General Slocum, who occupied the Union left with the Twentieth Corps, had captious. General Sherman thus explains why he did not accede to General Slocum's proposition to pass a sufficient force to the South Carolina shore, to close Hardee's only line of escape: General Slocum had already captured a couple of steamboats trying to pass down the Savannah ter's position at Broad River.
