"The dispatching of Foraker to Sher-

soon as he arrived we DEVELOPED the
enemy's lines and found them very
strong as Williams reported but when
we began to push things Johnston dis
covered that he was just day too late,
for Sherman's army was united. He
then retreated hastily toward Raleigh"
Two days later Lee attempted to
break Grants hold on Petersburg by a
night sOrtle. He failed and attempted
to back off and march south to meet
Johnston. That plan Sheridan foiled
at Five Forks on April l.. SO the game
was up for the southern Confederacy.

Still l had strong foe in my front
and could not keep my engagement to
meet Sherman on the Neuse river next
day. The fierceness of the battle con-
firmed the story of the deserter Will
liams that the enemy had made every
preparation to smash me, and, while
might have ignored the warning and
attempted to cut my way through,
thought it was time when l could
afford to be too slow rather than too
fast and not risk another Balls Bluff
disaster.
The idea is generally accepted that
the march of Sherman through the
Carolinas at that time threatening to
come up in the rear of Lees army
along the James and catch it between
two fires, decided the issue between
Lee and Grant and led to the surrender
at AppomattoX. That view of the case

Johnston would have been able to

more respects than one when he set
out from the Confederate camps to
warn me of my danger. There was fir
ing going on between the Confederate
skirmishers and ours, so that a man
risked his life passing between the
lines. Besides, if discovered by the
southern people while getting away
they would shoot him down, and the
northerners would do the same unless
they understood his signals. 1t was
most fortunate for Williams as well as
for my army and the cause that he
happened to run right into the arms
