Hardly had it started when one of the scouts--Sergeant White--informed me that there were four trains of cars at the depot loadedwith supplies for Lee's army; these had been sent from Lynchburg, incompliance with the telegram of Lee's commissary-general, whichmessage, it will be remembered, was captured and transmitted toLynchburg by two of Young's scouts on the 4th. Sergeant White, whohad been on the lookout for the trains ever since sending thedespatch, found them several miles west of Appoma...ttox depot feelingtheir way along, in ignorance of Lee's exact position. As he had theoriginal despatch with him, and took pains to dwell upon the pitiablecondition of Lee's army, he had little difficulty in persuading themen in charge of the trains to bring them east of Appomattox Station, but fearing that the true state of affairs would be learned beforelong, and the trains be returned to Lynchburg, he was painfullyanxious to have them cut off by breaking the track west of thestation. The intelligence as to the trains was immediately despatched toCrook, and I pushed on to join him with Merritt's command.
