And, after all, it was disclosed at the

General T. L. Rosser, who was to take
command of General Fitz Lees mount
ed division. Rosser was a fighter, and
the people hailed him as the savior of
the valley" Early had attributed his
mishaps in September to Sheridans
superiority in cavalry, and Rosser
eagerly set to work to vindicate the
troopers. Rosser led an attack on Gus
ter's Federal command, and a brigade
under LomaX fell upon the division
of General Wesley Merritt. In point

kicking at the heels of Sheridans rear
guard and annoying if not hasten
ing his retreat The night of Oct. S.
after a day of rear guard fighting,
Sheridan told his cavalry chieftain,
General TOrDert, to move out at day
light and either whip Rossers cavalry
or get whipped himself" The column
marched at dawn and rode back after
the enemy, meeting him at Toms
brook stream which crosses the val
ley above Strasburg. Getting his line
into position, Torbert charged the enc
my, stirring up a saber fight which
lasted for two hours. Finally the men
of Rosser and Lomax took to the rear
and left eleven guns, with ambulances,
headquarters wagon, Everything on
Wheels" as spoils to the victorious
Yankee troopers. Torbert chased Ros-
ser back toward Staunton, twenty-six
miles.
After the battle at Toms brook
Sheridan placed his army in position
along Cedar creek, sent the Sixth corps
on toward Washington to rejoin Grant
on the James and prepared to go him
self to Washington for consultation
with his superiors about plan of cam
paign. While Grant was satisfied to
leave Sheridan to his own devices, the
war department wished him to fight
his way through Early's army toward
the upper James river and flank Rich
mond. AT this time Sheridan believed
that Early, with his infantry, was at
GOrdonsville or Charlottesville, fifty to
sixty miles from his own camps on
Cedar creek. News of Sheridans
movements reached Early with aston
ishing accuracy and celebrity. He
learned of the departure of the Sixth
corps and Immediately set out to try
conclusions with his foe. Once more
he marched his men up Fishers HILL
pushing his front forward through the
town of Strasburg to Hupp's hill, a
height only two miles from Sheridans
line. All this was done so quietly that
the first the Federals knew of the pres
ence of foe was the dropping Of a
big shell from Hupps hill near the
oHi r. o HISS III UeHerdl 1uOrDurI 5

Shell followed shell, and Thorburn's
men left their dinners to charge the
Baucy battery on Hupp's hill. Mean
5hile Rosser's cavalry forded Cedar
reek and again attacked the redoubta-
ole Custer. The events of the day
satisfied Early that Sheridan was in
position behind Cedar creek, and he
withdrew his vanguard to the works
on Fishers hill.
The bombshell in Thorburns camp
completely disillusioned Sheridan as to
the remoteness of Early's army, and
he instantly dispatched a courier to re-
call the Sixth corps to the line at Cedar
creek GEORGE L. KILMER.

James river, above the city. Grant
wished Sheridan to strike Charlottes-
vile and repair the railroads from the
Potomac to that point as means for
rationing his army. But Sheridan re-
piled that his soldiers could not sub
sist off the supplies to be found in the
region where he was operating while
the railroad was being repaired. He
knew that General Early had been re-
enforced since his defeats in Septem-
Der and so decided to march his whole
army back beyond the scene of his re-
cent victories. While the Federals We're
lying in front of Staunton, the COnfed-
crate base of supplies, the cavalry
secured the region round about, find
ing it rich in forage and grain. Sheri-
dan decided to burn the crops around
Staunton and continue the work of
destruction in his retrograde march
down the valley. When his views and
plans reached Grant at Petersburg the
chief told his lieutenant to take up
some position which he could hold and
send all the troops that could be spared
to his own lines at Petersburg.
During the long wait of Sheridan in
the vicinity of Staunton the wagon
trains were steadily going to the front
with supplies. But the valley region,
with mountains cut by innumerable
passes on either side, is a splendid
field for irregular warfare, and the
roaming Confederate partisan bands Of
Colonel Jack MoSby and the daring
Mcneil were continually raiding Sheri-
dams trains and surprising his out
posts. One night a Federal cavalry
picket, 100 strong, was captured entire
at Mount Jackson, half way between
Sheridan's front and his base. Often
a Federal train of fifty or sixty
wagons going to the front would re-
quire a guard of at least 1000 men,
and yet the only enemy to be met was
the roaming parties of raiders, num-
bering twenty to forty men. Retalia-
ton and q bitter civil war with the
torch experimenting the gun and
sword became the order of the day.
Sheridan reported that when he set
out on the return march he had
made the whole region of the upper
valley between the Blue Ridge and
North mountain untenable for the Con-
! federate army.
But the destruction did not stop with
the burning of crops and mills. One
day Sheridan's engineer officer, Lieu
tant John r. Meigs, was found dead
under suspicious circumstances outside
