Inning received 7,0(H) reinforcements
t'.otn (’rump’s landing. They fought
bravely, but the Confederates repulsed
them twice. About ten o’clock furth
er huge reinforcements were brought
up by I’uell. The fighting now be
came desperate along our whole line.
1 lie battle is still rag.ng, with varied
t utune, more furiously than yesterday.
We took 2,000 prisoners yesterday,
who arc now in Corinth, and several
batteries to day, and lost some. I
cannot give particulars. Gen. Beaure

Bragg, Hardee, Breckinridge, and

loss is heavy on both sides. It rained
hard last night, and considerable to
day.
Shiloh, 9 o clock, P. M., Apr it 7,
via. Corinth.—The battle has raged all
ii.iy, and night alone .stopped the com
batants. The fight was more obstinate
and bilious than on yesterday. The
loss on both suits is very heavy. The
enemy was heavily reinit rccri through
out the day. Seeing this, General
Bcauiegard withdiew his troops back
ol the f ederal encampment; the enemy
followed up, when the battle was re

two badly worsted to renew the fight
this morning. The enemy fell back
last night, and to day we are returning
to onr former lines. The Confederates
are confident and in line spirits.
Corinth, April 10.—Immediately al
ter tin 1 battle Beauregard sent a (lag of
liner concerning the burial of the dead.
Gen. Grant replied yesterday that be
cause of tlie warm weather he had
made heavy details for the burial of the
dead of both parties, and that the work
was already accomplished. He, there-
fore, refused to receive parties within
the Federal lines for that purpose.—
H:s n ate was respectfully addressed to
< ient rul Beauregard,Commanding Con
federate army, Miss. At Monterey the
courier found the Federals busy putting
their camps in order, and looking after
the dead and wounded. The t umber
of Confederates killed is much less
than was at fust supposed. The num
ber of wounded was comparatively
slight—the timber affording fine pro
lection for the Confederates. Prison
ers are sliU- eofnuig in. Nearly -1,000,
including abort 200 officers hive ar-
i ived.
The Federals daily send out strong
recoimoitering parties, and are con
stantly surprised by 11 jo Confederates
and many killed and captured. The
Confederates are holding firmly their
old lines, the men are in good condi
tion and ready for another fight. Our
wounded all armed this morning and
sent to Memphis ar.il Oxford.

tiie world over as the impersonation of

heart to dare, and the will to do all nny

The Battler Shiloh.
We are able to give very liule additional
news from this battle. Onr troops achiev
ed a brilliant victory on Sunday ; but on
Sunday 'night Buell brought up 40,000 fresh
•rcops, and ou Monday the fight was re
newed. From all we ean learn the last was
a drawn battle, and each parly now occu
pies its original position. The battle,there
fore, is not decisive. It will have to be
fought over again. We copy the following
from Uie Richmond Enquirer of tiie llth,
which is the latest official information we
have received :
The Confederates Hack at Corinth.—
Adjutant Geneial Cooper received despatch
es from General Bcauiegard yesterday, sta
ling that on Sunday night Buell with Ins
force had come up ami rallied and strength
ened the routed Federal column under
Grant; and that on Monday morning S.e
gave battle io the combined force;, and en
gaged them until one o’clock, when lie
thought prudent io retire, which lie did in
good order, He fell hack to Corinth, being
compelled to abandon to the enemy a por
tion of ilie urn s, stores and ammunition,
captured on (he Gill.
A despatch to one id die members of die
House, giving later intelligence, states that
Van Horn with his nimy hail effected a
junction with Beauregard, and that the hero
<d Manassas and Shiloh was being rapidly
reinforced by large additions from oilier
quarters. He cxpeeis to give the Federal
ists another brush a', no distant day.
The following may ire relied upon as the
substance ol a despatch received at tiie War
Department on yesterday, from General G.
T. Beauregard, dated at Corinth. The last
p..rngra{ Ii is in die exact language of die
despatch :
Having defeated Gen. Grant’s army, dri
ving him from all liis positions, and, taking ,
his artillery, commissary stores, camp ‘
equippnge, great quantities of ammunition.
Arc., on Sunday night following itie day ol
battle, Gen. Buell came up with his army,
and, crossing the river during the night.al-
tacked our positions near die liver vigo
rously the next morning. Onr forces held
these positions until one o'clock, when, in
conformity with Gen. Johnston's plan to
tali back upon Gorindi alter defeating Gen.
Grant, 1 directed our torces to retire to that
line.

to defend the State against her would-be

cellency, Governor Brown, which will be
found in another column of our paper this
morning.
It is well know to all who have watched

