Our Exchanges
Will confer a favor, which we will at any
time reciprocate, by noticing our new Terms.
Our New Terms.
On the 16th of April our increased Terms
went 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 loss, 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
usfeful 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
a9 they were when we commenced the paper,
we would now, with our large circulation,
have been able to increase its Bize and en
hance its interest.
We shall labor earnestly to make our paper
useful and interesting. Our object shall be
to serve the people and promote the best in
terests of the country. We shall do this as
cheap as we possibly caD, so as to make our
paper meet expenses.
A Christian Soldier.
Our Beauregard is a model man every way
as well as one of the greatest warriors of the
age. He is a Christian—humble, meek, and
of deep, genuine piety. He gives God the
glory in all things good, and receives all His
chastenings with the humble resignation
and faith, which none but (he truly pious in
heart and holy in life can feel or appreciate.
In his dispatch to Gen, Cooper, after the
battle of Shiloh, he said, “ We this morning
attacked the enemy in strong position, and
after a severe battle—thanks be to the Al
mighty—we gained a glorious victory.
The New Orleans Picayune of the 8th inst.,
contains the following dispatch from the Gen
eral to his wife :
“Battle Field, April 7.
“ Mas. Caroline Beacbegard :
“ Thanks be to God, we have gained a moat
complete victory.
G. T. BEAUREGARD.
We do not, as many persons, believe God
will not smile upon our cause, or any other
cause, which men control who are not Chris
tians. We believe God will sanction and bless
the honest efforts of any man engaged in a
righteous and holy cause, if they earnestly
apply themselves to the good work; but we
are by no means insensible to the great ad
vantages of having praying Christian men at
the head of our civil and military affairs, as
Davis and Beauregard are. We might also
name many men occupying high places in
our councils who are models of uprightness
and purity in heart and life, who trust in
God, while doing their duty otherwise. A
large proportion of the men from Georgia con
nected with the Government may be thus
classed.
We say God is with us. Let us take cour
age and do our whole duty with our whole
might. /
Startling Fiocbe9.—The debt of Liacoln-
dom is so vast that the Yankees admit that
unless the can conquer and rob the South this
SpriDg, by July it will reach $1,000,060,000.
Very tew people have an adequate idea of this
sum. If it was in gold, allowing two hundred
and fifty dollars to the pound, it would be four
millions of pounds, or twenty thousand tons
of two thousand pounds each. If in silver, at
a dollar to the ounce, it would be sixty-two
and a half millions of pounds. If carried on
drays, a thousand pounds on each dray, it
would take 62,600 drays to carry it. Suppose
« person could count a dollar each second and
work six hours each day—then it would take
one hundred and twenty years to count it
If in a pile of half dollars, allowing ten to the
inch, it would make a pile over 3166 miles
high, or if iaid down on a line, each an ioch
across, it would be nearly seventeen thousand
- mile* along. People of the South, the enemy

The Battle of Shiloh
THE SECOND DAY’S WORK.
[Officially rf^ortel f C r the Mobile Adv. and Beg.]
Battle-field of Satton, 1
(Near the Tennessee River,) f
Monday night, April ", 1862. J
We have had another day of battle and
blood. The fight was renewed this morning
at 8 o’clock by the enemy, who had been re
inforced during the night; and with the ex
ception of short breathing spells, itsaged with
tremendous violence and fury until night sep
arated the combatants. The apprehensions
expressed in my letter of last night have been
realized. Buell did come up this morning,
and with him came large reinforcements. But
I am anticipating the events of the day. Let
me resume the narrative where my last letter
left it, and rehearse the varying fortunes cf
the day in the order of their occurrence. This
is necessary to a proper understanding of the
battle; ami until this general sketch or out
line is drawn, it will be impossible to enter
into those minor details which constitute an
interesting feature in the picture.
Night alono prevented us from reaping the
fruits of our brilliant victory of yesterday.—
It was quite dark when we chased the foe
back to Pittsburg Landing, where he sought
protection from his gunboats and river works.
