Fresh assaults forced in: still further rear-
ward, where he received the finalattack made
that day on the Federal right. The resist-
ance was gallant, obstinate and worthy of the
men who made it, and when it was over they
went into bivouac for the night.
“THE HORNET’S NEST.”
Onlya part of the story of the attack on
Prentiss has been told. After retreating
through his camps in the morning, the new
position be occupied was theatrongest of the
day. His left was the southern end of a
ravine; thence his right extended along an
old washed out road running nearly to the
Corinth road. On ~ '
the right of the lat-
ter was placed
Hickeulooper’s
battery. Gen.
Grant visited the
spot, approved the
position and di-
rected Prentiss to
“Hold it at all
hazards.” Right
royally was the
command obeyed.

support, Gen. W. ~ .. .-'

with the Second, Seventh, Twelfth and
Fourteenth Iowa. regiments on his right,
and Col. Sweeney with the Eighth Iowa,
Seventh. Fiftieth, Fifty-second, Fifty-
seventh and Fiftyeighth Illinois regiments
on the right 0 Col. Tuttle. Sweeney’s
right reached the edge of a wide . deep
ravine filled with impenetrable thickets
extending fartohis rear and runliing into
the ravine of Brier creek. Such was the place
that became famous among the Confederates
as “The'Hornet’s Nest."
The first assault made was by Gladdcn’s
brigade; and now begin aseriw of some of
the most desperate engagements of the battle.
Gen. Gladden having
in the charge of the early morning, the . com-
mand devo ved on Col. Adams. The line is
barely formed at 10 o’clock, when the southern
men are seen confidently advancing through
the dense thickets against the unseen foe.
Theyarepermittedto come well within ran e,
when suddenly there flashes from 3,000 rl es
ablaze of fire. The deep notes of Hicken-
looper’s guns mingle with the treble of the
small arms that echoes through the forest, and
the gray canopy of smoke that rests above the
scene tells where death is being scattered on
every side. The well known “rebel yell"
rings out as the column resses forward and
the ound is dotted wit the wounded and
dea . Buttheleaden stormbeats in theirfaces
with a fierceness that nothing human can With-
stand, and the crippled brigade recoils to the
cover of the woods. Gen. A. P. Stewart’s com-
mand of Polk’s corps is now sent forward,
aiid once, twice, thrice, it repeatsthe grand
effort to carry the position, but With no bet—
ter success than before. Gen. Gibson’s
brigade of Bragg’s corps surges in and takes
its place. A ‘ that hurricaneof lead. The
angry balls y in showers and seem to bear
a death warrant in every devilish screech.
An enfilnding fire from the battery cuts down
the men by ranks, like swaths of grass under
the mower’s scythe, and yet others continue
to step into the path of death with cheerful
alacrlty, it seems, and fall with a. battle cry
upon their lips. Three times has Gibson
charged, and three times been repulsed. Geri.
Bra g now impatiently directs one of his
stung, Col. Lockett, his chief engineer, to ride
forward to a central regiment that has been
driven back, and carry its colors to the
front. “The flag must not go back again,”
he said. The officer. obeyiurr the order,
dashes through the line of attle, seizes
the colors from the color bearer, and exclaims:
“Gen. Bragg SIIVS these colors must not go
to the rear.’r While he is talking the color
sergeant is shot down. An Officer np roaches
with a bullet hole ill each cheek, tie blood
streaming from his mouth, and asks: “What
are you doing with my colors, sir?” “I’m 3
obeying Gen. Bragg’s orders to hold them
where they are.” “Let Inc have them,” was
the re 1y; “if any man carries these colors
but tie color bearer, I am the mail. Tell
Gen. Bragg that I will see that these colors
are in the right place. But he must attack
this position in flank; we can nevcr carry it
alone from the front.” The officer who spoke
commanded the Fourth Louisiana, and in-
stantly riding back to Gen. Bragg to empha-
size the previous request made for artillery
by Gen. Gibson, he was met with the stern
answer: “Col. Allen, I want no faltering
now I" Stung to the quick, he returned to his
regiment, 0115 once more there wasawild,
hurrying wave of men rolling up that fatal
slope only to be dashed to death. It was
splendid murder! Col. Allen afterward be—
came Governor Allen, of Louisiana. Such
were the kind of men whom Prentiss and
Wallace fought on that eventful day from 9
inthe morning until 5 o’clock ill the after-
noon before one was captured and the other
killed!
Finding that the position could not be car-
ried by direct assault, Bragg now determined
one combined flank movement. First, all
the guns within reach were brought up alld
concentrated on the one little battery, stand-
ing at the salient point where Prentiss and
Wallace joined, that had reaped such a
harvest among the lines of the enemy. Be-
fore this terrible fire, Hickenlooper was com-
lled to withdraw. By 4:30 o’clock fightr
mg in front of Sherman and McClcrnand
having ceased, Gens. Cheatham, Trabue,
Johnson and Russell, seeing that Wallace
could not be approached across the dense
thicket filling tie great ravine which pro-
tected his right, felt their way to the plateau
in his rear, where they met the combined
forces under Bragg in front of Hurlbut’s
camp. Moving thus against the remnants of
the two divisions, they inclosed them almost
in a circle; a struggle ensued, but further re-
sistance wasuseless, and the brave Wallace
was mortally wounded. The Second and
Seventh Iowa, led by Col. Tuttlc, now out
their way out and reached Pittsburg Land—
ing, but Prentiss, true to his orders from
Gen. Grant, firmly remained at his post, and
“having lost everything but honor, sur-
rendered his little band. It comprised 2,200
men. And so ended the famous fight in ‘the
hornet’s nest.’ ”
LAST BLOWS.
It will be remembered that the extreme
left of the national line was protected by
Sherman’s Second brigade, under Col. Stuart.
Early in the day a. sharp engagement oc- .
curred without definite results, but Hurlbut I
bein resent as a support and apparently
hold‘igilgp that portion of the left witha ood I
deal of tenacity, Gen. Johnston order an-
other attack upon the position for the pur- '
pose of breaking down the only barrier that
remained in that part of the field between the
Confederate line .
and the landing.
The movement
was not successful
and the assault
was repeated. One
of the Tennessee
regiments becom-
ing demoralieed by
the desperate re-
sistance encoun-
tered, refused to
again advance,
and at this junct-
ure the com: 11/

