PINK. SHERIDAN.

Gallant Phil. Sheridan -. has
made himself truly historical. From
the day when his heroic division say
ed the army Of Rosecrans from de-
fea, through the rccreancy of Nc
Cook at Stone River, by FIVE hours
desperate fighting against superior
enemy pressing on both TANKS and
in front, down through the battle OF
Chicamauga and Mission Ridge, the
"onderful Shenandoah campaign and
the brilliant operations around Rich-
mond to the New Orleans riots and
his more recent brave acts for the
right, he has ever exhibited the high
est military capacity and this most ex-
al.ed patriotism. Ii was our good
fortune to serve in a division which
for fifteen months was under the COM
mand Of Phil. Sheridan, and we had
ioany opportunities for studying his
peculiar charactistics as an officer and
as man. He is a commander by
nature. lie did apparently by intu-
ition and without effort what would
cost ordinary commanders great ex-
ertion. While apparently doing
nothing, he was accomplishing every
thing lie took in o situation at a
glance, and his solution of problem
was almost instantaneous. When 9TH
or commanders were excited aud per-
picked, he was cool and ready for act
ion or direction. His men confded
in and loved him. Indeed their pet
names Of" Little Phil" and the ." Lit
tie Corporal " were the strongest evil
,lences OF ,hei. affection for their
commander. He had one character
istic, which, although not uncommon
among our generals, was greatly to
be deplored. He feouh swear worse
than the army in Flanders. whenever
there was Just cause for a luifle Of
temper, and we must say that his
oa;hs were Of peculiarly unique and
original character in fact, Of sucl
poudcrous and crushing force that M
one ever wished TO incur his displcas
ure a second time. We must how
ever, DO him the justice 10 say .ha
