Our New Terms,
With our next issue onr increased Terms
will go into operation. We very much re
gret the necessity which compels us to take
this step in order to insure our ability to
keep up the publication of our paper. We
cannot afford to publish it at a Iobb, and we
Know our patrons do not desire us to do so.
When the cost of paper, ink, and everything
connected with the publication of a first class
daily paper, again diminishes, we will either
reduce our terms or increase the size of our
paper.
Our object has been to make our paper
useful by an extended circulation, at rates
so low that every body could afford to sub
scribe. We have succeeded in getting a very
large circulation, and if times had remained
as they were when we commenced the paper,
we would now, with our large circulation,
have been able to increase its size and en
hance its interest.
We shall labor earnestly to make our paper
useful and interesting. Our objeot shall be
to serve the people and promote the best in
terests of the country. We shall do this as
cheap as we possibly can, so as to mske our
paper meet expenses.
A Few Words to Business Correspon

When writing on bittiness, make the busi

tinc.ly, in a few words, what the business is
wmch you write about.
If you send money, mention the amount

ure amount sent, correspond with tne amount
named. If it is for a new subscription say so:
and if to renew an old subscription name that
fact also.
Always state distinctly whether you want
Daily or Weekly.
When you change the direction from one of-

where it has been previously sent and where
you want it to go to. Unless you do this we
can’t make any change. We cannot undertake
to look through eight ponderous volumes, con

could mention so easily.
Always write the name of your post office,
county and Stale, and your name, in a VERY

criticisms or suggestions to make, or write
something for publication, don’t mix it with
your business. Let it be on a separate sheet.
A little attention to these suggestions on the

«J. C. Ordeman— Making Gunboats—Vlgi-

The Montgomery Advertiser has the fol
lowing :
- Whereas, we have seen it stated in seme
papers in the State of Georgia, that one C.C.
Ordeman, who formerly resided in this city,
calls upon the citize ns of that State to con
tribute to the building of an iron clad gun-
boat at this place, and not having heard of
any arrangement of the sort aB«g «« cid-

worthy of such an undertaking,
“ Resolved. That in the opinion of this
Committee, said Ordeman is totally unworthy
of such a trust and confidence, and by such
publication he is attempting an imposition
on the public, and that this resolution be
published in the Montgomery “ Advertiser,”
wnb a request that the papers of Georgia also
publish the same."’

