Fifty years ago today Gen. sheridan's .
cavalry command OF 1000 men crossed
the Pamunkey river at White House on
its return march from the vicinity Of
Richmond to the Army Of the Potomac.
sheridan's first great cavalry raid was
nearing an end. On May 8 he had left
the vicinity Of spottsyivanip Court House.
where Grants army was facing that Of
Lee. for the purpose Of cutting Lees rail-
road communication with Richmond and
drawing away from the scene OF hostili-
ties the cavalry force Of Gen. J. z. B.
Stuart, which was threatening the rear
Of the Federal army and its wagon
trains. He had met Stuart In battle at
Yellow Tavern, near Richmond. on May
II, and had defeated him. the Confed-
crate leader being mortally wounded.
After infiicting this heavy loss upon the
Confederacy-for Stuart was its foremost
cavalry general-Sheridan had kept on to
the outskirts of Richmond. Here he had
works, where he had become engaged.
but turning to the left he had skirted
the city. and without serious loss had
reached the James river At Haxalls Land
ing on May IL An attempt to capture
Richmond was not part of his program.
Sheridan had remained four days at the
James. resting his mommand, shoeing the
horses and receiving supplies from the
transports of Gen. B. F. Buffers army
of the James. then operating on the
south side Of the river.
Want of Faith In Butler.
The presence of Gen. Sheridan's COM
mand in proximity to Gen. Buffers army
of the James was to have an indirect,
but by no means inconsiderable infiu-
cnce upon succeeding events in the ca
reer of Gen. Butler and some Of his sub
ordinate officers.
On the day before Sheridan's arrival
at the James river Gen. Butler had en-
gagged in battle with Gen. Bauregard at
Drewry's Bluff. He had suffered heavy
loss. and had withdrawn from the field
to intrench himself at Bermuda Hun
dred.
Sheridan and his officers took a deep
interest In the situation Of Buffers army.
They believed that Gen. Grant had been
Influenced to entrust Gen. Butler with the
command on the James river by the
wishes OF President Lincoln They saw
that Gen. Butler was at loggerheads with
his corps commanders. Gen. w. F.
c"Baldy'D Smith and Gen. Quincy A.
Gilmore.
Both Gen. Sheridan and Gen. James II.
Wilson. one of his division commanders,
had served with Smith at Chattanooga.
where Wilson was on Grants stan and
Sheridan commanded a division of in
fantry--and they had formed a high
opinion of his abilities. As a result Of
their stay on the James Gen. Sheridan
andaGen. Wilson were deeply impressed
with the view that there should be
change in the command there without
delay. Each wrote his views to Gen.
Grant. They dispatched them by sep
arate couriers. feeling that no time
should be lost. Each recommended that
Gen. Butler be relieved of command and
that Gen. Smith be put in his place. Each
believed that IL this were not done dis
aster would follow.
BY the time this suggestion reached
Grant, he had received news of the re-

Men Prefer Small Towns.

A great deal s said and written about
the desirabiIity OF living in great cities
but as a matter of fact there are no
such things simply because men will
not live in them. Even a great city is
but a union OF communities like this.
London, the largest city in the world,
grew out of a collection of villages that
still retain much of their old Identities,
Investigate Chicago or New York or and
other great city and you will find that.
while men will handle within a small
area for purpose of business, they insist
on getting out into the suburbs or into
independent residential sections for the
purpose OF living.
Now. living Is the most important bus
mess that a man has TO do. He picks
out a place for IL with the same care
that be picks out location for a fac
tory. a store or an Office, and whenever
