established headquarters at Siaunton.
On the I'd of March, 1865, by the vic.
tory of Waynesboro, directly on the
Chesareake d Ohio road, Sheridan
finally gained complete control of the
Shenandoah. Thence he moved south
ward to Lynchburg, destroying the
James river canal and cutting various
lines of railroad. on the 10th of March
reached White House, and on the LIST of
April he was turning Lees flank at
Five Forks.
Thus, in outlines only, are recalled
the countless matters and the innu-
merable points of absorbing interest in
the Shenandoah. The veterans who
served there will readily fill in the
pictures with their personal cxpe-
riences of battles, camps and marches
Such of them as wish to visit Antie-
tam and Gettysburg will find the in
terest increasing every step after cross
ing the Potomac Antietam is just
over the river and it is but a few
hou.s' ride to Gettysburg. Through
the Cumberland valley, which is
continuation of the Shenandoah,
Gen. Patterson came down be-
fore Bull Run to hold Johnston
in check. With him came Col.
Thomas, afterwards commander of the
Army of the Cumberland, to his
first battle at Falling Waters. Under
this leader, as n private soldier, served
Samuel j. Randall, afterwards the
democratic statesman, then private
cavalry soldicr-the first man to write
the war department in eulogy OF
Thomas. The burnt section is still
visible at Chambersburg; and there il
the monument to the first soldier killed
in the defense of northern soil.
All these great chapters in our wai
history, which the veterans are coming
to live through again, make up but one
of the side trips which the Chesapeake

famed theaters of eastern fighting.

First-rhe unfortunate incident of
the 10Th Of October originated in
brawl between intoxicated sailors of
both nations. The riot grew in pro-
portions on account of the special ward
in which it occurred, full of houses of

Second-The policemen from the first
moment did all they were directed to
do to suppress the riot The correct
course of the police has been ackuowl-
edged by every one of the witnesses
and of the American sailors except
two.
Third-Only one isolated shot was

When 1864 opened it had been de-
cided that no campaign against Rich
mond or Gen. Lees army could be sue
cessful unless the Shenandoah could
he cleared of confederate troops and
firmly held by the union forces.
Gen. Hunter succeeded Sigel in May
of that year. He moved with great
energy and came to battle close along
the line of the Chesapeake & Ohio at
Piedmont, near to both Staunton and
Waynesboro. Thence he pushed south
to Lexington, and fought his way to
the entertainments around Lynchburg.
Here Early, from Lees army, by d
rapid march via Trevilian station,
further to the eastward on the Chcsa-
peaSe Il Ohio, had joined Breclin-
ridge. Hunter then began Il rapid re-
treat, and eluding these forces, instead
of attempting to withdraw down the
valley which would have exposed him
to the dangers of movements in his
rear from Lees forces, struck directly
westward for the Kannwha valley. He
first rested at White sulphur, directly
on the Chesapeake Sc Ohio. and then
moved along its line to Gauley bridge,
Thence Hunter finally reached the
Ohio river, and thence by boat and rail
was transported to the Potomac valley
again. When he reached Cumberland,
on the Baltimore & Ohio, Early, who,
when Hunter uncovered the valley by
his westward march, had pushed down
TO the Potomac, invaded Maryland,
and was well on his way to Washing
ton. Then followed the tremendous
sensation of the Early attack upon
and final repulse from in front of the
capital by Gen. Wright's corps from
Petersburg and part of the Nineteenth
corps from Hampton Roads. There
are thousands of western veterans who
will ind the valley full of reminders of
these stirring events.
Next came the great union move in
overwhelming force for the final clear
ing of the valley. The veterans will
clearly remember how the Army of
the Shenandoah was constituted: Three
divisions of the Ninth corps, part OF
the Nineteenth, two divisions OF
Crooks Army of West Virginia, Tor
belts cavalry division from the Army
of the Potomac, Lowells cavalry brig
ade, Averills, Duties and j. IL, VIII
sons cavalry commands-a splendid
army led by Sheridan.
The season brought the great en-
gagements under this leader. First,
however, he was compelled to with
draw from Strasburg to Harper's
Ferry, thus repeating the move which
had become as frequent for the valley
as the routine statement in the cur
rent dispatches after many battles
"The Army of the Potomac has occu'

