COMTEK'S CHIVALRY DURING
THE WAR-
Alexandria (Vs.) Sentinel ]
The fate of General Custer has
brought vividly to mind a circumstance
Connected with that weary and severe
campaign which commencing the upper
Rupid.m in the Spring of ISfi'v.streteh
cd out in one long, sweeping battlefield
around through the jungles of the Wil
derness. the s'ashes of Hanover, the
pines of the Peninsular and th" Din
widdle forests, up to the Amelia. Farm-
ville and AppoumtoX. When active
movements commenced in May, -864.
and Grant had commenced his swing to
the left. Lee facing him in a p trailed
arc. with Richmond as the object of
uncovering to one, »nd of protecting to
the other, the first few days were signa
lized by some of the closest cavalry
fights of the war. Grant’s cavalry had
been thoroughly reorganized, and under
Sheridan, with such lieutenants as Cus
ter. Torbert and Wilson, was a for
midable body. The Confederate caval
ry, too. was in the flower of its strength
and confidence. Each was feeling for
enemy's line in the dense forests of
Spotsylvania, and frequently sudden
encounters were the resu t. In one of
these a regiment of Rosser’s command
became suddenly engaged with a por>
tion of that of Custer, at very close
quarters, necessitating a charge through
a narrow open space, up to the edge of
a wood in which Custer’s men were
p:>sted. and from which, being nearly
protected by a fence they delivered a
destructive fire, which with their
visible knowledge, of their enemy's su
perior position and strength, made the
Virginiam falter. Rosser as was his
wont, dashed into the open field to ral
ly them. Of commanding and striking
figure, he did not dream that over that
line of foes directing and controlling
their fire, fiashod an ey^ like Mars to
cnniuif.nd. but impressive as a woman’s
to the elaiuis of friendship and which
even in the moment of bloody strife,
recognizing him as an old friend of
West Point, wat beaming upon him in
kindness and love. Th- re was many a
horseman who wondered that day why
the enemy’s fire so suddenly ceased,
when Rosser, recognizing the useless*
ness of a further attack, withdrew his
men. Rut the next day, as they kept
moving by the flank, following the
Federal cavalry and the line of the
“swing” a fanner whose house they
passed handed a Confederate trooper a
note addressed to General f. L. Rosser,
which had been left with him by a
Federal officer. The note was deliver
ed as addressed, and read somewhat
thus:
Dear qThe name used was the
old fauiilliar nickname of West Point,
not now remembered by this writer.]
You expose yourself too much on the
field old follow. 1 recognized you yes
terday. and with difficulty saved your
life by stopping my tire. Don't do so
again, but life to laugh over old times
after th . war with your friend.
G. A. Custer.
P. S—T whipped Fitz Lee on Wed
nesday, and intend to gi ,-u you a good
dressing the first chance I get in a lair
field.
As Rosser rode along, at the head of
his column of bold riders in gray, his
dark face ighted with a pleasant smile
as he read the letter, and he broke into
a hearty laugh when he reached the
postscript, remarking that “Fannie ’
(the nickname given Custer by his
comrades for his fair complexion and
waving Hond hair) always was a good
fellow but a little t-*o fond of bragging
Yet he came near making good his in
tention a short time after, when he
made a gallant dash through Rosser's
line at Trevillian’s stati-n, and im
pressed the Confederate boys with the
belief that he was the most spirited
•leader of their enemies.
A St. Louis special says that it is un
derstood the President has really pardon
ed Avery. If this be so, the release of
McKee, Maguire and the other whiskey
thieves is, of course, only the matter of a
few days.
The Philadelphia Chronicle says.- Af
ter a few lessons faom Mr. Morton, Hayes
will flauntthe “bloody shirt” as vigorous
ly and gracefully as the best of them. But
then the people are hungering for peace
and prosperity, not for strife and dull
times.
