December twenty-sixth, 1863, I wrote Major-General Butler, viz.: If Longstreet is well provided for during the inactivity of Grant and Meade, and the quiet of General Gillmore, some forces could be collected for rebel enterprises in North Carolina, during our destitute condition. After the attack on Newbern, about the first of February, I wrote as follows: In view of the great interests at stake in the State, and of the smallness of the force for its protection, I hope one regiment of cavalry and a brigade of infantry may be sent to me. A large force is much needed, and should be sent, if it can be spared without jeopardizing public interests elsewhere.

On the eleventh the enemy renewed his attack upon our intrenched position, but was repulsed with severe loss, and fell back during the night. On the fourteenth the Neuse river was crossed and Kinston occupied, and on the twenty-first Goldsboroa was entered. The column from Wilmington reached Cox's bridge, on the Neuse river, ten miles above Goldsboroa, on the twenty-second. By the first of February General Sherman's whole army was in motion from Savannah. He captured Columbia, South Carolina, on the seventeenth; thence moved on Goldsboroa, North Carolina, via Fayetteville, reaching the latter place on the twelfth of March, opening up communication with General Schofield by way of Cape Fear river.