Had Beauregard possessed the power of Josh
ua to command the sun to stand still in the
heavens for the space of an hour, our victory
would have been as complete as that of the
great Hebrew warrior. As it was, we expect
ed to be able to capture so much of the Fede
ral army this morning as could not be trans
ferred to the bank of the river last night, un
less large reinforcements should come to
their relief.
The enemy received the mostimportant aid
from his gunboats. Indeed, he is indebted to
these gunboats for his escape from certain de
struction. They, together with his river
works, answered the valuable purpose of for
tifications, to which he could retire when beat
en on the field. With only our light field pie
ces, it was impossible to operate at night with
any hope of success against these works and
boats, or to prosecute during the heavy storm
that followed the work of completing the vic
tory. Our forces had reached the river in one
or two places as night came on, and in this
way had gained some knowledge of the ene
my’s defences. With this knowledge, and the
enemy driven into close quarters and caught
between our lines and the river, thero was
every reason to belieye we would be able to
capture the larger part of his forces this
morning, provided they were not reinforced
during the night or transferred to the other
Dank of riTcr.
The bo&ts kept up a curretaxiT lire trurrug
the night from their heavy guns. It appears
that the enemy did not seek to recross the
river. Knowing that largo reinforcements
were at hand, he held his position on the riv
er bank until this morning. Gen. Beauregard
knew there was a division of 7,000 men at
Crump’s Landing,a few miles below Pittsburg,
and he gave orders last night to proceed
against them this morniEg, and to capture
them. This division succeeded, however, in
forming a junction with the forces at Pitts
burg, and at 8 o’clock this morning the Fede-
rals, thus reinforced, moved out from the riv
er and offered us battle. They must have
known that other reinforcements were at hand,
and that they would arrive upon the field at
an early hour. The fight was renewed about
a mile and a half from the river, or midway
between the river and the Federal encamp
ment.
The enemy cams up to the work with great
spirit and resolution. Appeals had doubtless
been made to the men during the night, and
the repossession of their camp represented to
them as a point of honor from which there
could be no escape The attack was directed
against our centre; and though vigorous and
spirited, and not expected, it was repulsed,
and the enemy driven back with great slaugh
ter. He rallied again, however, and this time
he moved with an increased force upon our
right wing. Here, too, he was repulsed and
forced to retire. His next attempt was direct
ed against our left wing, his attacks growing
more vigorous, and hi3 forces increasing with
each succeeding movement. Indeed, it was
now evident that he had received large acces
sions to his ranks, and that we had fresh
troops and heavy odds to contend agamst.
But the Confederates nobly did their duty, and
the attack on the left was also repulsed. The
enemy again retired, but only for a time; for
Buell’s forces had now come up, and the attack
was renewed all along our lines, on the right,
centre and left. 8imultaceous'y with this, an
attempt was made to turn both our wing9.
The battle now raged with indescribable
fury. I have never heard or imagined any
thing like the roar of the artillery, and the
incessant rattle of the small arms. The deep
thunder bass of the one, and the sharp, shrill
tenor of the other, intermingled with the
shrieks «f bursting shells and the whiiriug of
cleaving rided canon balls, was grand beyond
description. It wa3 the aryful Hymn of Bat
tle roiling upward to the skies and literally
shaking the earth beneath. It was & solemn
anthem, the notes of which wore traced in
blood, aud uttered irom brazen throats, that
might have satisfied Mars himself.
The confederates stood their ground against
the furious onset, aud for the fourth time the
enemy was compelled to retire
” As meets the rock a thousand ware;;—
Sc- InisfaU met Lochlin.”
It was now one o’clock. Our men were
greatly exhausted; they had fought eighteen
hours, and withal had slept but little, having
been engaged much of the preceding night in
searching out and taking care of the s-ounded.
