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. ADVERTISING RATES AND RULES.
