Slocum took two corps, Davis's (the Fourteenth) and Williams's (the Twentieth), and Sherman designated this force the Army of Georgia. This was Sherman's left wing. Kilpatrick drew out from all our cavalry a body of 5,000 horse for the march. I had 33,000 men, Slocum 30,000, and Kilpatrick 5,000-total, 68,--000.

ery much coveted: that was the field works, pretty well constructed, with auxiliary. outworks, which the Union soldiers still held and were defending with extraordinary obstinacy. If this redoubt could be taken, what a clean sweep there would be of Sherman's line of communications between the Chattahoochee Bridge and the crossing of the Etowah. Sherman's force in and. about Atlanta now numbered little over 60,000. General Elliott then commanded the cavalry-two small divisions under Kilpatrick and Garrard. I have a copy of a letter General Sherman wrote, which I have not seen in print — a sort of offhand communication, such as flew from his pen or pencil in times of emergency: Headquarters Military Division of the Mississippi, October 2, 1864. General Davis: Communicate with Howard, and be prepared to send into Atlanta all your traps and to move with ten days rations toward Marietta or to Fairburn, as the case may call for; and if Hood has crossed the Chattahoochee with tw

nnah General Sherman charged me to open further communications with the fleet, and directed Kilpatrick with his cavalry to assist me. As soon as the two wings struck the main works at Savannah, KilKilpatrick set out to accomplish his part of the operation. He crossed the Big Ogeechee at Jenks's Bridge, and then went on and followed Colonel Oliver's trail over the Cannouchee, near Bryan Court House. Sherman directed Kilpatrick to try to take Fort McAllister right away, as the garrison probably did not exceed 200 men with 13 guns. Haste was necessary, as in many things our supply was running remaining obstacle to our communicating with the fleet and establishing a new line of supply. Kilpatrick had visited me and represented the necessity of having infantry support. This plainly appeall events I will reach the Sound and communicate with the fleet. It was after this visit of Kilpatrick, made to me on his way over the Ogeechee to carry out his instructions, that I went in person

As soon as our infantryspace, I began sending over my trains, and so keeping the road full. In the course of an hour Kilpatrick and his cavalry came up, and he was exceedingly wrathy when he found me using the bridge. Rr, I said: By the way, general, I heard a good joke about you yesterday. What was it? Kilpatrick asked. General Sherman said that you were changing the names of places about here, so that up to Barnwell the other day, and that you had changed the name of the place to Burnwell. Kilpatrick's anger vanished in an instant. Bursting into laughter, he said: Go on with your train. here as anywhere. My idea was a slight variation from what I understood Sherman to say to Kilpatrick a few days before. Just as he was starting on his trip he asked him: General Sherman, how

man's retaliatory work has often been mentioned. I think it began from an occurrence of this day. Two of our men were found not only slain, but with their brains beaten out. We judged that they had been captured first and then murdered. Several men in another column were killed in the same way and labels pinned upon them. On the labels were these words: Death to all foragers. These are Sherman's words to me, which he wrote after finding repeated acts like the above: I have ordered Kilpatrick to select of his prisoners, man for man, shoot them, and leave them by the roadside labeled, so that our enemy will see for every man he executes he takes the life of one of his own. After defining proper and improper foraging, Sherman continues: I lay down these rules, and wish you to be governed by them. If any of your foragers are murdered, take life for life, leaving a record of each case. It is quite surprising how quickly the Confederates, in the army and outside of it, found

and placed under special escort, covered, of course, by the rear guard. Slocum, deviating from our direct march toward Goldsboro, went by the way of Kyle's Landing, aiming for Bentonville, while his wagon train followed the Goldsboro route. Kilpatrick's cavalry was clearing the way on Slocum's left and front. Slocum found, March 6th, a large Confederate force across the way near Averysboro. It proved to be Hardee, not Johnston, in immediate command. Kilpatrick came upon the enemy behind Kilpatrick came upon the enemy behind intrenchments and moved to the right, while Slocum deployed two divisions of the Twentieth Corps in front of the enemy's line. Sherman joined Slocum and directed him to send a brigade to the left so as to get a ford in rear of the Confederate intrenchments. This was successfully accomplished. The enemy retreated and MacBeth's Charleston battery with 217 of Rhett's men were captured. The Confederates were found behind another line of works, a short distance in rear of the first. Both opera

Kilpatrick's cavalry was placed at the extreme left. On our right our movements commenced by a reconnoissance made by the Seventeenth Corps-Mower having with two brigadesl, and so northward to Warrenton. Schofield's army was to take a central route, passing by Whitley's Mill, and on to Rolesville, and thence to Warrenton; while Kilpatrick's cavalry, preceding my column, was to clear the way, watch the right flank, and get to Weldon as soon as practicable. The instant we had passed the Roanoke eir respective commands. Sherman immediately came back to Raleigh where I had remained in command. The sad news was first given by him, en route, to some of Kilpatrick's men at Durham Station, and next to the Fifteenth Corps near Morrisville and Jones's Station, then to me.
