FROM WINCHESTER ,
Correspondence Cincinnati ! Commercial.
WINCH KSTKU , VA. , August , 1881.
The much-captured ( own of AVin *
Chester Ins changed but little since
the days duriim the war when seine
of its oljlor citizens amused themselves
by innking beta which _ side , Uol > or
Yank ahould occupy it iutho evening.
An old citizen told me he could enum
erate no less than twenty-seven times
when the town changed hands.
Around or near it were fought n half-
sooio of battles , and at least 100 skir-
niishi's. The most severe of all these
eng.\'ements was culled sometimes
\Vinchesterbut properly should
go into history na the battle of Ope-
quan , fought on the 10th of Septem
ber , between Shciidan and K.irly. 1
had intended to visit first the scene of
the bloody contest at Kernstown. be
tween Shields and Stonewall .laekson ,
but as by lirst visiting the battle-field
of Opequan'1 would have the advan
tage of thu company of n former I'n-
ion stall'ollicer , who knew all llm
Federal positions ( already having
made myself familiar with the Hobel
positions ) 1 concluded to accept his
oiler t'o go with mo before he should
leave on the morrow. First we rode
in the direction of Opcquaii creek t < >
thu point whore Wilson's Union divis
ion ol cavalry ixttacked the Rebel skir
mish line , early in the morning , and
made "old .lural" aware that the
dashing Sheridan was knocking at his
doors. I must confess that wo were
somewhat disappointed , after a care
ful examination , to find none of those
evidences of terrible conflict BO min
utely described by some correspon
dents. Yet this was where the Union
left and Rebel right fought for hours
with persistent courage. After a care
ful survey and viewing the animating
prospect around uswo had to say that
no one could imagine that this scene
of placid beauty had ever been mar
red by the ] iron heel of war. A doni-
. of n cabin not far Irom the ford
told us that if wo could get the keep
er of the military cemetery to como
with us ho could point out many
marks yet left of the conflict , and wo
did afterward find without such as
sistance , mpio towards the Union
center and right , whuro artillery had
been J freely used , nnd whcro the in
fantry had closed ' in the fierce conflict ,
indisputable'evidences of the dread
scenes here enacted. These \\illbo
hereafter noted. When old Jubal ,
who had been threshing around the
valley for some time , like the tradi
tional bull in a , china shop , awoke to
"ho fact that Sheridan was by no
means "twenty miles away , " ono of
his : orderlies , who bore the nnmo of
the father of his country , told mo
that "the old man just got up and
made the air blue with his character
istic expletives. " And indeed ho had
occasion to , for ho was placed in a
very awkward position. A short time
before ) lie had detached a force which ,
had completely defeated a Union
force near Bunker Hill. 1 have no t r
history of the war by me , and do not
remember distinctly that the gallant
Colonel Mulligan , of the Twenty-
third Illinois , was killed in the en
gagement ; the same Mulligan who dis
tinguished himself by his obstinate
defense of Lexington , Missouri ,
against Price's ragged legions , iirlSKl.
But ns Sheridan seemed quiet , Early
annoyed by Aycrcll's presence upon
his loft flank , determined to deal him
similar blow. So this particular
morning ' of the 19th of September , : [ >
18(54 ( , found him with n largo part of
iiis army away off to his loft , engaged ;
in i the pursuit of this ( from "Old
Jubal'a" stand point ) laudable occu
pation. "With many an objurgation
I ] speak by the carl [ ) staff officers and ;
ouriers , one after another , were dis-
iiatched aftc'r his scattered forces. ,
The Opequan , at the point whcro :
nest ol the battle was fought , is a
bright , rapid stream , easily fordable
it most points. It runs about two
miles east of Winchester , in a north
erly direction. Behind it , on that
morning , when Wilson woke him up ,
Early had only ono division of infan
try , Wharton's , I think , and Fitz :
Hugh I.oo's cavalry , not more than
t,500 men. Upon this small body Bj
ivas now advancing the Sixth , Eigh titl
teenth .ind Nineteenth corps , and tlre
Wilson's and Morritt's cavalry. Your rea
readers can therefore well imagine reni
that Early had good reason to bo ni
ilarmed. Whatever his faults the 01m
nan was n true soldier , and by the 01Si
greatest exertions before anything Si
ike the full force of Sheridan's at tlst
tack fell on him , ho brought up his stm
ivholo command and formed it in line stm
f battle between Opequan Creek and m
ihis place. I will not , however , do- tl
ail the history of the battle ; the re I"
mit was very doubtful until about < i cidi
'clock , when Sheridan brought almost di
lis whola cavalry force over to the diK ;
ight , and by ono grand charge eom- fnm
jlctoly won the victory. fnT
The colonel proposed wo should T
litch our horses at the cabin aforo- m
laid , and proceed to follow the Union fr
ino of battle , as near as ho could re- ccOl :
nomber , from left to right. In about Ol
udf an hour wo both got lost , for fl
hero was absolutely nothing to toll of fl
vhat had occurred some 17 years ago. clVI
'Wo must have a local guide , " I SUIT- VI
jested , and ns there wns a house near le
jy wo went up to it. An honest , tlE
uddy-looking fnrmor , after calling E
lis do < fs off , from smelling uruund oiir -0
egs unpleasantly , met us. iu
"Well , " said the colonel , "my a >
'riond , how did you faro here thu
'earful 1'Jth of September , at this m
louse , for ns well I remember it was lo
ho focus of the rebel artillery lire , it
m that hot day ? " tlw
" 0' , I was up in Pennsylvania w
vorking on a farm then , " said thu tli ta
'armor , laughing. "I was not both-
in
iring my head about shooting nnd n
villing people. " >
Thjs was too much hot , and tired ,
ind seeking information , nnd to bj
hot in this way ! Hi
"I expect ho was in Canada , " said hiTl
ho colonel , crossly. Seeing we were Tl
lisappointed , the fanner said : nibl
"I can show you where Sheridan bl
during the battle. "
u can t do any such thing , " said )
ho colonel , "no mortal man can show thFi
vhero Sheridan stood dining n battle. Fi
iVhy , man , lie novcr did stand still ;
lntt'a blasted , nonsense , "
I inquired whether A. H. ; a former
'riond of mine , otill lived in thenoiuh- th
orhood , and was informed that he thw !
vas still living near hero. CO
Just then the discustpd colonel no- ul
.iced a contraband-passing by. "See I'l
icro , uncleM ho shouted , "can you III ru
ihow ua any marks on the trees ; ' can 91 >
you show n * any war marked stumps ;
can you Jiiui any skull bones , or any
graves ( o oho\v that n great Kit tip was
fought heroi1"
" Fore CJod , MI.-L.VJU , do raini and do

