During the day he received his commission as General of the Army. Words can not describe the pleasure the act brought to the brave soldier. His eyes were filled with tears as the commission was laid in his hands, and his heart overflowed with gratitude. He then appointed as aides on his staff, with the rank of Colonel: Major Michael V. Sheridan, Assistant Adjutant - General ; Captain Standford C Kellogg, Fifth Cavalry, and Captain Stanhope E. Blunt, Ordnance Department. Washington, June 4. - A change for the worse in the condition of General Sheridan was reported at a late hour last night.
