Graham, built among the sand-hills of the south end of Morris island nine independent 1-gun batteries, which were eventually to meet the concentrated fire of forty-seven guns in the masked batteries on Folly island, and 8, 11 and 15-inch guns in — the monitors. The writer of the pamphlet quoted cannot have been aware of the fact, that as early as March 10th General Beauregard had ordered the south end of Morris island fortified, that the work was promptly begun, and that when General Ripley complained, May 24th, of its slow progress, Capt.

An expedition of Federals was sent toward Florence, but was defeated in its attempt to reach that place. Continuing his march northward, Sherman's left wing reached Fayetteville, N. C., on the 11th of March. General Hampton, with his cavalry, had maintained active skirmishing to cover the retreat of Hardee's troops, and on the morning of March 10th, finding Kilpatrick's cavalry in a scattered condition, he ordered Wheeler's and Butler's cavalry to attack.

Sherman spent three days at Fayetteville, destroying the arsenal and machinery. He then began to fear serious trouble from the concentration of the Confederate forces

In September, 1863, he was sent to the military prison on Johnson's island, Lake Erie, where he endured the privations of a prisoner and the rigors of the Northern winter, until February 28, 1865, when he was sent to Richmond for exchange. On account of his empty sleeve he was granted a furlough March 10th, during which the war came to an end. Since then he has been influential in the public affairs of his county, serving as county commissioner, pension commissioner, as sheriff nine years from 1868, and during three sessions as a member of the legislature.
