history ot General Basil Duke o F olk ' s corps prepared
Morgan's celebrated Partisan Rangers, ot
►Which "Duke was the most celebrated officer.
It relates to the battle of Shiloh, and com
mences on the morning of the Cth of April:
' The afternoon wore away-and uo sign in
the enemy’s camps indicatedTbat he had dis
covered our presence. The night fell, and
the stein prewnfdionsfor the morrow having
been all completed, the army sank to rest.
The forest was soon almost as still as before
it hail been tenanted with the hosts of war.
But, before the day broke, the army was
astir : the bugles sounded the reveille on all
sides, and the long lines began to form.
About live o’clock the first gun rang on the
'front—another and another succeeding, as
our skirmishers pressed on, until the mus
ketry grew into the crackling, labored sound,
, which precedes the roar of real battle. The
troops seemed excited to frenzy by the sound.
It was the first tight in which the majority ot
them had ever been engaged, and they had,
as yet, seeii and siiti’eretl notliing to abate the
ardor with which the high Spirited young
fellows panted for battle. Every one who
witnessed the scene—the marshaling of the
Confederate army for attack on the morning
ot the tltli of April—must remember, more
distinctly than any men, their buoyancy and
'■ .spirited impatience to close with the enemy.
As each regiment formed upon the ground
where it had bivouacked, the voice oi its
commander might be heard as lie spoke high
words of-encouragement to his men, and it
would ring clearer as he- appealed to their
regimental pride, and bade them think of
the fame* faey niight win. Wheii the lines
began to advance, the wild cheers which
arose made the woods stir as it with a rush
of ii mighty wind. Nowhere was there any
thoughts of fear—everywhere were the evi
dences of impetuous aud determined valor.
For some distance the woods were open
and clear of undergrowth, aud the troops
passed through, preserving their array with
little difficulty ; but as the point where the
fight between the pickets hail commenced
was neared, the timber became dwarfed in
scrubby brush, and at some places dense
thickets impeded the advance. The ground,
too, grew rugged and difficult of passage iu
unbroken Hue. Frequent halts to reform and
UresB the ranks became necessary, and at such
times General Johnston’s maguificent battle
order was read to the regiments, and its
manly, heroic language was listened to. with
thn feeling it svas intended to evoke. The
grayi clear morning was, ere long, enliveued
with a radiant sunrise. As the great light
burst in full splendor above the horizon, send
ing brilliancy over the scene, many a man
thought of the great couqueror’g augury and
pointed in exultation and hope to the “Bun
of .Shiloh.” Brecttinridgq’a division went
into the tight last, and, ef course,' saw or
• heard a great deal of it,’ before becoming
itself actively engaged. Not tar off, on the
left and centre, the flight soon grew earnest,
as Hardee dashed resolutely on; the uneasy,
broken rattle of tbe skirmishers gave way to
the sustained volleys of the lines, and the
artillery joined in the clamor, while away on
the light the voices of tbe strife swelled
hoarser and angrier, like the growl of some
wounfied monster—Inrious and at bay. Hat-
dee# line carried all before it. - At tbe first
encampment it met not even tbe semblance
of a check. Following close and eager upon
the fleeiDg pickets, it burst upon tbe startled
. inmates uS they emerged, half, chul, troth
their tents, giving them no lime to form,
driving them in rapid panic, bayoneting the
dilatory—on through the camp swept to
gether, pursuers and pursued. But now tbe
alarm was thoroughly given, tbe “long. roll
nnil f tin fillirlo ll'ofu riillllflft thn Ppirll>rft)g ll
Uinu wab luoruu^ui)’ given, iuo iuug u*u
and tire bugle wete calling the Federate to
arms ; ail through their thick encampments
they wera hastily forming.
