Stuart,s Last Fight.

J. Esten Cooke, all ex-Confe3erate
officer, tells how General Stuart met bis
death from Sheridan's men at the battle
of Yellow Tavern. Mr.. Cooke says:
The battle had evidently reached the
turning point, and Stuart saw the des.
perate character of his situation. 1t
was difficult to use his artillery in such
melee of friend and foe, and bis left
wing was soon in utter disorder. The
Federal attack had at last succeeded
IN breaking it to pieces; the men were
scattering in every direction, and see
ing Major Breathcd near him, Stuart
shouted:
Bteathed | take command of all the
mounted men in the road, anl hold it
against whatever coues. III this road is
lost we ale gone j.
Such an order was precisely suited to
the tastes of man like Breathed, l
was Intimately acquainted with him,
and n yer knew q human being who
took euca sincere delight in desL crate
lighting. At S;uart's order Breathe d
saluted, and shouting to the men to fol-
lJw him charged tho Federal column,
apparently careless whether he was
followed or not. He was Immediately
surrounded. and hot sabei fight took
place between himself and his swarm
of enemies. A saber blow nearly cut
him out of the saddle, and he received
pistol shot in his side, but lie cut
down one Federal officer. killed another
with his revolver, and made his way
out, his face streaming with blood. Al
his monent the artillery opened, but +
determined charge was made on the
guns, and all the pieces were captured
but one. The driver of this piece
lashed his horses and rushed the gu,
off toward tho Chick ahominy, followed
py the cannoneers, cursing and shout
in "For Gods sake, boys, let's &c
| back; they've got as far hs Breathed =
| It would have heen better for the gu1
to have been captured AS it wal
