with passing oouriera. infantry, artillery and
cavalry, that seem to have sp*rang from the earth,
so quickly have they responded to the alarm, are
moving in detachments to and fro, and the heavy
tramp of men and bea.sts, the music of the regi

all tell of the .sleeping mon.ster aroused from his
lair.
And your own feelings swell within you until
they course like a torrent. Are the enemy ad-

the slow procession of the wounded, you saw

conquer or be con.juertd' These and ten thou

nature, and you lay upon a sleepless couch to
await the a[iprouch ol daylight and its develop
ments
Morning cume.-, however, and with it all the
peace ol its predecfL-sor. The alarm has proven
lal.se. The day passes until tho afterno)n is
reached. Again heavy cannonading is heard
upon our right, and this tiuie so distinctly that
the bar.iting shells sound like the crack ol a ritte
The wiudow' rattle and the ground trembles with
the ominous roar. Again there is commotion in
the camps. The men are at theii arms awaiting
order-. Skirmi.-hing is going ou near our en
trenchments. 'lore wounded come by, and re
turning cavalry report the enemy in force on all
sides Night appears. The firing ceases and
the town is tilled with a thousand wild rumors
From these you subtract this essence. Thti en#
luy advanced on the right close to our fortifica
tions, drove in our pickets and opened with ar
tillery. I’heir skirmi.-hers came within sight ot
the works, shot a Confederate soldier only two
hundred yards distant, and then fell back betore
us. No especial damage is done on either side,
and no success gaired by the Federals.

c.imannhip.—At the battle of Shiloh,•
it is estimated, there were discharged on the Con
federate side, one milhon balls from small arms.
The olhoial rej.oit ol'the I'edoral loss in killed
and woundt 1 is Pi.UUU. Allov. ing that the true
number was much greater, say 2U,00U, still it
leaves shots thrown away by our soldiers.
That is, our boys succeeded owe time out of fifty
shot.s hi doing some execution. I'orty-nine misses
and one hiti Now wouldn’t it be hotter to save
the powilcr and lead, do less shooting and mor*
execution?
It is known that most guns overshot. The aim
therefore should not be above the knee. B> tter
to shoot at the feet than tail of eff.'ct. An er.ciny
wounded is better thau an enemy kdlod. since to
bear off and care for the woundVd abstracts one
or more effective men from the lines. Don’t
shoot wildly. You might as well not shoot at all
11 you are confronted by one liundrel thousand
foes, a discharge of balls again.st their
lines, judioiously and coolly directed, within pro-
I per range, would decide the battle. \ ou go out
I to fight and t> be fought. It is a mercy to win
the battle and end the war. The more execution
you do, the more you have effected towards put
ting an end to tJiis strife, and winning peace,