as to do stumps , I can't tell thu fo' do
war one's from dose nmdo during the

"I'll swear , " said the colonel , ex
citedly , "theso bourbons Imvioi t even
learned to lie in the now stylo. You
numbskull , can't you show IH any
thing lo piove that a big b.itilo v.us
fought horoi"
' 1 ho negro rolled his eyes solemnly
nnd said : "Yos , niassa , 1 can.
Wo followed him , and amidst the
woods , and in thu fields , \ \ lu < re it
seemed to me the weeds grow with
special rankness , he pointed -nil place
after place , whcro on the .day after the
battle , hundreds upon hundii'ds hid :
been hurriedly laid away to their Dual
rest. Unconsciously , ns ho pointed
to where , in his quaint negro dialect ,
"Mo1 'n n hundred men'whoto , names
wore not known , in ono long tiench
hastily buried , had : i few years ago
been dug up , wo found ourselves
standing with heads uncovered , How
many tears had been shed , how many
heaits still ached , for those who hail
been hastily thrown into these woodland -
land graves.
We paid our humble servitor and
went back to the road , and then 1 beheld -
held A. H. ( ho says ho will murder
1110 if his name appears in print > riding -
ing along. I hailed him. 1 was
nw.ire that ho knew all about the
country , and eagerly demanded ho
should go with us. Ho could nut to
day , but the Colonel was going to
leave this evening. "I can't help it.
I could show you the very place where
Sheridan's hoadquartcni were. I
could show you just where tlio squad-
rona formed on the right which made
the decisive charge , but not to-day.
I am going lo Winchester. I want to
got in ) ' mail and T want to see how
our president is goltini ; on. ] was a
robe ) . I didn't vote for him , but 1
am just as anxious about him as if ho
was my own brother. " '
So wo had to give it up , and getting
on our horses wo joined him. "Jill
give you war talk , but mi Bliowhi : ; battle
tlo grounds to-day. "
"A. II. , where were you the 1'Jth
of September ? "
A. JI. responded in his usual em
phatic manner , intimating that your
correspondent knew exactly , for that
C. 0. ( Commercial correspondent ) was
with him. Whether true or false , at :
last we got A. II. , to give his adven
tures on the liHh of September , 18(51 ( , [
so far as applicable to the battle of
Opequan.
. "That morning , in company with a
mixed crowd of cavalrymnu on the
way to join their respective com
mands , I was marching in the direc
tion . of Winchester , to the Bound of
the cannon , I was about to say , but
this ; would not bp strictly true , for
from some condition of the atmos
phere wo did not hear the booming of
artillery until 12 o'clock , although it
had been going OIK continuously all
morning. Soon after wo lirat heard
it , the horse of one of our comrades
gave out , and as wo have never seen
him nor his horse since , we judged
they both died from mysterious dia-
ease. Not until wo came near Kerns-
town did wo BOO any evidence of the
battle. Hero wo met a largo squad
f 'Ttoys in Uluo' prisoneis , oping
lurried up the Valley pike. 'Whatis
ho news ? 'Oh , all right ; Old .lubal's
jiving the Yanks'particular h 1 ! ' J
judge'it was about . ' 5 o'clock , or per-
mps more , just as wo were about gob
ing into Kornstown , when wo mot
mite a number of ambulances and an-
ither . squad of prisoners. 'What's
ho news ? " 'Old Jubal'a giving them
mother Monocacy,1 was the answer ,
oforring to the defeat of ( Jon. Low.
Wallace by Early earlier in the cam-
i.iign. :
p
"As all seemed going well wo rest-
id , and Bomo of our squad conversed "
rith the wounded , most of them olli-
era , who seemed quite cheerful. As
ve approached Winchester wo saw a
tight after which I took no note of
imo that made a flmngo como o'er
liu spirit of our dreams. ' Down the t
end , through the fields came dashing >
mass of cavalry , without guidance
ind without reason By getting out
in the right hand side of the road wo
nannged to escape being run over.
50011 they came through the fields on
he right sida. Dob. Y managed to
itop ono of'them. ' 'What the matter

