1865. before the last Confederate force
had surrendered, the federal govern

teers. The armies in the field. how
ever. remained intact until after the
grand review In Washington.
Orders were issued the 18th OF May
for a review by President Johnson OF
the Army of the Potomac. commanded
by General George q. Meade, and the
Army of the Tennessee and the Army
of Georgia. commanded by General W.
T. Sherman. The Army OF the Potomac
had been transported by water from
its camps in southeastern Virginia to
the capital, but Sherman'S men march
ell from North Carolina To the banks
of the Potomac and appeared in the
reviewing columns like the travel worn
veterans they really We're.
The Army of the Potomac passed in
review down Pennsylvania avenue on
the 23d and presented a superb pag-
strangers, who thronged the streets in
holiday attire. and every house was
decorated with flags. The reviewing
stand was directly in front of the
White House. General Grant was on
the stand with the president and the
cabinet. and Sherman, with his wife
and eight-year-old son, Tom. were
present as guests. General Meade rode
at the head of the Army of the PotO-
mac. The troops of this army had been
operating where they received full sup
plies of food and clothing regularly
and appeared on review a body of well
drilled. well disciplined soldiers. in

$4,000 men in line. and for six hours
they marched past the reviewing stand.
During the afternoon and night of
the 23d Sherman's command crossed
from the Virginia side OF the Potomac
over Long bridge and bivOuacked in
the streets around the capitol. The
morning of the oath was extremely
fine and the streets were early lined
with people armed with bouquets for
their favOrite regiments of heroes. The
