A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Enquirer says: Crook entered West
Point in lS4S, so that he is, l judge,
about fifty-one years old. He was put
out in California as soon as he gradu-
ated, and served at once against the
Indians, whom he has now known for
thirty years. He was wounded with
an arrow twenty-five years ago. The
rebellion called him away from eight
years of Indian encounters to the con-
test of civilized forces. and he began in
West Virginia, and was wounded there:
he was promoted for gallant services at
Antletam; then served in the Western
armies at the head of division of cav
airy; was at Chickamauga; broke up
the gaerrilas; went OF several raids;
served under Sheridan; anl was taken
prisoner 10y his subsequent brother-in-
law most inhospitably at Cumberland,
but was very soon released. He was IN
ali OF Sheridan's great battles, com
manded all the cavalry Of the Army OF
the Potomac for awhile, and was IN the
big pursuit to Appomattox. When l
saw him last he was long, lean man,
loosely put together, with a rather shy,
strange face, as If he had partly turn,d d

slipped into the hotel and captured the
two generals in the midst of their

the very point OF the pistol, and took
them to Richmond. Crook was soon re-

cession of his captor. He afterwards
