Sturgess, commanded the cavalry at the battle of Springfield, and was promoted to a Generalship, on the strength of his own account of the prodigies of valor which he performed in that battle. The miserable braggart was never in the battle at all, and was the first to lead the retreat. The other, Gen.

He has appointed and commissioned, with