As Hardee, close upon the haunche3 of the
foe he had first started, broke iuto another
camp, a long line of steel and flame met him,
staggering, and, for a little while slopping his
advance. But his gallant corps was still too
fresh for an enemy, not yet recovered from
the enervating effects of surprise, to hold it
back long. For awhile it writhed and surged
before the stern barrier suddeuly erected in
its front,'and then, gathering itself; dashed
irresistibly forward- The enemy was beaten
back ; but ihe hardy Western men who filled
his rmiks—although raw, and for tbe first
time under fire—could not be forced to posi
tive flight. They had once formed, and at
this stage of the battle they could not be
routed. They had little discipline, but plen
ty of staunch courage.' Boon they turned for
another stand, and the Confederates were at
once upon them. Again they gave way, but
strewed the path of their stubborn retreat
with many a corpse in gray, as. well as iu
blue. At haM' past seven the first line began
to give signs of exbauttioo, and its march
over the rough ground while struggling with
the enemy had thinned and impaired Tt It
. was time for Bragg’s corps to come to the re
lief, and that superb line now moved up in
serried strength.
The first sign of slackening upon the part
of the Conlederales seemed to add vigor to
the enemy’s resistance. But bravely as they
-fought, they never recovered from the stun of
the surprise. Their half of the battle war
out of joint at the beginning, and it was
Intake part in the fight He had previously,
by order personally iiven by General John
ston, (who was all file time in tront) sent
one brigade to reinforce General Bragg’s
right, where tbe second line had been most
hotly engaged. He also sent, by order of
General Beauregard, one-brigade to the let.
Tbe fight at this time was joined all along
the line, and urtsd with greater fnry than at
any qther period of the day. Almost im
mediately alter parting with these two
brigades, General Polk bacame engaged with
the remainder of his corps. The enemy had
now disposed his entire force for resistance—
Hie men fought as if determined to not accept
defeat—and their stern, tenacious leader was
not the man to relinquish hope, although
his lines had lieen repeatedly brokeD, and
the ground was piled with his slain. The
corps of Hardee, Bragg and Polk were now
striving a beast, or mingled with each other.
In reading the reports^of the Confederate
Generate, frequent allusion will be found to
regiments and brigades fighting without
“head or orders.” One commander would
sometimes direct the movements of troops
belonging to another. At this phase of the
struggle the narrative should dwell more
upon “the biographies of the regiments than
the history of the battle.” But the wise ar
rangement of tbe lines, and the instructional
given subordinate commanders, insured har
monious action and the desired result.
Each brigade commander was ordered
(when he became disengaged) to seek aud at
tack the nearest enemy; .to press the flank
of every stubborn hostile force which his
neighbors could .not move, and, at all haz
ards, to press .forward. General Johnston
seemed to have adopted the spirit of the
motto, “When fighting in the dark, strike
out straight.” He more than once assumed
command of brigades which knew’ not wbnt
to do, and led them to where they could fight
with effect. Our successes were not won
without costly sacrifices, and the carnage was
lavish upon both sides.

One of the editors of this paper is endeav
oring to collect material tor a work under,
the above title, and has already made some
progress in that direction. * He requests all
late officers of that branch of the Confede
rate service, and others connected with it, as
well as officers of the United States Navy, to
send to the Mobile Tribune office whatever
information they possess on the snbject.
The service performed by the late Confede
rate navy was small compared with that dpne
by our glorious army; but when we consider
that the number ot men employed in the navy
did not exceed that of a full brigade of the
army; and that the sailor can do nothing
without the help of the shipwright, we shall
see that the deeds of our little navy are
Worthy of being put on record—worthy the
nation that rallied e» masse to the standards
of Lee, Johnston and Beauregard- By this
brigade of Southern seamen we saw accom
plished the bailies by the Merrimac, the Al
bemarle and the Tennessee ; the cruises of
the Alabama, the Florida, tbe Georgia, tbe
Shenandoah, etc., and the daring expeditions
of Wood, Pelot and “Taconey” Read. The
writer of this wishes to embody tbe history
of the whole in a brief and simple narrative.
