It was a venture niiiao niter uue consideration of nil the surroundings in our limited field at riattsinouth. And it v.vns made with the knowledge that we were to meet many annoying obfit.-iclcs. Our neighbor the J oil mil iirotested that the field here at I'lattsmouth was not large enough to support two, even small evening dailies and that the Journal having firtt entered the field, was en titled to occupy the same ex clusively. Wo duly considered this argutn 'tit and nt the request of many of our subscribers, concluded to enter the home market and honorably compete for our sharo of its support. We have succeeded beyond our expecta tions. Our paper h.u grown; our list lias steadily enlarged with staying sub scribe-!. s and although the year has been noted for local disturbances which has effected every branch of trade iu Platts mauth; and, although the 1Ii;ai.d has conic in for its share of censure from those who disapproved its course iu regard to these troubles, it has steadi ly followed the course it deemed honor able and correct upon principles, keeping, dways, in view the welfare of our city and the largest good of the largest body of our citizens. Tt has cost us many re grets to differ with good friends upon fpiestions of expediency; yet, there was for us but one honorable course to piu- .... .i sue aud that was tne one we coasiuereu best for riattsmouth city and correct up on principle; at the same tim?, we have been willing to concede honesty of pur pose upon the part of a large majority of those who differed with us. During this vcar our citv and the cat ire county of j - - j Cass, has steadily prospered despite the labor troubles. We have been blessed with a bountiful crop; we sec in the faces of our farmers aud merchants good cheer, caused Ly fair prices and fair prospects for the future. Our merchants have prospered and for a city of the sec ond class with a population of 8,000 aud upwards the record shows less business failures in Plattsmouth duriug the past ten years than any city in the stutc of Nebraska. Our public works are pro gressing satisfactonally; our system of sewerage and our paving for this year will soon be completed and Plattsm -uth City will,then in deed aud in fact assume the airs and appearance of a first-class city. The IIkkai.d rejoices at all this prosperity, shares it, promotes it, enjoys it, and promises its patrons during the coming year to strive only for the gener al good, knowing, full well, that in the building up of Plattsmouth and her bus iness interests lies the future prosperity and welfare of the 1Iekat., and on this our birthday we venture to cougratulate ourselves and our many good friends upon the prosperous condition iu which we find ourselves and our fair city. J.'J.'J.'JIW-"-' HA KIIISON'S ACCEPTANCE. 1 us niornuir uexkral Harrisons letter of acceptance appeared in the papers, but we have not the space to publish it in fu!. Thanking the convention for the honor conferred, and accepting the nomination Gexekai. Harrison at once takts up the great issue of the campaign. It is not, he savs, a contest between schedules, but between wide apart piiuciples. The as sault upon qnr protective system is open and defiant. Protection is assailed from different standpoints, but, says Oexekal Harrison, "those who hold such views sincerely cannot stophot t of an absolute elimination from our tariff laws of the principle of protection. The jJiUs bill is only a step, but it is. tQvvard an object that the leaders of democratic thought and legislation have clearly in mind" and that is ja act i'.al free trade. General. Harrison further deals with the surplus, taking the ground that those who h ive been instrumental iu forming it should not be permitted tQ use it as. a menace to effect public seniimi-T.t; w jth contrac' labor; v,ith immigration; wit1,! the Chinese (jUt-itSon declaring that the expression of the Chicago convention up on this subject are in entire harmony with his own views; with purity of the ballot; with the civil setvice; in short, with all the living issues of the day. and with all of which he deals directly and in unmi.itakeable terms. Tli3 letter is. a. statesmanlike aud a strong document. There is not a word in it but is in absolute harmony with the rcoord of the party and its platform of principles. It will not call for a read justment of lines anywhere, but will fatmigthrn the party in its chosen p' si; ticn, and be the signal for renewed effort. 