BATTLE  OF  SHILOH,  OR  PITTSBURG  LANDING-COL01'TEL  JOHNSON  ENDEAVORING  TO  CAPTURE  A  CONl!'BDERATE  OFFICER, 

BU'r  GETS  ONLY  A  WIG. 

Colonel  A.  K.  Johnson  of  tho  Twenty-eighth  Illinois  Regiment  has,  during  the  late  war,  shared  in  the  dangers  of  many  a  daring  :i.dventnre.  On 
the  last  d~y of  the  action  at  Shiloh,  or  Pittsburg  Landing,  and  while  the  Confederates  were  .flying  in  confnsi?n  from. their  wo_rks,  tl_ue~  of. the  officers 
111  their  flight  passed  very  near  the  place  where  Colonel  Johnson  was  stationed.  The  colonel  rnstantly started  lll  pursuit.  Cornmg  w1thm  pistol  range, 
lie  tiled  at  the  nearest  of  his  flying  foes.  Tl11s  brought  tho  Confederate  officer  down  on  his  horse's  neck.  Colonel  Johnson,  believing  this  to  b~ a  feii:t 
lo  amid  a  second  shot,  determined  to  drag  hirn  from  his  saddle by  main  force.  Riding  up  to  his  side  for  this  purpose,  he  seized  him  by the  hair  of  his 
head,  bnt  to  his  astonishment  and  disgust  he  only  bronght  off  the  Confederate  major's  wig. 
Instantly recovering  his  headway,  he  again  started  for  the 
delrnquent,  but  his  pistol  had  done  its  work,  and  before  the  colonel  reached  him  his  lifeless  body had  fallen  from  the  saddle.

BATTERY  FIRED  THE  FIRST  A...' \D  LAST  SHOT. 

Captain  Knapp's  battery  deserved  great  credit  ;  it's  firing  was  admirable:  and  althongh  the  first  to  fire  a  shot,  iL  was  also  the  la~t. 

• 'everal  time~ 
did  thi  skillful  soldier  an<l  his  well-trained  men  check  the  adrnnce  of  the  enemy,  and  finally  compelled  him  to  retire.  The  skill  with  which  Captain 
Knapp  chose  his  position  was  very conspicuous,  and  was  much  commended  by  General  Banks.
