SHERIDAN's CHARGER.
Death of the Horse that Sheri- dan Rode TO Winchester,
 Twenty Miles Away

The famous charger that carried Gen. Sheridan to Winchester, "twen- ty miles away" died in his masters stable, on Michigan avenue, at an carly hour yesterday morning. The part played by this animal in one of the bloodjest battles of the rebellion has beeh respectfully recognized in b"oks of history and in patriotic verse. Read, tbe poet by few strokes of his pen, lifted the beast into fame almost as enduring as that which has been earned by its rider.
 Winchester" the cognomen by which the horse has been known since the war, was jet black In color, with a small white star almost in the cen- ter of the forehead-a sort of lucky star" He stood sixteen and half hands high, and was trim built and active and proud spirited. When Sheridan took command of the Sec ond Michigan regiment in 1862, Cap tain Campbell presented him with the animal, which was then spoken of as three-year old crit. His owner named him Rienzai after the Mississ- ippi town of that name. He carried his master through the battles of Stone river, Chickamauga, Mission Ridge, and score of other engage ments in the Tennessee campaign. He pranced around among the mules and ordinary steeds at the battles of Opaquin, Fishers Mill, Cedar Creek, Petersburg, and twenty or more other combats In fact Winchester" faced the guns in ninety engagements, and, with a single exception, never finch. ed or turned tail to any enemy. In the battle of Stone river a solid shot passed under him, grazing the skin of his belly. He became fractious and manageable, the general being obliged to dismount. The appearance of the animal on the field without a rider was the foundation for the re- port that his owner had been killed. The horse was wounded by pieces of shell in the battle of Opaquin and Trevillian, but not severely in either instance.
 History describes the ride to Win chester as furious and headlong race. Gen. Sheridan said last evening that he had ridden the horse at a full gallop, at times breaking into run. Two staff officers. Generals Forsyth and O'Keefe, and the escort of twenty cavalry men, rode with him, but the horse Winchester showed more spirit and bottom" than any of the other animals. The general said that the actual distance ridden was sixteen miles, the poet Read, havsng used about four miles of 'poetical license" He spoke fcelingly of his old black steed, saying he had been uneXcelIed in speed, cO-rage, docility and noble- ness of nature. The general said he had not been upon Winchester" back since the war closed. He has required his hostler to give him the tenderest attention. The horse has suffered more or less from rheumat- ism for several years, and probably caused his death. The skin of old Winchester" is to be prepared and preserved in the best art of the taxi dermist.

Bob Ingersoll is in favor of infia. tion, but it must be the right kind. He says: " 1 am in favor of the infla. ton produced by industry. I am in favor of the country being inflated with our corn, with wheat, good houses, books, pictures, and plenty of labor for everybody. I'm in favor of being inflated with gold and silver, but 1 do not believe in the imitation of promises, expectation and specula. tion."

THE Southern Pacific RAILROAD

Has already been of inesti- mable benefit to Arizona. It has reduced the cost of transportation very mate rially, and lessened the time of receiving goods at least one half, besides add ing greatly to the comfort and facility of travelling. With this record in the past, the prospect of a speedy extension of the same into the Territory is very encouraging for the future, as it will add very much to the prosperity and wealth of the whole coun- try.