THE B ATI LE OF SHILOH S
THE FIRST DaY’8 FIGHT
Battle-Field or “Shiloh," |
(Seventeen mi eseastef Corinth,
Sundav night, April 6, 1862.)
I reached Corinth yesterday, but found it
impossible to get a horse to come out to the
army, then encamped fourteen miles east of
that place, on the road leading to Pittsburg
Landing This landing is tour miles below
Hamburg on the Tennessee river I was
more fortunate at 10 o’clock this morning,
however, and succeeded in procuring a mule
and a hard Mexican saddle without any pad
ding in the seat. In this way I reached the
field a little after noon.
It was known that the enemy had a heavy
force on this aide the river, and that Buell
was advancing overland from Columbia with
a large reinforcing column. In view of these
facts, Gens. Johnston and Beauregard deter
mined to give battle before Buell should come
up. The army was pnt in motion on Thurs
day, and by Saturday evening our entire
f.,rco tad got into position, it wfto the inten
tion of our officers to have given battle on
yesterday, but some of the regimeats were
raw, and there was some delay in getting them
ready, General Johnston issued the following
stirring appeal to the army before it left Cor
inth -
Headers, Army of the Mississippi, I
Corinth, Miss., April 3, 1862, }
Soldiers of the Army of the MUsissippi
I have put you in motion to offer battle to
the invaders of your country. With the res
olution and disciplined valor becoming men
fighting, as you are, for all worth living or
dyiDg for, you can but march to a decisive
victory over the agrarian mercenaries sent to
despoil your liberties, property and honor.—
Remember the precious stake involved; re
member the dependence of your mothers,
your wives, your sisters and your children on
the result; remember the fair, broad, abound
ing land, the happy homes, and the ties that
would be desolated by your defeat.
The eyes and hopes of eight millions of
people rest upon you; you are expected to
show yourselves worthy of your race and lin
eage-worthy of the women of the South,
whose noble devotion in this war has never
been exceeded in any time. With such in
centives to brave deeds, and with the trust
that God is with us, your Generals will lead
you confidently to the combat—assured of
success, a. s. Johnston,
General Commanding.
We commenced the attsc-k at sunrise this
morning. Our order of battle is said to be
the strongest known to military science. We
advanced in three parallel lines or corps, each
one in line of battle. The first or front corps
was led by Major General Hardee. Immedi
ately behind him came a full complement of
artillery. A thousand yards in his rear fol
lowed the second corps or line, led by Msjor
General Bragg. Immediately in his rear came
the third corps, being our reserve, command
ed bv Major General Folk. General Johnston
was in supreme command, nobly assisted by
Gen. Beauregard.
The artillery was commanded by Brig. Gen.
Trudeau, under the orders of General Bragg
General T. distributed his batteries along the
roads and upon such open elevations as he
could find. The batteries have been handled
with consummate skill and effect throu»V><■»>■•*
j., — --1 -'fro ouicers.
The nature of the ground is exceedingly
unfavorable for field operations. With the
exception of two or three small fields of eight
or ten acres each, the battle has been fought
wholly in the woods. The woods are quite
open, however, much more so than in Geor
gia; but they nevertheless interfered very
much with the evolutions of the army. The
grouad is rolling, and m many places quite
wet and boggy near the water courses, seve
ral of which cross the field, and still further
impeded the operations of the day.
But Gen. Hardee has encountered the ene
my in front The sun is just rising as his di
vision is hurled against them like a thunder
bolt. The enemy was not expecting an attack,
as was evident from the condition in which
he received us. Indeed, he was not aware of
our near presence; ho never expected us to
attack him, and was doubtful whether we
would ever allow him to get near enough to
attack ue. Hardee “set h;s squadron in the
field" with great judgment, and l9d them
most gallantly throughout the day. I have
not been able to come up with him, but hear
that he escaped without a scratch.
The enemy was at length driven from his
first line of encampments. Meanwhile he re
covered from his surprise, and met our onset
with firmness and resolution. The fighting
now became hot and close, and raged with
great violence and fury along our entire front
The right and left wings as well as our cen
tre were engaged, and the roar of artillery
and the rattle of musketry fairly shook the
earth. But on Hardee presses, backed up by
Bragg and followed by Polk—each corps roll
ing onward like succeeding waves of the
storm-lashed sea. Hardee’s corps advances,
but it is done slowly; for the enemy has ral
lied his forces and is handling them with cool
ness and spir t We moved forward as it were
by inches, but still we did move; and never
at any time daring the day did we lose one
foot of the grouad we gained,
At length we reached the centre of the en
emy’s encampment. He yielded his home in
the woods with much reluctance, and dispu
ted every foot of ground with courage and
resolution. Thus far we have advanced thro*
the woods, which are almost destitute of un
dergrowth. Everywhere the trees bear the
marks of the terrible conflict. Limbs were
carried away, and in some places trees a foot
is diameter were cut off. In a few instances,
the long, sharp rifled cannon balls passed en
tirely through the tree. The traces of the
musketry fire are to be seen everywhere upon
the trees end bushes, and also in the numbers
