Battle of Winchostor.
[From Knrty's History iff the Lust Year of lint War.]
At light on the mornitt’; «»f tint I Dili September
our cavalry picket* nl llto crossing til llio Opequon
on the Kerryvillo roml were driven in, ami informa
tion having boon sent mo of tlio fuel, I iminodiato-
ly ordered all tho troop* at Stephenson'* lo ho In
readmes* lo move, direction* bolug given for Gor

once, hut, hy homo ntielitku on tho part ol tuy Hlnff

inridgo or Gordon I r«do at onoo to ltainsour'* po
sition, and found his troops in lino across tho Horry-
villo road, skirmishing with Iho onetny lloforo
ruaehing this point, 1 had ascertained that Gordon
was not moving, and sent hack for hitu, ami now din-
covering that tho enemy’s udvttneo was a real ono
and in heavy fotvo, 1 sent orders for Hrcckinrhlgo and
Rode* to inovo up as rapidly as possible. Tho posi
tion occupied l»y Rum-cur was about ono milo tutd
a half from Winchester, on an elevated plateau bo-
tweou Almthatn’s Creek and Red Hud Run Abra
ham's Creek crosses tho Valley Pike ono milo south
of Winchostor, and then crosses tho Front Royal
rovl about the satno distance southeast of tho town,
nud running cuslwardly, on tho southern side of tho
lferryville road, crosses that road a short distanco
before it empties into tlio Opequon. Rod Hud Run
crosses the Marlinsburg road about a milo and a
half north of Winchester, and runs custwardly, on
tho northern sido of tho Hurry villo rond to tho
Opequon.
Katusottr was thoroforo iu tho obtuso anglo formed
by tho Martinsburg and 1'iout Royal roads. In
front and to tho right t>f hint, for some distance, tho
country was open. Abraham's Crock runs through
a deep valley, and beyond it, on tho right, is high
o|hmi ground, at tho intersection of tho Front Royal
and Millwood roads. To Rumseur's 'oft tho country
sloped olT to tho Red Hud, and thcro woro sotuo
patches of wood which afforded cover for troops.
To tho north of tho Red Hud tho country is vory
open, affording facilities for tho movement of any
kind of troops' Towards tho Opequon, on tho front,
tho llorryvillo road runs through a ravine with hills
and woods on each side, which on-tided tho onemy
to uiovo his troo|>s under cover, utid mask them out
of range of artillery. Nelson's artillory was posted
on Rumseur's lino covering tho approaches ns far os
practicable, und Lomax with Jackson's cavalry, and
part of Johnson's, was on tho right watebiug tho
valley of Abraham’s Creek and tho Front lloya
road beyond, whilo Fit* Leo was on tho loft, across
tho Rod Hud, with his cavalry and a buttery of horao
artillery, and a detachment of Johnson's ctvulry
watched tho interval between Rumseur's left and tho
Red Bud. Tbcso troops held tho onomy’s main
forco In chock until Gordon’s and Kudos' divisions
nrrivod from Stephenson's depot. Gordon's division
arrived first, a little after tou o'clock A. M , and was
placed under cover in rear of a pioco of woods bo-
hind tho interval between Rumseur's lino and tho
lied Bud, tho detachments of Johnson's cavalry
having boon removed to tho right.
Knowing that it would not uo for us to awnit tho
shock of tho enemy's attack, Gordon was dircctod to
into Crook advanced ngtinstour loft, and Gordon
throw Keans' brigade into line to moot him, hut tho
disorder in tlio front lino hcusino so groat that, lif
ter an obstinate resistance, that brigade was com-
polled to rotiro also.
Tho-wholo front lino had now given way, hut a
largo iMtrlion of tho men woro rallied and fonnod
behind an imlifforont lino of breastworks, which hud
boon made just nutsido of Winchostor during the
first year of tho war, and, with tlio aid id tho artil

