WAR MISCELLANY.

The Picket Guard.

[This beautiful-and it is to us, very beautiful-little

The Battle of Shiloh.

Military operations for the past month have been of a very important character, and on the 6th of April one of the severest battles of the war was fought at Pittsburg Landing. The particulars of this fight have been laid before the public through the columns of the weekly press, we therefore will not attempt a description of it. We must, however, take the liberty of saying a word in regard to one part of the affair. All accounts agree that our troops were taken by surprise-that our outposts were not sufficiently guarded, and that the usual precautions of an army in an enemy's country were so neglected, that the rebels were impressed with the idea, that a trap was laid for them, and that our pickets had been withdrawn in order to draw them into ambush. A want

poem was sent by a member of the 49th (N.Y.) Regiment of generalship was displayed in throwing an to his wife.-Buffalo Express.

"All quiet along the Potomac," they say,
"Except, now and then, a stray picket

Is shot as he walks on his beat to and fro,
By a rifleman hid in a thicket.

"Tis nothing-a private or two, now and then,
Will not count in the news of the battle;
Not an officer lost-only one of the men

Moaning out, all alone, the death rattle."

inferior force across a stream in the face of double the number of the foe, and still less excusable was it that that inferior force should be left unprotected by intrenchments or artillery. It has been stated, on good. authority, that Gen. Grant was at his quarters at Savanna, 12 miles from the scene of the fight, and that he was so overcome by liquor on the Saturday evening previous, that he was unable to attend to his duties. If such was the case, the public voice should demand that he be courtmartialed and cashiered. No general should be tolerated, who is guilty of such excess. Wisconsin has a special interest in this matter. By this criminal negligence on the part of the commanding general, our brave sons have been mercilessly slaughtered, and many a fireside has been desolated. The people of our State should demand an investigation into the causes which led to the surprise and sacrifice of our troops at Shiloh, and we hope the Legislature in June will deem it advisable to express the feelings of their constituents upon the subject. Considering the list of killed, wounded and missing, at the battle of Pittsburg Landing, of our Wisconsin regiments, will be of interest to the readers of the FARMER, many of whom have friends or relatives in the army, we have copied from the Wisconsin the list entire, to the exclusion of some of the usual departments of our paper.
