nt every man he can scrape, and Mobile must now be at our mercy, if General Canby and General Banks could send to Pascagoula ten thousand men; and on the 30th, he proposed that A. J. Smith's division should be reinforced and sent to act against Mobile, in concert with Admiral Farragut, according to the original plan. To this Grant replied, on the 3rd of June: If there are any surplus troops West, they could be advantageously used against Mobile, as suggested in Sherman's despatch; and on the 5th, he added, from Cold Harbor: The object of sending troops to Mobile now would be, not so much to assist Sherman against Johnston, as to secure for him a base of supplies, after his work is done. But it was found necessary to transfer A. J. Smith to West Tennessee and the Nineteenth corps to Virginia. Canby was therefore unable to send any force whatever to act against Mobile until late in July, and then only two thousand men under Gordon Granger, to co-operate with the fleet. Farragut, h

On the 5th, he gave Meade instructions to move down the Weldon road as far south as Hicksford; and on the 6tion of infantry, against Murfreesboroa, thirty miles away. Forrest started on the morning of the 5th, and Thomas's cavalry force was then far superior to that which remained with Hood. On the 4thnt had anticipated this danger, and was now intensely anxious in regard to the situation. On the 5th, he telegraphed: Is there not danger of Forrest moving down the Cumberland to where he can cross hould the enemy attempt to reinforce it, I hope to be able to defeat them. On the night of the 5th, Thomas telegraphed: If I can perfect my arrangements, I shall move against the advanced portion ll men liable to military duty. There were delays at the East, as well as the West; and on the 5th, Grant said to Meade: We will not wait for Getty's division. How soon can you move troops? I ha

he 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 orders, to be opened off Cape Henry. Terry's instructions were in these words: The expedition entrusted to your command has been fitted out to renew the attempt to capture Fort Fisher, North Carolina, and Wilmington ultimately,

The double column crowded the road, and the infantry was delayed till Merritt's troopers had passed. At 4.30 A. M. on the 5th, Meade said to Sheridan: If you wish the infantry to-day at Jetersville, you will have to send back and clear the road of and his cabinet had passed through Burksville at three A. M. the day before, on their way south. Before daylight on the 5th, Grant received Meade's dispatch of the night before, and replied at once, from his bivouac at Wilson's station: Your notd Farm ville therefore became the point aimed at by both armies. Ord had arrived at Burksville late in the night of the 5th, and before daylight on the 6th he dispatched two small regiments of infantry and his own Headquarters' escort, under comm rebels in a position where they could be struck. In this way Ord did as good service as Meade. At Jetersville, on the 5th, the army of the Potomac and the cavalry were in front of Lee; the rebels were intercepted; the national forces were throw
