The Messiah, an epithet of Jesus. Paul, for the purpose of illustration, adopts that account instead of the statement in Numbers The emphatic repetition of the word "spiritual" before "drink" and "rock" reminds the reader that it is the spiritual and not the historic aspect of the fact which is present to St. The traditional account of the Rock was a more complete illustration of the abiding presence of God, which was the point that the Apostle here desires to bring forward. And that Rock was Christ. The Jews had become familiar with the thought of God as a Rock. Such seems to be the force of the statement and of the word "But" which emphatically introduces it. But though they thought it only a Rock, or applied the word poetically to Jehovah, that Rock was Christ. Pulpit Commentary Verse 4. The water from the smitten rock might Exodus These "waters in the wilderness" and "rivers in the desert" were a natural symbol of the grace of God Isaiah They drank; literally, they were drinking, implying a continuous gift. Of that spiritual Rock that followed them; rather, literally, of a spiritual following Rock. This is explained 1 as a mere figure of speech, in which the natural rock which Moses smote is left out of sight altogether; and 2 as meaning that not the rock, but the water from the rock, followed after them in their wanderings Deuteronomy 9: There can, however, be little or no doubt that St. Paul refers to the common Jewish Hagadah, that the actual material rock did follow the Israelites in their wanderings. The rabbis said that it was round, and rolled itself up like a swarm of bees, and that, when the tabernacle was pitched, this rock came and settled in its vestibule, and began to flow when the princes came to it and sang, "Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it" Numbers It does not, of course, follow from this allusion that St. Paul, or even the rabbis, believed their Hagadah in other than a metaphorical sense. The Jewish Hagadoth - legends and illustrations and inferences of an imaginative Oriental people - are not to be taken au pied de la lettre. Paul obviates the laying of any stress on the mere legend by the qualifying word, "a spiritual Rock. The writings of Philo, and the Alexandrian school of thought in general, had familiarized all Jewish readers with language of this kind. They were accustomed to see types of God, or of the Word Logos, in almost every incident of the deliverance from Egypt and the wanderings in the wilderness. They were, by a miracle, led through the Red Sea, where the pursuing Egyptians were drowned. It was to them a typical baptism. The manna on which they fed was a type of Christ crucified, the Bread which came down from heaven, which whoso eateth shall live for ever. Christ is the Rock on which the Christian church is built; and of the streams that issue therefrom, all believers drink, and are refreshed. It typified the sacred influences of the Holy Spirit, as given to believers through Christ. But let none presume upon their great privileges, or profession of the truth; these will not secure heavenly happiness. Page 1

2 Chapter 2 : Battle of Stones River - Wikipedia (4) That spiritual Rock that followed themthere was a Jewish tradition that the Rock--i.e., a fragment broken off from the rock smitten by Moses--followed the Israelites through their journey, and St. Paul, for the purpose of illustration, adopts that account instead of the statement in Numbers Union General Henry Wager Halleck. Halleck and his army lay siege to Corinth in May In May, General Beauregard, in an elaborate game of trickery and deception, evacuated Confederate soldiers from Corinth, rather than surrender. The May Confederate evacuation of Corinth and the burning of its warehouses and supplies. Confederate General Earl Van Dorn. The Confederates under General Van Dorn tried to recapture Corinth and retake the railroads in a bloody battle on October, The Union Army counterattacked and drove off the Confederates. Battle of Corinth, October, Confederate dead in front of Battery Robinette the morning after the October 4,, attack. The October battle left thousands of dead and wounded soldiers on each side. Corinth in the Civil War: As the Confederate general predicted, the South thus lost the Mississippi Valley and the war. The relatively new transportation technologies, steamboats and railroads, revolutionized the art of war. These two railroads were perhaps the most important in the Confederacy because they extended nearly the entire height and breadth of the South. The structural damage and the dead and wounded left behind had a tremendous effect on the local population. Many houses, churches, and hotels became hospitals and many inhabitants cared for the wounded. Corinth sprouted while the railroads were being finished in the late s and it quickly became a target when the war began. Indeed, Corinth became a favorite area of mobilization for the Confederate war effort. As the Union military drew nearer to Corinth, the Confederates added more men and materiel to defend it. By April, General Ulysses S. The Confederates lost the Battle of Shiloh and had to retreat to Corinth, bringing many of their wounded with them. Corinth became one vast hospital. The victorious and reinforced Union armies allowed the bloodied Southerners little respite, however, and followed the Confederates to Corinth, laying siege to the town in May The siege and battle By the end of May, the,man Union force occupied a semi-circle around the north and east portions of Corinth. Halleck