We give below extracts from a let?
ter written by Col. John P. Pryor to
tho Memphis Argus, after an ex?
amination of the battlo-flel J of (Shiloh :
The (Shiloh) church building hus
boen torn down; only a few of the
old oaken logs, ont of which it was
built, and the conglomerate saud and
gravel blocks of stone used as foun?
dation-stones, are left to mark tl ie
spot where the Methodists of that
neighborhood, before the battle, were
wont to worship. It was taken to
pieces, I understand, by the Federal
soldiery, long encamped around it
after tho fight, and all the available
timber about it carried off to the
North by enterprising Yankees, to
be manufactured into Shiloh walking
canes, and other saleable "memen?
toes" and "trophies" of the great
i struggle.
* * * *
I reached the South-western boun
gr^' dary of the battle-field precisely in
the centre of the line upon which the
?Confederates formed before going
-into battle. That line was formed
Pupon ihe crest of a ridge running
from the North-west to the South?
east-from the direction of Purdy
stretching away toward Hamburg.
This ridge overlooks and commands
almost the entire field. It is seven
or eight miles long, and from its
?rest, advancing to the North-east,
i, tb e. descent is nowhere very precipi
? tous, and a few hundred yards from
the summit of the ridge tho ground
becomes almost level, and spread? out
into a vast plain three or four milos
wide and from four to fivo miles long.
On this grand and gently descending
plateau, with the dip toward the
river, the principal part of what we
\ call the 1 'Battle of Shiloh" was fought.
)On either "wing," and all along the
/river line, the ground -is more or less
pr?cipitons. Covered, as nearly the
whole field now is, with a soft, thick
carpet of dark green #russ and clover,
I think it is tho most beautiful battle?
field I have os er seen. True, there
k ave a great many unsightly dead trees,
L and still more unsightly and sadly
WJP neglected graves, (of which more
anon,) but the ground, for miles on
miles in all directions, is nearly level,
and is now of that deep emerald hue
which generally only a well advanced
wheat field presents at this early sea?
son.
I saw but little of the field on
Wednesday evening, but on yester?
day, having obtained two guides, it
Ni the persons of Mr. McMnllen, oi
Hamburg, and Mr. Hargroves, whe
resides on the field, 1 spent sever,
or eight hours in visiting all the point?
of greatest interest, and in noting
particularly the places where the figh
L - had been hardest, and where then
I had been a pretence of burying vas
r numbers of brave men-particularly
Confederates-who fell on the 6t)
and 7th of April, 1862. T wrote yoi
some weeks ago from the battle-iieh
?f Corinth, giving an account of tin
.si- condition of the Confederate ant
Federal dead on that field, lt wa:
bad enough in all conscience, as jot
and all your readers will remember
but for shameful neglect, ami dis
honor to the gallant men who per
ished in what they believed to be !
L just and noble cause, it was nothiu)
compared to what I saw yesterda;
and the day be-foro on the field o
bf Shiloh. The war, during its progress
. presented many horrible as this!
saw where hundreds of Confedei-at
kv dead had been rooted out of thei
Bk shallow coverings-I cannot call ther
jp* graves--their flesh eaten by the hogs
?B" anti their l?mes lying scattered an
broken and trampled upon in ever
f direction. It transcends anythiu
k recorded in civilized history; it a
?a most transcends belief. I was toi
by some of the peoplo residing nea
?Mr that the hogs fed so long in this wa
JK upon carrion that the pork of th
K. neighborhood became so ?ffensivei
V could not be eaten ; ami, to this da]
some (if the ladies informed mo the
>^roa no? touch any hog's meal kill ed"
Lu that vicinity;; t?iey felt or were
if raid that they wonKl 1? guilty of
cannibalism to ?lo'so.
In .one place, ..about 300 vards
South of thc church, ua the Bhoa
place, I .saw where a largo nmnl>er
(supposed to t>e 150, ut Jeast,A ot I
Confederates hatl been tumbled into
a gully and covered up with a thin j
layer of dirt, and this they called i
burial!" "The washing rains, and the
hogs together, have exposed the
bones here most sadly. Many of the
bon?? are broken und shattered to
fiMces, evidently since they were un?
earthed; but whether done by brnte
or dm in ali hogs could not be fle
terfnined. Active, tierv war in pro?
gress, hos in> such sad aral horrible
pict uro us this. Lt was enough, if
seen by all the world, to steel all
hearts against war forever, and insure
perpetual peaeo. For, who would
ever think of going into battle if they
could suppose for one moment that ]
their friends and brethren would ?
leave their mortal remains, their J
names mid memories, to such awful J
neglect as this?
