‘SHORT CONFEDERATE SUPPLIES.

The “Last Ditch" Reached—Battle of Five
Forks—Lee’s Lines Broken by a Vigor-
ous Assault—The Death of Confederate
Gen. A. P. Hill.

When Lincoln and Grant stood on the
streets of Petersburg after the occupation by
Union troops, April 3, 1865, the president said:
“Do you know, general,'I have had an idea
for some days that you intended to do some-
thing like this?” * * *

This was not an idle word, for although the
Union armies had been nine months before
the city, it had been evident for some time
that the prize could be had when the time was
ripe for it. The Confederatearmies were eat-
ing up their substance where they were, and
their only lines of supplies were under sur-
veillance of Union troops and could be cut
whenever it should be policy to dose. These
lines Were south and west of Petersburg, and
were along what was known as the Union left
flank. Here three-fourths of Grant’s force
was located, namely, the Second corps, under
Gen. A. A. Humphreys; the Sixth. under
Gen. 11. G. Wright, and the Fifth. under (Iron.
G. K. Warren.

DESPERATE STRAITS.

'Justat the beginning of winter the direct
railroad from Petersburg to W'eldon, N. C.,
the principal route for supplies for Lee’s
army, had been destroyed for a distance of
forty miles by a bold expedition under Gen.
Warren. This compelled the Confederates to

an or Parnasnune’s LINES. '
use wagons for transportation from the break
in the road to the besieged camps. To threat-
en this line the corps of Warren and Hum-
phreys and Gregg’s division of cavalry were
sent out early in February, and after some
desperate fighting the Union intrenchments
were permanently established on this route.
The road was not cut, but the nearness of the
Union troops caused the Confederates to take

a more circuitous and difficult way for their

wagonitrains. _

The ‘Weather was very severe during this
operation on the flank, and in reporting to
the Confederate war department what action
he had takento ward of! the danger to .his
lines of supply, Gen. Lee wrote on Feb. '8:
“Yesterday, the most inclement day of the
winter, they (the troops) had to be retained
in line of battle, having been in the same con-
dition the two previous days and nights. i
regret to be obliged to state that under these
circumstances, heightened by assaults and
fire of the enemy, some of the men had been
without meat for three days, and all were
suffering from reduced rations and scant
clothing, exposed to battle, cold, bail and
sleet. I have directed Col. Cole, chief com-
missary, who reports that he has not a pound
of meat at his disposal, to visit Richmond and
see if nothing can bedone. * * * The phy-
sical strength of the-men, if their courage sur-
vives, must fail under this treatment. Our
cavalry has to be dispersed for want of forage.
Fitz Lee’s and Lomax’s divisions are scattered
because supplies cannot be transported where
their services are required. I had to bring

W. F. Lee’s division forty miles Sunday night ;

to get him in position.”

This communication of Lee’s was forwarded
by Gen. John C. Breckinridge, then Confed-
erate secretary of war, to Jefferson Davis,
who indorsed upon it that that state of things
must be owing to “neglect or gross incapaci-
ty.”

Among the soldiers of both armies Athere ex-
isted a strong belief in the approachlof a peace-
ful end of the. war caused by the conference

. between President Lincoln and Secretary

Seward for the Union, and A. iii. Stephens,
J. A. Campbell and R. M.'T. Hunter for the
Confederates, and the informal exchange of
views between the belligerentsthat followed
this conference. Early in February the Con-
federate commissioners passed lthrough the
hostile lines just east of Petersburg, in sight

- of nearly all of the Union army. Their mis-

sion was speedily announced in the camps. and
the fact that along _
i n t e r v i e w took
place in Hampton
roads between them
and the president
was, of course,

through the press,
and reached the
camps of both ar-n . .. . .
mics. Followingf‘ - , _ "-,
this came at one ' i i
the question from, .
the combatants of “-9
both sides. to the if ' ’
men in front of '
them, “Do you
want peace?” On the (part of the southern
soldiers there was general willingness to ac-
cede to any terms the Unibn government
would offer, and they were harsh in criticism
of Davis and those who thought with him for
insisting upon a recognition of his govern-
ment beforethe south would treat of peace.

The winding up of the battle of Fort Sted-
man between Gordon’s Confederates and the
Ninth Union corps, on March 25, 1865, was
witnessed from a distance by President Lin-
coln, who had accompanied lGens. Grant and
Meade from City Point towards the front
and reached- a high knoll about a. mile from
the scene just as the reserves advanced upon
the captured lines.

