of food, to the sum paid by the city. IV. That proper muster-rolls be prepared of these laborers, and details so arranged that only those that labor, with their families, shall be fed from this source. V. No paroled soldier or person who has served in the Confederate forces shall be employed, unless he takes the oath of allegiance to the United States. I shall be glad to arrange the details of this proposal through the aid of Colonel Shafer, of the quartermaster department, and Colonel Turner, of the subsistence department, as soon as it has been acted on by you. The reason of this calling upon the city was that I proposed to expend on this work part of the taxes of the city. I had made the acquaintance of Col. T. B. Thorpe, and we agreed upon the following plan for having the city cleansed and kept clean:-- The occupant of every house was to see that everything within and without its courtelige was cleansed to the acceptance of Colonel Thorpe's inspector, within tw

f that corps, advanced from Port Walthall Junction. Two pieces of artillery that had been lost were re-captured by a gallant achievement of the Seventh Connecticut Volunteers, under Lieutenant-Colonel Roman, who drove the enemy back with loss to them of three hundred killed. The woods from which the enemy had been driven took fire under a high wind and their dead and severely wounded were burned. General Terry held his position till night and then withdrew to his place in line. As Brigadier-General Turner's division was retiring, General Hagood, by authority of General Bushrod Johnson of the Confederate forces, sent a flag of truce asking permission to bury their dead and to bring off their wounded, which was granted. On the morning of the 10th I received advices by signal from General Kautz announcing his return with his entire command. He had failed to reach Hicksford, but had burned the Stony Creek bridge, the Nottoway Bridge, and Jarratt's Station, and captured about one hund

f the 7th of December. I had to make all my arrangements by verbal instructions and orders. On the 6th of December I issued, through my chief of staff, Brigadier-General Turner, the instructions intended for the expedition as follows:-- Headquarters Department of Virginia and North Carolina, Army of the James, in the fieldrow at Deep Bottom. You will report in person to the major-general commanding for further instructions. I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant, John W. Turner, Brigadier-General and Chief of Staff [Indorsement.] Respectfully forwarded to Lieutenant-General Grant for his information, and with the earnest requ On the 6th I had moved the troops for this expedition out of the trenches, and got them ready to embark. I fix the date by a telegram from General Terry to General Turner, my chief of staff. See Appendix No. 107.

went with me to the Army of the James, and was there promoted to be chief of my staff. He served as such until he went home in the summer of 1864 suffering with a disease which afterwards caused his death, having been appointed governor of Utah Territory. His services, although not of a character that makes men so distinguished in a campaign as to find a place in history, were of the greatest value in whatever position he found himself. With Colonel Shaffer there was sent to me Brig.-Gen. J. W. Turner. He had graduated at West Point. He was my chief commissary, and afforded me very great and efficient aid in seeing to the provisioning not only of the army, but of a large portion of the people of New Orleans, including a very great number of dependent negroes. His services were such in his department that personally I had no occasion for thought of any danger that my commissariat would not be ready for any emergency. When Colonel Shaffer left, he acted as my chief of staff. H
