was

What Kansas is Trying to Do for the Soldier.

Comrade R. ]. Gillaspy, White City, Kan,
sends series of resolutions adopted by the
Republican Convention of the Fourth Con-
gressional District of that State in their Con-
yention held at Emporia May 1, 2, g. The
resolutions cite the fact that for every man
killed and wounded the Government has al
lowed eight pensions for the Revolutionary war !;
for the war of 1912, IL pensions for every man
killed or wounded for the Mexican war nine
men were pensioned for every man either
killed or wounded, aud provisions have been
made for all of the survivors who have not
already availed themselves of the bounty !;
that the Nation has not yet pensioned as many
soldiers, parents widows and orphans as were
killed and wounded OF the soldiers and sailors
of the war of the rebellion; therefore the Con-
venton think that not only empty words of
i:fattery should be given these brave men, but
more substantial evidence of gratitude by de-
claring themselves in favor of liberal pension
for service as well as for disability to every
honorably- discharged Union soldier or sailor,
their widows and orphans or dependent par
ents. They also favor the equalization of
bounties and the repeal of the limitation act of
1878. These resolutions were made part of the
platform of the Convention.
