the 1st of October, he said to Butler: The strong works about Chapin's Farm should be held or levelled. Sheridan, for want of supplies, if there should be no other reason, will be forced to fall back. The enemy may take advantage of such an occurrence to bring the remnants of Early's force here, relying upon his ability to get it back to the Valley before Sheridan could fit up and return. In such case he would fall upon either flank as now exposed, and inflict great damage. Again, on the 3rd, he said: A despatch is just received from Sheridan up to the 1st instant. The enemy have entirely left his front and gone to Charlottesville or Gordonsville. Early was driven out of the Valley, and only saved himself by getting through Brown's Gap in the night, and has probably taken position at Charlottesville, and will probably fortify, holding Waynesboroa and Rockfish Gap.—Sheridan to Halleck, Oct. 1. This information afterwards proved incorrect, but it was the foundation for the despa

ual to those of Thomas, and that one gained as much as the other, by delay. For a day or two, however, he refrained from further urging his subordinate, but on the 3rd, he said to Sherman, with whom he was attempting to communicate: Thomas has got back into the defences of Nashville, with Hood close upon him. Decatur has been abanny day, leaving Bragg free to return. I think it advisable for you to notify Admiral Porter, and get off without delay, with or without your powder-boat. On the 3rd, as has been stated, the generalin-chief wrote to Sherman, sending his despatch to the blockading squadron, to be forwarded as soon as the army was heard from on th Cumberland river on the right to the river again on the left, and all outside was held by Hood. No telegraph communication south, said the operator there, on the 3rd, to his fellow at Grant's Headquarters; No telegraph communication south, from Nashville, of course, but we can communicate with Chattanooga via Cumberland Gap and

nder a different commander; and Terry, who was gallant, intelligent, and soldierly, seemed the most appropriate selection. On the 2nd of January, he received from Grant in person orders to take command of the troops intended for the movement. A small brigade numbering fifteen hundred men had been added to the original force, and the command now consisted of eight thousand men. Terry, however, was still unaware of his real destination, and supposed that he was to reinforce Sherman. On the 3rd, Grant announced to Stanton: Here, there is not the slightest suspicion where the troops are going. The orders to officers commanding enjoin secrecy, and designate Savannah and to report to Sherman as their destination. On the 5th, Terry proceeded to Fort Monroe, and Grant accompanied him to issue his final instructions. On the way the general-in-chief made known to Terry the point against which he was to operate, and that evening the transports were ordered to put to sea with sealed orde

ured the blaze of the conflagration; amid rapine and riot and viler crimes—the city of Richmond fell. Every incident and almost every word in this account of the condition of Richmond on the 2nd and 3rd of April is taken from rebel narratives. It has been my aim, throughout this entire history, to employ as far as possible the language of eye-witnesses or participants. Weitzel, meanwhile, had been on the alert all night, prepared to attack in the morning; but, about three A. M. on the 3rd, it became evident that the rebels were abandoning their lines. He immediately directed the troops to be wakened, and gave orders for a movement at daybreak, the pickets to advance at once and feel the enemy's position. Major General Devens, Afterwards Attorney-General of the United States, under President Hayes. commanding the Third division of the Twenty-fourth corps, was the first to report, at five o'clock, that his picket line had possession of the enemy's works. Upon this Weitzel se
