Ik KUmar.1 tTHE bravest deed of Individual t valor that came to my notice during the whole war," aald the late General Henry W. Hocnm, "was performed by a soldier in tho ranks. It waa at Bentonvllle, N. O, the last battle of Sherman's army, fought on the 19th of March, 1SC5. "On the march through the Carollnaa from Savannah toward Goldsboro I wing of Sherman's nay and General Howard the right. traveled upon roads many miles, apart. That was the stage of the great inarch which was to unite the army of the west with that of the east In front 01 -"cumoua. mat union of the forces 1 m . . .... once effected the confederacr woud be 1 doomed. On the loth of March we brushed General Hardee's Confederates out of Averysboro after a lively sktr- 1 mlsb, and Sherman was of the opinion that nardee would not stop again until he reached Raleigh. "Directing me to reach the Nense rlv er the following day, Sherman left me on the morning of the 19th to Join uownra. At mat moment there were some skirmishing and light cannomid lng on my front, but Sherman thought It trivial, for he Raid that I bud nothing to oppose me but a little cavalry. The Confederate skirmishers soon gave way, and 1 sent an aid to ride after Sherman and tell bim that I should not need assistance, but would be at tin Neuse river on time. 'Just about that time one of my nill cers brought before me a young man dressed in Confederate gray. He wa haggard and sickly looking, the reasui for vyhich was soon made known. 11 had been very auxloui to see me. ami after much heuglug on his part hi guardians had gratified him. In an ewer to my questions he said be ha i originally been In the Federal army: ti"tt wnlIt" ou a Bcoutiu8 expedition he bad been captured and narrowly miss ed summary death aa a spy. To save his. life, or at least escape the horrors of a prison dungeon, he had enlisted In the Confederate service with the inten tion of deserting to his own at the tlrst chance. I had met such characters before and was skeptical. lie told me that he had enlisted at Syracuse, N. Y., and bad been In the service all through the war. I was a resident of Syracuse myself, bnt did not recognise the man. However, Major William G. Tracy of my staff came up and saw In the 'gal vanized Yank' a soldier who had en- Hated with bim In the Third New York volunteers In 1861. Ills name was John T. Williams. Having established confidence, Williams said. There la a very large Confederate force tmmedl ately In your front, all under command of General Joe Johnston.' He added that Johnston bad made a speech to his army that morning, and the officers had told the men that It was 'old Joe's' Intention to smash my column before support could reach it and then go for Howard's. "Of course I was sorry I had sent the message to .Miermao stilting that I needed no help and remedied the blun der at once by sending a second mes sage. This was carried by a hoy mem ber of my Btafl", Lieutenant Joseph B. Foraker. As he started off I sulci to bim, 'Ride well to the right and don't let the enemy get you, and, above all, don't spare horseflesh.' He rode like Faul Revere on his famous gnilop from Boston to iA'Xlngton and reached Sher man's camp just at sundown. Sher man Immediately started a column to my aid. "Lieutenant Foraker had scarcely got out of sight of my camp when the Confederates advanced with terrific force and drove back my leading dl vision. Johnston had uuder him that day the best fighting army of Con federates In the field at that time. Gen eral Hardee's division bad been In front of us at Savannah and all the way through the Carollnaa, but there had been no fierce fighting. Ho It was fresh. General Bragg had brought down Hoke's splendid division of vet erans from the Army of Northern Vlr glnla. These troops had left the trenches at Petersburg the December previous and had been lying idle at Wilmington, and they were fresh. 'There was also a division under General A. P. Stewart from Hood's old JJ - 7"" - J not have made their way from Louisi ana to ine coast in search of more Achtlng. Besides that, there was eral Wade Hampton, comprising Gen eral Joe Wheeler's corps and the di vision of General M. C. Butler, that bad fought under Jeb Stuart and Hamp ton ta Virginia. The force waa about 20,000 men. They fought like an army of 40,000, for their leaders bad Oiled them with the hope that Sherman would be given a crushing blow If they destroyed me there at Bentonvllle, The battle took place in a dense thlelrat. wiiiph wdn vprv fm-AMlila tn ' " '"u,c vajsuxs mZ troops l, ISIS iinvt enabled thorn to throw up hasty breastworka out of view of the enemy. Johnston'a guns were well served, and the Tnjor of hts soldlcra tn charging my lines would have counted for more had his columns not been broken In pawing through tho thicket Aa It was, they rhargvd again and again until a lute hour. When night came ou I bad my army well la hand ami Intrenched. Still I had a stromr foe In mv from and could not keep my engagement to I 7,"" , nnmM ,he of .

"The Idea la generally accepted that the march of Sherman through the Carolines at that time, threatening to come up In the rear of Lee'a anm- i along the James end catch It between two fires, decided tho Issue between Lee and Urant and led to the aurrender at Appomattox. That view of the case make It plain that a blow like the oue Johnston would have been able to strike had I not been warued of bis preseme and continued my inarch with the columns struug out would have been a terrible disaster Jimt at that time. "Williams was the hero of that crl- sis, aud he took bis life In bis hands In more respet-ts than one when he t out from the Confederate camps to warn mo of my danger. There waa fir ing going on between the Confederate skirmishers and ours, so that a man risked his life pnnHing between tho Hues. Besides, If discovered by the southern people while getting nwav they would shoot hlra down, and the northerners would do the aame unless they understootl his signals. It was most fortunate for Williams ns well as for my army and the caune that he happened to run right Into the arms of an old fellow soldier, so that the Identltlcatlon of htm ami acceptance of his story did ht take five minutes, t For hi own .
