n Appendix, General Jordan's letter to Captain Echols, ChiefEn-gineer. The expedient proved quite a success, for a time, but the stone anchors could not long withstand the force of the tide.

The garrison might rest assured that every preparation will be made for their withdrawal in case the work should become untenable. My telegram to you of this date was: The enemy's fleet and land batteries shelled Battery Wagner heavily this morning. Garrison lost only one killed and seven wounded-hope to repair damages during the night. Am anxiously waiting for heavy guns promised from Richmond. On the 25th the enemy's fleet remained quiet, owing to the high sea, and his land batteries fired but little; Fort Sumter, Battery Gregg, and the James Island batteries answering. A 30-pounder Parrott was again brought to bear on Fort Sumter from the same battery as on the 20th. During the day I informed you by telegraph that several of my new batteries were ready for their armament. The strengthening of Fort Sumter proceeded day and night, and in anticipation of the damaging effect which the enemy'

Knowing his energy and activity, the President has promoted him (General Hoke), to avoid any difficulty about commands. Urge him to action. Braxton Bragg, General. Still more, however, than the two foregoing telegrams does the following letter show what undue importance was attached to the Newbern expedition: Headquarters armies Confederate States, Richmond, Va., April 28th, 1864. General G. T. Beauregard, Weldon, North Carolina: General,—Your written communication of the 25th inst. received, and has been submitted to the President, with this endorsement, viz.: Respectfully submitted to his Excellency the President.

Smith, Chief-Engineer, who was not with him during this inspection, he telegraphed, on the 23d, as follows: City land defences, next to lower bay, where enemy will probably attack, are still unfinished. System of barbette guns adopted for land batteries is the worst possible. Their fire will be silenced by enemy's sharp-shooters as soon as they get within range. On the 25th General Beauregard was on the road to Augusta, where he was anxiously awaited. From Tensaw Landing, Ala., he forwarded the following telegram to General Hardee: I suggest the immediate preparation of a pontoon-bridge of at least fifty boats. The purpose of this suggestion was to protect General Hardee's retreat northward, especially across the Santee, in case the railroad bridge over it should be destroyed by Sherman's cavalry, an event which might have compelled the surrender of all

That gallant officer, not then entirely recovered from his wound received at the battle of Nashville, was doing his utmost, in the face of untold difficulties, to press forward his heterogeneous and hastily gathered command. On the 25th General Beauregard repaired to Smithfield to confer with General Johnston, and ascertain in what way he could aid him most effectively, and whether his presence might not be beneficial with the troops in the field. General Johnston assured Genera

om Sherman, and be strong enough to encounter anything between us and the Southwest. If this course be possible, carry it out and telegraph your intended route. John C. Breckinridge, Secretary of War. This reached General Johnston on the 25th. His reply was prompt and energetic. It deserves attention and respect: Greensboroa, April 25th: 10 A. M. Hon. J. C. Breckinridge, Secretary of War: Your despatch received. We have to save the people, save the blood of the army, andJohnston can be considered as an answer from the President; but that, as must be evident to the reader, was not an answer to the foregoing despatch. It was because nothing was heard from the President or the Secretary of War that, again, on the 25th, at 11.30 A. M., General Johnston telegraphed as follows: Hon. J. C. Breckinridge, Secretary of War: I have proposed to General Sherman military negotiations in regard to this army. This was done after due consultation with General

Augusta can now be considered out of danger, and the movable part of its garrison can safely be transferred to Charleston or Savannah. I desire that General Taylor should return to his department as soon as he can be spared by you. Respectfully, your obedient servant, G. T. Beauregard. Macon, Ga., Nov. 29th, 1864. General,—Your letter of the 25th inst. to General Taylor, informing him that Sherman's forces had neared Sandersville [about twenty-five miles east of Milledgeville, in the direction of Savannah], and were marching, you think, on Savannah, was received by him at Albany and referred to me here. General Cobb had already sent you all the disposable forces at his command, and he will continue to do so as rapidly as circumstances will permit. You are aware, however, that we have now nearly exhausted the resources at our command.