ho lower regions for a mile , ' 'I sup-
oso'said Jiob , 'your regiment is all

lignant glare and answered : "Yon if

irst year of the war ! ' and the limn

Hie booming of artillery still coiitin-

Vosterday was visiting-day at the
county jail , and the number of per
sons who applied to sec relatives or
friends who weio incarcerated was
larger than had been known for some
time. The crowd had been surging
to and fro for an hour or two , when ]
it lady walked in , and said to Turkey
Birnbaum : I want to BUO Hekort , who
is charged with killing Mr. Seogera. "
Mr. IHrnbaum understood the woman
to s.iy that Eckert was her brother ,
nnd without moro than turning from
his dusk shouted out lo thu guard in
Utendiuico , "Call out No. ! ) , " mean-
in' , ' the number of the cell in which
Hckcrt was confined. The woman
moved up to the lattice-work , through
which the prisoners converse with
Lheir friends. Presently Eckart came
lo\rn , and the moment ho reached
the 'owoi-sti'p the woman , pulling a
iistol from the folds of lior dress ,
shrieked out , "You killed my brother
ind I'll kill you. " She had cocked
Ihc piatol and thrust the muw.lo al
most through the iron grating. She
pulled the trigger and down came the
liammer , foitunatoly on an empty
sylindor. The weapon was a thirty-
Dight calibre , of Smith t Wesson's
make , and had live loaded barrels ,
mly ono being empty. On this the
Hie hammer fell. Jliul it not some
DUO would have been injured or
killed. When ho heard the scream
ind the click of the pistol , Mr Him-
banm jumped up , and with ono
bound got to the woman and grubbed
her arm. * At the same time Jake
Kelly , the superintendent of the
court-house , who happened to bo
present , caught her around the waist.
After a pretty stout tussle , the
woman was disarmed , and an cxplan-
itiou asked. She said who was the
wife of John McGranahan and a sister
uf the deceased , Henry 'Seogors.
She said lliafc Eckort had killed her
brother , and she was bound to kill
liim. She said that she might not he
iblo to do it this week or next , but
that she would finally succeed. S
U'hilo Mr. Birnbaum was indeavoring
io disharm the woman , Eckort ran
ipatairs , and ton minutes later was
iotiud cowering near his cell with n
ace completely blanched Mrs. Me
3ranalmn > vas detained for a short
.
.into , and then sent homo in charge
jf her brother-in-law , T. J. McGran-
ilian , the well-known constable of the
rwenty-sccond Ward. Subsequently
ler husband called at the jail and
ukcd for the pistol , ho claiming that
belonged to him , His request was ,
t course , refused. Hu stated lo Mr.
iSirnbaum that his wife had shown
ligns of brain afl'ectipn for some time ,
ind that ho was afraid the killing of
icr brother had brought on temporary
lomontia. Ho promised to see that
iho was kept quiet , and consequently
10 order for arrest was issued.
