Early in April 1862/ G<mer?l Grant assembled hit> force# tit PlttH '>urg Landing on the Tennettuee Kl ver and awaited tUe arrival of JJuell who wuh inarching overland from Nashville. Kidney Johnson with di visions of Polk, Bragg, Hardee and Breckeuridge, inarched from Corinth to attack him, with Beauregard aoc ond in command. At daylight on April the tith the < onfederaten struck the enemy's out powtn and the battle was begun. With 39,000 moil they attacked *9,000 In a position of their own choosing. The attack was a sur prise. (irant said, "l did not be lieve Beauregard was such a fool as. to leave his huse of operations and attack us in ours." Hindinan's Mlsslsslpplan's found Prentiss'# men in camp eating their bi eakfast and captured a whole bri gade. The Federal flanks were turned and driven pell-mell. At one point they massed their troops and the desperate fighting over the position gave it the name of the "Hornet's Nest." Here be hind a dense thicket on the crest of a hill protected by defenses of logs and brush the flower of Grants ar my was gathered. As at Frederick# burg, an open field must be crossed to assail it. For five hours brigade after brigade braved the deadly per il of the assault. Hindman's divis ion was reduced to fragments; A. P. Stewart's regiments were decima ted; Gibson's Louisianians had suf fered a bloody repulso; and Cheat ham and Breckenridge had moved up. Then Sidney Johnston cried; "Men, we must give them the bay onet!! I will lead you." and the line charged with a mighty yell. A sheet of flamo from the Federal guns poured destruction into ? their midst. The line withered, but there was no pause. The crest was gain ed, the position taken and the en emy was in flight. At six o'clock the Federals had been driven back to the river. The victorious Con federates iiau possessed all of hie encampments but one, nearly all of his field artillery, thirty flags, three thousand prisoners and thousands of small munitions of war. At this Juncture nothing was neec* ed to complete annihilation of the Federal army but to j vigorously fol low up the victory. This was the situation: (J rant's army had been driven back from their positions in to a corner with the Tennessee Ri ver on one side, a creek and a swamp on the. other, and the victo rious Confederates in front. They I could not cross the river, the swamp was impassible and the Confedera aten Irreslstable. They were indeed "betwixt the devil and the deep sea " But, alas! General Johnston had been shot by a minieball as he sat ou h'H horse. The artery in his leg was cut, and because .no one was near to stop the bleeding, he quickly bled to death. ' The command devolved upon Gen eral Beaur sard. Beauregard was Bick, lying upon an ambulance cot in the rear. He had not approved of the attack in the morning, think ing too much time had been lost. Without, perhaps, appreciating1 the state of the battle, he gave orders to withdraw the troops. Fatal blun der! to snatch from the army the fruits of their victory just as they were about to pluck them. The army fell back and Grant was saved from ruin. There can be no doubt that if Sid ney Johnston had lived thru the day, the entire Federal army would have been captured and destroyed, and General Grant, in all probabili ty would never been heard of again, tout, as Touchstone says, "There's much virtue in IF." That night Generat Buell crossed the river and reinforced the Fed erals with 22,000 fresh men and ?the next d&y Beauregard retreated to Corinth. The Federals followed .with an army of 80,000, so slowly that it was not until "a month after the Battle of Shiloh that they ap peared before the lines at Corinth. Then, unwilling to hazard an at tack, Beauregard retreated to Tu pelo, Miss., and being too ill to at tend to the duties of the position, he transferred the command to Gen eral Bragg. Death of Mrs. Arnold Frlodhoim. The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Marlon Hey man, of this' city, were saddened on last Tuesday to hear of the death of Mrs. Heyman's mother, Mrs. Arnold Frledhelm, which occurred at her home In Rock Hill on Monday* April 1st, at 4 p. m.

'Twa? midnight, und (ho glimmering stura Kept ceaseles* V I k i 1 o'er the lafld Where Johnston slept, a peaceful hloop, Amidst his brave command, The tired soldiers, clad iu gray, Were plunged iu deepest slumber, Nor dreamed the Federals marched in force, An army twice their number. But hark! Who comes? the chul-> lenge rings? Out sharply thru the niKht; And roused the Bleeping soldiers, who-- ? Clasped bayonets to fight. "A messenger from Porter's staff To our Ceneral here commanding; Quick! lead lue to him, while 1 talk The Federals near Crump's landing.' Then Johnston, with exultant Joy, Ordered "to move" lifts corps; And mounted to his famous hay, He led the dauntless "Four;".' The "Four battalions," who in song And history will live, Moved swiftly, silently along, Their hearts' best blood to give. The sun, In gorgeous splendor rose, Imperial hues diffusing Of scarlet, gold and purple clouds, Night's sable robe infusing. "Fire Wateer" and his rider bold Still led the march to battle. Where stalwart soldier boys, Would die like butchered cattle. No rovellle broke on the air, It s cheery, morning call; But two armies swarmed the forest dense, And formed two iiwng walls. Down rode Johnson thru the flleu, With ranks Insignia glittering, And all unconsclouu of the day, Spring birds were gayly twittering. And as he passed with Jocund air, Amidst the soldiers cheering, To all he gave sotno word of hope, For the bloody battle Hearing. "Look along your guns, flro low! My lads bo worthy of your sires, Today we conquer or we dlo! Let oourage build her quenchless firen." "You fight upon your native heath? Tennesseeans, you will not quail ? Before the hottest fire of shell, Or leaden bullets' deadly trail." So thus, Home admonition kind To each state's troops he gave, And said "You'll never falter men. While the Stars and Bars wave!" Then In the clash of deadly strife, 'Midst roar of cannon and shell, Confederate gray and Federal blue, Met In conflict, worse than hell. Oh! the tides of blood, of ruby blood, ? That flowed from the fallen Blue, And the crimson flood, from our lwys in Cray, Drained from their staunch hearts true. It ran, a sinuous stream of red, Poured In a near-by pond; The rich, red blood, the host of the South, The pride of women, they held so pure.

One or two generations ago most farm animals roamed at Iiunpuj8 oathj om }nq y found that this did not pay. The barn yard fowls have been the last to feel the effects of business methods on tho farm but dt last they have to get In their place (In the poultry yard) and stay there. The farmer who reads the magazines knows that today ma ny a chicken farm of a few acres pays a bigger profit than a big farm did a few years ago.