As soon as the result of .‘Gordon’s sortie be-
came known on the Union left Gen; Hum-

, phreys, commanding the Second cops, ordered

his troops under arms. Finding the enemy’s
line weak he adyanced his men beyond the
Confederate picket line, but found the main

works too strong to carry by assault. Gen.

. and Hatcher’s Run.

these movements proved to be valuable in the
subsequent movements on this part of the
line. Late in the day the Confederates made
some desperate attempts to recapture their
picket pits, but failed. Humphreys and
Wright lost about 1,000 men in all, and the

The advantage of the day remained with the
Union army.

After March 25 there was constant firing
across the lines, both with artillery and mus
kets. The men were at the works day and
night, and sometimes the firing was as steady
as it is in battle.

FIVE FORKS AND_ PETERSBURG.

Sheridan joined the army on the 27th of
March, and the movement to the-left around
Lee’s right flank began on the 30th, having
been delayed one day by rain. The left wing

p of the Army of the Potomac had also been re-

enforced by Drd’s Army of the James, from
the north rile of the Appomattox. The Army
of the Potomac numbered 75,000 for duty;
Sheridan added 13,000 and 0rd about 17,000,
making a total of about 105,000. The Army
of the James had a reserve north of the Ap-
pomattox of about 20,000, making a grand
total under Grant at this point of 125,000.
Lee had a total at Petersburg and Richmond
on his twenty miles of defensive lines of 57,000.

The several movements on the Union left
had crowded the Confederates back to one
mad running in a general direction south-
west and lying between the Union positions
Butcher’s Run is a
swampy stream and made a good barrier
when defended at the fords. About thirteen
miles west by south of Petersburg there is a
good road crossing the run and leading to the
South Side railroad. This railroad has
Lynchburg and Danville connections and
was of highest importance to Lee in Peters-
burg. At Five Forks this road was defended
from the Union positions by intrenchments,
and at Dinwiddie Court House, five miles
southeast, there were outposts and defenses to
guard against a surprise at Five Forks.
Sheridan and the corps of Warren, Wright
and Humphreys moved together toward the
Union left, and Lee sent out Gen. R. H. An-
derson, with detached divisions, to cope with
this strong force. Fitzhugh Lee was in com.
mand of the Confederate cavalry in this
vicinity, and his chief ordered him to defend
Five Forks.

Fitz Lee advanced to Dinwiddie Court
House with his cavalry, and fought Sheridan
there on the 30th. On the 3lst Sheridan’s
entire force fought Fitz Lee, Rosser and W.
H. F. Lee, with some infantry under Gen.
George H. Pickett, who commanded the force
in the trenches at Five Forks. That night
Fitz Lee retired all of his force to the forks,
and on the Union side Warren’s Fifth corps
was added to Sheridan’s command and
marched to the left to join him. Dispositions
were now made to attack the intrenchments
:at Five Forks. where Pickett had five bri-
gades of infantry and ten guns. The cavalry
of Gen. T. T. Mumford and of W. H. F.
Lee was on the right and left flanks.

Sheridan’s plan ‘was to move his cavalry up
so as to threaten the position and engage the
enemy, while Warren’s troops should assault

:and carry the point of the works on the \

White Oak road. Owing to ignorance of the
ground and the confusion‘of names of roads
and farms, the lines werevnot formed until 4
olclock in the afternoon,.April 1, when the
a53ault was made. Warren found the point
of the line much farther to the west than
Sheridan supposed it to-be, but he carried it,
and in ashort time had placed Crawford’s
division squarely in the rear of Pickett’s,
across the coveted ford road. The Confed-
crates lost six guns, 4,500 prisoners and thir-
teen flags. Warren took 3,244 prisoners, four
guns and eleven flags. His loss was 634 kill-
ed, wounded and missing. The cavalry loss
was slight. It was for an alleged want of
activity in this battle that Gen. Sheridan

peremptorily removed Warren from his com-
mand.

During the night Gens. Mumford and W.
H. F. Lee moved their cavalry back to the
crossing of Hatcher’s Run, by the South Side
railroad. Here Gen. Fitz Lee and Gen. R. H.
Anderson arrived also with their commands,
and Lee stood ready to defend his last posi-
tion. Promptly on the arrival of news that
Sheridan had carried Five Forks Gen. Grant
ordered a demonstration on the Petersbiil'g
lines. The Second corps attempted to carry
the trenches on its front, but found the cue.
my toe active. A bombardment was kept
up all night, and Gen. Grant ordered an as-
sault at 4 o’clock on the morning of the 2d
with the men of Ord’s, Wright’s and Parke’s
commands. The point chosen for the Sixth
corps was to the left of the Weldon railroad,
where Union Forts Fisher and Welch were
located. The Confederate picket pits in front
of these forts had been taken on the 25th of
March, and they now odered shelter for the
massing of troops to storm the high parapets
which formed the Confederate line here.

