THE BATTLE OF SHILOK. This celebrated battle was fought on Sunday and Mqnday, the 6th and 7th of Apri], 1862. It took its name frqpr a little log church, known as Shiloh church. The scene of the engagement is a thickly wooded, though broken, country, reaching back frcoa the bluffs at Pittsburg Landing from two to three miles. Grant and his staff were breakfasting at Savannah when he first heard the fire of the enemy's attack. Grant's horse having slipped and fallen on his master's leg on the 4th, at the time of the battle and for some days after Grant was unable to walk Without the aid of crutches. His boot hod been cut from his foot. Hearing the firing he boarded a transport and started for the front, arriving there at 8 o'clock. The historic battle was already on. Sherman, Prentiss, MtCleraand, Hurlburt and W. H. Wallace, with 83,000 men, were there. The Coofederate force, according to Badeau, was a little over 40,000. There was hard fighting, small panics, retreating and other signs of dismay among the Federal troops, and renewed vigor on the part of theenemy. Nelson and Lewis Wallace were coming with re-en-forcements, but the battle' was going awry. GrAnt was everywhere on the field, constantly under fire. In his own account of it he says:

Three of the five divisions engaged the first day at Shiloh were entirely raw, and many of them had o&ly received their arms on the way from their states to the field. Many of them had arrived but a day or two before, aud were hardly able to load their muakets acoordlng to the manual. Their officers were equally Ignorant ef their duties. Under these circumstances, it is not astonishing that many of the regiments broke at the first fire. Iu two easee, aa I now remember, the colonels led their regiments from the field on first hearing the whistle of the enemy'a bullets. Tn these cases the colonels sue constitutional cowards, unfit for any military position. But not so lh» oflleem and men led out of danger by them. Better troops never went upon a battlefield than many of these oflfcers and ma afterward proved themselves be, who fled, panto stricken, at the tot whittle of bullets aa* shell at Shiloh.

General Albert Sidney Johnston, Confederate commander, was killed on the first day of Shiloh's battle. Jefferson Davis had early said

him that he regarded his ser

vice to the Confederacy as worth more than the accession of an army of 10,000 men. Night fell and found the fight unfinished. The gunboats continued to fling shells into the Confederate lines, the woods caught fire, and only a merciful rain saved the wounded from being burned alive. Buell and Gen. Lew Wallaoe arrived and the old lines were reformed. Grant visited each division commander after dark, directing their positions and ordering an attack at early d%wn. At last, returning to the landing, he made his headquarters under, a tree, and lay down in the rain to' rest. The pain iu his swollen ankle and the drenching rain made him restless, and after midnight he moved to the log house on the hank. Iliis was in use as a hospital, filled with the wounded and dying groaning with anguish. "The sight," says Grant, "was more unendurable than encountering the rebel fire, and I returned to my tree in the rain."

The neat day' the battle went on until Beauregard and his forces beat a final retreat, Grant having lost over 12,000 men. Sherman has said that he never afterwards saw such terrible fighting. Grant writes of it: 'V

Shiloh was the most severe battle fought at the West during the war. and but few In the East equaled it for hard, determined fighting. I saw an open field In our possession on the second day, over whioh the Confederates had made repeated charges the day before, so covered with dead that It would have been possible to walk across the clearing, in any direction, stepping on dead bodies, without afoot touching the ground. On one part, which had evidently not been plowed for several years, bushes had grown np, some to tbo height of eight or ten feet There was not one of these left standing unpleroed by' bullets. The smaller ones were all cut down. Contrary to all my experience up to that tiipe, and to the experience of the army I was then commanding, we were on the defensive.

This battle convinced Grant that the war would be prolonged, and developed his views as to the conduct of it Armies! and nbt strongholds should besubdued or destroyed, he thought. He believed, too, that it! would be an economy of blood to spend it rapidly in a vigorous campaign.

•V.J s3

MISTREATED BY HALllECK. Immediately following the battl$ of Shiloh rumors, flooded the country prejudicial io Grant, "and in all operations in the theater of war be was ignored for the next two months. His situation was regarded by the army as one of disgrace, ajid was doubtless the most disagreeable period in his entire career.. He teils the story in the following words:

Shortly after the battle of Shiloh had been fought Ckn. Halleck moved his headquarters to Pittsburg Landing, and assumed command of.the troops4n the field. Although'next to him. in rank, and nominally in comtn*nd of my own district and army, I Was Ignored as much as if 1 had been at the most distant point of territory within my jurisdiction and although I was In command of all the troops at Shiloh. Iwas not permitted to«ee one of the reports of Gdn. BUell or his subordinates in that battle until thpy were published by the' war department long after the event. In consequence I never myself mad* a full report of the engagement.

Itn. He went to Washington, and Grant wtc left in command of the army of the Tennessee. a littla more indenendent than when Hal* took had been present Che sua. He directed the movements in the of Iuka and Corinth ™tii the troops arrived in presence of the enemy, though he was eight miles from the fight at Iuka and nearly forty from Corinth.

