Homeward indeed he marched, yet
with strange feelings of anxiety and
depression. What If the Ill turn for
tune had taken Of late pursued them
now even beyond the Blue Ridge
mountain walls? Far south, in Geor-
gia, Sherman's army was marching VIC
toriously to the sea. The Confederacy
had been cut in twain by the fall of
Vicksburg and again by the loss Of At
lanta. Now Sheridan proposed to es-
tablish line of communication with
his base Of supplies at Washington
that would subdivide Virginia and iso-
late Richmond. The hardships as well
as the horrors Of war were now COM
ing home to the people of the valley as
never before.

and outward peace and plenty abound

Ellingham galloped up the sunlit linden

him. She was REINFORCED by buxom

seriousness, ''you know Sheridan Is

Poor Bob said this in an offhand,

General one of his staff finally
said as they moved cautiously down the
Swallowed road toward Charlottesville.

posed place for your
NO." he replied quickly. 1.-THE dan
ger is over. and we must follow up the
enemy. Go back and tell A. P. Hill to
press right on"
After this no one presumed to offer
further remonstrance, and they rode on
in silence. peering uneasily through the
half darkness. until suddenly volley
of firing ahead seemed to indicate that
they had run upon Federal skirmish
line. The general turned his horse, but
unfortunately went off the route and

and who had no idea that their COM
mander had passed beyond the lines.
They fred upon the party, killing one

three Of the signalmen. Jackson turn

other company Of Confederates belong

confusion and darkness
Jackson's horse bolted, a limb of q
tree struck the rider In the face, and
he reeled in his saddle. Bob Ellingham
rushed forward and caught the bride

the general to dismount. His left arm
hung limp, and the officers removed
his gauntlets, which were filed with
the blood streaming from three wounds
which he had received simultaneously
General Hill rode up at this moment
and asked Jackson if he was seriously
hurt.

feeble reply. II wish you would gel

Federal losses came near to Wiping out

Meanwhile Sheridan found his long
awaited opportunity in grand raid to-
ward Richmond with an overwhelm-
Ing force. including the enterprising
brigades of Custer and Merritt, the OBJ
ject being to tear up Lees communi-
cation with his capital and to be in a
position to dispatch the remainder of
the Army Of Northern Virginia-if
Grant had defeated it in the Wilder
ness. This latter part of the program

it at Yellow Tavern, only few miles
from Richmond, the C0nfederates lost
their gallant cavalry leader and beau
sabreur, the Incompatible Stuart.
Relentlessly the war went on. Lee a.
second time had checked the Federal
forces at the gate of Richmond. Grant,
In the middle of June, settled down In
front Of Petersburg, determined to
flight it out on that line If it took all
summer" 1t did. In fact, the siege
was destined to last ten long, weary
months.
General Lee sent as large force as
he dared detach under Early, once
more to march down the Shenandoah
valley and threaten Washington.
Sheridan's orders from Grant were
to press Early and cut Lees commune
cations by which he got supplies from
the rich valley for his dwindling army.
This was large contract for the
young commander Of the Army Of the
Shenandoah. If he could fulfill it,
Richmond was doomed and the days
Of the Confederacy were numbered.
Moreover, this was the region where
the prestige Of the Federal arms most
sorely needed rehabilitation.
Hence the desirabiiity. as Grant said.
of Sheridan's driving the enemy out of
the valley and Of leaving nothing there
to invite their return. With some idea
of the magnitude of the task before
him, but confident in the strong back
ing and broad discretion given him by
the lieutenant general, Sheridan made
his plans to ''sweep the valley so clean
that crow flying over it would have
to carry its rations.''
The defenders met this move with
relatively small force, but including as
many troops as possible who had pre-
viously tramped the Winchester pike
with "St0newall' Jackson's "foot cav
airy" Among these youthful veterans
now led by Jubal Early was Colonel
Robert Ellingham-still Bob to his Vir-
ginia comrades, as once again he faced

CHAPTER XII,


THE great. epical three days bat
tie Of Gettysburg, the most stu
pendous artillery and infantry
combat that ever took place
on American soil, saw the high water
mark Of the rebellion. Shortly after
Pickett's column had dashed itself to
pieces against the iron bound, fame
fringed Union lines on Cemetery ridge
the tide began to ebb, slowly but stead
lily, back from the hills of Pennsylvania
and Maryland. below. the old trium-
plant lines of the Potomac and the
Rappahannock, finally to cease, twenty
months later. by the remote banks Of
the Appomattox.
The Federal army, cautiously maneu-
vered by Meade, followed Lee into Vir-
ginia. but did not attack him, and the
remainder of the summer season was
one of welcome repose to both sides.
At the headquarters Of the Federal
Army of the Potomac, now encamped
along the Rapidan, General Meade had
gorgeous Solferino silken flag with
zoned on it flying over his tent. One
day in March a silent, bearded stranger
paused in passing to gaze upon this
splendiferous emblem as he exclaimed
involuntarily:
whats this? Is imperious Caesar
anywhere about here?"
The bearded stranger was Lieutenant
General Ulysses S. Grant, newly COM
missioned in command of all the armies
| of the United States. The Washington
| authorities had finally come to the de-
cision that their immense plans of cam
paign should be put under one head for
execution. Such head must necessa--
rily be hard and stubborn one. 1t
rested, in the opinion Of Mr.. Lincoln
and Of others high in the Federal coun-
ellis OF war, upon the sturdy shoulders
Of the conqueror Of Vicksburg. Gen.
eral Grant was not addicted to high
military strategy, but for direct tactics
and plain fighting he was undoubtedly
a match for General Lee.
The first important vacancy now to
be filed in the Army of the Potomac
was that of commander of the cavalry
corps.
When Grant asked for chief of
cavalry Halleck suggested General
Philip Sheridan, who had served with
distinction under his own command in
the west and under Grant at Chat.

promptly adopted it. The general be-

not happen to be the case.
Personally Sheridan was not an i'm
posing figure. Short and slight, he
looked even younger than his age
which was just past thirty. He was
reticent In speech and manner and &c
a casual observer seemed lacking In

officers in the Federal service as Sum
