Knoxville (Tennessee, United States) (search for this): article 17
The latest. The Western mail for a week past has brought us nothing from any point beyond Knoxville, and we are entirely dependent upon our Southern exchanges for intelligence from the army of the Mississippi. We continue our summary from papers received last evening. Southern account of the Second day's fight at Shiloh. The following graphic account of the second day's fight is from the army correspondent of the Mobile Register, who also furnished the interesting narrative of Sunday's battle which we copied recently from the Savannah Republican: Battle-field of Shiloh, (Near the Tennessee River,) Monday Night, April 7th, 1862. 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 reinforced during the night, and with the exception of short breathing spells, it raged with tremendous violence and fury until night separated the combatants. The apprehensions expressed in my letter of last night ha

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 Joshua to command the sun to stand still in the heavenswere at hand, he hold his position on the river bank until 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 morning, and to capture them.--This division succeeded, however, in forming a junction with the forces at Pittsburg, and at 8 o'clock this morning the Federals, thus reinforced, moved out from the river 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 r

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 of the day in the order of their occurrencnt that he had received large accessions to his ranks, and that he had fresh troops and heavy odds to against. But the Confederates nobly their duty, and the attack on the left also repulsed. The enemy again retired, but only for a time; for Buell's forces had come up, and the attack was renewed at along our lines, on the right, centre, and in Simultaneously with this, an attempt was made to turn both our wings. The battle now raged with indescribable fury. I have never heard or ima

or imagined anything like the roar of the artillery, and the incessant rattle of the small arms. The thunder base of the one, and the sharp, tenor of the other, intermingled with shrieks of bursting shells and the whi- cleaving rifled cannon balls, were grand beyond description. It was the awful Hy- Battle, rolling upward to the skies and literally shaking the earth beneath. It was solemn anthem, the notes of which we traced in blood, and uttered from throats, that might have satisfied Mars himself. The Confederates stood their ground age, the furious onset, and for the fourth times enemy was compelled to retire. "As meets the rock a thousand waves — So Inistall met Lochlin." It was now one o'clock. Our men were greatly exhausted; they had fought eighteen hours, and withal had slept but little, h- been engaged much of the preceding night searching out and taking care of the wounded.
