THE BIBLE AND SHAKESPEARE: A TER
. CENTENARY SONNET.
[BY CHAS. J. LITEXHS.]
The books of books, when first in English given,
Was, e'en by churches, held so scarce and dear,
That, when the people thronged from far and
near,
Twas chained, to keep it at the desk unriven
Then—all were eager for the scroll of Heaven;
But hardly hoped to own its words of cheer :
Now—all possess it, though the most lend ear
To commentaries; and have scantly thriven.
So, Shakespeare, whom the nations love and
praise;
But greatness, goodness ever have their crosses:
The few have always scrutinized his lays;
the many, judging from his acted plays,
And dwelling on the multifarious glosses,
Ne'er feel the poet's might—the skimmer's losses.

THE FORT PILLOW MASSACRE
GRAPHIC STATEMENT BY AN EYE-WITNESS
ORBIBLE ATM/C.IIIES OE THE REBELS
[From the St. Louis Democrat of April 22d. ]
Ldward B. Benton, a citizen, resident of Fort
pillow. who was present at the inhuman massa
cre by the rebel troops under Forrest at Fort .Pil
low, was examinea at Department Headquarters
On Tuesday, by Major Bond, A. D. G. The testi
mony was taken by William Thorpe, Esq., pho
nographic reporter, of this city, and is as follows:
1 was born in Waltham, Vermont,
Question. Where have you resided last
Answer—l was in Missouri, engaged in furnish
ing beef to the Government troops on the North
JY.Lissouri road until a year ago last July. I then
vent down to Fort Pillow, and have been there
ever since.
L Q. What was your business there?
I A I owned 215 acres of the fort, bordering on
the river, and the very land we fought on. 1 was
puttingin a hundred acres of cotton just onts,de
of the fortifications, which was my principal
business
Q. 'Von lived outside the fort?
A. Yes, sir; I slept there. I was in the fort every
day. It was only about a mile from the landing—
ot a mile from the fortifications.
=EI
Q. Just say when you saw Forrest's men—
about the day and the time of day, and what you
didl
A. On Tuesday morning, the 12th of this mouth,
I was awakened by about five o' clock, or half
'ast five o' clock, by a little darkey boy, who came
into my room and says. "Oh, Air. Benton, all of
Forrest's men have come, and they are just going
into the fort to take it—what will Ido I got out
abed and looked out of the window towards tne
fort and saw about three or four hundred of For
rest's men -drawn up in line and some one was
risking a speech to them, which was answered by
cheering. They cheered and then the pickets fired.
1 put some things in my valise and started for. the
fort in my roundabout way, and got in by running
the pickets, about six o' clock, and went imme,4l
- to Major Booth and asked for a gun, and teak
may stand with the soldiers inside the breast works,
where I remained and shot at every person of For
rests' men that I could get a chance—firing forty
eight shots in all—until the flag of truce was
Sent in.
BILANEFUL CONDUCT UNDlir. A FLAG OF THUGS.
Q. What was the time of day it came in
A. It came in about two o' clock; .T. should think
About half-past one or two o'clock in the alter
noon.
Q. Had they made any attack then ?
A. Oh yes, sir.
Q. Had- they tried to carry the fort by storm
Sind been repulsed?
A. Oh yes sir. At one time the Confederate troops
bad all disappeared.
Q. Were four hundred all there werel
A. Those were all I saw there, this was when
they first made their appearance when I first saw
this lour hundred. After getting into the Fort we
saw more than a thousand coming in at the differ.
ent passes, and the sharpshooters were stationed
on every hill on every side of us, except the river
side.
Q. Do you recollect how many attacks they
made to carry the Fort before the flag of truce
Came?
A. We fled twice.. It is not proper to be called
fin attack.
Q. Did they use artillery?
A. Yes, sir. They could not hurt us with that.
they shot at the gunboat.
Q. When the flag of trnce came in did they make
any disposition of their troops around the Fort
there 7
A. Yes, sir. After the flag of truce was sent,
and the firing ceased, they came up on all sides to
Within ten yards of the very embankments that
screened us.
Q. While the flag of truce was waiting ?
A. Yes, sir, more especially the northern side—
just unoer the bank lookingtoward Coal creek.
Q. Row long 'was that flag inside our lines
A. One hour was the time—l suppose it was all
--Of an hour.
