James, as well as all details. There were not more than 66,000 men engaged in the two movements of Butler and Meade, including those in the trenches. We cannot fight to advantage with such odds, and there is the gravest reason to apprehend the result of every encounter . . . It is certain that the need of men was never greater. . . The men at home on various pretexts must be brought out and put in the army at once, unless we would see the enemy reap the great moral and material advantages of a successful issue of this most costly campaign. . . If we can get our entire arms-bearing population in Virginia and North Carolina, and relieve all detailed men with negroes, we may be able, with the blessing of God, to keep the enemy in check till the beginning of winter. If we fail to do this, the result may be calamitous. There have been critics who pronounced Grant's method of extending north and south of the James simultaneously—a blunder; but Lee, it appears, was of a different mind

Wilmington, near the mouth of the Cape Fear river, in North Carolina, was the only important seaport now open to the enemy. At this point the rebels still received supplies of arms and clothing from abroad, and hence they sent the 30th of November, Grant notified Butler that Bragg, who had been in command at Wilmington, had set out for Georgia, taking with him most of the forces in North Carolina. It is therefore important, he said, that Weitzel should get off during his absence; and if successful in making a landing, he may, by a bold dash, succeed int can possibly be spared from the lines should be held ready to go after the enemy, if he follows. This movement would be simultaneous with that of Palmer in North Carolina, and both were intended, not only to distress Lee still further for his supplies, but to prevent reinforcements being sent to Wilmington, when Weitzel's expe

It would be wise as well as patriotic, on the part of North Carolina, to give all assistance possible to defeat or frustrate the desch could have been collected from Savannah, South Carolina, and North Carolina, before Sherman's forces could reach the Atlantic coast, would ell rejoice at it. Meanwhile the important operations on the North Carolina coast, so often contemplated, and so long delayed, had at last at once ordered Hoke's division, about six thousand strong, to North Carolina. On the 20th, Bragg, who had returned to Wilmington and resumetroops only reached here to-night. On this day the Governor of North Carolina issued a proclamation, calling on all men in the state, who cou

Sherman had recommended that Grant should wait for his arrival from North Carolina before taking the initiative, and thus make the result absolutely secure; but the general-inan, together with some further passages directing him in certain contingencies to proceed to North Carolina and report to Sherman. As he read, he perceived that the latter part of the order was disagngaged. In the midst of this important battle, Grant was looking anxiously for news from North Carolina, and in the same dispatch to Sheridan, he said: I would like you to get information from the

Sherman, and this night sent him a long dispatch from Sutherland. After reciting the great events before Petersburg, he proceeded to direct the operations in North Carolina so as to combine them with his own; for Sherman's army, though a hundred and fifty miles away, was now more than ever only a wing of Grant's command.

While these important events were occurring in North Carolina and Virginia, the remaining combinations of the general-in-chief had proceeded to their desigencies in front of Johnston and Lee. Stoneman marched from East Tennessee, at first into North Carolina, but soon turned northward, and struck the Tennessee and Virginia railroad at various pointses of Lynchburg, so that all retreat of Lee in that direction was cut off.