Merit, whan unaccompanied by outward display, is always slow to be recognised, and Grant in his military career was no inception to this universal stupidity. His aimplA manners and direct speech were mistaken for the expression of a commonplace mind by officers above and below him. TTia were considered accidents, n.nH neither his judgment nor ability was even guessed at. Gen. Badeau, in his "Life of Grant," says: "It is impossible to.understand the early history of tile war without taking it into account that neither the ^government fior its important commanders gave Grant credit for intellectual ability or military genius. His other qualities were also rated low. Because he was patient some thought it impossible to provoke him, and because of his Mtlmnw it was supposed that he was stolid. In battle or in campaigning he did not seem to care or consider so much what the enemy were doing as what he himself meant to do and this trait, to enthusiastic and even brilliant soldiers, appeared inexplicable. If he possessed acquirements he appeared unconscious

tj»cm he made no allusion to the schools, •lever hesitated to transgress their rules when the occasion seemed to him

demand

it. So be neither won men's hearts by blandishments nor affected fhsir imaginations by brilliancy of behavior nor did he -seem profound to those who are impressed only by a display of learning."

WITHOUT SUPPLIES.

On the 4th of Koveniber Grant seised Is Grange and Grand Junction. On the 14th his cavalry entered Holly Springs, and drove the enemy south of the Tallahatchie. On the 20th the enemy's cavalry dashed into Holly Springs, 38 miles in Grant's rear, and captured the garrison, with all its stores. A Confederate raider cut the railroad to Columbus at several points, severing Grant's only tins of communication with the north and with parts of his own command. Holly Springs was captured while the troops were in their beds, for which the v«nni»iwn»g officer of the post was dismissed the service. For over a week Grant had no communication with the north, and for two weeks no supplies. Then waa learned the secret of how an army may live without supplies, aseCul afterwards to Giant when in the rear of Vteksbuig and to Sherman in his marches through Georgia and the OaroHnea When the cittaens, mostly •w, cane to his headquarters to see how he hove the kas

Holly Springe, and asked

BEHIND VIGKSBUR&

While Grant was moving en Vicksborg, cutting canals, gathering snppliee and watching the enemy's movements, the country and the government had grown impatient. His slowness was criticised old rumors about his personal character took wings, his soldiers were said to be rapidly dying, and his removal was urged. Bqt Itncoln said:

Grant's march .through the wilderness abogt Vicluburg is historic, and his sue ceases therein were due to his. ooholusion that rules of strategy laid down in hooks .should be violated' when common sense dictated. In 90 days he had marched more- thanv200 miles, beaten two armies in five battles, captured 27 heavy cannon and 61 piecee of field artillery, taken over 6,000 prisoners and killed and wounded as many more. He had, says Badeau, forced the evacuation of Grand Gulf, seized the capital of the state, destroyed the railroads at Jackson for 30 miles and invested the principsd stronghold of the Confederates on the Mississippi. It has been compared with the campaign of Napoleon at Ulm and to the first 15 days of Napoleon in Italy in 1796.

THE SIEGE OF VICKSBURG.

GRANT AT

VICKSBCRO.

Grant began the Storming of Vicksburg on the 19tb of May, gaining some ground, and on the 22d a general assault began. All day long columns of men moved against the enemy's stronghold, only to be met by a staggering fire, under which they recoiled to the shelter of the hillsides, which were thick with the dead and dying. The Confederates, behind their parapets, suffered little in comparison. This assault is said to have been unparalleled in the history of modern times. Three thousand Federal soldiers were killed. The assault on Vicksburg having failed Grant determined on a Siege. Then begun those lorurdavs of bombatdmejit»whenthehemvied

She asked him tauntingly if he ever expected to get into Vicksburg. "Certainly," he answered. "But when#1 "I cannot tell exactly when I shall the town, but I mean to stay here till I do, if it takes me thirty years."

At last, on the 3d of July, Pemberton AHIT^ Grant's terms for the capitulation of the city, and the white flag floated from the headquarters of the besieged. Grant's answer was: "The unconditional surrender of the city Mid garrison." The two generals conferred, but left the final decision till later. Grant then returned to headquarters, and for the first time in his life held what might be called a Council of war. He finally permitted the Confederates to march out on parole, and these terms were accepted. On the 4th of July the crarrison of Vicksburg marched out oft1'" so long afid hrnvwlv defended andTst&ckecT tDoir arms in tront of theif conquerors. This event was really the DIOW which broke the backbone of the rebellion. It struggled on nearly two years longjr, but it never recovered its confidence. xhL surrender put into Grant's hands the largest capture of men and materials made in the war.

A NEW COMMAND.

In October Grant reoeived on order for a new command—the military division of the Mississippi, including all the territory between the Alleghanies and the Missisnppi river, excepting what was occupied by Banks in Louisiana the three departments of the Tennessee, the Cumber land and the Ohio wars all Grant's.

MISSIONARY RIDGE.

