With the opening of the New Year.
1855, General j. E. Johnston was in
retirement, residing at Lincolnton, N.
c.; General Beauregard was in COM
mand of the military division of the
West, including Georgia and Tennes-
see, Alabama and Mississippi. GEN
eral Hood. in command of the Army
of Tennessee, was returning from his
operations in Tennessee. On January,
18th, General Hood, with the concur
renee of General Beauregard had fur
loughed at Tupelo, Miss, his army
amounting to $4,000 to 10000 troops,
to go home and return within 10 or
IS days, and he himself resigned his
position as general commanding that
army. BY the end of January General
Sherman, then at Savannah began his
movement into South Carolina, and
General Beaure gard came East to con-
front him, but without adequate forces
to do so. On February 3rd General
Lee was appointed Commander-in-
Chief Of all the Armies of the Confed-
eracy, and on February 22d he assign
ed General Joe Johnston to the COM
mand of the two military departments
of the South and directed General
Beauregard to report to him; and Gen
eral Johnston at once assumed COM
mand and proceeded to the Eastern
part of North Carolina, leaving Gen
eral Beauregard in charge of the Wes-
tern portion of the State. On the 28th
of March heavy force of Federal cav

Western North Carolina, and appeared
at Lenoir and threatened the line of

At Petersburg towards the end of

Forty years with their vicissitudes,
trials, and difficulties have obliterated
from the tablet of memory, many of
the tragic scenes, enacted on the bat
tlefield at Appomattox on the 9th day
Of April, 1866. Two of the grandest
armies that were ever on this continent
were confronting each other, COM
manded, respectively, by the chief
commanders of the armies OF the Uni
ted States, and the Confederate States,
U. S. Grant and Robert E. Lee.

capitol of the Confederacy. and the

places, the loss of his supplies, wagon
trains artillery and many of his men,
pondered and wept over the trying or
deal and surrendered, rather than sac
rifice more of his gallant men. After
leaving Petersburg on the morning of
the End of April (Sunday) we were
on the road marching and fighting,
day and night, with the enemy in
rear, on our left, and sometimes in
our front, and constantly making at
tacks on some portion of our line OF
march, Width scant rations and but
little rest and sleep we reached Appo-
mattox on Saturday night about or
8 O'Clock and went in camp on the
road, east of the courthouse. Some
of our men We're so worn out with the
long and tedious march, that they fell
down and were soon fast asleep, with
out supper. Very early next morning.
Sunday, April the 9th, we were again
on the march in the direction of
Lynchburg; marched through Apo
mattox and formed line of battle just
beyond; General CoX's brigade on the
right of General Grimes division, and
General Roberts cavalry on the right
of General Cox. The other troops were
on the left of Lynchburg road and in
the forward movement. General Cox
moved forward by q left oblique
crossed the Lynchburg road, through
an open field, and came in contact with
the enemy at the edge Of some woods
General Cox ordered a charge and the
brigade charged with the same vim
and gallantry which characterized
it at Spottsylvania. They. soon had
the enemy in retreat and were follow
ing them up when we received orders
to withdraw, which we did with very
great reluctance. General Cox had or
ders to remain and bring up the rear
and when we attempted to retreat the
enemy thought to capture or rout US;
but General Cox ordered, about face,

AN APPOMATTOX VETERAN
TELLS OF CLOSING SCENES
Major II. A. London Reviews the Claims of North
Carolina, and Cites the Evidence, Speaking
as Witness of Last Act of Drama

The first evidence offered is the
statement written by General Grimes
in the year 1879 and published in Vol
ume II of Moore's History of North
Carolina, from which is copied the
following extract:
"On Saturday, the 8th, no enemy
appeared, and we marched undisturb-
ed all day. Up to this time, since the
evacuationtion of Petersburg, we had
marched day and night, continually
followed and harrassed by the enemy
The men were very much jaded and
suffering for necessary sustenance, our
halts not having been sufficiently long
to prepare their food, besides all our
cooking utensils not captured or aban-
doned were where we could not reach
them. This day Bushrod Johnson s
division was assigned to and placed
under my command, by order of GEN
eraI Lee. Upon passing clear stream