Gen. Parke was to move on his own front
opposite Fort Stedman and between the Nor‘
folk railroad and the Jerusalem plank road.
Wright’s Sixth corps carried all before them,
pressing on to the South Side railroad. leav-
ing, however, the original defenses encircling
Petersburg on their right rear. This com-
pelled Wright to face about and form a new
line. 0rd and Humphreys also carried the
workson their front,- and, pressing through
to Hatcher’s Run, cut the Confederate army
south of the Appomattox in two. Parke’s
Ninth corps troops ‘took the outer lines in
front of them, but could not carry the inner
lines. The Confederate artillery was all in
position and swept every foot of ground along
the whole front. Several attempts were made
by Gen. Gordon, who still commanded in
front :of the Ninth cerps, to retake the ground
seized by Parke, but they all failed. Gen. A.
P. Hill was killed on this line while going out
to lead his troops against the assailants, who
had broken through the intrenchments.

Up to this time Gen. Longstreet had been'

north of the Appomattox confronting the
,Army of the James, but the situation in
{Petersburg drew him, with Field’s division,
tothescene of the new danger. ‘The river
zr<hds along the Appomattox running into
{Petersburg from the south were held by 0rd
{and Wright. Near where they passed the.
'Comederate defenses there were two strong
workmForts Gregg and Whitworth.‘ Fort
Grefl‘ hada garrison of200men and mounted

 

 

and three guns.

When 0rd and Wright formed their new
lines the division of Gen. Foster, Gibbon's
Twenty-fourth corps, was in front of‘ Gregg
and Whitworth, and, advancing under. a
severe fire, found a wide ditch obstructing
the Way and batteries cannonading the
whole field. A division of supports came up
and two brigades assaulted Fort Gregg, and
one Fort Whitworth. After a stubborn
fight Fort Gregg yielded and Whitworth
was then abandoned. There were 55 dead
Confederates in Fort Gregg, and Gibbon lost
over 100 killed and 600 wounded.

The Confederates were now completely sep-
arated, one column being on the South Side
railroad confronting Sheridan and Hum-
phreys, who had swept westward along the
track from Petersburg, and the other being
in the contracted lines at Petersburg and
along the James river toward Richmond.
Lee was at Petersburg. It was past noon on
Sunday, April 2. The fall of Forts Whit-

worth and Gregg and the failure to dislodge ,

Gen. Parke’s Ninth corps east of the city do.
cided the fate of that place, and Lee ordered
preparations to be made for abandonment
that night.

Sheridan was pressing on to get his force
of cavalry and infantry, the Fifth corps be-
ing still under his command, between Lee
and Danville, the natural course for him to
retreat. At Petersburg the Union com-
manders remained alert for every oppor-
tunity to strike a telling blow. The pickets
kept pressing up to the opposing lines, but at
no point in the old works could a weak place
be found.

The Confederates gave a good account of
themselves in defending their “Last Ditch.”
The Union intrenchments extended from the
Appomattox river below the town to the
river above, and Gen. Grant ordered a heavy
bombardment to be begun at 5 o’clock on the
morning of the 3d. This was to be followed
by a grand assault at 6 o’clock. But prepar-
ations were going on quietly in Lee’s lines for
evacuation. and this was to be accomplished
before the hour fixed for assault. In this
campaign, beginning on March 30 with Sher-
idan’s and Fitzhugh Lee’s encounters at Din-
widdie Court House, the Union Captures had -
amounted to 12,000 men, or about one-fifth of
Lee’s force. in the death of Gen. A. P. Hill,
a corps commander, the south lost one of its
most fiery leaders. It was he of whom “Stone-
wall” Jackson spoke in his delirious moments
on his death bed, when he said: “A. P. Hill.
prepare for action l”

Hill was the last of the prominent leaders
of the southern army to fall, and his death
was tragic. He had been in Petersburg dur-
ing the lst of April, while Sheridan was
fighting Pickett at Five Forks, and on the
morning of the 2d had gone, in obedience to
orders from Lee, to prepare his troops to re-
enforce Pickett. Hill’s troops, now consist-
ing of the divisions of Heath, 0. M. Wilcox
and Mahone, were occupying intrenchments
on Lee’s right in front of the positions now
held by the Union corps under Wright and
Humphreys. When these commanders made
their attack on the morning of the 2d they
broke through the Confederate lines com-
pletely, and those Confederates who were on
their left, or the Petersburg side of the break,
were compelled to flee back towards the Ap-
pomattox and make a detour to join their fel~
lowson the right of the break. Wright and
Humphreys pushed on so rapidly that the
Union and Confederate troops were at times l
on the same line in alternate spaces.

