Garfield the most heroic deed. For this exploit he was raised to the rank of major-general. CHAPTER XVIII. FILLING THE GAP. Called to Washington--Elected to the Congress--His Plan for increasing the Army--The Slaves' Friend--Abraham Lincoln shot--Stilling the Tumult. After the battle of Chickamauga, General Garfield retired from the army. His help was greatly needed in a sphere where the same courage would find scope, but where other gifts besides decision and dash were required. He had been a State Senator for Ohio for several years. Now he was to become a Member of Congress, the national Parliament of the United States. He was elected a representative of Congress in 1862, but did not immediately take his seat. So far, his place seemed with the army; but when, in 1863, immediately after the battle of Chickamauga, he went with despatches to Washington, President Lincoln expressed a strong desire that he should remain, and help to guide the affairs of the war in the national Parliament.
