this bright prospect before us we lay down on the

The next morning (Sunday 6th) we were or

being all the ventilation to the' lace. In front
~f this (Icor a sentinel eras placed to keep us
fretn•renting our heads cut and to watch that
we mode no attempt to emape. Soon tiller we
were put In our breakfast was is to us In a
•soaplicx, It consisted of ono loaf of bread
etch, made from unbolted meal, a small piece cf
meat. and some black-eyed peas and sand. The
quantity was anfficient to keep off hunger, but
the quality Wad very poor. We had 'to eat In
true primitive style an we were not allowed any
knives, ',.forks, apoollll, platei tor" cops, 'One
bucket of water and one tin cap was put ha every
morning, also one bucket for a sink. They gave
tte tairrecpply of blankets, but I think It wal
done by ank.take as two different persons brought
us a lot through the day.
Co the night of March 7th, about 8 p. re., at;
to we bad gone tee bed,itte door of one dungeon
wee, opened and four negates were thrust in with
us, with orders to tell - us that they Were to be
banged Ita the morning at 9 o'clock. 'As seen as
the door *as shut we -found that they were Id,
aims trim Gen- Butler's army on the James.
River which had been. sent out to.meet us and' :
.asstat us through, the General Levin, heard of
our defeat. In about an hour after they were;
put bathe door was againtime, opened nod the 'cal. , .
eyed men taken out and kept for some aud
nein brought bac' and 'put In with us. We
found oninqulry that they had taken thorn up,i
and after drilling them In the manual of arms
.forsame time, for their amusement, they made
.them kneel down on the floor. and say their:
prayers. -They then told them that they would
give them their choice, to be sold luto slavery or .
.hanged, as they were not going to keep colored
men as prisoners of war, and they need neier
look fur an emelt:pp; that they would glee ,
them three days to coeslder the matter, in the
meantime they should stay in the dungeon with
us. Those were the first negro prisoners - that
had been brought tee Richmond, and were a kind
of =betty. The Secretary of- war gave orders
that they should be put Into the dungeon with
us so part of our punishment. One of them
was wounded through the arm and the Confedo
rate surgeons would not look at it nor do any
thing for him. I had to attend to It myself.
There were now ten of us In the dungeon, and'
. we were so gloss that when we lay down we
covered the door ao tight that it was uticomfort
able eleeping. While here we saw the place
_where the torpedo was placed to order to blow
up the prison If our party bad been successful in
ente.aog the city. 'This a great many people do
not believe they ever did, but they may rest any
on - that; we have plenty of proof that it was
done. We remained in this place till. the 11th,
when we were ordered to pack up our duds and
fellow the guards up stairs. Wee were then lint
Into n cell fourteen by twenty-eight feet, in the
northeast ems, of what Wall 'known as the
Inning-room. This cell had two windows front
ing Carey street, but they were bnard-xl toe with
in one feet or the top. -This wamwhat we had
for light and ventilation. There were four offl
errs of colored regiments, that woo captured in
the distrist of the Gulf, put to with ns. They
were Captain Thos. Thornton...of Philadelphia,
Llcutenent E. Y. lirowlL'of Boston, Lieutenant
G. B. Coleman, of New York city, and Lieuten
ant L. It. Titus, of 'Vermont. There were soon
after two more negro soldiers pat In with us.
There was a table in the cell, and we had to eat
under guard, our places being assigned to-ns—
the raiders on one side and the other officers on
the other side, each with a negro soldier beside
Lim. When we were done eating all we left was
taken away, so that we could have nothing be.
twcen times, which was sometimes from 8 e.
tel 10 and 11 neat day. In one Instance It was
In the afternoon when we were brought oar
`breakfast. - •
We suffered here a great deal front cold. We
were net allowed any fire, and had to keep walk
ing up and town the cell to keep from freezing.
In oneirketance we had four inches of snow on ,
us In the morning when we awoke. We also
antlered N•cry much from smoke. There was a
stove Ore, which came out near one -of our
Windows, and the smoke came In and tilled our
room-so full at times that we could not sea across
the cell. We would have to Be with our heads
rolled up In blankets until we were compelled,.
by cold, to get np and walk about. At night our
syea were so painful that it was frequently near
morning before we could get asleep. If any of
us stood up to look out of the window and get
some fresh air the sentinel would bring his pleoe
to "ready," and order no to "Glt down from
that," or he would shoot no. When' we com
plained to the prison authorities about. It, we
wefa. told that John Morgan and his man were
better then we were, and they were pat. Into'
Normern penitentiaries, but If wo desired' It, we
could be sent to the Richmond penitentiary.
They were nil the time casting up to tts some
thing about the papers found on the body of
Cclonel Dahlgren, but they would never let ni
see them Mirpelves. We repeatedly asked for a
trial beforen military commission, but this we
could net get.. The officer that we had captured
on our marsh, came to ace us, and testified that
„ne hod not done anything on the march that
was not justifiable by the laws of war; that Col.
Dahlgren hal,treated them In a gentlemanly.
manner, and all the citizens nu the Ilea of March;
that it' was a disgrace to the Confercrate army: .
and penplotho Troy they were doing. They also