A PROCLAMATION.
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,)
Milledgeville, April 13tb, 1863. )
To the Militia of Georgia:
The terra for which part of the State
troops entered the service has expired,
and they have not all re-enlisted, but
part of them have returned to their
homes. This has weakened our force
on the Coast.
I have informed tti'e - Secretary of
War of the condition oF our army, and
have invited him to take the entire
charge of our defences. He has re
plied that he is not able, at present to
send troops to take the place,of-those
who are retiring, and has appealed to
the Slate to continue to provide, as far
as possible, for her own defence.
At this critical juncture Fort Pulas
ki, which was defended by Confederate
troops, has faMen into the hands otthe
enemy, and the city of Savannah is
menaced by a heavy force. The fall
of Savannah would make the defence
of the State more difficult.
In this emergency I again appeal to
youi patriotism anil your State pride,
to fill tip, at once, the places made va
cant by the retirement of troops lately
in service. 1 need not repeat what *1
have heretofore said about the nature
and magnUtuIcoClbe contest, and the
momentous consequences which hang
upon ouraction for lhe next few months.
You all understand ho\y much we have
at stake. We need not disguise it.—
Every man must act his part in the
contest. Those who fail to enter the
service of the State as volunteers may
soon be called into the Confederate
service by conscription.
I will arm, equip and accept into the
service of the State for three years, un
less sooner disbanded, the first thirty
companies which tender their services
to the Adjutant General at Milledge
ville. Each company before it is ac
cepteil must consist of at least seventy
eight men, including officers. The
companies will he organized into regi
ments as directed by law, when ten
companies are thrown together. The
time for which any member of the com
panies may have senred - the State or
Confederacy, will he deducted from
the three years ; and a bounty ol fifty
dol ars will be paid to eaeit private as
soon as the company to which ihey be
long lias been mustered into service.
\VI en Georgia is invaded, her
strongest fortress taken, her commer
cial metropolis beleagured by a hostile
force, and her very existence as a
State threatened, who will remain lon
ger at home ?

fall that there wasjjjfUy of grain made
in Georgia for homo'consumption. We
have been told that there is an abun
dance of wheat in this county, and
lhat there is no cause for the high prjees
for bread studs, except the spirit of ex
tortion, which seems to have taken as
much hold upon “ the honest farmer”
as upon the merchants and speculators,
whom they (the farmers and the peo
ple) have been cursing ant! denounee-
ing so long.
If it is wrong for merchants and
grocery men to demand exorbitant
prices for what they have to sell, is it
not equally wrong* for farmers to ex
tort upon starving humanity in all they
have to sell ? YVe would like to en
quire how many of ihe farmers in Troup

LATEST FROM CORINTH!
Corinth, April .—No general en
gagement has taken place since the
memorable struggle of the 6th and 7th.
VVe still hold part of the battle field,
and considerable skirmishing is going
on daily, in which the Confederates
neatly always get the best.
The Federal pfficial papers found on
the battle field show that their expedi
tionary forces o& the river, exclusive
ofGeneraFBueirs command, amount
ed to sixty-one thousand.
Packages of poisened balls were also
found on the field among the ammuni
tion of the enemy. It has been
definitely ascertained, by scientific
.analysts, that quantities of quinine,
which the enemy allowed to be smugg
led across the line into the Confeder
ate States, contain poisonous adultera ; '
tions. -v
The towns of Huntsville and Deca

OBITUARY.
|(Died, at Camp Wilson, near Savannah,
February 3l)th, 1862, of Typhoid Pneumo
nia, L. V. Shaskle, aged eighteen years,
six months and six days.
The above was, at the time of his death,
a member o.'ihe Thomas County Volunteers
Twenty-Ninth Regiment Geo, Vote. He
left his home in Jackson county in Decern- 1
ber last, with J. M Barnwell and .other re- !
emits, to assist in defending his country
from the invader. Alas! that so many
bright hopes should wither in the bud.—
While in the discharge of his duty, he was
aitacked by Measles.'.hat scourge of camps,
which has added so many ot the youths of
our country to me long list of martyrs in
the cause ol liberty. His disease termiua-
•ed in Typhoid Pneumonia, a few days be
fore his death. He received every attention
that the camp could furnish ; but O, how
sweet to die, with the loved ones at home to
oheei the last moments—a fond mother, or
perchance one dearer stilt, to bathe the fe
vered brow ! But God does all things well.
The deceased was a member of the Church:
he was kind and affectionate to his com
panions. His life before and after he join
ed the army was such as to give hopes that
our loss was his gain; and his relatives and
friends should not mourn as those that have
no hope, hut rather rejoice that his warfare
is over; and should strive to meet -him
where sorrow, separation, and death is no
more. Peace to his remained

Major G. W Morgan left this city
yesterday, en route for Western North
Carolina, to recruit a battalion among
tho Cherokee warriors. The braves of
this gallant aboriginal race have already
been filling up the ranks of our volun
leers in the Tennessee regiment, and
wc learn that large numbers yet are
eager to enter the sen-ice. In the first
Revplntion, their gallant service at
King's Mountain, and on other bard
contested-fields, were recognized b>y the
Statu of North Carolina in the grant ol
the land which thejf now occupy. They

questions, and worthy of consideration
by everybody. * -
The truth is, speculation and extor
tion are abroad in the land fighting the
people of this government with a two-
edged sword. If we fail in this strug

tice, at reduced rates to onr borne customers and
trade. Since that notice we have received letters
from various counties over the State, and some
out of-the State, wishing Leather and Sh-jea at
tbe prices named in tbe notice. It being out of
our power to supply one-fourth tbe demand, we
have concluded to sell said leather and shoes at
the customary rates of our countv. Owing to the
scarcity of hides and the price we have to pay,
(27c in Savannah,) we .aro of the opinion that
Leather sod Shoes will go higher.
