the other. He brought back with him 105 prison- 

 er* and his own corps entire (save one man), and. nt 

 the same time, information that enabled Lee to 

 make a snccessful assault on tlio 1'niun right wing 

 at Gaines' Mill on the 27th. For this brilliant 

 achievement and his services in the Seven Days' tight 

 he was in July though not yet 30 years o'f age- 

 promoted to major-general. Soon thereafter ho 

 inarched north to snpport "Stonewall" Jackson in 

 his operations against Gen. Jolin Pope, then in com- 

 mand of the Army of Virginia. On Aug. 22 he 

 crossed the Rappahannoek, penetrated Pope's en- 

 campment at Catlett's Station, captured his dcspatch- 

 book and baggage, and made prisoners of several 

 officers of his staff. Two days later he was ranking 

 officer in the attack on Manassas Junction, and sent 

 into the town a brigade of infantry, under Brig. -Gen. 

 Trimble, that made many prisoners and captured 

 valuable stores. At the second Bull Run iight h>> 

 rendered important service by guiding Longstreet 

 to an effective junction with Jackson that resulted 

 in Pope's army being driven back upon Washington. 

 In the ensuing Maryland campaign he led the ad- 

 vance of Jackson's corps, and rendered efficient ser- 

 vice at South Mountain and Antietam. Next Octo- 

 ber (9-12) he made a daring raid across the Potomac, 

 at the head of 1800 picked troops, on Chambersburg, 

 Pa., where he destroyed property to the value of 

 $250,000 and carried off much booty, the entire 

 cavalry force of the Army of tho Potomac being 

 wearied ont in pursuing him. He took part in tho 

 battle of Fredericksbnrg, being on guard on the ex- 

 treme left of the Confederate line. His next note- 

 worthy exploit was a raid on Dumfries, in which, 

 by means of spurious telegrams to Washington, ho 

 learned the movements in contemplation by the 

 leaders of the Union forces. In March, 1803, a por- 

 tion of his force was successfully attacked at Kelly's 

 Ford by the National cavalry under Gen. Averell. 

 At the battle of Chancellorsville his cavalry covered 

 " Stonewall " Jackson's advance to the right of tho 

 Union line, and when that distinguished soldier fell, 

 mortally wounded, the command of his corps de- 

 volved temporarily on Stuart, who not only extri- 

 cated it from the critical position into which it had 

 been carried in the darkness, but next day renewed 

 the attack, and, pushing onward, joined the right 

 wing under Lee at Chancellorsville, then abandoned 

 by Hooker. In the succeeding Gettysburg cam- 

 paign he was sent forward to guard the flanks of 

 Lee's advancing columns, and had several encoun- 

 ters with the enemy, with varying success, as at 

 Fleet wood Hill, Stevensburg, Aldie, Middleburg, 

 and Upperville. At the passage of the Potomac lie re- 

 ceived permission to repeat his favorite tactical move- 

 ment of passing behind the enemy's rear, and ac- 

 cordingly crossed the river between the Union army 

 and Washington. The detour was wider than had 

 been calculated on, and he did not reach Gettysburg 

 till the evening of the second day of that eventful 

 conflict (July 2), and so was in time only to take 

 part in the closing struggle and to cover tho rear of 

 the retiring Confederates by guarding the paps of 

 the mountains. This raid, which deprived Lee of 

 his cavalry at a most important crisis for the South- 

 ern cause, has been much criticised, the responsi- 

 bility for it being especially the subject of contro- 

 versy. When the Confederates lay intrenched on 

 the northern bank of the Potomac, Stuart's cavalry 

 had many conflicts with those of Gens. Judson Kirk- 

 patrick and John Bnford. as well as, later in tho 

 Kuiniiicr. with those of the above generals and of 

 Gens. Alfred Pleasonton and Henrv E. Davies, when 

 holding the line of the Rappahannnck. When 

 Grant entered the Wilderness in May, 1864, his chief 

 of cavalry, Philip H. Sheridan, at the head of 12,- 

 000 troopers, advanced on Richmond. Stuart in- 



stantly hurried to interpose between him and tho 

 city, concentrating his force at Yellow Tavern. 

 Here a desperately contested light tool; place, in 

 which (len. Stuart was mortally wounded and his 

 men routed. He died at Richmond, May I 1 .', 18C4. 

 'I ill .Sheridan came on the Held to contest the palm 

 with him, Stuart was undoubtedly the fin 

 airy commander in either army. The novelty, bold- 

 ness, and rapidity of his movements in a word, their 

 dash and brilliancy combined with their general 

 success, invested hint with a halo of roinaiiee. and 

 brought him to bo regarded as the Rupert of tho 



South. (j. H.) 



STUART, MOSES (1780-1802), Hebraist and Bibli- 

 eal theologian, was born at Wilton, Conn., March 26, 

 178(1. At twelve he read Edwards on The Freedom <if

 largely by his own hands, and previously used in 

 MS. by his students, who copied the sheets as fast 

 as he wrote them. Though many lamented his 

 withdrawal from the pulpit, he was invaluable in tho 

 professor's chair, which ho retained till 1848. Of 

 his students over 1500 became ministers of the gos- 

 pel, over 70 college presidents or professors, and 

 over 100 foreign missionaries, of whom 30 translated

 erted a powerful influence, and so stimulated zeal