into our bands.
A skillful and onergotio commander of tho eno-
y’s forcos would havo crushod Kuuisour befuro any
a.s?i?tanco could hnve reached him, uud thus insured
tho destruction of my wholo forco; nnd, Inter iu tho
day, whon tho battlo had turned against us, with tho
immense superiority in cavalry which .Sheridan had,
nn-l tho advantage of Iho open country, would havo
destroyed my wholo forco nud captured ovorything
I had. As it was, considering tho immonso dispari
ty in numbers and equipment, tho onomy had vory
liitlo to boast of. I had lost a fow pioces of artillory
nnd sorno very valuable officers and men, but tho
main part of my forco and nil tuy trains bnd boon
saved, and lho ouomy's loss in killed nnd woundod
was far greater than mino. Whon I look back to
this bnttlo, I can but attributo my osenpo from uttor
annihilation to tho incapacity of my opponent.*
•Tho onomy lias called this battlo "Tho Battlo of
tho Opequon," but I know no claim it has to that ti
tle. unloss it bo in tho fact that, after tho ropulso in
tho forepart of tho day, sotuo ot his troops ran back
across that stream 1 have nlways thought that, in
stead of being promoted, Sheridan ought to havo
boon cashiered lor this battle, lie scorns to bo a
sort of pot of Grant’s, nnd I give tho following ex
tracts from tho report of tho int'or to show tho
strange inconsistency of which ho is guilty to mag
nify 8ltcri(]un's services^ In his Monocacy loiter to
liunti-r. Grant says : "From Hnrpor's Ferry, if it Is
found that tho onomy has inovo-1 north of the Poto
mac in largo forco, push north, following him and
attacking him wherever found; follow him, if driven
south of tho Potomac, as long as it is safe to do so.
If it is ascertained that tho onemy bus but a small
forco north of tho Potomac then push south with
tho main forco, detaching under a competent com
mander a sufficient forco to look nftor tho raiders
und drivo thorn to their homes." An-1 further on in
tho sumo letter, ho says : “Boar in min i tho object
is to drive tho onomy south, and to do this you want
to keen him nlways in sight. Bo guided in your
course by lho course ho takes."
When Sheridan relieved Hunter, this lottor of in
struction was ordered to bo turned over to him, nnd
two divisions of cavalry subsequently joined him;
yot Grant says in regard to Shoridan's operations i
“His operations during tho month of August and
tlio forepart of September, wore both of an offonsivo
and defonsivo character, resulting in many sovoro
skirmishes, principally by tho cavalry in which wo
woro gotiorally successful, but no gcnorul engage
ment took plnco. Tho two armies lay in such a po
sition, lho enemy on tho west bank of tho Opequon
Crock covering Winchester, and our forces in tront
of Borryvillo—that oither could bring on a battlo at
any timo. Dofeat to us would open to tho onomy
tho .States of Maryland and Pennsylvania for long
distances boforo another army could bo interposed to
chock him. Under theso circumstances, I hesitated
about allowing the initiative to bo taken. Finally
tho use of tho Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and tho
Cbosapuako and Ohio Canal, which woro both ob
structed by tho onoiuy,becutuo ro indispensably neces
sary to us, and tbo importance of roliovlng Pennsylva
nia and Maryland from continuously threatened in
vasion so great But fearing to telegraph the ordor
for an attack without knowing more than I did of
Gen. Shoridan’s toolings ns to what would bo tho
proh ildo result, I loft City Point on tho loth of Sop-
tombor lo visit him at his headquarters, to docido
nftor confuroncn[witli him what should bo done. I
mot him ut Cii irlcslown, and lie pointed out so di
rectly how each army lay, wlnil ho could do tho mo
ment ho was ifitlioiized. and oxprcMud such confi
dence of succors, that I saw there wero but two
words of instruction necessary—go in."
In tho lot or to Hunter thoro is no hesitation
about tho initiu'ive, mid yot. notwithstanding this
lottor was turned ovor to Sheridan for his guidance,