All the other scattered graves of
the Confederates, where they were
covered up by ones, twos, threes,
and so on, up to dozens in a place,
over the whole Held, ure in the same
miserable condition. In but one
place did 1 see a Confederate grave
that had not been rooted up by the
hogs. That waa ou the extreme left
where, as Arr. Hargroves informed
nie, there ?re near 300 of each side
buried in parallel trendies. Gene?
rally, the Federal dead, as at Corinth,
were buried at tho proper depth, and
generally with hoad and foot-boards,
inscribed with the names, companies, '
regiments, Ac. Many of those hoad
and foot-boards, however, have been
destroyed or defaced by the annual
tires which burn off the grass and
leaves of thoso woods. ? saw but
one Federal burial trench where tho
hogs had upturned the bones, and
that was but slightly. They are
generally buried too deep for that,
and in some places their graves ure
enclosed with fences made of logs or ?
rails. j
At the Confederate gully-grave, :
and ut all the Confederate graves--!
or, rather, places where the Confede- ?
rate dead were slightly covered up cm
the ground where they fell-skulls,
thigh, hip und leg bones, ribs, vcr- |
tebrse, etc., etc., lie scattered around
in all directions. lu ono place, 1
saw where two Confederates had been
convered up in the niiddlo of the
road; in another, where one had been
pitched into a deep rut, or hole,
made by wagon wheels at the road?
side, and so covered. In still another,
I saw where two Confederates had
been placed between two standing
trees, and then covered up. And in
still other places, they were thrown
by tho side of logs (ns ai Corinth]
and only half covered tip. In all
these places the bones were more or
less exposed. Generally, the skulls
had rolled oft' to a few feet; but in
many places they had disappeared
altogether, leaving one lo the horri?
ble suspicion that they had been car?
ried oft" to lu- made into drinking
cups, or sold to some anatomical
museum! A little boy, living in the
neighborhood, says hu saw a Federal
soldier, a short time ago, luke the
teeth from one of the skulls at the
gully-grave and out them in his
pocket to carry home-as trophies, I
suppose:
Mr. Hargroves relates the following
incident: The party engaged in bury?
ing tho dead on the road-side, not far
from the church, a few da\s alter the
battle, covered up two Confederates
a few feet from the road, each with
one hand sticking out above tho
ground. They then wrote something
on two slips of paper about "rights
in tho Territories," and placed one
between the stiffened lingers of each
of tho outstretched hands. To com?
plete the mournful, but not very
magnanimous, picture of what they
doubtless regarded as a just and
? witty retribution, they wrote on a
j board, ' 'We have got our lights in thc
Territories at last!" and stuck it in
the ground between them, so that it
could be read by nil passers-by. What
do you think of that? To my mind
it is bat another evidence of the ter?
rible heartlessness and cruelty which
war iu" ays engenders. "Man's inhu?
manity to man" was a proverb long
before Milton meditated his song sub
lime.
Beyond, and to "the right of tin
church about a half a mile, and be?
tween it and the place where Prenti*
surrendered, and about one mile nm
a half this side of Pittsburg Landing.
! there are still remaining all the sign;
I of the heaviest infantry conflict evei
I witnessed this side of Gettysburg
j Spotsylvania Court House or the WU
; dem ess.
j About a quarter lo the South-east
! there was a terrible mixed infantry
and artillery fight, ?us the scars on tin
frees still attest; but, at the place firs
mentioned, and lasting for two ful
miles, from the South-east to tin
North-west, judging by the marks ol
the bushes and undergrowth, whiel
here stands, or stood, very thick, th?
struggle seems to have been betweei
infantry forces alone. For hundred
of acres nearly all Lhe undergrowtl
was cut off, or split into ribbons, i
little over breast high, by Mini
balls, ami the trees, large and small
are literally filled with sliot holes t<
the height of twenty feet. 1 am no
sufficiently acquainted with the his
tory of the battle to determine whn
troops operated in this part of th
field, bul am cf opinion that Gen
, -' i mm , i i i1 j
lircckiurii ige commanded ii division
Iwr?, hud't?iat (Jen. Gladden received
his. death wound-at or near the close
o? the deadly struggle, which raged
for so many nqiirs ti rough these gory
thickets, aud . along this vast plain,
then, sploshed and streaming with the
blooHi of so many brave men, but
Rifir green with all tho fresh garniture
of spring.
A false friend is bice the shadow on
a sun-dial, which appears in fine
weather, but vanishes at theapproacb
of a cloud.
