What does lie mean by such an absurd declaration? The "American soldier" fought against terrible odds In the. late civil. war-on average of probably one to five throughout, and at Its close" the American forces hardly equalled ono to ten when they nuttily laid down . their arms and surrendered to the lino leum° hordes of Irish, Dufch, Van. lees and negromo romittanded by Grant and Ida Hubordiuntes. But Sherldatt's assumption that the. American soldier was better armed than the French or Prussian, Is Rimini, enough, when every body known that nearly half of the time they: depended on • captures from the Yankee hordes for their arms, and when they tinnily surrendered, it was found that a very large proportion of the artillery as well as small arms had boon taken from •the Invading hordes. It has °been suggested that Sheridan meant by the "American soldier" the haste that invaded Virginia; but tliat can. not be, for while every man in Lee's army we+ of the American Revolutionary stock, Grant's hordes were largely composed of the out. pourings of the Old.
