A cowARDLY SURGEON.

About this time an attempt was made by the
Tebs to capture a boat, used for supplies, at
Springfield Landing. Captain Cohn, of the
Sixth and Lieutenant Maxwell, of the Seventh
were aboard at the time, and rallied what few
men were scattered about, which did not ex-
ceed twenty, and repulsed the rebs, who num-
bered sixty men, driving them oil. Com
pany E, of the Sixth, while on picket at the
crossing of the Jackson and Clinton roads, four
and half miles in rear of Port Hudson, was
also attacked by superior force of the enemy.
Sergeant Fayer was in command of the COM
pany at the time, and so placed his men as to
hold the enemy in check while he sent cou-
rier to camp, who returned with reinforce
ments, and the enemy were driven off. One
battalion of the Fourteenth New York cavalry
at this time was stationed as picket on cross
road and railroad. They had just received
some clothing and three boxes of Colts army
revolvers when 100 of the enemy attacked
| them, capturing several prisoners and nearly
all their horses, their arms, clothing, and four
wagons About mile from this post was q
hospital, in which were some 800 sick and
| wounded, with two companies of infantry act
| ing as guard, six ambulances, quantity of
! hospital stores, and 100 stands of arms, all in
| charge of Surgeon -, who surrendered the
| whole to Confederate officer and four men,
| In the meantime news had reached camp of the
| affair, and Lieutenants Maxwell and Caldwell,
| of the Seventh, Immediately collected about
| twenty men-principally convalescents, the
regiment being absent on a scout at the time
| and started for the picket post, where they
| arrived only to find the enemy gone with their
| booty. They then started for the hospital,
| arriving in time to prevent its capture by the
| enemy who had sent for re-enforeements. The
surgeon was very indignant, and insisted that
! he had surrendered the place and would not
permit the forces at his command to interfere.
He soon found he had to deal with those who
knew how to act, and, with revolvers in hand,
| the lieutenant's men threatened to shoot the
| first man who refused to raise a musket in de-
Tense of his own liberty and Uncle Sans prop
| erty. Colonel Grierson soon after made his
appearance, and reprimanded the surgeon for
his cowardly actions, but WAS too late to pur-

sheridan's Rides

by 7. Buchanan Readl
Up from the south at break of day.
Bringing 10 Winchester fresh disnay,
The aiIrightcd air with a 5hudder bore
Like a herald IN haste TO the chieitait's door,
The terrible grumblc, and rumble, and roar,
Telling the battle once more,
And Sheridan twenty miles away.
And wider still those bill0ws OF war
Thundered along the horizons bar,
And louder yet into Winchester rolled
The roar of tha; red sea uncontrolled,
Making the blood OF the listener cold
As he thought of the stake in that fiery fray,
With Sheridan twenty miles away.
But there's road from Winchester town,
a good broad highway leading down;
And there thro' the flash of the morning light,
A steed as black as the steeds OF night
Was seen TO pass, as with eagle flight;
AS if he knew the terrible need,
lie stretched away with the utmost speed:
Hills rose and feli-but liis heart was gay,
With Sheridan fifteen miles away.
Under bis spuTning feet the road
Like arrowy Alpine river flowed,
And the landscape flowed away behind,
Like an ocean flying before the wind;
And the steed like a bark fed with turnace-ire
Swept on with his wild eyes full OF iire;
But 10 he is nearing his hearts desire
He is snufiing the smoke of the roaring fray,
With Sheridan only five miles away.
The first that the general saw were the groups
OF stragglers. and then the retreatng troops:
What done-what to do-a glance told him
both
And, striking his spurs with terrible oath,
lie u:sSneu uONH q Storm ol
And the wave of retreat checked its course there,
because
The sight of the master compelled it to pause.
With foam and with dust the black charger was
gray,
By the fash of his eye and his nostrirs play
He seemed TO the whole great army TO say:
" | have brought you Sheridan all the way
From Winchester town, to save the dayl"
Hurrahi hurrah for Sheridan
Hurrahl hurrahi for horse and man!
And when their statues are placed on high,
Under the dome of the Union sky
The American soldiers temple of fame
There with the glorious generals name
BE it said, in letters both bold and bright
'' Here is the steed that saved the day
By carrying Sheridan into the fight
From Winchester, twenty miles awayi"

