that he had captured, in Cheraw, the
wine Of some of the old aristocratc

up to Cheraw for safety, and heard
afterward that Blair had found about
eight wacon-loads of this wine, which
he distributed to the army generally in
very fair proportions.
After finishing our lunch, as we passed
out of the dining-room, Gen. Blair asked
me If / did not want some saddle
blankets or rug for my tent, and,
leading me into the hall to a space
under the stairway, he pointed out a
pile of carpets which had also been sent
up from Charleston for safety. After
our Headquarter wagons got up, and cur

making the roads awful. All the men
were at work corduroying the roads,
using fence-rails and split saplings, and
every foot of the way had thus to be
corduroyed to enable the artillery and
wagons TO pass. On the 10th we made
some little progress; on the 18th l
reached Fayetteville, and found that
Gen. Hardee, followed by Wade Hamp-
tons cavalry, had barely escaped across
Cape Fear River, burning the bridge
which | had hoped to save. On reach
ing Fayetteville / found Gen. Slocum
already in possession with the Four
teenth Corps, and all the rest of the
army was near at hand. A day or two
before, Gen Fitzpatrick, to our left rear,
had divided his force into two parts,
occupying roads behind the Twentieth
Corps, interposing between our infantry
columns and Wade Hampton's cavalry.
The latter, doubtless to make junction
with Gen. Hardee, in Fayetteville, broke
across this line, captured the house in
which Gen. Fitzpatrick and the brigade
commander, Gen. Spencer, were, and
for time held possession of the camp
and artillery of the brigade. However,

There were frequent squabbles and
fights, of course, and many petty lar
cenies. .Rations of bread and of wood,
articles of clothing, and the wretched
little cans and halfcanteens that formed
our cooking utensils were still stolen,
but all these were in sneak-thief way.

His judicial methods and punishments