Hill was on foot passing along the region
of the battle, and seeinga body of men whom
he supposed from their position to be Con-
federates, he hurried toward them only‘to
learn on drawing near that they were one-
mies He now started across a field to gain
the road near the
Appomattox where
his friends were
marching, out
came upon a party
-of Union soldiers
who were sepan
ed from their rcom~
m a n d . 'One of
these, seeing a man
, in g r a y within
8 , what were now the

' Union lines, fired
GEN‘ A‘ P‘ mm“ without warning;
and Hill fell without an opportunity to de-
fend his life. The men among whom Hill had
fallen belonged to the Sixth corps and were
considerably in advance of their main line,
having, in fact, madea rush from the cap-
tured Confederate trenches toward the Appo-
mattox. Their impetuous movement was
without the orders of their commanders, and
hence had not been followed up by the usual
supports. Gradually the enemy had rallied
after their surprise, and Gen. Lee, who was in
the vicinity,came in person to the scene.

Calling for A. P. Hill, and not finding him,
he soon learned that he had ventured on
dangerous ground and, dead or alive, was in
the hands of the Union troops. Lee now or-
dered a charge over the ground where Hill had
last been seen, the scattered troo s of the
Sixth corps were driven back and. ms body
was recovered. Hill was a native of Vir-
ginia, and had received West Point training
and served in the Mexican and Semm' ole wars.

 

The successes of Wri ht and Humphreys in '

carrying the Conf crate intrenchments
south of Petersburg completed the work of
the siege, which had been kept up nearly ten
months. It is true that Petersburg was not
surrounded, but its southern exits were cut
off. It could communicate with Richmond,
but Richmond was invested north and ' east,
and the play of twenty miles between the two
places and a single outlet to the westward

mm a point between the two was all that re-
mained now to the army with Lee, the chief
reliance of the Confederacy.

The losses in the siege have never been sepa-
rately computed. The lines under Grant’s
control extended from Petersbu'rg to Rich-
mond and two armies o ated upon them,
the Armies of the Potomac and of the James.
Each of these armies re-enfo the other in
the different battles and their losses figure to-

ether in the reports. The fighting at Peters-
fiurg began J une 9, 1864, when the troops of
the Army of the James attempted to seize the
place in advance of the arrival of Lee’s army.

 

UNION BATTERY ON THE JAMES.
From the 15th of Juneto the close of the

, fighting in the trenches pn April 2,
4865, here had been constant colhsipns along
the lines, collisions varying from icket vol-
leys to actual battles. The Conf crates had
acted on the defensive with the exception of
the assault at Fort Stedmun, March ?5. 1365.
and the attempts made at various tunes to
drive 03 the forces Grant laced m observa—
tion along the Weldon during the sum-
mer and fall of 1864. The siege was one of

Where Frost Fish Spawn.

It is probable that the frost fish has made
the Raritan its favorite and special spawning
rendezvous ever since that river has been
doing business for itself. Tradition says that
Old John Inian, who in the early part of the
Seventeenth century built the first home in
Priginore’s swamp, and, where the Albany
street bridge now is, run the first rope ferry '
in New Jersey, was one bitter February
morning ferrying a passenger across on the
ice, when, happening to look through the
crystal clear covering, he saw that the river
had turned to molten silver and was running
up stream with a volume and persistence that
indicated a bad leak somewhere in the lower
bay. John was not one of the kind of old
men who become paralyzed with astonish—
ment. He was practical. He took a maul
and broke a hole in the ice to see what that
silver would assay to the quart. He then
discovered that the silver sheen was the pas-
sage of a few billions of frost fish on their
way to the spawning grounds, which were
then near where Bound Brook now is. ——New

A Female Paradox.
Woman’s cruelty to her own Sex has been i
often noticed, and yet this paradox remains '

to be explained—47in, that she has keen do i .,
light in hearing or reading eulogiums by men '

on the female sex in general, and nothing i
more readily gains a man her dislike than ibis i
expressed condemnation of woman. Friend- l
ship between women is rare. They ia‘l‘e com— l
petitors or rivals in the fashionable and matri- 5
menial races, and therefore “friendship be- l
tween women is only a suspension of hostil-
ities.” Their relation to each-other is one of
simulated afiection. They kiss each other in
pretended friendship in order to hide the ill
feeling with which each ragards the other. I
speak, of course, of the average woman.—
