wounding several men and horses.
This caused Custer to halt and throw
out flankers In order that he might
discover our strength. When Breath-
ed reached the hill where the other
batteries had assembled he had the
guns put in position, dismounted men
and wagon drivers formed In line on
this hill, presenting such a bold front
that Custer believed we had a large
force. He halted, hesitated, and re
treated. Breathed and a lot of his men
armed with all kinds of ancient and
useless firearms that would have
done credit to Falstaff'a army, fol
lowed them until they disappeared
into Madison ourthouse. Thus did
that great federal cavalry leader, Ma
jo General George H. Custer, fail In
his attempt to cripple Gen. R. E.
Lee's line of communication and de
stroy the army supplies -thatwere
stored in Charlottesville, allowing six
guns of the Stuart Horse Artillery
and an imaginary force ot infantry
that was being unloaded at Chariot

think not. Read the history of his
campaigns and note a single in
stance in which he ever changed his
course when once he had mapped out
his route. We lost In the whole bat
talion two men and eight mules that
were 1 nthe field, and could not be
caught. We lost all of our personal
effects and tents, also a forge in con
sequence of being unable to catch the
mules.
I do not think that the raiders did
any harm in the neighborhood. . For
the achievements of Breathed and his
battery, the dear ladies of Charlottes-1
vllle presented them with a hand
some silk flag. I was a loser in a pan
of lightbread that I had made that
morning, and fully expected to eat
for supper; but man proposed and
God disposes, was beautifuly exem
plified in my case.. Stuart reached us
about the time Custer was going into
Madison county. It began to rain
about dark, one of those cold, freez
ing March rains, that would make a
fellow as if he wished the Yankees
were in the infernal regions and I in

into sleet. I do not remember ever
having experienced a more disagree-

Breathed, with a few of his cannon
eers, bluff him and keep back the
best cavalry brigade In the army of
the Potomac. One of Custer's regi
ments, the Fifth Michigan Cavalry,
was commanded by Colonel Russell

embalmed beef fame. General Custer
in his report uses the following lan
guage that does not bear a particle of
truth upon the face of it:

enemy's right flank. Captain Ash
drove the enemy back very gallant

caissons, filled with ammunition, two
forges and harness 'complete, besides
destroying the camp of the enemy.

the Sixth Ohio, and Battery E, First

good-by to many friends, nevermore
to look on that spot again) to the
