Sheridan obeyed his orders to the letter. On the 1st of October, he wrote, from Harrisonburg: What we have destroyed and can destroy in this Valley is worth millions of dollars to the rebel government; on the 7th, he said, from Woodstock: In moving back to this point, the whole country, from the Blue Ridge to the North Mountain, has been made untenable for a rebel army; and still later: I will continue the destruction of wheat, forage, etc., down to Fisher's Hill. When this is completed, the Valley, from Winchester up to Staunton, ninety-two miles, will have little in it for man or beast. Early also is a witness to the success of the policy. On the 9th of October, he complained bitterly to Lee: Sh

een Columbus and Macon good, and then, if I feign on Columbus, will move via Macon and Millen to Savannah; or if I feign on Macon, you may take it for granted I have shot off towards Opelika, Montgomery, and Mobile bay or Pensacola. He concluded: I will not attempt to send couriers back, but trust to the Richmond papers to keep you well advised. . . I will see that the road is broken completely between the Etowa and the Chattahoochee, and that Atlanta itself is utterly destroyed. On the 7th, he said: By the 10th, the election will be over, the troops all paid, and all our surplus property will be back to Chattanooga. On that day or the following, if affairs should remain as now in Tennessee, I propose to begin the movement. Grant replied on the same day, at 10.30 P. M.: Your despatch of this evening received. I see no present reason for changing your plan; should any arise, you will see it; or if I do, I will inform you. I think everything here favorable now. Great good fortu

: If I can perfect my arrangements, I shall move against the advanced portion of the enemy on the 7th; but on the 6th, he suspended the movement again. At eight P. M. that night, he telegraphed to Gedition, and minute orders to Meade for the movement southward against the Weldon road. On the 7th, he telegraphed to Butler, now at Fort Monroe: Let General Weitzel get off as soon as possible. s done by the government, and nothing was heard from Thomas till nine o'clock on the night of the 7th, when he telegraphed to Halleck: Captain Fitch, United States navy, started down the river yesteremy, even to giving the positive order. He did say he thought he should be able to attack on the 7th, but he did not do so, nor has he given a reason for not doing it. I am very unwilling to do injund to him also on this day Grant was obliged to say: Richmond papers of the 10th show that on the 7th, Sherman was east of the Ogeechee, and within twenty-five miles of Savannah, having marched eight

d beasts, they struck out terrible blows. The fighting at Sailor's creek was as desperate for a while as in any battle of the war; and the repulse of Miles on the 7th, the capture of a portion of Crook's cavalry with Gregg himself at their head, showed like the expiring flashes of a nearly burnt out fire. The high commanders o But he was yet unwilling. I have too many brave men, he said; the time is not yet come for surrender. Nevertheless, he answered Grant's note, on the night of the 7th, in these words: General, I have received your note of this day. Though not entirely of the opinion you express of the hopelessness of further resistance on the par steadfast and loyal to their leader, and the chief was stubborn to the last. During the night of the 6th, the rebels again evaded the army of the James. On the 7th, the Appomattox was crossed, over burning bridges and amid exploding forts. The wagons were ablaze and the guns were abandoned; but the rebels pressed on, and bey

g this, I drove a division of cavalry from my front at Port Republic, and then moved to Waynesboro, where two divisions under Torbert were destroying the bridge, and drove them away; and, after remaining there one day, I moved to the vicinity of Mount Crawford, where I awaited the arrival of Rosser's brigade to take the offensive; but, before it arrived, the enemy was discovered to be falling back on the morning of the 6th. I immediately commenced following the enemy, and arrived here on the 7th, and have been waiting to ascertain whether Sheridan intends crossing the Blue Ridge before moving further. Respectfully, J.

neral Grant. Headquarters, military division of the Mississippi, in the field, camp opposite Richmond, May 10, 1865. Lieutenant-General U. S. Grant, Washington, D. C.: dear General: I march to-morrow at the head of my army through Richmond for Alexandria, in pursuance of the orders this day received by telegraph from you. I have received no other telegram or letter from you since you left me at Raleigh. I send by General Howard, who goes to Washington in pursuance of a telegram dated 7th instant, received only to-day, my official report of events from my last official report up to this date. I do think a great outrage has been enacted against me by Mr. Stanton and General Halleck. I care naught for public opinion; that will regulate itself; but to maintain my own self-respect, and to command men, I must resent a public insult. On arriving at Old Point, I met a dispatch from General Halleck, inviting me to his house in Richmond. I declined most positively, and assigned as
