A Sergeant of an Indiana regiment, named Gardner, who was taken prisoner at the battle of Shiloh, gives the following account of an interview with Beauregard:

After his capture Mr. Gardner, was immediately moved off to Corinth, where he remained until 9 o'clock the next evening, and was taken to General Beauregard who asked him what he came there for. He answered. "To uphold the Union." General Beauregard said:-
God d--n the Union: there is none.-- You have come down here to fight gentlemen, You are a set of d--d Yan- kee robbers. murderers and thieves.-- You come here to rob and murder the women and children I have a notion to hang you." Gardner answered: "They have tried to shoot me," and pointed to his wounded arm, and Beauregard answered "it is a pity it was not your d--d head" An artillery officer there interposed, begging the general not to abuse him, as he was a prisoner, when the general answered: "He has no better sense than to come to our soil and fight us. Why did he not stay at home? He did not want me there." Gardner said to him, "General, it is of no use for me to reply to you. You have me in your power. I am a prisoner of war. If you were taken prisoner by our men you would not be treated in this manner. He replied that he never would be taken prisoner.
