Gettysburg, aud. un July 1863 WIS
breveted II major In the United States
regular army, and was given y cavalry
command in tue Army of the Cumberland,
in which he served during the campaign
of May nd June, 1864, and was present
IN all the notable engagements of that
campaign. He served also under Sheridan
during bis famous campaign in the
Shenandoah valley, where he distinguished
himself in the numerous brilliant dashes
by the division under his command. On
May 28th, 1864 he was breveted lientenant-
colonel Of the United States army, and on
March 18th. 1865, brigadier-genera and
major-general for meritorious services at
Cedar Greek and throughout the whole
var. In 1868 he married Miss Mollie,
OILY daughter of Daniel Curry, a wealthy
farmer of Milford, and at one time State
Senator The wedding was on scale of
unusual magnifioence, and was attended
by Generals Meade, Wilson and Webb,
and other celebrities, who came from
Philadelphia on u special train.
Throughout his whole life General
Torbert had been an earnest and con-
mstent Republican and, in 1868, was
nominated for Congress by the Republi-
CANS OF this State, but was defeated by his
Democratic competitor, Benjamip Il.
Biegs, by 1926 majority. In 1871 Gen.
Torbert was appointed Consul General to
San Salvador and efterward served a short
time in Havana. He WAS afterward ap-
pointed by President Grant, Consul Gen.
eral to Paris. During his residence
abroad his wife, a very handsome woman
of tall and queen'y dignity, was always a
prominent and much admired member of
the highest circles of diplomatic society.
In 1873, General Torbert was removed
from office to make room for Lucius FAIR
child, of Wisconsin. He then retired to
his home at Milford, where he spent his
leisure in superintending the cultivation
of his large and productive farms In the
beginning of the present campaign he was
prominently spoken of as probable
Republican candidate for the Copgres
sional nomination lately conferred upon
Judge Houston. He WAS man of splen-
did physique and fine appearance and was
widely known aud very popular.
On the Tuesday preceding the sailing of
the Vera Crus, Gen. Torhert left for New
York, to take passage for the city Of
Mexico on that vessel. He went thither
as the representative of number of
capitalists, to secure II land grant from the
Mexican government for the building of
a railroad 2G0 miles in length, from the
Gulf OF Mexico to the Pacific, for the
construction of which the funds had been
subscribed