It was evident, too, that the enemy had been
largely reinforced, and that each succeeding
attack was made by fresh troops and over
whelming numbers. In view oi these facts,
and ui order to rest his men, and to prevent
an unnecessary loss of life, Gen. Beauregard
availed himself of its falling back of the Fed-
erals t> withdraw his troGps to the enemy’s
line of encampment, where we rented last
night, inis was about a mile and a half from
the point where the fight commenced this
morning.
The enemy hesitated for some time, but fi»
nally came up and renewed the conflict. He
was met with undiminiahed oourage and res
olution by tb« Confederates, who displayed
the greatest possible gallantry. The battle
raged on, and night alone separated the com
batants. At length the enemy fell baok, and
so did the Confederates, both aides badly
worsted and severely punished. Hardee,
who commanded the front line or oorps, held
his ground until the enemy withdrew. Our
reserves had been engaged throughout the
day, and Polk, Bragg, and Hardee, each in
his proper field, and nobly co-operated in the
work of the day. They deserve great credit,
as do the brigade and regimental offioers,
and the gallant spirits whom they led to bat
tle. Gen. Breckinridge particularly distin
guished himself. Though not a military man
by profession, Gen. Beauregard is reported
to hare said that he displayed great aptitnde
and sagacity, and handled bis brigade with
skill and judgement.
Having said thus much, I feel it my duty
as a faithful chronicler of the times, to refer
to a matter here which had a controlling in
fluence upon the fortunes of the day.
Our attack yesterday was so sudden and
successful that the enemy found it impossible
to remove his quartermaster and commissary
stores, or even to save the baggage of the
men. The temptation thus offered was too
great for our troops to resist. Sunday night
large numbers of them, supposing there
would be no more fighting, set to work to
gather up such spoils as the Federal encamp
ment contained. There were arms, overcoats,
oaps, shoes, coffee, sugar, provisions, trunks,
blankets, liquors, private letters and num
berless olber things whioh the enemy had
been compelled to abandon. Such of our
troops as were engaged in searching out the
wounded and dead, or were not restained by a
sense of duty, wandered from their respec
tive camps, and spent mnoh of the night in
plundering. Orders had been issued by Gen.
Beauregard positively prohibiting anything
of the kind, but many of the troops are raw,
and officers and men were alike elated at our
success; and consequently the necessary,
steps were not taken to enfore the orders of
the commander in chief. At an early hour
this morning, the men renewed their search
after the spoils of victory, and many of them
were separated from their commanders when
the enemy renewed the battle. Some of them
had even started back to their camps, loaded
with such articles aa they had been able to
find.
After deducting the killed and wounded,
and those who were engaged in removing the
wounded, it would be no exaggeration to say
that 5,000 sound and able-bodied men had
thus wandered out of line, and took no part
whatever in the battle to day. On the other
hand, the enemy had been largely reinforced.
Thus, with a diminished force on our part,
we had to meet fresh troops and a more nu
merous army than that we encountered yes
terday. And thus, too, the spoils have pre~
vented us from again driving ths enemy back
into the Tennessee, notwithstanding great
odds in his favor.
It was well enough, while the conflict lasts
til, that our troops should exchange their
smooth bored muskets and Bhot guns for the
splendid arms thrown away by the retreating
foe ; but there can be no excuse for the dis
graceful proceeding to whioh I have alluded.
The spoils of victory are not less demoraU
iziog than defeat and disaster. Such is the les
son taught by history in all ages oi the world,
from the time when Achan was reduced by
“the wedge of gold,” down to tfie present
day. It is hoped that the experience of this
day will not be thrown away either by our
officers or soldiers. P. W. A.

Incidents and Items from the Battle of
Shiloh.
The following dispatch, received from Gen.
Beauregard, is published by the N. O. Delia:
• Corinth, April 8.—We had another severe
battle yesterday, and have returned to this
place, which I can hold easily The army is
in good spirits.
“The Louisiana troops behaved well. I am
still untouched.