After the memorable campaign of Chiokamauffa, and the sufCnring of the army of the Cumberland it involved, came the battles of Chattanooga, Missionary Bidge and Lookout Mountain—" Hooker's fight Above the Clouds." On the SXU of November, the fog having lifted, ths Confederate pickets on Missionary Ridge looked down on the plain and saw a moving army, with its bayonets glancing in the son. This was Gen. Thomas' battalions. So exact were their movements that the enemy mistook it for a parade, tfll the skirmishers sent a rain of buUeto on the Confederate pickets, and the heavy guns began to wake the echoes. The oannon on Misrionary Bidge and the artillery of Fart Wood shook the earth until nightfall, and the two armies, slept among hi! la. The nest day fee battle wen Lookout Mountain from the

Jefferson DavlB had named Vksksburg ths Gibraltar of Amerioa. Nature ae well as art had made the Confederate fortifications there well-nigh impregnable. Grant's plan was to move his army bqlow Viosshurg, ev^n ttmfcting 'pflf tf* oommunicatloiis—hazarding everything in tito certain hope of victory. Defeat meant total annihilation. On the nigtyt of April lit throe steamers and ten barges, loaded with rations and forage, were ran past the batteries, convoyed by seven of Admiral Porter's ironclads. The steamers were manned by volunteer crews from the ranks. Porter led the way on the Benton and Grant remained OD one of the transports, where he could watch the operations, though shot and shell fell all around him. To dispel the favoring darkness the Confederates fired the houses along both sides of the shoe* until the Mississippi was light as day. Every transport was struok the Henry Clay was burned to the water's edge, and for two hours and

Sherman renewed his attack on Missionary Bidge, and under Grant's orders other forcee moved after him, and the men steadily moved up the hillside under the enemy's fire till they gained possession, chasing whole regiments of the enemy down the slope and/ turning his guns upon himself. The battle of. Chattanooga is oonsidered the grandest •fought west of -the Alleghanies. It covered thirteen miles, and Grant's men numbered 60,000, the Confederate force? 45,000, witlx -every advantage of position^ —r-^*

MADE LIEUTENANT GENERAL. In view of the stubbornness of the Confed* eraey, on the 26th of February, 1864, a bill passed both houses of congress reviving the grade of lieutenant general in the armies of the United States, with the idea of conferring this rank upon Grant, thus giving him command jof all the military forces of the country, and on the 2d of March the senate confirmed "the most important appointment ever made tn America." Washington and Scott' were the only men who had ever held this rank.

Thia, as well as every other promotion he ever received, was made not onjy without solicitation on his part, but without his knowledge and consent. He wee ordered to Washington, and reoeived his commission directly from .the hands of -the president, who had neyei before seen him. '.

"STAND FAST, STAND SURE." When Grant assumed command of the Splendid army of the Potomac, Gen. Oglesby asked him:: ",How do you like the looks of itf 'This fa a very fine army," answered Chant, "and I am told these men have fought

with great courage and bravery. I think, -^re

1L.1

however, that the army of tiie Potomac ha* never fought its battles through."

That was the secret of its success when itt last general took hold. Others had more Hmli and originality, but none had the iron hang-on of Grant. With him there was nc hnJtj and no looking backward. He said once that it had never for a single moment occurred. to him that he would not capture Richmond. Wherever he set his foot down, he set it to stay. As Lincoln expressed it, in quaint words so lilfft Grant's own, he simply '.'kept pegging away." There is something well-nigh terrible fti the persistence with which he followed up the final campaign before Richmond. He rained blow after Mow for one year without giving the enemy time to take breath. The prospect Was gloomy beyond description the north was at times disheartened. Civilians and warriors on paper clamored for a change of generals: the silent man stood unmoved as a granile pillar through it all with his face toward Richmond. Once Early's forces threatened Washington. The hair of the inhabitants of that city of boarding houses and office holders stood on end with affright. Grant, down before Petersburg, was telegraphed for in hot haste to come with troops and defend the capital. Lincoln himself added his personal request to the message. Grant calmly telegraphed back: "I think, it would have a bad effect for me to leave here," and .did*not budge a peg. Grant's personal motto, it may be remarked, is that of the Scottish clan Grant: "Stand fast, stand .firm, stand silre."

So he stood that last year of the war, in the Wilderness, at Spotsylvania, at Cold Harbor, at Petersburg, and finally at Appomattox. The army of the Potomac at hurt "fought its battles through."

Grant never, asked advice. He obtained all the information possible from all sources, and listened without opening his'mouth except to ask questions. Then he went silently and made out his orders. .He made up his mind, never was flurried, and never lost his head.

After the battles of Chattanooga, once at Nashville he sat in his tent in silence puffing his cigar. Gens. Meigs and W. F. Smith lb were with him. Smith was pacing the floor, wrapped in thought.

Bon. Heig*. ith was so absorbed that he did not heaff* the question. "Balt^y is studying strategy,n said Meiga to Grant, with a laugh.

The chief took Us oigar from his lips and said, quite seriously: "I dont believe in strategy in the popular understanding of the term. I use it to get up just as close to the enemy as practicable with as little loss as possible." "And what then?" asked Meigs. "Then? Then up, guards, and at 'em!n replied Grant, with a touch of unusual spirit for him. ... *.