0 Scud your job to the ilEB-H.p FLANKING "LITTLE PHIL THE MAN WHO CAME NEAR SPOIL ING SHERIDAN'S RIDE Tells I lie Confederate Sitlo of the Faiuoun Double Kitttlefleia of Odur Creek Uen. John It. (iunlon Throw New I.'glit on the Subject. From the following statement it appears that had the buttle been carried on according to Geu. Gordon's plan, even Sheridan himself could not have saved the day, though "he rodo from Winchester, twenty miles away." Gen. (j onion has Btill the look of a warrior who could prove an ugiy enemy on the bat tielleld, though this chat with him in the Gettysburg hotel demonstrated his affability and winning qualities when recounting to a former fco the strange chain of events of that wonderful day on the sinuous banks of Cedar creek. The old rebel loader was seated at table between (Jen. Daniel Ii. Sickles and Gen. Hunt, the well known chief of artillery of the Army of the Potomac. Kesponding to l,he salutation of The Herald representative, Jen. Gordon opened the way at once for con versation. "General, I am told that the splendid bit of strategy by which we were surprised on the morning of the 10th of October is to be wholly credited to you?" "Yes, the plan was mine wholly, and so was the conduct of the light up to a certain point. "For the time leing we wono neof the great victories of the war. livery detail of the movement was carefully planned, and for twelve hours it was supremely successful. I had gone the day before, Oct. IS, to the top of what is called Massanutten mountain, where w-e had a signal corps stationed, aud had taken observations through the field glasses. There was a magnificent bird's C3'e view. The Shenandoah was tho silver bar between us. On tho opjxjsite side of the river I could distinctly see the red cuffs of the artillerists. Why, I had so good a view that I could see the sore spots on the horses' backs in your camp. In front of the Belle Grove mansion I could seo members of Blioridan' stair (joining a"4 S''inST- I could not imagine better opportunity tor making out an ene my s position aim strength, i couiu even count the men who were thero. The camp was splendidly exposed to me. I marked the position of the guns and the pickets walking to and fro, and observed where the cavalry was placed. 'Jt flashed upon me instantly that the ex pecta: ion of Gen. Sheridan was that we would attack him on his right, which was the only place supposed possible for the ad vance of any army. His left was protected by the Shenandoah ; at this point the moun tain was very precinitqus, anil the river ran roun4 it- Tl'ere'was no road at all, and the point was guarded only by a mere cavalry picket. I saw our opportunity in an instant, and I told the oftieei-s present that if Gen. Early would permit me to move my corp; 1 was then commanding Ewcii corps) down to this point I touid get around tho mountain. Both sides believed this was impossible, but L felt sure that it could be done. My plan was to dismount our cavalry, attack Sheridan's cavalry whan, dismounted, and, keep thgni from moving. knew that u we couui do tiiis we wcukl gain a great victory." SlWhat were the details of your plan?" "There was a back road running from our position on Fisher's hill to tho Federal right, where the cavalry was posted'. I expected to. deceive tho Federals by I-ortja? Is atUiok. It would lJ claf k sLiil, and "they could not dis tinguish our dismounted cavalry from in- fantrv, and would believe that our main attack was there on their right. This would leave us free to operate around their left." "How did Gen. Early receir?. ypya pro posal?"' iiTlie plan was submitted, talked over, and filially substantially agreed upon. I took my command, having ordered them to leave their canteens, sabers and everything that could make a noise behind. I knew thr.t f.ur. only dependence was in absolute secrecy and in a complete surprise. After inspecting things' with my staff I found I could, gvt my men around the mountain by putting them in single file. I discovered still another place where the horses could be led, although the venture would be exceedingly dangerous. StiJl, tho expedition was essentially one of great peril, and more or less danger was of little consequence. " "How is it that the Union scouts had nevcf discovered this possibility of turning the eii at Cedar creek ?" "Well, tiarp men often leave a loophole in war, and, besides, Sheridan did not depend on shutting up this possible path, I suppose," replied Gen. Gordon. "You must remember, general, that Shet ir dan had issued orders which, had they been obeyed by the officer, coinriauding in his ab