und where, but a little while before, Post's assault had been repulsed, the same troops now charged with resistless force, capturing fourteen guns and one thousand prisoners. Steedman's colored brigades also rallied and brought in their share of prisoners and other spoils of war. Everywhere the success was complete. Foremost among the rejoicing victors was General Steedman, under whose command were the colored troops. Steedman had been a life-long Democrat and was one of the delegates, in 1860, to the Charleston convention, at which ultimately Breckinridge was nominated for President. As he rode over the field, immediately after the rout of the enemy, he asked, with a grim smile, as he pointed to the fleeing hosts, I wonder what my Democratic friends over there would think of me if they knew I was fighting them with nigger troops? I have not space to tell the story of the pursuit, which only ended, ten days later, at the Tennessee River. About a month before, General Hood had

d Winchester, under the impression that the enemy was being forced back toward that place, and he did not reach me. When he ascertained the reverse which had taken place in the latter part of the day, he retired up the Luray Valley to his former position at Millford, without molestation. My loss in the battle of Cedar Creek was twenty-three pieces of artillery, some ordnance and medical wagons and ambulances, which had been carried to the front for the use of the troops on the field; about 1860 in killed and wounded, and something over 1000 prisoners. Sheridan's loss in this battle was 644 killed, 3430 wounded, 1591 captured or missing,--aggregate, 5665. Early's was about 3000.--editors.

foot-note, p. 524.] According to Early's official report the losses in killed and wounded from September 1st to October 1st were 291 killed and 2023 wounded = 2314. The loss (including the missing) of the infantry and artillery at the Opequon is stated at 3611. At Fisher's Hill the infantry and artillery lost 30 killed, 210 wounded, and 995 missing = 1235. At Cedar Creek 700 or 800 were killed and wounded. In his Memoir, p. 112, General Early says that his losses at Cedar Creek were about 1860 in killed and wounded and something over 1000 prisoners. Colonel B. W. Crowninshield, who was provost-marshal of Sheridan's command, says in his Cedar Creek, that he had on his books, record of 7000 unwounded prisoners who were soldiers, and Colonel E. B. Parsons, who succeeded Crowninshield as provost-marshal, reported about 13,000 Confederate prisoners received by him from August 1st, 1864, to March 1st, 1865. This statement is denied by General Early, who says ( Memoir, p. 118): My los
