SECRET-SERVICE HEADQUARTERS IN THE LAST MONTHS OF THE WAR During the winter of 1861-05, General Grant had his headquarters at City Point, Virginia, and the building occupied by the secret-serviee men is shown here, as well as a group of scouts who are as idle as the two armies in the Petersburg trenches. But a few weekswork in the opening spring, as Grant maneuvers to starve Lee out of Petersburg, and the scouts duties will beover. Sheridan willcome, too, from the Shenandoah with his cavalry scouts, the finest body of information seekers developed by the war. General Grantwas in a constant state of uneasiness during the winter, fearing that Lee would leave his strong lines around Petersburg and unite withJohnston. Consequently he depended on his secret-service men to keep him informed as to any signs of movement on the part of Lee.
