lS HIS REMARKS at the meeting of the
Grsni Army. Friday evening. Gen Ripley.
OF Rutland, alluded to the high esteem in
which Gen. Foster was hell by his superior
officers in the army. and told the following
story. which was told him by General Phil
Sheridan Ii was on the eve of one of
the battles in the Shenandoah Valley. At
q consultation of the generals Of Sheridan's
army, held after night fall, it was decided
that a certain position occupied By the
enemy, should. if possible. be taken that
night A corps commander thought a corps
would BE- needed to make a sure thing of it,
Another general thought a division might
accomplish it, 1t was finally decided that
it would not do to detach more than brig
sde for the task; and the old Vermont
Brigade was selected for the service. 1t
Was Commanded at the time by Col. Foster,
ard on being sent for he promptly under
tuos the duty, asking only that be might
have some good supports; for he didn't
want fellows shooting into his back when
he was RAINING away" The brigade took
the position, and it Is needless to say that
the running away" was all on the other
side, that night.
