Galloping along far ia advance OF his

his voice and presence infused new
courage into the dishearteend men. Al
retreat was ordered stopped at once

Of western Virginia, which had been
so completely broken up and scattered
was reformed In a measure and put
into position. In the meantime the Con
federates had moved up their guns in
range of the new position, and having
got the troops again In hand, charged
the federals again, but were driven
back by the Nineteenth corps. Gen.
BIdwell was killed in this attack. Sher-
idan, having made all preparations for
assuming the offensive, ordered an at.
tack with view Of regalning his old
position at Cedar Creek. Gettys sec.

corps In the center the other divisions
supporting. As Getty dashed forward
on the charge he was met with ire
mendous fire Of musketry and artillery.
1t seemed impossible for the troops 10
withstand ii. The lines fell back once,
broken, but were again reformed and
the men pushed on. Despite the bloody
and determined resistance Newtown
was carried and the discounted enemy
driven out. The crisis Of the day had
arrived, and from that moment victory
lowered over the federal army On
through MiddIetown and beyond the
Confederates hurried and the Union
soldiers pursued. Charging right and

This dismal morning wore excitingly
on. and at o'clock we were again
making desperate efforts to check the
enemy'S advance. The brunt of fresh
and fierce onset was borne by the
Eighth corps on the left, and the Sixth
in the center, with Custer, and Merritt
In the thick of the battle, cheering on
the men, fighting like tigers and accom-
pliShing wonders. Artillery and mus
kerry were used on both sides, buf Tthe
big guns of the enemy were brought to
bear with greater effect, their batteries
being REINFORCED by those captured
from us earlier in the day. Early's
tanking column pressed us severely,
and once more we We're forced to re-
treat. The Sixth corps in the center
held the ground stubbornly, but unas-
sisted, it could not resist the deter
mined advance Of the enemy. The
whole line gave way and the Confed-
crates gained possession of Middletown.

APPEAL TO
CHRISTIAN CHURCH
Made by Judge Taft in Behalf of
the Fillpinos.
"A Great Missionary Work That Is
Certain to Promote Christian Civ
ilization."

The extension of a vitalizing Chris
tianity among the Filipnos as advo-
Gated by Judge Taft both before his
speech of acceptance of the nomina-
ton TO the presidency and in that doc
ument itself has been widely com
mented upon in the pulpits of the
United States. The voice Of the cler-
gy has given earnest commentator
to the attitude of Judge Taft, who
when governor general OF the islands
exerted the utmost influence for
amelioration OF the condition Of the in
babitants Of the archipelago, and that.
too, at the cost of great self-sacrifice
u his own part in refusing the seat
on the supreme bench, to which he was
both called and commanded by Presi.
dent Roosevelt.
Never since he first assumed the bur
den of the governorship of the Philip.
pines has the welfare OF the Fillplnos
ceased to be close TO the heart of
Judge Taft In his speech OF accept.
ance again he reminded the Americans
that 1t Is the duty OF this country rs
a strong, Christian and enlightened ma.
| tien to give spiritual as well as ma
terial aid TO the distant brown breth.
