Seriously hoping that all our difficulties may be settled without the loss of another life, I subscribe myself, etc. "U. S. GRANT, Lieutenant-General. On this morning of the 9th, General Ord's command and the 5th corps reached Appomattox Station just as the enemy was making a desperate effort to break through our cavalry. The infantry was at once thrown in.
I send this by a negro I see passing up the railroad to Mechlenburg. Love to all. "Your devoted son, "Wm. B. TAYLOR, Colonel." General Grant, who on the 5th was accompanying General Ord's column toward Burkeville Junction, did not receive this intelligence till nearly nightfall, when within about ten miles of the Junction.
Then Ord's world became only a world of sound, and only by hearing he kept his hold upon Things. All the profit that he had out of his days was here some song from the hills or there the voice of the birds, and sound of the stream, or the drip of the falling rain.