G. T. BEAUREGARD.”
The N. O. Picayune of the 9th says: “The
remains of the late Gen. A. 8. Johnston will
arrive at the Jackson Railroad Depot this
morning, and will be received by a military
escort detailed for that purpose by Msj. Gen.
Lovell. They will be taken to the City Hall,
where funeral honors will hereafter be paid
them.”
The Picayune contains the following inter
esting dispatches;
“BattlbFikld, 6 o'clock, P. M., Monday,
the 7th, (via Corinth, April 8.)—Our army was
compelled to iall hack from the river to the
site of the enemy’s first camp, this afternooD,
on account of the unpleasant vicinity of his
gunboats, and great reinforcements (estimated
at sixty thousand) which were hourly pok
ing in.
“Our army retreated in good order, with all
their artillery and thirty pieces of the ene
my's.
“The enemy’s batteries ceased firing at 5
o’clock this afternoon.
“This soeond day’s fight has been the blood
iest conflict ever known on tbU continent,
and was illustrated by deeds of valor and he
roism never exceeded.
“There was a report that Gens. Van Dorn
and Price had come up with reinforcements.
But this was premature. It was saused by
the enthusiastic cheering oi our men all along
the lines at the speech of Beauregard to the
troops, in which he said that men had never
fought with more intrepid valor than during
these two days, and-that he would continue
the fight from every hill top and valley until
the invader would be driven from our soil.”
LATER.
“Corinth, April 8.—I arrived here this
morning, having ridden from the battle-field
all night in a drenching rain
“Our troops fell back last night to the place
where the conflict on the 6th commenced, and
formed in line of battle, two miles from Mick
ey’s House.
“We are preparing to meet the enemy with
reinforcements.
“ Gen. Beauregard led the ISth Louisiana
and the Orleans Guards in person, charging
the enemy's lines with the colors of the regi
ment in his hands, driving back the enemy
with great slaughter.”
“ CoBiaf*. April 9.—Our rearguard ij still
near the field of battle, front of Mickey’s
house, Gen Breckinridge in command.
“The enemy's adv&nco was attacked yester
day afternoon by Forest's and Wharton’s cav
airy, which captured a large number of pris
oners, and drove the enemy back.
“ Seventy-four of tho prisoners have just
been brought in.
“Forest was wounded, and his son was kill
ed.
“ Our troops are all in the highest spirits,
and quite ready, they say, for another fight.
“Van Dorn’s reinforcements of 20,000 men
are coming up. A part of them arrived last
night.
“The advacce of Gen. Hardee suffered most
in the recent engagement. There were 1,100
casualties out of 2.500 men, in Gen. Cleburne’s
brigade. In Col. Thornton’s 6th Mississippi,
there were 800 casualties out of 400 men.
“The enemy’s loss is estimated at over 6,0u0
in killed and wounded.
“Over 5,000 prisoners have been counted up
to this time. They have been sent to Tusca
loosa, Ala”

The FeoKgALs at MoMinyille.—We have,
from what is deemed a perfectly authentic
souroe, news that on Thursday or Friday left,
a company of 84 Federals went to MeMinvilie
on a scouting expedition, and an attempt was
made by a Capt McHenry, of Overton coun
ty, with 200 men, to capture them, The Yan
kees, doubtless posted by tories, laid an am
buscade by barricading themselves with fence
rails at one point, while they placed their
horses at another to attract our men. The
ruse succeeded ; our men charged toward the
horses, and in doiag so, passed under the
Yankee fi?e from the barricades, were repuls
ed, and retreated, wit* a less of four men.
It is, also, said to be a fast, that the wife
of a Confederate Captain (at home on fur
lough, we believe,) was asked by the same
Yankee crew where her husband was, and,
on her psFsistegt refusal to tell, they hucg
her. It is suggested that tjijsy, probably, did
not intend to take her life, but merely to ex
tort from her the desired knowledge, and that
they let her haDg longer than they designed.
Admitting tfcia to be true, it does not, in the
least, mitigate the daviUsh atroeity of the
