What caused Union General US Grant to warn General Sherman about Southern troops moving south?

As General Grant's Overland campaign ran its course in 1864, he had placed many of his forces in a siege position around Richmond and Petersburg. Grant correctly calculated that General Lee now had at least 25,000 more troops than was necessary to defend both cities. He therefore warned General Sherman that Southern forces might move south to endanger Sherman's army in Georgia.

How did General US Grant conduct raids against the South in the Western Theater?

Major General US Grant sought to conduct raids against Southern supply and ammunition depots. Also against railway lines. His policy appeared to be a reversion to older methods of warfare which in part, was due to the pre-existing hostilities in this "national war". Grant recognized that there were political penalties following this course of action. Grant's planned raids did not aim to devastate the Southern population's farmlands and livestock. This lay in contrast to the policies of General Sherman as he marched through Georgia in 1864.
