Great efforts are being made to

SHERIDHN'S REPORT.
Vermont Comrade Brings Ii to Bear on the
Cedar Creek Controversy.

Vermont Comrade Brings Ii to Bear on the
Cedar Creek Controversy.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: L have before
me Sheridan's report and his Memoirs, and
purpose to quote from each to sustain points
which / have maintained in the Cedar Creek
controversy, and which are vehemently
denied / do not assail the bravery of any
troops engaged on Oct. 10, 1864.
The last stand made by Getty's Division
was at the stone wall about mile north Of
Middletown.
Now. for the benefit of those who claim
that the other two divisions of the Sixth,
Eighth and Nineteenth Corps retreated no
farther than Getty, quote from SheTidan's
Memoirs, Vol. H., page 50:
My first halt was just north of New
town." Newtown is more than five miles
from Middletown, by the way. 81 could
not" he continues, pass through it, the
streets were so crowded. / was obliged to
make circuit to the left to get around the
village, but meeting Maj. Mckinley, OK
Crooks staff, he spread the news of my re-
turn.
''When nearing the Valley pike just south
of NewtOwn, saw about three-fourths Of .
mile west of the pike body of troops, which
proved TO be Ricketts, and Wheatonis Diyis-
that the Nineteenth Corps had halted a little
to the right and rear of these, but I did nos
stop, desiring to get to the extreme front.
Continuing, Sheridan describes how ho
crossed to the west side of the pike half way
between Newtown and Middletown, and a
little later came up in rear of Getty's Division
of the Sixth Corps. When / arrived this
division and the cavalry were the only troops
in the presence OF and resisting the enemy
they were apparently acting as rear-guard
at a point about three miles north of the
line we held at Cedar Creek when the battle
began Getty's Division, when / found it,
was about mile north of Middletown."
After describing his reception by the troops,
he says: THE first directions gave were to
have the Nineteenth Corps and the two
divisions of Wrights Corps brought to tho
front, so they could be formed on Getty's
Divisions"
From the above it is evident that the Nine
tenth Corps and the First and Third Divis-
ions of the Sixth Corps were miles In the
rear of Getty and were brought up to Getty's
line in pursuance to orders from Sheridan
some time after he arrived on the field.
Sheridan also says: . suggested
that the remaining two divisions OF the
Sixth Corps should be ordered up. which
were to the right and rear of Getty aboua
two miles, and also that the Nineteenth
Corps, which was on the right and rear OF
these two divisions, should be fastened up
before the enemy attacked Getty"
Not only that, but he started all his stan
officers to bring up these troops, land was
so convinced that he would be attacked that
/ went back myself to urge them on"
Dispute of these facts is equal to disputing

EDITORIAL NOTE.-The further descrip-
ton of the great sea tight between the Bon
H0mme Richard and tho Scraps will be
given in the next tnstallment. The dra-
matte experiences Of bold Paul Jones after
that battle win furnish entertainment in
future issues.
The National tribune., 1898-05-05

The dimensions of the Scraps were as
follows:
Length on the gun-deck. ...........146 feet
Length Of keel for tonnage. .........122 feet
Extreme breadth. ................... % les.
Depth of hold. II feet
Burden british measurement 800 tons
She carried her main battery in two
tiers-22 long 18-pounderS on the lower
gun-deck and % long mines on the upper
gun-deck, with six long mines on the
quarter deck and four long mines on the
fOrecastle; total armament of 81 guns;
throwing in single broadside 1888 pounds
of metal as against the Richards 261
pounds with her 18-pounders, and 2l3
pounds without them.
Comparison with the previous descrip-
ton of the Richard will exhibit that the
Scraps was a trife smaller in generaI
dimensions, though more heavily armed;
but she had the additional advantage
of being new, this being her first cruise,
regular man-Of-war built, and like all
ships intended specially for convoy sery-
ice, designed and spared for smart sail
ing and quick working.
Her complement was 332, all hahds;
but the crew of the Scraps were all regular
English man-Of-warS- men, perfectly homo.
gcneous and completely disciplined and
trained which counted for a great deal
when compared with the motley crew of the
Richard, which at this time was also
slightly inferior in numbers to that OF the
Scraps.
We have seen that the Richard, when
she sailed from L'Orient, Aug. IA, had
aboard 1913, all hands; but by Sept. 70 this
force had been considerably reduced.
Second Lieut.. Cutting Lunt had been
captured, with 10 men, in a descent on the
coast. His brother Third Lieut.. Henry
Lunt, had been placed with 10 men IN
charge of prize taken on the morning OF
Sept. %. Four warrant officers and IL men
had been previously detached as prize
crews. This left First Lieut.. Dale and
Fourth and Fifth Lieuts. Stack and Macarty
and 81 other officers and men for duty on
board the Richard when she bore up for
the battle.
There was another element of disparity
between the two ships more important
than the difference in design, build or
weight Of metal. That was the fact that
the Scraps was the crack ship of her
class in a regular navy whose history
for more than a century had been an UNI
broken record of victory over all foes and
whose morale thereby had risen to a point
of exultant arrogance, which was equal to
half the battle at the first shot, while the
Richard was a converted Indiaman, with
out definite rate; armed hap-hazard,
manned at random; belonging to navy
The National tribune., 1898-05-05

If men actually belonging TO other States
or ports were on board they did not hail
from their proper homes, the above being
all that are mentioned in the roster. 1t is
worthy Of note that in the crew of the
Richard, as in many other matters of
Revolutionary history, Philadelphia took
the lead both in numbers and rank of her
citizens on board.

mark that the Alliance was Differed and
