SHERIDAN

General Phil Sheridan passed thro'
Lancaster on Thursday last, on his
way to Texas. He came from Somcr-
set in carriage, accompanied by sew
eral friends and members of his Staff
and stopped long enough to take din
ner before leaving on the train. A
number of our citizens called to pay
their respects to the splendid little
Cavalry General, and large crowd
gathered around the Tallmadge House
and cheered him as he departed for
the train. The General is q short,
red-faced, squarely-built man, very
compactly and solidly constructed, and
looks like a man who would be quick
to take hold, and who would never let
60 after once closing his grip.
He will rank with Grant, Sherman,
and Thomas as one Of the four.greatest
Generals which the struggle has devel.
oped. His immortal ride from Win
chester to Cedar Creek, on tho 18th Of
October last, and the magic with which
he snatched victory from the jaws o.
defeat, established his reputation as q
brilliant and dashing officer, and made
that battle one of the most striking in
history. At the battle of Five Forks

6sserters and sneaks Returning.


We learn that the sneaks who were
drafted last fall and absconded are re.
turning to their homes since the close
of the war. They have been sneaking
back for some time, especially in Bernc
township. Some Of them have been
beyond the limits Of the State, and
others have been skulking and hiding
among the Hooking hills. If they
had a pleasant winter, they are wei,
coue to it.
On the 10th Of March last, Presi.
dent Lincoln isshed h proclamation
promising full pardon to all these
sneaks and towards, if they would
return within sixty days and serve ont
their time. In case they failed to do
this, they were to be considered as
having forfeited the rights of Ameri.
can citizens. Let every man OF them
be reported, and if the Government
does not punish them, let their neigh,
bors pour upon them the contempt
which they deserve.