Bushrod Johnson's division upon my
right, with Instructions to attack and
take the enemy in the flank, while my
division skirmishers charged in front,
where temporary earthworks had
been thrown up by the enemy, their
cavalry holding the crossings of the
roads with a battery. l soon per-
ceived disposition on their part to
attack this division in flank. I rode
back and threw our right SO as to take
advantage of some bitches and fences
to Obstruct the cavalry if they should
attemp to make a charge. In the
mean time the cavalry of Fitz Lee
were proceeding by a circuitous route
to get in rear of these cross roads.
The enemy observing me placing these
troops in position, fired upon me with
four pieces of artillery. I remember

apparent that human power and en-
durance could do no more, and that
a forced evacuation of the beleaguered
city was near at hand, In anticipation
of that event General Lee caused the

full purpose in this movement has been
variously surmised by historians. If
it was to favor his retreat, as some
conclue, it was well devised, since sue
cess would have forced Grant to with
draw his left to protect his base of sup
plies and thus would have left Lee
an open road of withdrawal"
The column of attack succeeded in
seizing Fort Stedman. the movement
being eminently successful.
Now was the time for the support
ing column to- advance. Had it done
so rapidly, the advantage could have
been sustained and by a seizure of the
hill in the rear of Fort Stedman the
Federal Army would have been cut in
two at it's very centre. For some rea-
son which has never been made very
clear, this advance was not made.
Lees purpose was thus defeated by
the inaction of some commander on
whom he relied. Doubtless it was his
purpose in making this effort to Sc
cure a position from which he could

accompanied by General Fitz Lee,
came to my position, when we held a
council of war. General Gordon was
of the opinion that the troops in our
front were cavalry, and that General
Fitz Lee should attack. Fitz Lee
thought they were infantry and that
General Gordon should attack. They
discussed the matter so long that
became impatient, and said it was
somebody's duty to attack, and that

the route it was desirable our wagon
train should pursue, and that L would
undertake it; whereupon Gordon said,
''Well, drive them Off" l replied, 'I
cannot do it with my division alone,
but require assistance" He then said,
"YOu can take the two other divisions
of the corps" By this time it was be-
coming sufficiently light to make the
surrounding localities visible. I then
rode down and invited General Walk
er, who commanded a division on my
left, composed principally of Vir-
ginians to ride with me, showing him
the position of the enemy and explain
ing to him my views and plan of at
tack. He agreed with me as to it's ad-

entire accuracy and truthfulness. Be-

Naked and starved and travel-Sore,
Each man tiger, hunted,
They stood at bay as brave as Huns,
Last of the Old South's splendid sons,
FIanked by ten thousand shotted guns,
And by ten thousand fronted.
Sccrched by the cannon's molten breath,
They'd climbed the trembling walls of death
And set their standards tattered,--
Had charged at the bugle's stirring blare
Through bolted gloom and goddess glare
From the dead's Redeemed gulches, where
The searching shraDnel shattered.
They formed--that Carolina band--
With Grimes. the Spartan, in command.
And, the word of Gordon,
Through Splintered fire and sitting smoke
They struck with Iightning's scathlng stroke
Those doomed and desperate men and broke
Across that iron Gordon.
They turned in sullen, slow retreat

With one last shot hurled back the foe,
And prayed the trump of doom to blow,

Brown stated that he had found conditions good, and that every thing was now in satisfactory order on the road. Traffic on the main line continues to be a trifle light, but all the rolling stock of the road is never theless employed. It is not being fore ed to the limit, as was the case dur- ing the rush earlier in the year, bu- it is having enough to do to justify it's operation. In about thirty days it is expected that traffic will again press the road to it's limit with present equipment.
