How Phil Sheridan Disobeyed Orders
indianapolis Evening News.


The recent gathering of military men
in our city, and the recital of reminis-
cences of the war which gave occasion
for the organization Of the army Of the
Tennessee, recalls an incident in the
military experience of Gen. Phil Sheri-
dan which is not generally known, and
which has doubtless been forgotten by
many VINO were personally cognizant Of
it ut the time, driven from their minds
by the contemplation of the glorious
achievement which have made the
name OF Sheridan loved and honored
throughout the land. At the beginning
of the war he was captain in the reg
ular army, having graduated at West
point in 1858. In the fall Of 1861 he
was appointed quartermaster Of the
army of the southwest, under command
of Gen. Curtis, with headquarters at
Springfield, Mo. An expedition to Ar
kansas was organized and Gen. Curtis
headed it in person. The march of the
army was harassed by attacks from
bushwhackers and guerrillas, and there
was great need of horses TO meet and
repulse these classes Of combatants.
Gen. Curtis dispatched courier from
Timber Holiows to Sheridan with in
structions to forward Immediately ali
the horses he could procure; if there
was no money on hand with which to
purchase them to 60 out and press them
into the service. In those early days
the war was not carried into Africa, so
to speak, rs i'll later times, and Sheridan
refused to run any risks by such an ir-
regular proceeding, and sent word back
to Curtis that he woald send no horses
for which he had no receipts, and, hav-
ing no funds on hand, he could not pro-
cure them. Gen. Curtis was furious ut
the presumption of the quartermaster,
and ordered the contumacious officer TO
forward his sword to the general and re-
port to Gen. Halleck, in command Of
the department, at st. Louis, under ar
rest Sheridan left Springfield in pur-
suance Of these ORDERS. and that was the
last heard Of him in the army of the
southwest. In the spring Of 1862 lie
appeared again as colonel in the Second
Michigan Cavalry. after which time his
progress was rapid and brilliant, and
known to the whole country. How he
got out Of the trouble with Gen. Curtis
the archives Of the war department
may be able to tell, but it is not known
tothose who were associated with him
in Missouri: The stirring events of tina.
period left but little time to look up the
records Of individuals, however famous.
The episode was the making Of Philip,
though. Had he not disobeyed orders
he might and would in all probability
have served through the war rising no
higher than 1 brigade Or division quar-
termaster.