of the dead and wounded over whom we ad
vanced.
At two o'clock the resistance had increased,
and become more obstinate than at any time
daring the day. Gen. Johnston, in order to
m *ke a sure thing of it. placed himself at the
head of our attacking force, and led the
charge in person. How unfortunate that he
should have done so, for at half past 2 o’clock
he received a mianie baL in his breast, and
had his leg badly torn by a shell. He tell,
and died soon afterwards, bat not until the
enemy had given way sli along the lines He
died in the arms of Col. Wm. Preston, of Ken
tucky, his aid and brother-in-law, and former
U. 8. Minister to Spain, while Gov. Harris, of
Tennessee, another aid, supported his head.
Thus a brave soldier and skillfnl officer has
gone down before the red tide of battle. He
fell in the very arms of victory, with onr flag
upraised and advancing under the mighty
impetus given to our attack by his own indi
vidual heroism and daring. Let the Repub
lic do justice to his memoro, and repair the
grievous wrongs which have of late been
heaped upon him
The fall of Gen. Johnston did not In the
least discourage our men ; for they knew the
g&llaut Beauregard was still left to them,
with many other officers of skill and cour
age On they press, therefore Bragg has
long since brought up his corps, composed for
the most part of his seasoned Pensacola
troops, and most admirably has he handled
them throughout the entire day. Gallant
and ehivalric, yet cool and sagacious, he
knows when and where to plant his terrible
blows. Gen Polk also was many times in
the thickest of the fight, and bore himself
throughout the battle, whether in the imme
diate front of the enemy or bringing up his
reserves, with the calm courage and serene
spirit of a christion warrior. Only a portion
of our reserves were ever brought into ac
tion, there being no necessity for it.
At half past five the enemy was in full re
treat, aud hotly pursued by the victorious
Confederates. He fled back to the Tennessee,
and took shelter under his gunboats and riv«
er works, the fire from which was too heavy
for our light field batteries. Night, too, had
come on, and our army returned to the eue
my’s camp, aud are now occupying it. The
Federals left their tents standing, together
with all their camp equipage, quartermaster
aud commissary stores, private baggage, med*
ical supplies and considerable ammunition.
The attack was so furious—it came so much
like the first clap of thunder when the storm
begins—and the pursuit so close and unre
lenting, that they had no time to remove any
thing—not even to gather up their records
aad half-finished letters. The amount of
property taken is immense. Our men are
now regaling themselves upon the ample sup.
plies of exoellent food everywhere to be
found.
I am unable to speak with certain 1 ./ of the
number of the enemy's forces. One of the
first prisoners 1 encountered (a lieutenant,
who formerly belonged to the old armyj, es
timated them at 120,000 men. Others put
them down at 100,000; others, again, at 75,»
000, and some at 60,000, Gen. Prentiss, who
was captured about 5 o’clock, says the Fed
eral army on this side of the river was com*
posed of six divisions, of about 7,600 each,
which would make the forces of the enemy
engaged about 45,000. They probably ex«
ceeded this number, without including the
forces on the other side of the river. At so
time bad we as many men engaged as the
enemy. _ _
XXor can i speak With certain y .r theuuui-
oer of batteries or prisoners we have captur
ed. It is too early after the battle, and too
much confusion prevails, for me to get at the
precise facts. The number of prisoners is
variously estimated; some say 2,000, and
others 4,000 : one report has it that one en
tire brige has been captured This is, doubt
less, a mistake. Among the prisoners are
many officers, and the greater part of the
Seventh Iowa Regiment, who lately petition
ed the Federal Congress fer permission to in
scribe upon their banner the victories of Bel
mont and Dontlson
The number of batteries taken is said to
be eighteen, which, allowing six pieoes to
the battery, would make one hundred and
eight guns, It is more probable that parts
of eighteen batteries were taken. Several
stands of colors were also captured—three
by the First Louisiana Regiment alone. I
have seen two of them myself, and was pres«
ent when they were brought in and delivered
to Gen. Beauregard. I witnessed, also, the
arrival aud presentation of Gen. Prentiss,
who was taken by a staff officer or officers of
Gen. Polk, and conducted to the latter, who
sent him, with his oompliments, immediately
to Gen. Beauregard. The following is the
substance of the conversation that ensued
after they had Bhaken hands:
Prentiss.—Well, sir, we have felt your pow
er to-day, and have had to yield.
Beauregard.—That is natnral, sir. You
could not expect it to be otherwise. We are
fighting for our homeB, for our wives and
children, for generations to come after ue,
and for liberty itself. Why does your gov*
eminent thus war upon ns, and seek ns upon
our own soil ?
Prentiss.—Our people have never yet bpen
able to bring themselves to consent to see the
Union broken up. Such a thing has not en
tered into our calculations, and cannot.
Beauregard,—The Union is already broken,
and the last man, woman and ofaild in the
South will willingly perish before it shall be
restored, What force have yon bad engaged
to-day ?
Prentiss.—Six divisions numbering a little
over 7,000 each—the whole not amounting to
more than 40,000. Gen. Grant commands,
assisted by Gens. Sherman, McClernand.
Hurlburt, Wallace, and myself. Gen. Smith
is sick, and haB not been upon the field. My
