Blair began the actual movement of it January 3, 1865, and by the 11th his entire corps (the Seventeenth) and one division of Logan's (the Fifteenth) had arrived and were disembarked at Beaufort, S.

With Blair's corps, at about twelve o'clock midnight (January 13, 1865), we set out for what we called Whale branch. One brigade of Logan's command followed Blair's. It was an all-night march. Blair, now habitually using canvas boats, sent his pontoon bridge and a guard ahead, and so, when we arrived, we found that some of his men had rowed across the branch, captured the Confeder

Smith's division by the bridge road between Pocotaligo their crossings of this most difficult Salkehatchie, and the next day, the 6th, pushed on to the Little Salkehatchie. Logan, with the Fifteenth Corps, had the usual resistance, and a Confederate bridge was burning at his crossing; he secured a p do so. Holman's, Cannon's, Binnaker's, Walker's, Skillings's, and the railway bridges were examined.

t as their sharpshooters continued their annoying business, Logan caused further shelling of that part of the city which was ight between the 17th and 18th of February, 1865. Sherman, Logan, and myself, with all the officers under our command, workewas suffered to remain untouched. During the night I met Logan and Woods and other general officers, and they were taking al love and veneration by me. To aid him in his work he had Logan's inspector general, Lieutenant Colonel L. E. Yorke. TheFrom Rice Creek Springs, February 20th, I wrote a letter to Logan, describing this apparently growing evil: I am inclinome quarreling. Here a slight contretemps occurred between Logan and myself. He, as corps commander, had direct charge ofst they, in their impatience, had hard words between them. Logan naturally sided with the pioneers, and so wrote me a note tawful order. I signed this indorsement and sent it back to Logan. We met about twenty minutes after this exchange of compli

Logan recommended on March 4th that all such prisoners belonging to the South Carolina militia be rele wishes, as soon as I met Slocum I retired outside the city limits, and there went into camp. Logan halted his force at least five miles back. We found the best practicable approaches for our poed to get communications to Wilmington, and, if possible, receive back word from the same, while Logan and I were anxious to reestablish mail communication. After consulting with Captain Duncan, I s was obliged to deviate so much that our wings were separated more and more from each other till Logan turned northward and encamped near Alexander Benton's, about 11 miles south of Bentonville, whiolumn and General Sherman was with Blair's. Slocum at the same time appeared to be abreast of Logan, perhaps six miles to his left northwest of him. We had but little resistance on our front, and

Logan closed up his command at night, forced the enemy to destroy Cox's Bridge, and atonville. Meanwhile Blair also used the night to bring up his column near to Logan. In fact, our marching was continuous until the two wings were in touch with efar south as Troublefield's store, but he was on the direct road to Goldsboro.

This caused me much feeling, and under the pressure of it I replied that I h (July 27, 1864), all the way through.

Early on the morning of the 31st the Seventeenth corps came up, and his army of the Tennessee was ready for battle. As the troops of Hardee and Lee arrived on the 31st, they were quickly put in line of battle facing west, and immediately confronting the Fifteenth corps, commanded by Gen. John A. Logan.
