than ever. Among the arrivals was
Licutcnant-Gcncral p. III. Sheridan,
whose coming created great cuthusi-
aSm, and who was escorted to head
quarters by force of six hundred
men, with martial music and flvjng
colorS and welcomed at camp "DicE
Yates" with ringing cheers and 4 salute
OF fifty guns. TO avert any accident
ut the sham battle in the afternoon
General Shcrcr issued positive orders
that safe plan of firing and charging
be followed. The grand event of the
meeting was the storming in the after
noon Of the so-callcd "Rcbcl Fort
Wadc,' over which the Confederate
emblem had been waving for three
days. General II. j. Henderson COM

the fort. The attack was made bv
Generals Mann, Swain, billiard and
Torrance, with five pieces Of | e.vy ord
nance. General Mann ordered Il gen
eral advance at four p. m. Generals

enough to wish the marriage not to
come Off" The lady blushcd and the
