The effect upon the government ard
the country was electric. The first
| rumors of disaster were painful and
wide spread On the heels of these
came Sheridan's dispatch announcing
the. reverse and its retrieval, and Civ
ing faint hint of the splendid prizes
-artil cry for an army, transportation,
ammunition, small arms in profu-
sion that could scarcely be estimated.
General Grant telegraphed from his
salute of a hundred guns from each of
the armies here fired in honor
Sheridan's late victory Turning
what bid fair to be disaster into glo-
rious victory stamps Sheridan, whatI
always thought him, one of the ablest
of Generals" The Secretary of War
endorsed and published this to the
world. The resignation of G General
Mcclellan soon made vacant Major
Generalship in the regular army, and
to this highest prize in his profession
Sheridan was promoted. 9a22,H 81
It was giddy hight to which our
modest little red faced Captain, who
thought he might yet be major, had
risen but his head was not turned.
He did not even give vent to his ex-
ultation In congratulations to his
army. Every one realized our sue
cess"-so he wrote soon after, in his
official neutrality-suspicious. orders
were unnecessary, and every officer
and man was made to understand that
when a victory was gained it was not
more than their duty, nor less than
their country expected from her gal
liant sons" But the country could at
least make its own congratulations.
The name of Cavalry Sheridan was in
all mouths. His exploits became the
favorite theme of speakers, the inspi-
ration of poets, the argument against
all who held to the Chicago declara-
ton that the war was failure. Sher-
man had not fastened the gaze of the
nation by-shis grander operations;
Grant had still to give Richmond as
proof of his title to the power with
which he was vested; and for the time
Sheridan was the most popular of cur
generals. -9oDbni d9Ds 19ffo o. i'9rHg9
Such was Sheridan's example in
war; we are now enjoying his example
in peace which threatens to culmf-
nate in war as bloody and as bitter.
Shall we profit by it as Grant and his
army did, or shall we reject it, and
give the victory to the friends and as
sociates of the rebels he defeated?
