APRIL 7TH, 1865: Commander Macomb reported to Rear Admiral Porter on developments in North Carolina near the Virginia border: "We arrived here [Winton] from Murfreesboro last night without accident. The army force has returned and we are going back to Suffolk.
"They found Weldon too strong for them, but succeeded in cutting the Seaboard Railroad near Seaboard for about a mile. I shall lie here some time longer in order to be ready for any more troops that may wish to cross."