Gen. Breckinridge and Governor Harris, of
Tennessee, rode to their front and promised
to lend them himself. The hitherto reluctant '
soldiers, now roused to enthusiasm by such a :
distinguished leadership, charged and carried
the 510 But it was at a terrible cost to the
Confe crates. After he had passed through
the ordeal of the charge unhurt, a chance 5
shot struck Gen. Johnston in the leg, scver- _
ing all important artery. His clothes were
pierced by missiles, the sole of his boot had
been torn by abullet and his horse shot in
four places, but he himself did not know that
he had received a severe wound until Gover-
nor Harris, seeing him reeling in his saddle,
rode up and asked if he was hurt. “Yes,"
was the reply, “and I fear mortally.” The
dying general was removed from his home,
and there upon the field he had so llcarl y won
his spirit passed away. This was about 2:30
o’clock. Gen. Bragg assuming the command,
renewed assaults were now made 011 the Fed-
eral left, the position was finally turned and
in a couple of hours more the weary reru-
nants of the Federal army were under the
shelter of the gunboats and a line of thirty
pieces of artillery that had been hastily gath-
ered by Col. Webster, of Gen. Grant’s staff,
and now constituted, with its slight infantry
su port, the only hope of the army.

Jackson and others, who had closed in around
the landing, were preparing to assault this
last position, Beauregard was at his Ilf‘:‘.d-
quarters near Shiloh meeting house \ ill the

were too much exhausted to storm the bat-

stances, just before sunset. orders were issued
to cease hostilities, collect the scattered forces

Low Wallace‘s fresh division .‘md Buell’s
forces at daylight. Whether his was an-

remain a subject of debate in Imam-y circles.

