One OF the most fortunate things that
happened to Sherman and the Union cause
at Paducah. lie had started out with the
same disposition as other generals, who
were destined to become gigantic failures,
to magnify the dlillculties in the way and
take dlScouraging view OF his own re-
sources. In Grant he found man who
was always ready to act with what mate
rlals were at hand, VINO from the hrst
was looking at his front rather than his
rear. SHERMAN was man who could profit
by the contact, ana doubtless TO this TACT
more than any other Is due his hnal tri-
umph as one OF the great leaders OF the
war
lie was at Paducah when Fort Henry
ana FORT donaldson were taken. On the
ioth OF March, by order oil Halleck, he EN-
parked ms division at Paducah and at
fort Henry reported TO Ten. 4. L. smith,

Gen. Sherman thus reports the interview
in his memoirs:
"'Ah,' said Mr.. Lincoln, how are they
getting along down thereY | said, They
are getting along swimmingly-theya are
preparing for war oh, WELL said he, Il
guess we'll manage to keep house l was
silenced, said no more to him and soon
left. | was sadly disappointed, and remem-
Der that broke out on John, damning the
politicians generally, and saying: You've
got things in a h of a fix, and you may
get them out as best you can, adding that
the country was sleeping on volcano
that might burst forth at any minute, but
that was going to St. Louis to take care
of my family and would have nothing to
do with it,"
The apparent cheerfulness and hopeful
ness of the president was doubtless dis
couraging then to many others, who did
not know of the load behind it. OF all the
eyes that looked into the future none saw
farther than Mr.. Lincoln's.
Sherman was elected president of the
horse railroad, and entered upon his duties
April |, 1861. Twelve days after came the
firing on Sumter. Sherman was offered
the chief clerkship in the war department
throG-h Montgomery Blair, with pros
pect OF being assistant secretary of war,
but declined. He says Frank Blair init
mated to him that he would secure his ap.
pontment rs brigadier general, and to the
position Lyon afterward held, but that he
declined this office, For the work to be
done in the field Lyon was perhaps "a bet
ter man than Sherman. Lyon was ready
to act in those fermenting times when
there was little or nothing to work with,
while Sherman's strength was only devel-

Sherman formally offered his services by
letter to the secretary of war on May s,
1861. Six days later he was appointed
colonel of one of the new regular regi-
ments, the Thirteenth infantry
Delays and Disasters of 81.
In June, 1861, he was assigned to the
command of brigade in the Army of the
Potomac, and Bull Run was the first mill
tary contest of any kind that he saw or
took part in-"when," he says, "for the
| first time in my life | saw cannon balls

Johnston's army to Atlanta, to the Sher-
man who was bewildered in Kentucky.
March to the Sea.
Sherman entered Atlanta on the LIST of
September. While the people Of the north
were rejoicing at his success, Sherman him
self was puzzling his brain as to the next
move on the chess board. With an af1ny
of 100000 men, several hundred miles from
his base, his enemy gone from his front
and liable to strike at any other point
along the whole Confederate and Union
front. Sherman might well listen to the

His resignation was accepted on the list
of April, 1861. He had already sought the
presidency of St. Louis horse railroad
and meanwhile visited his brother, Sen
ator John Sherman, who introduced him
to the PRESIDENT as Just from Louisiana.

(through New York paper, who was
watching Sherman, that the Union sup
plies were TO be drawn from Goldsboro,
This did away with all effect of deception.
From Fayetteville Sherman reported prog
ress to Grant, assuring him that he would
be ready to aid him in the spring cam
paign.
Meanwhile Gen. Joseph T.. Johnston had
been placed in command of the Confeder-
ate forces in the Carolinas On the night
of the 18th of February Gen. Slocum en-
countered Johnston's army at Bentonville.
Sherman ordered him to fight defensively
until he should himself come up with rein
forcements. When Sherman arrived he
hesitated to bring on a general engage
ment, being entirely ignorant of the force
at Johnston's disposal. Besides, he had
but little food in his wagons, and expected
Schofield and Terry to join him from Will
mington. Gen Mower broke through the
Confederate line on his extreme left flank.
Sherman ordered him back, but lest the
enemy should concentrate upon him or
dered brisk skirmish fire along the line.
Sherman has acknowledged that he made
a mistake in not pushing Johnston than.
