DISCOVERY.
In connection with the battle of Gaines's
Mil, Sykes, in riding hither and thither
over the field, discovered in n clump of
bushes in a ravine three officers recently
appointed from civil life to- Second Lieu
tenants positions in one of the Regular
regiments. Hard fighting was going on
all over the field. and the General could
hardly ieiieve his eyes. But he asked
them why they were there, and was in
formed that they We're worn out and
wanted n rest. After the campaign ended
they were tried by general court-martial
and cashiered. Does it not seem
strange, then, that l state the truth
when l assert that these same three men,
tried and cashiered for cowardice. were re-
stored to their commissions within eight
months, the President having discovered
an error in the trial, as he was pleased
to say, in reopening their cases at the
instigation OF political friends?

only to take new position. and was in

true that every man did not capture

ashamed of the part they took in the

Of cavalry was left with the three divi-
sions Of infantry, and in falling pack from
the front to the bank Of the river it was
mooted question with the corps and di-
vision commanders whether the corps
could defend itself against q harrassng
combined attack of cavalry, artillery and
infantry. However, heavy rain having
set In, the progress of the enemy's artil-
lery was considerably retarded, the corps
having reached the Landing intact at

the army a visit and reviewed its numer-

his arrival, mounted and accompanied by

ALPHA OF SHILOH.
A 18th Mich. Veteran Explains How His
Regiment Went In.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: l have
been waiting many years for someone to
write about the beginning of Shiloh. Not
one of the many articles written men
tions the fact that two companies of the
25th Mo. and two companies of the 18th
Mich, under command Of Maj. Powell,
25th Mo-, had the honor Of opening that
terrible battle.
We were called out about 3 a. M,
April 6, 1862, and marched to our right
and front, through woods, past the pick
cts, and as we came to house IN a
clearing, just at the peep O. day." we
were fred on from the front.
We were deployed as skirmishers and
returned compliments as we found things
coming our way. Col. w. p. Johnston,
son of Gen. Albert S. Johnston, in his ac-
count of the battle, says:
"As Gen. Johnston and his staff We're
taking their coffee, the first gun Of the
please, gentlemen said Johnston. 1t was
IA minutes past 5. They Immediately
mounted and gallopcd to the front"
A comrade of my company (G, 18th
Mich.) was killed and others wounded in
that early fight. We held the Confed-
crate advance in check an hour and
half or two hours before we made final
retreat. Sometimes we would drive the
J Johnnies back; then they would force our
line back The sun kept climbing higher
and higher. The boys would say:
"Why don't they send us reinforce
ments?"
Lieut.. Col. Graves. 10Th Mich, in a re-
port says that had it not been for these
four companies (which were ordered out
by Col. Peabody our whole division
would have been taken in their tents and
the day would have been lost, without a
doubt, in my mind. l shall always think
that Col. Peabody saved the battle OF

followed with vim that was annoying,
to say the least; but all did not get out.

Burke and Colens Johnston, wounded.
Lieut.. Sullivan. of Co. L. and others, were
killed. Comrade ]. \. Dillen. while living
wounded, saw them killed; they refused
to retreat and leave our wounded to fail
into the hands of the enemy. and would
not surrender. Among those taken pris-
oners was Maj. Jordan. His horse had
been shot.
Gen. Morgan's loss, as stated. in Tomp-
kinsvile, was 81 killed, 80 wounded. All
his slightly wounded were sent away. Col
Hunt, of ID Ga. Mounted Infantry, was
shot by carbine ball in the thigh and
died at that place few days after the
fight.
Those who had horses injured had to
abandon them and take to the brush
Comrade Berger, of Co. NJ. being one
whose horse was shot. took off his saddle
and started with it on his own back. The
Johnnies took after him, calling him bad
names, but George did not surrender or
stop, but jumped over 4 fence with his
saddle; when he got into the woods he
threw it over n log and made his escape
He went back in day or two, found his
saddle, and carried it on his back so
miles, to Cave City, to reach the regiment.
Some of our comrades did not stop run
ming until they reached Pennsylvania;
but they all came back again under the
Presidents proclamation Offering pardon
to all soldiers who were absent without
leave, and some of those same men were
killed in other engagements later in the
war.
Before the war closed we had all the
fight anyone could ask for, and | think
all were satisfied. Our regiment closed
about 4 four-years' service with Sherman
