His second administration was quit to as
able and popular as his fret, and at its
termination was highly eulOgized, not only
by the Republican party. but by many

caissOnS and dl5Ordered trOopS-the artll
lery now poured terrific fire, creating a
wild panic that speedily spread throughout
the entire rebel army. Guns, teams, every
and Sheridan's victorious battaliOns, gain
ing momentum each moment, picked up
prisoners by the hundred and cannon by
the score. The rebel army was completely
pulverized, and only darkness saved it from
total capture or humiliation. Practically,
there was nothing left for Sheridan to fight,
and excepting two or three cavalry Skin
mishes the war in the valley was ended.
PROMOTED TO BROADER GENERAL.
Colonel Hayes was now promoted to
Brigadier General "for gallant and merito-
rious service in the battles of Winchester,
Fishers Hill and Cedar Creek" to take
rank from October 10, 1864, and was brevet
Major General "tor gallant and distin-
guished services during the campaigns of
1864 in West Virginia, and particularly in
the battles Of Fishers Hill and Cedar
Creek" Prior to these promotions he had
two years, and he was then commanding a
division. In the course Of his arduous ser
vices four horses had been shot under him,
and he had been wounded four times. His
advancement was never sought, and did
not come Until long after it had been fully
earned.
THE SPLENDID SPIRIT OF THE MAN.
OF his military character, one who served
with him in nearly all his campaigns has
written as follows:
''As an officer he was noted not only for
strict LOYALTY to his superiors, but for gal
lantry in battle and alacrity in the dis
charge Of every duty. however perilous or
arduOus. The first suggestion OF his nomi-
nation for Governor was strongly dis
favored by the General, who put a quietus
upon the movement in that direction as
soon as he heard of it. He generally pre-
ferred to remain in the military service as
long as the rebellion lasted, and no political
promotion was any temptation for him to
leave it while the triumph of the national
arms was incomplete During the war he
was nominated for Congress by the Repu3-
licans of the second district, and directly
atterward received q letter importuning

lately, losing largely in killed and wounded,
among the former being their commanding
officer, General Jenkins. The struggle at
the guns was desperate, the rebel artillery
men endeavoring to load their pieces when
the assailants were not over ten PAGES dis
tant. First to reach the guns was Private
Kosht, of the Twenty-third, boy OF eight
cen, who sprang forward from the ranks,
and with shout thrust his cap into the
muzzle of one of the captured cannon. rus

which the enemy had set great store by. and
which Colonel Hayes men recognized as
one that had confronted them in nearly
every fight in that part OF the country
There being T. dispute as to who captured
it, the bow Kosht reached his hand into the
muzz.e and drew out his cap, thereby prov
ing indisputably the title OF his regiment:
Dublin Station, eight miles beyond Cloyd
mountain, was captured the following night,
and q considerable quantity Of Confederate
stores destroyed. The railway was then
broken eight miles eastward to the New
River bridge, which was burned. General
Crook now turned his column north ward
BY way of Meadow Bridge and Salt Pond
mountain, traversing one of the widest and
toughest sections of the Allegheny noun
tain region. The continuous rains bad made
the roads almost impossible, and had SO
swollen the streams that both teams and
troops were sometimes lost in passing the
fords. While passing the mountains the
column ran across the rebel force that had
fought at Cloyd mountain, and captured
the artillery that had been saved by TIE
enemy at that engagement.
HIS SERVICES UNDER GENERAL CROOK.