were confident of victory. The Confederate army, under General P. Beauregard, knew they could not withstand the Union assault. In an elaborate game of trickery and deception, they retreated rather than surrender as many Confederate armies did after a siege, leaving the town and its citizens to the enemy on May 30, Despite an earlier order for all citizens to evacuate, many did not and they came under Union occupation. The Confederates were not willing to allow the enemy to keep Corinth and her railroads, however. In a bloody battle on October,, fighting raged all around Corinth to the north and west, and at times right into the very heart of downtown. Confederates penetrated several forts along the periphery of the town, including Battery Powell and Battery Robinett, and broke through the center all the way into downtown, where fighting raged around the railroad crossing and the nearby Tishomingo Hotel. Union soldiers retook their positions in a counterattack and drove off the Confederates, but at the cost of thousands of dead and wounded on each side. The buildings and citizens of Corinth, those who remained, were once again inundated with dead and wounded soldiers. Once the fighting ended, there were no more Confederate attempts to recapture the town. The Union military then used Corinth and her railroads in relative safety for much of the remainder of the war, shuttling troops from theater to theater. During this time, a large garrison held the town, and it also became a major supply center for the area. Commanded by white officers, the regiment served the remainder of the war at various locations, mostly doing garrison and guard duty. End of the war and memory By January, the strategic situation had changed so much that Corinth was no longer needed by the Union, so the Federal army abandoned the town. The contraband camp was moved to Memphis, Tennessee, and Confederate military units returned to the city. But years of war and occupation had taken its toll, and Corinth would not serve a major role for the remainder of the war. The one exception was that the Confederate Army of Tennessee camped there a short time in the winter of after its disastrous invasion of Tennessee and defeats at Franklin and Nashville. The story of Corinth in the Civil War, therefore, is a tale of fighting, occupation, and carnage. But it is also a story of courage and freedom. In order to mark and interpret these Civil War events, the Federal Page 2

3 government has taken several steps through the years. The twenty-acre Corinth National Cemetery, established in immediately after the war, contains the remains of nearly six thousand Union soldiers who fought at Corinth and in the surrounding area. There are also a few Confederates within its walls, but most Confederates are buried in long-lost mass graves around the town. In the ensuing years, local preservation efforts marked several sites related to the siege and battle, but it was in that the National Park Service opened an interpretive center in Corinth. It provides the visitor insight into the many different facets of war that occurred in this northeast Mississippi town that once sat at the crossroads of history. Posted October Allen, Stacy D.

There was a settlement on the coast near Lechaion which traded across the Corinthian Gulf; the site of Corinth itself was likely not heavily occupied again until around BC, when it is believed that the Dorians settled there. However, other myths suggest that it was founded by the goddess Ephyra, a daughter of the Titan Oceanus, thus the ancient name of the city also Ephyra. There is evidence that the city was destroyed around BC. According to myth, Sisyphus was the founder of a race of ancient kings at Corinth. It was also in Corinth that Jason, the leader of the Argonauts, abandoned Medea. During the Trojan War, as portrayed in the Iliad, the Corinthians participated under the leadership of Agamemnon. In a Corinthian myth recounted to Pausanias in the 2nd century AD, [5] Briareus, one of the Hecatonchires, was the arbitrator in a dispute between Poseidon and Helios, between the sea and the sun. His verdict was that the Isthmus of Corinth belonged to Poseidon and the acropolis of Corinth Acrocorinth belonged to Helios. Thus, Greeks of the Classical age accounted for the archaic cult of the sun-titan in the highest part of the site. The latter knew, so runs the legend, that Zeus had ravished Aegina, the daughter of Asopus, but refused to give information to the seeker before he had a spring given him on the Acrocorinthus. Bacchiadae Corinth had been a backwater in 8th-century Greece. In BC a traditional date, an aristocratic revolution ousted the Bacchiad kings, when the royal clan of Bacchiadae, numbering perhaps a couple of hundred adult males, took power from the last king Telestes. During Bacchiad rule from to BC, Corinth became a unified state. Large scale public buildings and monuments were constructed at this time. By BC, Corinth emerged as a highly advanced Greek city with at least 5, people. He became the lover of Diocles, the winner of the Olympic games. They both lived for the rest of their lives in Thebes. Cypselus Cypselus or Kypselos Greek: From â BC, he removed the Bacchiad aristocracy from power and ruled for three decades. He built temples to Apollo and Poseidon in BC. Apollo Temple has been built in Doric style on the ruins of earlier temple, being a good example of peripteral temple, supported by 38 columns, 7 of which are still in place. Archeological site located close to Temple