could discover the plans OF Grant.
while tho latter could learn little of
Lees movements. The following Incl
dent gives ono of the many reasons for
Lees success in this direction.-Ed.l
Lieutenant Tom Lawson. whose
death occurred several years ago in
Louisville. KY, was one of four BROTH
ers, all OF whom were among tho first
in and last out OF our Confederate
Army. Colonel John Lawson, the old
est, commanded regiment OF infan
try OF the Wise .Lgion; Lieutenant
Tom Lawson served mostly in the
font, and was wounded thrice by the
fire of the guns, whilst Campbell and
William, tho younger brothers, were
not SO fortunate, tho former losing a

be, lie fnally decided the man was a
deserter who had escaped from his
fellows and desired our protection.
While pondering the mystery Lawson
saw the man slackcn his pace and, af-
ter looking furtively about the field,
dismount and get to cover under shell
ter of his horses flank. In relating
the incident to me Lawson said. His
attitude, sir was precisely like that
of the hunter who stalks a deer or
other beast I saw the horse heading
directly towards me. but little of the
man who urged him forward. The
thought that he might be some dare
devil from the other side, bent on
capturing or killing rebel. deter
mined me to halt him. Twirling my
revolver, l cried. Halt But neither

Order to Retreat Came Only
When All Hopes of Victory
Were Shattered.
BY GEORGE c. PORTER,
Int Colonel G. 8. 4.


The final desperate and bloody stand
on Monday was at Shiloh Church. nea,
the spot where the battle began on
sunday. That part of the field had
been fought over, backward and for
ward, four different times. The strug-
gle of the Confederates here is almost
, uncomfortable. 1t may be imagined,
but beyond the power of pen to delin-
cate. No soldiery OF ancient or OF
modern tirnes--tlle Cohorts OF Rome,
the Phalanx of Macedon. the Iron
sides of Cromwell, the Grcnadiers of
Frederick, nor the Old Guard OF Napo-
leon-ever fought with greater vaior
and heroism nor with q more stolid and
patriotic determination to do and to
die. They seemed endowed with a
prcscience of the responsibility resting
upon them. that should they fail the
beginning OF the end of the cause for
which they fought was at hand.
