He Passed tie Night of October IS,
1864, in Close Touch With His Troops.
From the Syracuse Herald.
There is in the possession Of a man less
than ten miles from Syracuse what is prob
ably the first autograph letter OF General
Sheridans, in which the legend on which
Thomas Buchanan Reeds famous poem is
founded is proved to be based upon an
error. Colonel Mortimer Birdseye of Fay
etteville is the man to whom the letter
was written, and he preserves 1t as one of
his most precious relics. 1t runs as follows:
CHICAGO, Feb. 8, 1872
Ny Dear Colonel Birdseye:
have your letter of January 90 1 staid
at Winchester on the night Of October IS,
1864. l arrived on the battlefield on the
18th about 10 'clock-perhapsN q little
carrier. I Immediately ordered General Gus
ter from the left to the right Then went
to work to reform the infantry on the
right of Getty's division of the 9th Corps
After this had been done and about half
past IL or 1 o'clock / rode down the line
AS many of the troops did not see ME until
this time, some of them may have fallen
into the error that this was my first ar
rival on the battlefield. Yours truly.
p. H. SHERIDAN,
Lieutenant General
Il had gotten into an argument with some
old cavalry comrades" said Colonel Birds
eye, in explanation of the circumstances
under which he received this important
document, "as to Sheridan's whereabouts
on the night of October 1s, 1864. As a re-
suit of the argument wagered the finest
game supper that could be gotten up In
Titusville, Pa, where we were stopping
at the time, e,sthat General Sheridan staid In
Winchester on the night OF October IS.
and was on the battlefield before noon of
the 10th. To settle the wager I wrote to
General Sheridan, and this letter was the
reply. The others claimed that the gem
eral was at Harper's Ferry, forty miles
away from the battlefield of Cedar Greek,
having halted there on his return from
Washington the day before. but 1 thought
proved that was right

A NEW TORPEDO,
May BE Directed I'm It's Course From
Those on Shfpboard.


Those on Shipboard,
| From the London Mail.
For some time past experiments have
been carried out with a new torpedo IN
| vented by a young English electrician, Mr.
Cecil Varioas OF Weymouth The most
salient characteristic of this new weapon is
that its passage and course through the
water can be directed and controlled either
from the shore or the coming tower OF a
battle ship. AS is well known, the course
or the present Whitehead torpedo is main
tained by wonderfully complex applt-
ance known as the gyroscope. fitted within
the weapon. The cost of the Whitehead
torpedo is about f2,Oo0 and although its
destructive qualities are so tremendous
yet its chances Of striking the target are
very remote, especially IL the object at
which II is fired happens to be moving.
If 1t should miss the target the proJectile
simply continues on it's journey until its
propelling force is exhausted. when It drifts
about at the mercy of the waves.
But the difficulty has at last been sur
mounted by the invention of Mr.. varfcas.
BY means of his device the torpedo while
travelling at express speed through the
water. and several hundreds of feet away
from the point OF discharge, without any
wire or other connection, may be controlled
as expeditiously and as easily as If an
operator were on board to manipulate it's
diminutive rudder. How is this accom-
plished? Simply by means of wireless teleg-
raphy
Externally the torpedo is exactly the
same as the Whitehead projeotile. The
dimensions are precisely the same and the
propeller is of equal caliber. The interior,
however, is vastly different. The explosive
charge and the driving engines are placed
in the same positions, but the gyroscope,
the most expensive piece OF mechanism is
dispensed with. In its place is substituted
delicate electrical apparatus for actuating
the rudder.
The apparatus upon the shore or battle
ship for the transmission OF the electrical
waves to the travelling torpedo comprises
a powerful induction coll and a small hand
wheel reversible IN either direction. This
the officer manipuates in the same manner
as the steering wheel OF q vessel the tor
pedo turning to the right or left, according
to the movements of the wheel.
The celerfty and facility with which the
torpedo answers the movements of the
the transmttter, are remarkable.
II was dispatched straight out to sea- con-
tinuing in a straight line until Il had tray.
eled 200 yards. which point was the max
imum range over which the ether waves
could be transmitted in this particular In
stance. 1t then simply circied round ana
round until its propelling power was ex-
hausted. The range over which the ether
waves may be transmitted simply depends
upon the intensity OF the electric current
and since Marconi can establish communi-
cation over thirty miles, torpedoes might
be manipulated at the same distance.
When the proJectile enters the water
from the tube a float is detached, and this
serves the same purpose as Marconi's high
mast