of Apollo. Archeological site of Ancient Theater first built in Corinth in 5th c. The Theater could seat around spectators. Aristotle reports that "Cypselus of Corinth had made a vow that if he became master of the city, he would offer to Zeus the entire property of the Corinthians. Accordingly, he commanded them to make a return of their possessions. Corinth was also one of the nine Greek sponsor-cities to found the colony of Naukratis in Ancient Egypt, founded to accommodate the increasing trade volume between the Greek world and pharaonic Egypt during the reign of Pharaoh Psammetichus I of the 26th dynasty. Greek city-states tended to overthrow their traditional hereditary priest-kings, with increased wealth and more complicated trade relations and social structures. Corinth led the way as the richest archaic polis. Often the tyrants calmed the populace by upholding existing laws and customs and strict conservatism in cult practices. A cult of personality naturally substituted for the divine right of the former legitimate royal house, as it did in Renaissance Italy. Temple of Apollo, Ancient Corinth. He was a member of the Bacchiad kin and usurped the power in archaic matriarchal right of his mother. However, the newborn smiled at each of the men sent to kill him, and none of them could bear to strike the blow. Labda then hid the baby in a chest, [17] and the men could not find him once they had composed themselves and returned to kill him. Compare the infancy of Perseus. The ivory chest of Cypselus was richly worked and adorned with gold. It was a votive offering at Olympia, where Pausanias gave it a minute description in his 2nd century AD travel guide. Corinth had been involved in wars with Argos and Corcyra, and the Corinthians Page 4

5 were unhappy with their rulers. Cypselus was polemarch at the time around BC, the archon in charge of the military, and he used his influence with the soldiers to expel the king. He also expelled his other enemies, but allowed them to set up colonies in northwestern Greece. He also increased trade with the colonies in Italy and Sicily. He was a popular ruler and, unlike many later tyrants, he did not need a bodyguard and died a natural death. He ruled for thirty years and was succeeded as tyrant by his son Periander in BC. Periander brought Corcyra to order in BC. Periander was considered one of the Seven Wise Men of Greece. He was the first to attempt to cut across the Isthmus to create a seaway between the Corinthian and the Saronic Gulfs. He abandoned the venture due to the extreme technical difficulties that he met, but he created the Diolkos instead a stone-built overland ramp. Periander killed his wife Melissa. His son Lycophron found out and shunned him, and Periander exiled the son to Corcyra. The Corcyreans heard about this and killed Lycophron to keep away Periander. Corinth allied with Sparta. Corinth formed a conciliatory alliance with Sparta against Argos. Corinth mediated between Athens and Thebes. Athenians and Corinthians entreated Spartans not to harm Athens by restoring the tyrant. Corinth fought the first naval battle on record against the Hellenic city of Corcyra. Pegasus with Koppa or Qoppa beneath. Athena wearing Corinthian helmet. Corinthian order columns in ancient Corinth. In classical times, Corinth rivaled Athens and Thebes in wealth, based on the Isthmian traffic and trade. Until the mid-6th century, Corinth was a major exporter of black-figure pottery to city-states around the Greek world, later losing their market to Athenian artisans. In classical times and earlier, Corinth had a temple of Aphrodite, the goddess of love, employing some thousand hetairas temple prostitutes see also Temple prostitution in Corinth. The city was renowned for these temple prostitutes, who served the wealthy merchants and the powerful officials who frequented the city. Lais, the most famous hetaira, was said to charge tremendous fees for her extraordinary favours. During this era, Corinthians developed the Corinthian order, the third main style of classical architecture after the Doric and the Ionic. The city had two main ports: Street in ancient Corinth. During the years â BC, the Conference at the Isthmus of Corinth following conferences at Sparta established the Hellenic League, which allied under the Spartans to fight the war against Persia. The city was a major participant in the Persian Wars, sending soldiers to defend Thermopylae [29] and supplying forty warships for the Battle of Salamis under Adeimantos and 5, hoplites with their characteristic Corinthian helmets [ citation needed ] in the following Battle of Plataea. The Greeks obtained the surrender of Theban collaborators with the Persians. Pausanias took them to Corinth where they were put to death. Three Syracusan generals went to Corinth seeking allies against Athenian invasion. They also sent a group to Lacedaemon to rouse Spartan assistance. After a convincing speech from the Athenian renegade Alcibiades, the Spartans agreed to send troops to aid the Sicilians. This failed when Corinth, Phlius and Epidaurus allied with Boeotia. Demosthenes recounts how Athens had fought the Spartans in a great battle near Corinth. The city decided not to harbor the defeated Athenian troops, but instead sent heralds to the Spartans. But the Corinthian heralds opened their gates to the defeated Athenians and saved them. He noted the importance of a citizen army as opposed to a mercenary force, citing the mercenaries of Corinth who fought alongside citizens and defeated the