For some time past the HERALD has
known that quite number of cases of
smallpox have prevailed, mainly
amongst the native population, about
Tucson. AS we learn the particulars,
there was nothing to attach n grave
character to this incident Amongst
those who have resided for some time on
the Pacific Coast there is general
knowledge of the fact that, in the lower
orders Of the native Caliiornians and
other native races, there is an invinci-
BILE prejudice against vaccination. The
authorities in Los Angeles had to strug-
Gle against this opposition, which really
amounted to a superstition,i in the small
pox epidemic of ls76-77. Owing to
their opposition to vaccination, large
numbers of the more ignorant classes Of
native Californians, and a goodly num-
Der of Indians, died from the pest in
that year. As matter of fact, we doubt
if twenty Americans or Europeans took
the disease during that famous epidemic,
while the deaths amongst either OF those
classes amounted to a very trihing per
centage. To ask the people OF Los An
geles to be alarmed because there is
some smallpox Mt Tucson is a very much
more absurd proposition than for the

The Del Vale Apportionment.

We repeat, as we have said before,
that the HERALD can see nothing unfair
in the Del Vale Apportionment bill.
The measure received the endorsement
of the Democratic State Central Com
mittee, and the Democratic majority OF
the Legislature would, in our opinion, be
very silly to allow baseless clnmor to
divert them from availing themselves OF
a fair and legitimate party advantage.
If there were anything iniquitons in the
measure we should be the first to con-
denim it. The Congressional apportion-
ment complies in striking manner with
that provision of tho new Constitution
requiring the districts to be contiguous.
There il no element of n gerrymander
in IL. 1t masses good many Republi.
cans in the Alameda district--the old
second--but so did the old apportion-
ment under which, most of the
time, the Republicans elected three
out of the four representatives
from California. In the Senatorial ap-
portionlnent, as reported by Mr.. Del
Vale, the Republicans are treated with
signal generosity. Those who are dis
posed TO complain that the Democrats
are good to themselves in the Congress
sional apportionment, ought to bear the
fact in mind that, through the late Re-
publican apportionment of Indiana, II
took about eight thousand majority to
elect Democratic Congressman, while
the Republican voters were so deity
distributed that majorities of two and
three hundred were quite sufficient; in
other words, all the heavy Democratic
counties were thrown together, with
out regard to contiguity, to kill Demo
cratic votes. II, by strictly adhering
to contiguity, district can be created
which will absorb few thou.
sand Republican voters, who may
not be considered absolutely necessary
to the success Of Republican can
didate, no harm will be done.
1t is sort of political ALI
CATION which is needed, occasionally, to
make things even. 1t really required
two hundred thousand majority for
Cleveland, in New York, the other day,
to assure both branches of the Legisla
ture of that State to the Democracy, SO
heavily has it been gerrymandered by
the Republicans. The Democratic party
nims at no gerrymander, but it should
be just to itself, knowing how pitiably
il would be shorn II it were left in the
power of the Republican minority to

The Board Of Supervisors of San
Francisco have grappled with the Spring
Valley Water Company and reduced
the rates to consumers 37l per cent.
As the recent decision of the Supreme
Court compels the city to pay for water
used by it in flushing its sewers, putting
out its fires and maintaining its parks,
the reduction really amounts to only
POI per cent Unless that company has
been greatly belied it has, in its day,
practised gross estortons upon the peo-
pie of San Francisco. II is asserted that
its capital is largely nominal. and that
its yearly OUTLAWS have been grossly ex-
nggorated As to one thing there can
be no doubt, and that is that there is at
present abroad resolute determination
upon the part of the people of California
to curtail the powers and privileges of
corporations which have abused their
trusts. Spring Valley has invited hos
tility by persistent and indefensible
interference in the elections of San
Francisco; and by the suspicion, widely
prevalent, that its managers have not
only helped to defeat and elect members
of the municipal Legislature, according
to their hostility to or preference for the
men, but that they have corrupted those
bodies after the election. The agents Of
the company now hold ont the threat
that the water supply of the city will be
reduced from fifteen million gallons a
day to five millions, in consequence Of
the action of the Board of Supervisors.
We take no stock in this declaration.
1t is the first splenetic outgiving of a
baflled corporation, which is quite nat.
urally wroth at the curtailment of its
privileges and emoluments. Even after
the retrenchment enforced by the Board
OF Supervisors, Spring Valley will have
an income of nearly $685. 900 a year,
on capital stock OF $4,000, 900;
while, with capital stock of
exactly the same amount, the in
come of the st, Louis Water Company,
which supplies with water a population
of about four hundred thousand souls, is
only 500, 900 per annum. After its first
chagrin at its discontinue Spring Valley
can well afford to fall back upon the
elories of the past, when its earnings
were almost boundless, and resignedly
submit to a dispensation which leaves it
return of six per cent. year on a
nominal capital which has been enor.