THE END OF THE Flu... DAY.
The scene around Plttsbur; Landing: at this
hour is indescribable. Even when Gen.
Grant arrived at 10 o’clock in the morning,
the panic stricken stragglers might have been
cOunted by thousands. Gen. Buell. who was
also an eve witness, says, “the mouth of
S“lake creek was full of them swimming
acress. The number at nightfall would not
have fallen short of 15,090.111g‘luding 15......
n mortally wounded .
who had passed dbwn 1115 l'lvfi' a'ud {he
demoralized fragments about the camps
on the plateau. Men mounted and on foot,
and wagons with their teams, all struggling
to force their way to the river, were mixed
up in apparently inextricablc confusion.”
Gen. Amuien’s brigade of Nelson’s division
arriving about :l 1; o’clock, were promptly dc-
ployedinto line to meet llllylhreatened at~
tack, but the enemy fell back, the exhausted
soldiers sought their bivouac, and the bloody
work of Sunday was finished.
NIGHT.
The day closed upon a. scene that has had
no parallel on the western continent. “’ith
the gathering shades of night came silence,
and the two armies, like torn and .bloody
gladiators, but each alert, rested from their
struggle. Grant’s forces had retired to the
camps of Gene. W. H. L. Wallace and Hurl-
but, while“ the equally scattered troops of
Beauregaiilbivouacked ill the (-aulpsof Sher-
man, McClernand and Prentiss. Soon after
dark the rain descended ill torrents. and all
through the dreary hours the moans of the
wounded mingled with the pitllcss beating of
the storm and the sullen thunder from the
gunbonts, which every fifteen minutes sent a
shell far inland to explode and banish sleep.
To Gen. Grant, however, all this was :1 golden
opportunity. “Tomorrow,” he saizl. to a
group of officers gathered around him at the
landin , “they will be exhausted, and we will
go at t em with fresh men,” and 1111011 after
midnight he slept on the ground. will: his
head on the stump of a tree for a pillow.-' it
was to drealn of the coming \il-tory. Nel-
son’s division was already in eight- and Crit-
tenden and McCook were near at hand, while
Gen. Lew Wallace, with is fresh division,
was present to redeem the error of 2110 day.
In this connection, it will be l'Cllll nilmrcd
that Gen. Wallace was 101‘ t to (ll-{cull 1‘s: im-
mense stores of the army at Cl-uznp‘s Laud-
ing and to resist any faint of the county that
might be made at that point. About. 11
o’clock in the morning Grunt had scat him a
verbal order to move his division and form
on Sherman’s right, but it was issued before
the Federals were drivon back from their
lines. Fortunately, before he reached the
rear of the Confederates, he was overtaken
while on his way by an aide with orders to
countermarch. Brit instead of six miles. his
troops were obliged to march fifteen, and thus
they did not reach the scene of conflict until
after sunset.
According to Gen. Buell, 7,000 men at the
utmost of the Army of Tclincsme, besides
Low Wallace’s 5,000, were ready! to take part
. 4 , ft, in t lc struggle
”T which was to be
renewed ill the
morning. Seven
thousand had been
killed 01‘ wounded,
3,000 were prison-
ers, about thirty
pieces of artillery
were in the hands
of the enemy, and
at least 13,090 were
absent from the
ranks and hope-
lessl y dell lol'alized.
- , During the even-
ons. Duane. ing Gcns. Grant
and Buell met at Sherman’s headquarters,
and it was there arranged that the attack
should be begun at daylight. Gen. Low Wal-
laco occupied the right of line, resting on
Snake creek; Sherman, McCleriland and
Hurlbut, with the remnants of \anlace’s and
Prentiss’ men, were posted ilcxt from right to
left, while McCook, Crittendcn and Nelson,
of Buell’s army, in the order named, consti-
tuted the left wing. The skirmishing began
early, the advanced outposts . of Nel-
son being the first to strike those
of the enem . The Confederate right
consisted of ardee’s corps, with Chal-
mer’s and Jackson’s brigades of BI‘agv’s
corps. Gen. Bragg was on the left with the
remainder of his command, and Clarke’s
division of Polk’s corps and 'I‘rabue‘s Ken-
tucky brigade. Gen. Breckinridge was on
the left of Hal'dee, and Gen. Polk fell into
line between Bragg and Breckluridgc. From
the beginning of the contest the lighting was
severe at every point. Several times the
ground was lost and won, batteries were
taken and retakcn, and Federals and Con-
federates lay side by side in the dcnsc woods
andrnuddv fields through which they had
struggled for the )ossesslon 0f the camps. It
was evident long efore noon, however, that
the enemy was being pushed steadily buck
and the ground conquered by them the day
before, stubbornly surrendered. The
muskctl'y at times surpassed in in; volume
and execution anything of the kind yet known
in the war; tents were riddled with bullet
holes: one tree not eighteen inches ill
diameter was struck by ninety balls not ten
feet from the ground, and man led horses,
mutilated men, living and dead, ‘I‘OkCIl gun
carriages and all the nameless debris of a bat-
tlefield were spread around in appalling con-
fusion.
Seeing his troops beginning to lag, and ex-
hausted regiments dropping out of line,
Beauregard between 2 and 3 o’clock sent
word to his extreme right to retreat in alter-
nate lines. 'I‘hislmovement was under the
command of Breckinbridgle, and it is conceded
was conducted with steadiness and with no
attempt to follow. Indeed Gen. Grant, ill his
report to Halleck, says that his force was
“too much fatigued from two days’ hard fights
ing and exposure in the open air to a. drench-
ing rain in the intervening night to pursue
immediately." Breckinrldge that night
camped about a mile and a half from the bat-
tlefield, and the next day moved three miles
further to the rear. The other commands
with their fragments marched back to their
encampnicnts around Corinth.
Iii the “Medical and Surgical History of
the War,” the loss in killed wounded ‘and
missing on the Federal side during the two
days’ flglltillg is fixed at 13,573. According
to Beauregard, the aggregate of Confederate
loss was 10,699. ‘ Alld so ended the battle of
Shiloh. The flag of the Union floated once more
along the lines from which it had been driven,
and the first foot prints were nlade in that
wonderful campaign which, beginning at
Donelson, took definite shape at Corinth and
Memphis, recovered the Missimippi from
Vicksburg to New Orleans, chrystalizcd in
“The March to the Sea,” and culminated at
Appomattox Court House.