Fence, would have rendered your surprise im ossible." But taking t-hipga as they were, the sur prise was not only possible but actual, and we did what none of your people for a mo ment dreamed of as possible. Early in the night I began to move my men around the mountain. My object was to have them all ready for au attack before daylight in the morning. The movement took ail night. All through "the hours of dark -i;Vs; ' t'.ie' silent ligurcs moved to thell position near the sleeping enemy. An entir brigade of cavalry was moved in this way. and reached the point in about one and a hall hours in advance of the men. I instructed the cavalry that as soon as I got ready to move they were to proceed iu my frcul, l'asn ucro-H the river, opeq pn the cavalry piekets, and cap.t'iMjQ them, if possible. If they could not do this, they were to put their horses to full speed, ride right through the federal camp, firing their pistols to tho right and to the left as they passed through, and make directly for Sheridan's headquarters and cap ture him. At that time I did not know that Sheridan was absent and Wright in com mand. I had selected his house from the flags which floated from it, and the couriers who were constantly going in and out THROUGH THE FEDERAL. Clr-f "My orders wiie: 'Go right through the Federal camp with your command before daylight aud right to Gen. Sheridan's head quarters. ; Capture himF I told them not to try to take any prisoners, net to mind auy- straight toward Belle Grove. We, witu the uaafltrx, wG.mn .a.e caxu ui. waii wa.i.- Liflu. i knew very well that the little fight ing or capturing they could do w ould bo of little account compared, with tho prize tbey were expected to get."

Wo diil not press our advance. The enemy still had the Sixth corps in reserve, but we drove it back and captured a few of its pieces. That was the battle of Cedar Creek, and it was a complete victory." POSITION OK BOTH ARMIES. "You say you had gained a complete vic tory. What was the position of the two armies then?" "The Eighth corps was scattered to the winds, the Nineteenth curpa, after hard lighting, vvas routed and driven entirely out of their works, and we had possession of tho entire Federal position except a part of that held by the iixth corps. This corps had filed out by the left toward tho pike, and we had driven them back and forced them to a ridge just west of Middletown. We had the pike away along up to the edge of Middk-town, and our position was admirable every way." "What wtis ihe ical causo of tho halt in your progress.'" "1 will tell you, and there has bet-n a great deal of misunderstanding on this point. 1 saw t hat the enemy had a strong po- i but that it was the last one th"y i.t-.jd hoi I.

But Gen- Early said po; iuut the men had seen fighting enough, aud that we had won glory enough for one day. 'Very well, sir,' I replied; 'then I will return to my com mand.' Until then 1 had had charge of the entire movement on the right. 1 did return to my corps, aud Early carried on the bat tle. We followed up the Federals as they retreated. Out' men were tw much elated with their victory," To the question as to Early's personal con dition that morning Gen. Gordon gave no reply. "How- did the battle change?" "Everybody knows about how Sheridan reached the field in the nick of time, and how became thundering down f rom Winches ter, lie found his men scattered along the road iu terror stricken confusion, and he compelled them to turn about and follow him. He was a fury on horseback, dashing here and there among the flying soldiers and beating them back to the field of death which they had quitted. Meanwhile, the men who were retreating from the front bad W.-n brought to some sort of cjder. Then fol lowed one of the, extraordinary revers als i the history of any w ar. As soon as Sheridan reached the field he reformed his line and practiced upon us precisely the same movement which had demoralized his own forces in the morning. He just moved around our flank, swept down it and whipped us out oi existence. He broke our line ail to frag ments and routed the whole army absolutely. It was as thorough a defeat as I ever saw. The day had dawned upon victory and er-. ultation. It closed upon utter disfviiJ" and dejeciion. Two distinct Iwdties had been fought, and iu the fast we lost all that we h-J gained in the first one and all that we had before. The reaction was dramatic in, its suddeness and completeness, and when w left the field that evening the Confederacy had rttired from the Shenandoah.
