He seized his sabre again, shouted so that
the staggering line heard him and responded
then away dashed the mare, straight for
gun, behind which stood tall Confederate
with the lanyard in his hand ready to pull.
I saw Sam disappearing in cloud of f1ame
and smoke, and on the instant horse and
rider vanished, and we were among the guns,
our sabres falling like cleaning fails.
Well, we got the guns. and, after much
searching, we found the mare nearly blown
to pieces, and Sam, bleeding and powder
stained, seated on a tumbril. He looked as
if he had gone through a threshiag machine,
yet none of his wounds was severe.
He was made lieutenant the next day,
though to do him justice, he protested to
General Sherman that he did not lead the
charge, and that his so-called gallantry was
forced on him by his mares running away.
But Sam demonstrated his valor on other

General George H. Thomas,

AS the war recedes from US the, men and
events Of those days begin to assume their
proper proportions and perspective. In the
armies, North and South, perhaps more than
in any other armies that ever existed, the
affection of the private soldier for his officer,
and particularly for his commanding gen.
eral, partook often of the nature of adora-
ton. There were few generals, able, con-
scientious men, too. like Halleck and Buell. in
the North, and Bragg and Pemberton in the
South, who seem never to have gained the
affection or confidence of their men. Great
and successful as General Grant undoubtedly
was it cannot be sid that the men in the
armies he commanded regarded him with
the same warm affection that the soldier of
the Army of Northern Virginia bestowed
on General Lee, or "Mauss Bob" as they
lovingly called him.
When the prejudices Of the war have died
out, and the impartial historian sits down to
portray the grand characters in that stirring
drama, no figure will stand out with more
prominence, or be regarded with more
admiration, than that Of the virginian,
George H. Thomas. When the war broke out
Thomas showed himself larger than his State
and as great as the nation that had educated
him. With moral courage that even his
opponents admired, he refused rank and
preferment in the service of the Con-
iederacy, and remained true to the
Union. To General Thomas we owe the
first great victory of the war, that of Summer
set, Kentucky, where he met and defeated
Zollicoffer, on the banks of the Cumberland.
To him also we owe the last great victory in,
the West, or rather that series of victories
which resulted in the overthrow of Hoods
army and forever FRUSTRATED the power Of the
Confederacy in the Mississippi Valley. The
world has already recognized General