Lung Power In Swimming.
Lung capacity, of course, is one of the most
important requisites iii swimming. The more
air a man can hold inside of hilii the more
buoyant he will be and the easier he can
swim. To develop lung power I open my
mouth, take as big a gulp of air as I can, alid
hold my breath. timing myself by a. watch.
When I can hold the wind in no longer I
blow it out through my mouth quickly and
take another gulp, and so on, doing that fre-
quently during the day. When I am out of
condition and training I can hold my breath
say about a minute and a quarter, but when
l in good condition I can hold ii twice as long.
i Any man can nearly double his lung power
by this exercise. In swimming always breathe
t through the mouth instead of the nose. It
takes too long to get a full breath through
I the nostrils.
You are swimming in a heavy sea, for ex-
ample, and, coming up from under one wave,
! you see another almost upon you. If you try
j to expel your breath though the nose and
I take ill a fresh supply that way, the wave
‘ will catch you in the middle of the operation
‘ and half strangle you before you know what
, is the matter. Through the mouth the lungs
l can be emptied and refilled ill less than a
5 second, and the swimmer is prepared to go
I under or through the wave. This is very im-
1 portant in surf swimming, when the swllnmcr
I gets a chance to breathe only by cenliu g to the
surface every half dozen strokes. In a short,
' choppy sea also, when the waves are running
' crosswise and slapping you 'on all sides in
; quick succession, you would soon be drowned
5 if you tried to breathe through the nose.
1 The breath must be taken quickly, sotllat the
swimmer may not lose his buoyancy—New

ask you how it Is that you will ban] a car

cheap as yOII can haul one to Jackson,
only 79 miles?”
"Yes, sir: be pleased to explain it to
you, air. You see. we generally kill a
brakeman at at every station we stop at,
and the cost of boxing and burying the
remains can’t be brought lower than $13.
If there is .one killed between here and

priceless historical value, we will here

will be remembered and save a great deal
of questioning in the future.
The picture was painted, not, as many
seem to suppose, by Trumbull, but by
Gilbert Stuart. He, though a native of
Rhode Island, had long been a resident
of London, where by a series of masterly
portraits, he had wou an abiding fame
asa painter. He was by nature gifted
with an admirable talent for reproduc-
ing the features of persons possessmg
unusual force of character, practical
superiority, and executive capacity.
Stuart only made three original portraits
of Washington. One of these he de-
stroyed; anotherwas made for Lord Lans-
downe; and the third is now in the cus-
tody of the Boston Art Museum. The
two surviving portraits are doubtless the
most perfect existing representations of
‘Washlngton. as he looked at the time
when they were painted—which was
about four years before his death. They
are Stuart's masterpieces, and have given
to thc world the recognized face of
Washington.
Stuart made twenty-six copies from
these originals, which are likewise called
originals. The one ill our Senate chum—
Lansdowne painting. It is unoble pic-
ture—a full-length figure, with one arm
resting on his sword-hilt and the other
extended.
It was purchased of Stuart lluder the
following circumstances: Washington
died December 14, 1799. In the follow-
ing year the General Assembly of Con-
necticut- appointed United States Sena-
tor Hillhouse, Deputy Governor Good-
rich, uud another gentleman, a commit-
tee to purchase a portrait of Washington.
They chose out of Mr. Stuart’s collection
the painting we have. That artist him-
self especially recommended it as the
best one outside of the two originals. It
was painted for South Carolina; but that
state preferred one of Trumbull’e, that
had a full military costume—which Stu-
art, with a better discernment of Wash-
ington's true character, never would
paint. The price paid for it was $800.
An item has been going the rounds of
the papers to the effect that the custo-
dian of the National Gallery of London,
speaking of famous portraits, said that
there were but few portraits of Washing-
ton of especial value; that all of Stuart’s
were of great value, but that decidedly
the best one of Stuart’s outside of the
two originals, was the property of the
state of Connecticut, and that it hung in
the Senate chamber at Hartford.‘ It was
readily worth (he added) $50,000, to place
in any first class Continental gallery.
VI’helhcr this story he apochryphal or
not—and it bears the ev1dence of being
true—the picture could not be bought
of Connecticut for twice that sum—1101',
probably, for any sum. It grows more
valuable with increasing years, and it
should, as it will. be guarded well by the
state—Hartford Times.