hausting marches the command arrived at

Nearly a month elapsed, during which
Early thoroughly reorganized and largely
increased his forces. Sheridan, after raid
ing the valley with his cavalry, had with
drawn to a point near Cedar creek, Fix
miles below Fishers Hill, and had gone on
a flying trip to Washington, devOlving the
command upon his senior corps commander,
General Wright. The troops occupied high
ground. Crooks Corps being in advance,
Emorys Nineteenth on the right and about
a mile in the rear of Crooks front line, and
Wright's Sixth on the right Of Emory's, the
extreme right being covered by division
of cavalry. Crooks forces comprised two
divisions, Hayes and Thorburn's, number
ing about 1000 men in all, Hayes line being
continuous of that Of the Nineteenth Corps,
and ThOrburn occupying position about
mile in advance of Hayes, covered
by slight psrapet. The nearest
force of national cavalry on the
left was at Fort Royal, eight miles distant.
General Crook had applied for division Of
this force to cover his exposed left and an
adjacent ford of the Shenandoah, and his
request had been granted, but by some mis-
chance the cavalry did not take it's position
promptly as ordered. Early. aware of the
absence of the cavalry, resolved to sfeal
out of his forest covert at Fishers Hill,
pass by the Cedar Creek position, then tall
upon the Union flank and rear. He began
this movement during the night of October
Is, which, fortunately for him, happened to
be very foggy and dark. Sending one d!vis-
ion to the west by way of diversion, his
main column, leaving the turnpike, ad-
vanced to the right by unfrequented paths
along the side of the mountain. holding on
by bushes where the men conld scarcely
otherwise have kept their feet, and twice
fording the north fork of the Shenandoah.
The cavalry which Crook fully believed to
be in position on his flank would, had it
really been there, have covered the princi-
pal one of these fords and rendered this
movement impossible. In it's absence.
Early succeeded in completely passing
and an hour before dawn his troops
stood in the positions assigned them, wait

Of Septembe was visited by Genera!
Grant, who states in his report that he

were necessary in" Accordingly
Grant gave them, and Sheridan went in.
The battle of Opequan, or Winchester, as it
is usually called, took place on the nine
teenth Of September. Early at this time
held the west bank of Opeaaan creek, Oc-
cupying a series of strong heights over

tions. Sheridan proposed to pass into the

entered it by crooked course between

hand, to permit the deployment to proceed
to q certain extent, then Overwhelm Sherl-
dams left, cut his army in two. and beat it
in detail.
BRAVE CONDUCT IN TILL BATTLE OF WIN
CHESTER.
The battle opened at 10 A. M, when the
Sixth Corps emerged from the ravine, foi-
lowed by the Nineteenth, and, taking
ward against Early's right. Crook 3 COM
mand, comprising Duvars and ThOburn's
divisions, now debouched into the valley,
and passing behind the other two corps,
passed rapidly to the right, intending to
turn the enemy's left. and charge him in
the flank and rear. Ricketts, division OF
the Sixth Corps and Growers OF the Nine
tenth leading the attack on the left,
charged furiously over the broken ground,
driving the enemy from his sheltered po-
sition from be hind rocks and thick woods,
and carrying his first line. Early, in turn,
seeing everything was at stake, hurled two
fresh divisions upon Grover and Ricketts,.
forcing them back in great disorder. At
this moment the battle seemed lost, but the

the nomination"
The comments of the press upon the re-
gu! su't indicate the state OF popular feeling.
The Cincinnati Enquirer (Democratic) said.
General Hayes is a clever gentleman.
and his previous administrations we're
marked by fairness, evenness, and upright
ness; and his personal character and Sigh
repnte will make his candidacy tormida
ble."
The Democracy renominated Governor
Allen, and threw into The contest the best
talent and effort at their command. Gen.
eral Hayes canvassed the entire State, max
ing speeches in nearly every county. often
places in single day. For over two full
months he was kept thus employed. The
warmth and energy of the canvass was sui
ficiently attested by the fact that it brought
out the largest vote by over 63 900 ever cast
in Ohio. The Republicans elected their en-
tire State ticket and the L. gislature, the
majority for General Hayes being 5j:4.
This victory had an electritying effect upon
the Republicans throughout the country,
and particularly in Pennsylvania, where a
contest was still pending. General Hayes
was invited to take part in the canvass in
that State, and accepted. He addressed
the people at numerous points, with great
effect.
Pennsylvania, largely Influenced by
ONO, was carried by tho Republic ans. and
the party being thus victorious in these
two powerful States, its assurances of sue
cess in the national canvass of 1876 we're
vastly augmented. Current discussion of
the nomination Of Governor Hayes for the
presidency began about this time, and
friend having written to him inquiring as
to his views on that subj ect, he replied IN
the following characteristic letter:
DEAR SIR-Con tented with the past, L
am not in state of mind about the future.
1t is for us to act well in the present.
George E. Pugh used to say, There is mo-
political hereafter" Sincerely yours,
r. B. HAYES.