division was the first to receive, yonr attack,
and we were not properly supported; if we
had been the day might have gone otherwise.
There has been mismanagement somewhere.
Had I been supported in time, we should
have broken yonr centre at the time Xre stop
ped yonr advance.
Beauregard.—You are mistaken, General.
My order of battle was such, that if yea had
even penetrated the centre of our front Hne,
it wcnld only hare been tc jjnepupter certain
destruction; we would have eat yon tc pieces
Has Gss. Buell arrived, gpd what gre his
forces ?
Prentiss, (hesitating).—I do not know
where Geu„^Buoll if, or the number of bis
forces. I have heard he was at Nashville,
and then at Columbia, and also that he was
on the road. Wa do not look for him under
fortyneight hears. I fear yon will capture
the greater part of onr army op this side of
the river. Yen have met and overcome to
day the best troops we have
Beauregard —I am glad to hear it, and
trust that the result of this day’s work may
bring your government to a frame of mind
mere favorable to peace.
Prentiss —That can hardly be, sir if
your army had pushed on after the battle of
Manassas, it might have taken Washington,
and overrun the North, and brought us to
peace. We had an insufficient supply of arms
then, and were not prepared. Th9 muskets
purchased in Belgium by Fremont were of
but little account; you could turn your
thumb in the muzzle, the bore was so large.
We also procured from England the old arms
that have been stored away in London Tower
ever since the war with Napoleon in 1815.
They are of no value whatever. It is only
within the last Bixty days that we have be
come thoroughly and efficiently armed. Our
supply is now ample, and we cannot be over
come. Your government has made two mis-
takes—first, in not availing itself of the frnits
of the battle of Manassas ; and secondly, in
waiting until we had become well armed and
organized. We have now 250,000 men in
eamps of instruction, who will be brought
upon the field as they may be needed We
do not doubt the final result.
' Beauregard.—Nor do we. Our cause is
just, and God will yet give us the victory.
Prentiss.—We know you have able officers
and a spirited army to baok them, but our
confidence is firm. And permit me to add,
General, that among all the Confederate offi-
cers, no one is so great a favorite with us as
yourself. Such is my own feeling, and that
of our army and people.
Beauregard— You are very kind, sir; but we
have much better officers than 1 am. Gen. Sid
ney Johnston and Gen. Joseph Johnston are
both my superiors in ability as well as rank.
I have served under both of them most cheer
fully, and know them well. L care nothing
for rank; the good of the country is what I
look to.
Other observations were made, but the fore
going embraces the chief points of the inter
view. Gen Prentiss was easy and pleasant,
and not at all depressed Apparently, too, he
was quite candid; and yet 1 thought I detect
ed a disposition to evade, if not to deceive, in
his reply as to the whereabouts aud forces of
Buell. I believe that Buell is near at band.
It is to be hoped I am mistaken, and that our
men, who have already fought twelve long
hours, may not have to encounter a fresh force
to-morrow.
I am unable to approximate the number
killed and wounded on either side. The loss
upon the part of both must be very heavy,
though not so great as it won id y 1—— *"»»
— •—-o jmiwciton a Horded by the trees.
Among our wounded are Gens. Cheatham,
Bushrod Johnson, Bowen, Clark, and Gladden
—the first two not seriously. Gen. Gladden,
who commanded the right wing of Hardee's
corps, lost his left arm. Gen. Cheatham re
ceived a ball in the shoulder, and Gen Bush-
rod Johnson one in the aide. Gen. Bowen was
wounded in the neck, and doing well at last
accounts. Col. Adams, of the 1st Louisiana
regulars, succeeded Gen. Gladden in the com
mand of the right wing, and was soon after
■hot, the ball striking him just above the eye
and coming out behind the ear. Col. Kitt Wil
liams, of Memphis, and Col. Blythe, of Missis
sippi, formerly consul to Havanas, were killed,
but my knowledge of the regiments is too lim
ited, and the confusion too great to procure
liable details The Mississippiana, Tennes
seeans and Louisianians suffered terribly. All
the troops behaved most gallantly. Never did
men fight better; and yet many of them were
raw troops, fresh from their homes The 31st
Alabama regiment took two batteries, and the
first Louisiana a section of artillery,* other
regiments did equally well
The battle was fought around Shiloh church,
the place of worship of the surrounding coun
try, and will be known in history as the Bat
tle of Shiloh.
I write in Capt. Fulton’s tent, Ouartormas-
ter of the 68d Ohio regiment, which Gen. Beau
regard has kindly assigned to two friends and
myself. Capt. F was good enough to leave an
ample supply of paper, which l have been
using freely. The tent was perforated by 51
musket balls.
It is now raining very hard. Up to sunset,
the day was lovely. The change is the result,
doubtless, of the heavy cannonading kept up
since early morning. The enemy is still
throwing shells from hi# gunboats, and some
of them fall uncomfortably near our tent.
Whether he fears a night attack, er is seeking
to cover the transfer of his army to the other
bank of the river, it were impossible to say.
Will Buell come? I have my fears But let
us leave to-morrow to tell its own tale Mean
while 1 shall court the sweet embrace of Som-
nus upon Capt. Fulton’s camp cot. There is
many a weary soldier lying on the wet ground
to-night, who is ready to join with Sancho
fan^a and say, “ blessed be the man who first
invented sleep.” p, yj ^
