Chapter 12: Honey Hill. Our arrival with other troops at Hilton Head was in consequence of General Foster's orders to co-operate with General Sherman in his march to the sea, for the latter had telegraphed General Halleck from Kingston, Ga., November 11,— I would like to have Foster break the Charleston and Savannah Railrt Honey Hill released the city of Savannah from an impending danger, which, had it not thus been averted, would have necessitated its immediate evacuation. As Sherman's army on November 29 was about Louisville, Ga., threatening Augusta, it would seem now that if our movements had been delayed a week, when Sherman was near SavanSherman was near Savannah, Hardee's whole army might have been captured, as the enemy then would not have dared to detach against Foster, and our force could have cut the railroad, thus preventing escape of the Confederates by the only available route. It would seem with the light of the present that our position was as strong for us to hold as was t

well. It was now a daily occurrence to bear Sherman's guns. Companies D and I, on the 14th, were the rails. General Beauregard expected that Sherman would make an immediate advance, and directedt word to brigade headquarters that a part of Sherman's army was near. Colonel Hallowell, at 11 A.steamer Wyoming landed the first supplies for Sherman's army at our wharf. That day news was receio General Foster dated January 28 and 29, General Sherman expressed his wish that Hatch's force sho division, came to our vicinity on the 29th.

Disembarking, the wing moved out Bull Street and to the edge of the place, where on high ground it took possession of a fine camp of board shelters constructed by Sherman's men, near the One Hundred and Second United States Colored Troops, camped on our right. Major Pope, with the left wing, left Charleston March 13 on the steamerthe Savannah to the Little Ogeechee River. Beyond, facing this land defence, were the works thrown up by the besiegers. On every side were the deserted camps of Sherman's and Hardee's armies, marked by debris, rough shanties, cleared spaces, and approaching roads. When captured, the population was estimated as twenty thousand, oas allowing that to suffice, for six months pay was due at this time. The officers were penniless, and had to send North for money or borrow it to subsist upon. Sherman's victorious progress, Sheridan's brilliant successes, Lee's inability to hold back Grant, and the whole seaboard fallen, made it manifest that the war was virtua

Chapter 15: Potter's Raid. While at Columbia, S. C., General Sherman sent and destroyed the railroad to Kingsville and the Wateree Bridge. From Cheraw he broke the railroad trestles toward Florence as far as Darlington, and the enemy burned the railroad bridge over the Pedee. Between Florence and Sumterville was a vast amount of rollingstock thus hemmed in. Sherman, considering that this should be destroyed before the roads could be repaired, and that the food supplies in that section round, for there Gates was defeated by Cornwallis in 1780, and Greene by Lord Rawdon at Hobkirk's Hill near by in 1781. Sherman's Fifteenth Corps entered the town Feb. 24, 1865, after some resistance, when the railroad bridge, depot, and much cottocer came to the outposts with a flag of truce, to notify General Potter that an armistice had been concluded between Generals Sherman and Johnston. Hostilities were not to be renewed without forty-eight hours notice. This great news created the most

Robbers, of their own number, stole from the incautious or weak the shreds of blankets, clothes, or pans used for cooking. Old diseases long dormant asserted themselves in consequence of their privations and exposure. At one time some 15,000 prisoners were in Florence stockade. In January, 1865, 7500 were confined there. During its occupancy the number buried was about 3000, of whom all but about 200 are unknown. The mortality reached eleven per cent a month. With the oncoming of Sherman's army in February, 1865, threatening the release of prisoners, it became necessary to remove them. The rebel armies of Lee and Johnson were being driven into more contracted lines. Under these conditions the prisoners had to endure increased privations; so that when forced to march away in droves, or taken into railroad cars packed like cattle, the suffering was dreadful, causing the death of hundreds while moving, or immediately after release. The Florence prisoners were taken in vario
