it is possible. On the 5th, he gave Meade instructions to move down the Weldon road as far south as Hicksford; and on the 6th, he said to Butler: A movement will be commenced on the left to-morrow morning. Make immediate preparations so that your legraphed: 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 Grant: Your telegram of 6.30 P. M., Decemb able to prevent him. Before receiving this despatch, Grant had finally given a peremptory order. At four P. M. on the 6th, he telegraphed: Attack Hood at once, and wait no longer for a remount of your cavalry. There is great danger of delay re yesterday, with a force of from three to four thousand men, to cut the same [Weldon] road south of the Roanoke. On the 6th, he gave Butler detailed orders for Weitzel's operations. The first object of the expedition under General Weitzel is to

a and North Carolina. I do this with reluctance, but the good of the service requires it. In my absence General Butler necessarily commands, and there is a lack of confidence felt in his military ability, making him an unsafe commander for a large army. His administration of the affairs of his department is also objectionable. Stanton had just left the capital on a visit to Sherman, at Savannah, and this letter at first received no answer; but Grant was now very much in earnest, and on the 6th, he telegraphed direct to the President: I wrote a letter to the Secretary of War, which was mailed yesterday, asking to have General Butler removed from command. Learning that the Secretary left Washington yesterday, I telegraph you, asking that prompt action be taken in this matter. The order was made the next day, and on the 7th of January, Butler was relieved. He never received another command. Major-General E. O. C. Ord succeeded him. Brevet Major-General A. H. Terry was a volunt

have written a letter to General Lee, copy of which will be sent you to-morrow. I can assure you that no act of the enemy will prevent me pressing all advantages to the utmost of my ability; neither will I, under any circumstances, exceed my authority, or in any way embarrass the government. It was because I had no right to meet General Lee on the subject proposed by him that I referred the matter for instructions. His reply to Lee was in these words: In regard to meeting you on the 6th instant, I would state that I have no authority to accede to your proposition for a conference on the subject proposed. Such authority is vested in the President of the United States alone. General Ord could only have meant that I would not refuse an interview on any subject on which I have a right to act, which, of course, would be such as are purely of a military character, and on the subject of exchanges, which has been intrusted to me. The result of this attempt was doubtless a woeful d

tion of the enemy had escaped, and with marvellous resolution and endurance was pressing on. No grander exhibition of fortitude has ever been made than on this march. The chance of reaching Johnston was quite gone. Lee himself could not have hoped to save any force that could ever resist an army again. His officers and men understood the situation as well as he. But the subordinates were 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 beyond Farmville they turned once more with indomitable courage to hold off their energetic foe. But the pursuit was as terrible and unintermitted as the flight; the columns were all advancing, though generals were captured and divisions repelled; the cavalry crossed and re-c
