We soon reached the advanced lines, and there we met General Sheridan, who had apparently been spending the night in a large frame building whic There was a large body of horse in an adjoining open piece of wood, and as Sheridan rode up, they were advanced in line. Some one remarked to us, Now, boys, you are going to see something grand. A man near me said it was Sheridan who spoke. The infantry, of which there seemed to be a pretty good sprinkling around, jeered th rapidly with the fugitives, to prevent being recaptured. I was told that General Sheridan was not only repelled, but that he lost two guns in five minutes. This is also written elsewhere, but General Sheridan says nothing about it in his account of the last affair at Appomattox.—Nor does he speak of having met me. Before we h

Lee at Appomattox. I saw him last at Appomattox, but not after the surrender. It was just before he moved out against Sheridan and Ord's troops and his manner was in no wise different from what it had always been.

These officers and men and two handsome brass guns were wrested from the elated and victorious command of General Phil. Sheridan, in spite of their exultation and our depression. We all hope that every surviving comrade will aid Major Nash in his arduous task and communicate freely with him at Atlanta, Ga., with facts and incidents of the camp and field, of the

As late as February, 1865, he liberated the Medical Inspector of General Sheridan's army.