Spartans. Philip was named hegemon of the League. During the Hellenistic period, Corinth, like many other Greece cities, never quite had autonomy. Under the successors of Alexander the Great, Greece was contested ground, and Corinth was occasionally the battleground for contests between the Antigonids, based in Macedonia, and other Hellenistic powers. However, the city was recaptured by Demetrius in BC. The Macedonian rule was short-lived. In BC, Aratus of Sicyon, using a surprise attack, captured the fortress of Acrocorinth and convinced the citizenship to join the Achaean League. Thanks to an alliance agreement with Aratus, the Macedonians recovered Corinth once again in BC; but, after the Roman intervention in BC, the city was permanently brought into the Achaean League. Under the leadership of Philopoemen, the Achaeans went on to take control of the entire Peloponnesus and made Corinth the capital of their confederation. Page 5

December 31, [ edit ] December 31, 8: At dawn on December 31, about 6 a. McCown, before many in Union Brig. This was the third major battle, after Fort Donelson and Shiloh, in which an early morning attack caught a Union army by surprise. The 10, Confederates who massed on their left attacked in one massive wave. These two divisions swept all resistance aside. Several artillery batteries were captured without having time to fire a shot. His neighboring Union division to the left, under Brig. Davis, was able to hold only briefly. As Rosecrans raced across the battlefield directing units, seeming ubiquitous to his men, his uniform was covered with blood from his friend and chief of staff, Col. Withers and Benjamin F. What saved the Union from total destruction that morning was the foresight of Maj. They had captured 28 guns and over 3, Union soldiers. Two Confederate blunders aided Rosecrans. He refused to send two brigades as reinforcements across the river to aid the main attack on the left. When Bragg ordered him to attack to his frontâ so that some use could be made of his corpsâ Breckinridge moved forward and was embarrassed to find out that there were no Union troops opposing him. At about that time, Bragg received a false report that a strong Union force was moving south along the Lebanon Turnpike in his direction. He canceled his orders that Breckinridge send reinforcements across the river, which diluted the effectiveness of the main attack. The Union troops regrouped and held the Nashville Pike, supported by reinforcements and massed artillery. Repeated attacks on the left flank of the Union line were repulsed by Col. Hascall sent the 3rd Kentucky to the Round Forest as reinforcements. He declared that it had to be held, "even if it cost the last man we had. The Union line was stabilized by the strong leadership of Rosecrans and by the rallying of the divisions under Johnson and Davis. The new line was roughly perpendicular to the original line, in a small half oval with its back to the river. The attack failed a second time. Thomas responded with a limited counterattack that cleared his front. Unless the Union army collapsed at the first onslaught, it would be pushed back into a tighter and stronger defensive position as the battle continued, while the Confederate forces would gradually lose momentum, become disorganized, and grow weaker. Like a snowball, the Union would pick up strength from the debris of battle if they retreated in good order. But the Confederates would inevitably unwind like a ball of string as they advanced. Some of his generals felt that the Union army had been defeated and recommended a retreat before they were entirely cut off. Rosecrans opposed this view and was strongly supported by Thomas and Crittenden. Although he had suffered 9, casualties, he was convinced that the large number of captured Union soldiers meant that Rosecrans had lost considerably more. The Confederate army began digging in, facing the Union line. Bragg sent a telegram to Richmond before he went to bed: We occupy [the] whole field and shall follow him. God has granted us a happy New Year. Polk launched two probes of the Union line, one against Thomas, the other against Sheridan, to little effect. Convoys of wounded had to travel under heavy escort to be protected from the cavalry, and Wheeler interpreted these movements as preparations for a retreat, and he reported such to Bragg. Buoyed by his sense that he had won the battle, Bragg was content to wait for Rosecrans to retreat. Breckinridge initially protested that the assault would be suicidal but eventually agreed and attacked with determination. The Confederate attack stalled, having suffered over 1, casualties in less than an hour. A Union division under the command of James S. Breckinridge was devastated by the disaster. As he rode among the survivors, he cried out repeatedly, "My poor Orphans! Late that evening, Thomas attacked the center of the Confederate line with two regiments in reaction to constant enemy sharpshooting against troops in his division under Lovell H. Thomas drove the Confederates from their entrenchments, taking about 30 prisoners. Despite this action, the main battle is generally accepted to have ended on January 2. Beginning at 10 p. Rosecrans occupied Murfreesboro on January 5, but made no attempt to pursue Bragg. He had, of course, sound reasons for withdrawing from Murfreesboro. His principal subordinates advised him to retreat. But his decision to retreat allowed his enemies to charge that once again Bragg had lost his nerve. Chapter 5 : MDOC Area Locations Page 6