part of Septem ber, 1864, when the val

Long before the Chesapeake & Ohio

upon their early fighting ground. At
many turns the road comes upon the

The author of "A Cruise in an Opium

where il had become necessary to make
a landing in new and dangerous

they went through the surf. One end

Each of us had loose life line made

west OF Staunton. IL was sharp uf-
fair, and resulted in Banks abandon
ing his plan of clearing Tho valley, and
in his returning to Strasburg.
On the goth of May, Jackson, joined
by Ewell started north from New
Market to attack Banks entrenched at
Strasburg. Every town is marked with
the history of that campaign and the
veterans who visit them will recall the
stirring scenes that filed the valley
through all the years of the war with
every species of excitement which bat
tie and campaign can give-the elation
of victory and the -. session of defeat.
And this is true of every station which
the trains pass, for each was at times
the theater of alternating success, and
again for each the fields of defeat.
At this period, the celebrity of move
ment on both sides of the valley al
most rivaled the trains which hourly
rush through it, Banks fell back to
the Potomac, Jackson attacked Charles
ton, took it, and pushed on to Harper's s
Ferry Next came fifteen thousand
men from Mcdowell at Fredericks-
burg, through Manassas Gap, whose
mission was to bag Jackson" The
latter withdrew in great haste TO
Strasburg. 1t was race to save his
army Fremont was closing in from
the west, Shields from the east and
Mcdowell waited at Front Royal to
seize his prey. There was immense
stir and activity ON all sides, but Jack
son won, and reached the upper valley
unscathed. Over every step of this ad-
vance and retreat the blood of the
union veteran who looks upon the fa-
miliar places will run fast under the
quicl1ening of memory.
Port Republic, Cross Keys and Har-
risonburg are close TO Staunton and
| Waynesboro. There were hot battles
near the latter place. AT Port Repub-
lie, jackson fell upon Shields and
avenged Kernstown. At Cross Keys
he defeated Fremont. Both were
famous engagements. He captured the
union garrison at Front Royal, and
drove Banks across the Potomac.
These were stirring months-the
three which made up the spring OF
1862. They ended Jackson's operations
for the time in the valley He sudden
ly and secretly withdrew and aston
ished Mcclellan by appearing on his
flank at Cold Harbor.
From these most general statements
and space does not admit of details, i
will be seen that there was no othel
spot during the early periods of th'
war where movement and fighting wa'
so sharp and constant as on the She
nandoah.
With the autumn of 1862, the vale,
began to witness campaigns on great
er scale.
In September, there came Lees frs
invasion of Maryland, and while hi
columns moved along east of the Blue
Ridge, the valley was alive with sup

WHAT AN INDIAN DID.
A " ounded Redskln Caused the Retreat oi
Il Whole Regiment

There was one feature OF the fight be-
tween the Seventh Cavalry and the
Sioux at Wounded Knee which indicates
in the most unmistakable manner the
effect of modern firearms on the defen-
sivc, and which is, as far MS | know,
without a parallel in history. After
the fight was over and the Indians had
been killed or captured, the cavalry set
to work to bury the dead. Suddenly u
shot was heard and a horse fell wound
ed, The troops were puzzled to know
where the shot came from, but their
mystihcation was soon ended by puff
of smoke from the top of chimney
like rock on neighoring bluff, the ring
of rife ball being followed by the
whip-lil<e crack of Winchester An
Indian shot through the shoulder had
managed to drag himself to the rock,
and was firing upon the troops as fast
as he could pull the trigger in his dis
abled condition. A squad was detailed
to silence him, but so well was he COW
cred that not shot could reach him,
while his bullets were sent to all parts
of the battle-ground. The fact was
finally recognized that the solitary
wounded Indian with his Winchester
completely dominated the field, and
that 1t would cost half dozen lives to
dislodge him AS it was not considered
worth while to go to this expense, the
only thing to be done was to march off.
The regiment accordingly withdrew,
having been fairly driven off by one
wounded man. know of no similar in
