Again, we have been beaten. The battle at Pittsburg Landing was a horrible defeat for Southern arms. Johnston is dead. Beauregard and what remains of his army are in retreat. We were told that a great victory had been secured. They have lied to us. Our great and mighty leaders have lied and lied again to the people and to those of us who would protect them. May God smite them all.
It is a pity that they lie to our most courageous troops.
