Two shots and two misses. My batting average is going down.

To the tune of "Oh It's Crying Time Again".

Oh, It's Google time again.
You've gone and stumped me.

I can feel my brain cells firing in the blind.
I can tell by the way the synapse is failing,
That it won't be long before it's Google time.

Sherman and Augusta:
Some claim that an old flame, lit before the War, caused Sherman to by-pass Augusta on his march to the sea from Atlanta. Some claim that Lincoln ordered him to keep his fire happy troopers away from the cotton in Augusta that belonged to Lincoln's sister-in-law Mrs. Helm. There was, however, a Confederate ruse used against Sherman that caused him to by-pass Augusta on his march from Atlanta to the Sea. What was it?

I really don't recall that one but if I had to hazard a guess, I know the Army of Tennessee was operating hit and run against Sherman so maybe a ruse from them? Johnston and Hood wasn't it?
