History of the Mastery Services OF Little Phil from Peryvie
to Missionary Ridge
to Missionary Ridge.
HENRY CASTLE 73d Department

On Dec. 26, 1862, commenced the Stone
River campaign, the battle being fought
near Murfreesboro, so miles southeast of
Nashville. The Army of the Cumberland,
under Rosecrans, was divided into three
corps, under Crittenden, Thomas and Me
Cook.
After four days of preliminary march
ing and skirmish'ng the forces of Rose
Grams and Bragg, each about $1,000
strong, confronted each other on irregular
but very nearly parallel lines, few hun
dred yards apart, and on the night of Dec.
80 both armies lay on their arms with
full assurance of a bloody struggle next
day.
McCook's Corps constituted the right
wing of the army. Gen. X. w. Johnson
commanded the division on the extreme
right: then came Gen. jeff. G. Davis; then
Sheridan-the latter touching on his left
Negley's Division of Thomas's Corps.
ROsecrans's plan of battle was that the
right should stand fast, while the left,
under Gen. Crittenden, should swing
around, capture Murfreesboro, and take
Bragg's line in reverse. His orders were
that the troops should all be under arms
at daybreak, ready to resist any assault
a thing to be especially expected by the
right wing.
l was at the time Sergeant-Major of
the regiment. and lay under a tree very
near the Major, who was in command. An
hour before daylight Gen. Sheridan came
along the line. on foot and unattended.
He called for the Major, ordered him to

THE CHINESE.
The Simplest Yet Most Difficult Of Lam
guages.
From Lippincotfs Naqqsine.


ParadoXical though it may sound, we
are strictly within the limits of accuracy
when we say that Chinese is, at the same
time the simplest and the most difficult
language in the world; most simple from
the absence of those grammatical rules
and inflectional forms which ycX the stu
dent of European languages, most ditli-
cult because of the combination of differ
ent languages, and all known as Chinese.
The book Chinese is never spoken,
while the colloqual i'll written form would
merit the supreme contempt of the aver
age Chinese student and superciiious
scholar.
The written character is universally the
same throughout the Empire, but each
province, city, town and village seems to
have reserved the right to invent its own
pronunciation of those written words
which are common to the whole nation,
and which constitute an eternal and in
separable bond which will link the IS
Provinces together as long as China re-
mains a nation.
The possibility of two Cinnamon meet
ing each other, and while each speaks
Chinese, being unable to indulge in mu-
tual conversation in that language, will
at once serve forcibly to illustrate the
pronounced differences of the Mongolian
tongue.
1t would be more correct to say that
China possesses a number of languages,
distinct and separate, and each subdivided
into numerous dialects, linguistic cOndi-
tiOn which ut once suggests the absence
of railroads or other means of bringing
the various provincialS into conversational
contact with each other

nooga, resulting after many minor epi-
sodes in the great battle of Chickamauga.
On the morning of Sunday, Sept. -,
1865, the decisive day ut Cnickamauga,
Sheridan's Division occupied a position
near the extreme right of the army. The
necessity of protecting the left from tho
onslaught of the Confederates was recog-
niZed early, and there was general drift
i'll that direction. The inopportune with
drawal of Woods Division from its place
i'll the line of battle was quickly taken ad-
vantage of by the enemy, which poured
through the gap in overwhelming NUM-
bers, cutting off Negley, Davis and Sheri-
dan from the remainder of the forces.
Determined and desperate fighting was
done by the veterans of PerryviIle and
Stone River to avert the impending disas-
ter. One splendid charge was made,
against overwhelming odds, by LaibOldt S
Brigade of Sheridan's DiyIsion-a charge
that almost deserves a place i'll history be-
side the immortal sacrifice of the 1st
Alinn. at Gettysburg. The I'D ILL., led
this charge. My brother, G. y. Castle,
then a boy of 20 years, n private in Co. l,
now a prominent citizen and successful
business man i'll Illinois, gave me the fol
lowing vivid description of the incident,
after the lapse of 80 years:
AT about II 80 a. NJ. Gen. McCook
came to I.aibOldt, our brigade commander,
and in person ordered him to Immediately

impediments, Sheridan marched out on the
Lafayette road, which led directly to the
left of Thomass position at Snodgrass
Hill, where the Rock of Chickamauga"
had been working out during that long
and bloody day, one of the achievements
that give men title to undying fame.
BY u o'clock p. IN. Sheridan had reached
Clouds Church, three miles south of Ross
vile, skirmishing almost constantly en-
route, and capturing some of the enemy's
field hospitals. At this point, less than
mile from Snodgrass, the staff officer
sent i'll advance to report to Gen. Thomas
returned with his instructions to halt and
mence early in the evening.
This order was obeyed. Sheridan's Divi-
sion held that post until the wcaried and
battle-scarred legions of Thomas marched
by; then it constituted the rear guard Of
the army as it fell back to Rossville Sher-
idan accompanied Thomas in person. and
received his warmest thanks for this aid,
which was voluntary, and might have
been vitally important.
These are the salient facts of the rec
ord, and this statement is the truth of
history If an attempt had not been made
and persisted i'll to falsify that record,
this paper would never have been written.
The only serious accusation, to my know
edge, ever made against Gen. Sheridan's S
military conduct was in connection with
his withdrawal from the battlefield of
Chickamauga. The luster of his great re-
nown permits no Frightening at my hands;
he needs no defense; his Immortality is Sc
cure. But justice TO my comrades who
served with him in the Army of the Cum
berland, and to whom each episode of
that service is a precious treasure, has
ilnpelled me to gather and briefly record
the proofs with which the statements
have just made can be impregnably but
tresscd.

cnira.s Estimate of women.

The literature of a country in which
woman occupies such an inferior social
position az in China cannot be expected
to refer to the weaker sex in any lauda-
tory or complimentary terms. ITO dis
cover the Chinaman's estimate of woman
we need only turn to the word-pictures OF
his language.
1t is a noteworthy fact that in the
thousands OF Chinese characters there are
scarcely any in which the symbol for wom-
an is combined that convey any good or
beautiful meaning.
