ing the profile of regular field works, and protected in front by two and even three rows of entanglements; the whole line well flanked, and its approaches everywhere swept by artillery—these constituted a position, which, when held by only one rank of good troops with breech-loading weapons—it is the universal testimony of modern war, can hardly be carried by direct assault. In September, 1864, the national entrenchments extended no further north of the James than the tete de pont at Deep Bottom; on the south bank the lines ran parallel with the rebel works across Bermuda Hundred, from the James to the Appomattox river. Beyond the Appomattox, starting at a point opposite the rebel left, they followed the defences of Petersburg, and until they struck the Jerusalem plank road, ran extremely close to the enemy's works, approaching at times within a few hundred yards. At the Jerusalem road they diverged to the left, and the distance between the entrenchments widened to more than two

The attack by Ord on the left had been ordered should have pushed on with vigor. Grant was at Deep Bottom in person at an early hour, and though anxious to entire command, the general-in-chief returned to Deep Bottom at noon, to communicate with Meade, from whom he want to remain here through the day.

ers were accordingly given to prepare for this emergency. To Meade Grant said: The army north of the James will be promptly withdrawn and put in the trenches about Petersburg, thus liberating all of your infantry and cavalry and a sufficient amount of artillery. . . . Hold yourself in readiness to start in the shortest time with twelve days rations. To Butler he wrote: In case it should be necessary for you to withdraw from north of the James, abandon all of your present lines except at Deep Bottom and Dutch Gap. Just occupy what you did prior to the movement which secured our present position. This withdrawal, however, was to be temporary only, and with characteristic forethought, Grant continued: Open to the rear all enclosed works, so that when we want to retake them, they will not be directed against us. Tennessee, however, was the theatre where the interest of the war now culminated; the key-point, at this juncture, of the strategy which enveloped a continent. Nashville,
