Cromwell as a Cavalryman.

Mr.. Morley describes in the January
Century Oliver Cromwell'S characteristics
as a cavalry leader:
At Winceby or Horncastle fight (Oct. II,
1643), as soon as the men had knowledge of
the enemy's coming, they were very full
mercy that they should now fight with him;
and on they went, singing their psalms,
Cromwell in the van. The Royalist dra-
goons gave him first volley, as he fell with
brave resolution upon them, ard then at half
pistol shot a second, and his horse was
killed under him. But he took soldiers
horse, and promptly mounting again,
given, and performed with so much admira-
bic courage and resolution, that the enemy
stood not another, but were driven back on
their own body" II was clear that a new
cavalry leader had arisen in England. as
daring as the dreaded Rupert, but with Il
coolness III the red blaze of battle. pierre
ing eye for the shifts and changes i'll the
fortunes of the day. above all with Il power
of welding his phalanX with a combined
steadiness and mobility. such as the fiery
prince never had. Whether Rupert or
Oliver was first to change cavalry tactics
is, among experts, matter of dispute. The
older way had been to fire vOlley before
the charge. The front rank discharged
its pistols then opened right and left, and
the secopd rank took its place, and SO down
to the fifth. Then came the onset with
swords and butt-endS of their firearms.
The new plan was To substitute the tactics
of the shock; for the horse to keep close to-
gether, knee to knee, to face the enemy
front to front, and either to receive the
or else in the same cohesion to bear down on
the foe, sword in hand, and not to fire
either pistol or carbine until they had
broken through.

Lieut. Branum's letters to his parents and
family in Bridgeport o., narrate his almost
daily experience with the 9Sth, from their
departure from Camp Mingo, o., in August,
1862, to March 10, 1865, when he fell at
Bentonville, n. c., in the last battle in
which Sherman s army was engaged. The
letters are printed by special arrangement.

wounded around me- and in full view and

arrived Sunday and operations began.
On onday a battery of 10 guns was
placed on the river bank and masked. The
day was occupied in hauling pontoOnS from
Chattanooga, and by night all was ready
TO build the bridge. At l O'Clock Tuesday
morning we were aroused by the musketry
and made aware that the job was under
way. Regiments had fioated down from
Chattanooga in boats, under cover of the
darkness; a landing was made i'll the face of
the enemy, and the rebels who had so long
camped opposite our position were driven
away, and by morning the bridge was laid;
During the day about 10 regiments crossed
and possession was taken of the whole
mountain side opposite us. Tuesday
night We had the satisfaction of seeing long
lines of Union campfires on the hills, in
stead of those Of the rebels, as it had been
heretOfore.

be told, poetry or no poetry.
There was not much visible grandeur
about the capture Of Lookout. because There
was but very little to see. The guns from
Lookout Point and Moccasin smoked and
thundered, but all the stories about the line
being seen sweeping along in a solid pha-
lanX, the men marching shoulder to shoul-
der, and the Stars and Stripes marking the
lines like guidons on parade, are the verleSt
bOSh. There was no continuous line,
but every man for himself.
1t is a fact, however, that when the morn
ing sun revealed the old flag fluttering from
Point Lookout, there arose a cheer that
rang from end to end of our line, and from
reserve to picket post. Lookout had fallen.
and the big gun that was wont to thunder
out defiance, changed its tone and doomed
victory until it was heard in five States,
