Allow me to digress a moment from Ihe Hue of thought I have In mind lo reinte the incident. Two neigh bors, both of whom wn unlive of Hi Kmc raid Isle (and It wns said were not par ticularly In sympn'hy with Ihe I'lilon pause), were in tlm bahlt of meeting after a battle bad been fought nnd talking over the result, rejoicing or lenling end. according a to what II bnd been. At tlm Hum of which I sieak there had been a al ttinl victory gained by the I'nlon forces and, a usual, one of Ihe good old neighbors called on the other and, after tho usual salutation, snid : "Well, Mr . another buttle Im been fought and Ih Confederate artnv ha been badly beaten; bul,"snid be,"Hiere wn noth ing fair about it, fur Hm Yankee attneked them hclore limy got Ihelr breastwork done." Now, my object In writing Ibl Is not r much lo give a description of Hint Prrible tlny's light, for Hist has been done by Hip historian long ago. but I have ev r felt Hint th credit of Hint day a battle wns never given lo Ihe man who did more lo bring about Hie hapjiy result than anyone who participated in Ilm great struggle. It will be remetnliered the attack was made In the early dawn, when nnr men were alum herlng In Hmir lent., ami Ihey had no op portunity lo form In line, or tn make any defense whatever. And Ilm result was a general slnmpedeof Ihe whole army, which lell hack in disorder and confusion. Now, something must be rlotm lo cnuse a reac tion of this stale of affairs, or the day waa beit; and, mark me. as I have before stated Ibis waa early morn and, "Sheridan W miles away," and, as a mailer nf course, lie rould not be of nny beoelit to that strug glim;, disorganised, routed army. A I laid in the start, it was no limit of bis that be wa not there. Fortunately for the Lnion forces, (fen. fleorge A. Ctnter fwbose tragic death we all Diment), commanding tbe Third Cavalry llivision.of which the writer had Ihe honor lo be a member, wn encamped on Ihe ex treme lelt, nml i he moment hi well train ed par esnghl Hie sound of musketry, and Ilm roar ot artillery, bis headquarter bugle rang out, ' Hoots and sn..le! ' which menus snddle up in has'e, and almod sim ultaneously came the orde a. (which every cavalryman will understand i: "I .pad Out Prepnreto Mount Mount Hy Four Forward, March! ' and in less lima than It takes to relate it, bis division, with drawn aahers. wer on the move. He deployed the division In front of the mass of s ragglers that were running pell Inell to the rear, nnd long before Sheridan arrived Hie oncoming rebel host wero checked, turned hack, their guns cnptrired, turned on them, ami they were falling hark through our cam (is, which they had so ruthlessly demolished in Hm morning, pur sued hy ihe 'I bird Hi vision, led hy its gal lant commander; and before tlm sun bad shel Its last rnys over that scene they were making a hasty, disorganized retreat far np the Valley. As the boys re '.. tied to their old quarters nnd had partaken of their tcanty meal of hardtack and coffee, and the shades of night had thrown ita sable mantl o'er Ihe Held, we see them gathering In groiiis around their glowing campfires; me- i in ri ks i near mem singing, "We are tent ing to-n'ght on the old camps round." I would not ignore Ihe valuable services of tlm different corps commanders and their subordinates; tbev all did noble work and deserve great credit. The poem entitled "Sheridan's Ride," or "Sheridan Twenty Miles Away." has been read and declaimed from the rostrum In al most every hamlet, not only In this country, hut in other countries, until the peope have come to believe that Sheridan' pres ence when he arrived on Hie Held Inspired tbe army with such indomitable prowess) that they put forth extra effort, and by so doing what appeared to he a total defeat wa turned into a glorious victory. Now, every soldier knows that it would be imponiblw for 'len. Sheridnn to have seen but a very mull per cent, of th rank and tile of thai army when he arrived, and 1 very much donht if one-half of one per rent, knew when be arrived or even knew that he wa absent, for officer of hi rank wer not mp. poed to go through th camp and inforin the soldiers that they wer going to ba absent. I would not detract nn itar from the crown of lien. Sheridan's mlli'ary glory er cast one reflection on bis ability a a com inander. f .r I know from my own personal knowledge of him that he wa one of ihe ablest comma, dors we bad in Ihe aarvio. and hi nme should be. and it Is, written high on the tablet of fame, and it will be handed down lo roming generationa by tha side of Grant, Sherman, Hancx:k,IUynolds, Meade, and others, a one of tbe crest military men of the period. In conclusion, I say, without fear of see eesf ul contradiction, that lien. Geo. A Cos ter did more and la entitled to mora credit for the final result of the battle of Cedar Creed I than i any man who waa engage in It. II. L. Mii.lkb, in National Tribune. rraetlcal lioaion.
