HE RODE WITH SHERIDAN.
Sergeant Renm's Story of the Famous
Ride from Winchester.

Sergeant Renm's Story of the Famous
Ride from Winchester.
OF the five United States cavalrymen
who finished the famous ride with
Sheridan from Winchester to Cedar
Creek in the Shenandoah valley in 1864,
two are living in Reading, Pa. Bar
ton Ream is one and Samuel Lewis is
the other. Ream was a sergeant when
the special escort was formed. He is
now a telephone lineman. Lewis is
employed at Bard's spoke works. Both
are in excellent health.
Sergt. Ream says that 200 cavalrymen
of the Seventeenth Pennsylvania regi-
ment escorted Sheridan from Martins
burg to Winchester on October 1S, 1864
The next day 20 troopers were selected
as special escort to ride with Sheri-
dan from Winchester to the front,
where Longstreet's army had put to
rout the northern army in the Shenan-
doah valley.
1--WE were picked out to ride with
Sheridan because we had good horses"
said Ream in telling Of the ride. "The
trip was long, We had to jump fences,
bitches and barricades, owing to the
crowded condition of the public road,
filed as it was by the retreating army.
By the time we got to the front I don't
think more than five Of the escort had
held out. On the way we met United
States soldiers in full retreat who
were clad only in their undershirts and
drawers. Mind you, it was a sharp,
cool October day. Sheridan wore cap
that day, and kept waving it and cheer
ing to the retreating soldiers to face
about. History has recorded 1t prop
erly that it was Sheridan's great per-
sonality that rerallied that broken
army. / believe the private soldiers
in that memorable ride all agree with
the version given to the world by the
officers who wrote the historical ac-
counts. When Sheridan arrived at
Cedar Creek l rode along the battle
lines with him when our army was
ready to charge on the confederates
about four o'clock. I was not in the
thick Of the fight, being too tired. We
were excused, and saw the fight from
high ground near where Sheridan and
his staff stood. After that battldI was
with Gen. Kilpatrick's raid toward
Richmond and did other service."-N.

advanced to take advantage of it. The
objective point was battery which
was covered by the First Minnesota
infantry. Reinforcements were on the
way, but at the moment this regiment
was the only one to stay the advance.
Hancock, at the post of danger, looking
over this little force of 262 men, ex-
claimed to its leader:
"What regiment is this?"
"The First Minnesota"
Colonel" said the general, pointing
to the enemy, charge and take those
colors!"
This was no blunder, like the order at
Balaklava, but desperate chance. The
Minnesotans advanced in splendid or
der against force vastly greater than
their own; they did not recoil under
a terrible fire that moved them down;
they hurled themselves on the run into
the e hemy; they were literally swal-
lowed up in the confederate ranks.
The line of the enemy was broken,
and fatally; for the attack occupied
the confederates so long that the sup
porting movements which Hancock
had in the meantime ordered succeed
ed in checking the advance.
After the fight was over, and Gene
terry Ridge had been saved to the union
forces, the First Minnesota-"a that
was left of it'-came back with the flag
of Wilcox's confederate brigade, which
was the one that Hancock had ordered
the regiment to capture. But only AZ
men returned!
Fifty-six men of the 262 were killed
outright, and 10 were mortally wound.
ed. One hundred and forty more lay
wounded on the field. Not one was
taken prisoner.
The Light brigade at Balaklava con-
sisted of 67O men. Of these, all but
1913 were killed or wounded-a loss OF
about 10 per cent. The loss in killed
and wounded of the First Minnesota
was SO per cent
The charge of the Minnesotans was
the more brilliant, not only because
it was more bloody, but because it eff
fected its purpose. Fate had selected
the regiment for sacrifice, and it went
to the sacrifice with perfect willing
ness and unsurpassed intrepidity, It's
deed deserves to be commemorated not
alone in granite, but in deathless verse.

Nothing Is Lost When You Know
Where 1t Is.
At the battle of Helena, Ark, July 4,
1868, eight men of companies E and II,
Thirty-second Missouri, were made
prisoners by the Johnnies in the grave
yard battery, which was captured by
Parsons divisions during the fight, and
held until after the dharge ON Fort
Curtis had been repulsed
Among the prisoners was Mike Hilt,
jolly, stout veteran, whose good hu-
NOR kept his company laughing half
the time. The captured were taken to
Little Rock with Prices retreating
army, at which place Hit became quite
chummy with a certain confederate or
derby sergeant of the Sixteenth Mis-
souri,. One day the orderly borrowed
Mixes knife to cut something, and neg
lccted to return it.
I Not long afterward arrangements
were made to exchange the prisoners
for an equal number of confederates
heldby us, and without any previous no.
tice the men were hastily collected and
marched to steamer at the landing to
go north. When about half way to
Helena, Mike suddenly remembered
about his knife, and wanted the boat
turned right back to go after it.
The other prisoners objected; in fact
nearlyeyery body objected but Mike. He
was half inclined to go back afoot and
alone and get his property, if he had to
brave the whole trans-Mssissippi army
to do it. Of course, the boat kept right
ON toward Helena, but all the noise of
her putting and paddles could hardly
down the echoes of Mikes remon-
strances.
For months afterward he would
break out occasionally about Glis hard
luck in having to leave that knife in
Little Rock. Notwithstanding Price
was defeated and failed to capture the
rich stores at Helena, Mike insisted his
expedition could not be considered to-
tai failure as long as that jackknife re-
mained in confederate hands.
Nearly year later-April 0, 1864
at Pleasant Hill, La, the Thirty third
Missouri again crossed swords with
their confederate neighbors of the Six
iteenth Missouri. When the fight was
over we had made number of prison
ers. In looking. them over Mike soon
espied his friend the orderly sergeant
whose memory had proved so treacher-
ous at Little Rock. He greeted him
with the warmth of blood relation,
and while still shaking him vigorously

so often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
fultills every wish in relieving pain
in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passag-

and scalding pain in passing it, or
bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that un-
pleasant necessity of being compelled
to get up many times during the night
to urinate. The mild and the extraor-
dinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its