Q. Do you know the nature of it?
A. It was for an unconditional surrender.
Q. It was refused by Major Booth?
A. By Major Bradford—yes, sir—Major Booth
had been killed. He asked time to consult with
the gunboats, and finally returned, answered that
there were none of Havrkins's men there, and he
never would surrender.
Q. Did' t Major Bradford make any protest
against the troops coming up under the flag in that
way'?
A. I don't know, str.
Q,. 'When the Bag went back, did they commence
firing again 4
A. Yes, sir
Q. Kept it up for how lone
A. They commenced firing again, but the firing
didn't lest fifteen m'nutes; up to this time there
had not been twenty killed on onr side.
STRENGTH 01 , THE GARRISON
Q. What was the strength of the garrison?
A. Five hundred and eighty, I think, just.
Q. How many of these were negroes?
A. About three hundred and eighty—nearly four
hundred; I don't know exactly to a man.
Q. How many citizens besides yourself?
A. Wrn. W. Cutler, 4f Chicago and a young
man by the name of Roblheron; he was a soldier,
but in citizen's clothes, and got off on that plea.
HOW THE FORT WAS CAPTURED..
Q. The second flag that came in—about how
long after the first?
. .
A. Well, there was no second flag of truce, ex
cept the one; there was no firing in the interim.
Q. Was there any firing while the first was in ?
A. No, sir ; not a single shot was fired on either
side. After the flag of truce had been rejected. or
the surrender.rejected. they were so close to the
Sort that about three hundred just sprung rignt in,
and the whole garrison threw down their arms at
once. The bigger portion of the darkies jumped
down the bank towards the - Mississippi river,
- "without any arms at all, and were followed by
Forrest' s men, and shot indiscriminately, black
and white, with handkerchiefs held over them in
a great number of instances—as many as fifty,
should think.
yon
THH PRISONERS.
Q. Did see any of these persons formed in
line and shot down'?
• A. Yes, sir.
~ Q. How manyl
A. They were collected, at tast I should think,
'llveor six different times.
Q. How long a line?
A. Well, it was more in a collection than it was
properly in a straight line. There was a line pro
bably as long as this room—about thirty or thirty
five feet.
Q. These lineswere scatteredby rebel sliJts eeye
lal
A. Yes, sir.
Q. These men were unarmed?
A. Unarmed. No arms of any description, and
held up both hands, begging for quarter.
Q.
.Were you put in the line?
A. No, sir, I was not. It was attempted to put
Me in line, but I clung to a man who tried to shoot
me, and I caught his gun and prevented him, and he
took my money from me—some seventy dollars—
and ordered me into line, raising his gun to strike
Me; and as I came to the line, the Captain made a
feint to strike me with hiss word, and told me to
give him my pocket book, which I did, but, as he
turned to put in others, I sprung away and clung
close to this man that had first taken my money.
I said to him that he had taken all the money, and
be must keep me from being shot like a dog, as 1
Was a citizen, and had nothing to do with the
fight. He abused me in every way by bad lan
guage, saying that we had fought them like devils,
and tried to kill all of Forrest's men, until
We came to the back stores, where he
gave me a soldier's coat, and told me to wait a
moment until he could step in and steal his share.
As soon as I was left I took some clothing. a sad
dle, a blanket and a halter that were there, and
;darted out of the fort as one of Forrest's men. On
the way I saw three persons shot—mulattoes and
blacks—shot down singly, in cold blood. I suc
ceeded in getting over the fortifications and hid
under fallen timber, where I remained until dark.
After dark I attempted to go towards Hatchie
river bottom, but the fallen timber being so bad I
got lost and wandered near the pass No. 2, leading
out of the fort, inside of it, where I could see all,
'where I laid-until the next day,about two o' clock.
/heardfifty-one or two shots fired singly at different
times within the fort during that time, and screams and
Cheers.
mooreourrns ,ON THE TEAM.
About two o' clock the dogs were getting so clone
to me that I knew they were on my track,
Q. What do you mean by “the dogs 7"
A. Bunting out people everywhere. They have
dogs.
Q. They had bloodhounds 7
A. Yes, sir. I left the most of my clothing and
hastened down a ravine in the timber, and kept on
through the ravine till I came toothe Coal Creek
bottom, some mile and a half, and swam across.
I finally succeeded in getting to the island. I had
to swim across the river and a bayou. That is all
I saw.
BIIENINII THEIR PRISONERS.
oh, I was their at the fort two days after the
battle, and saw the remains of burnt persons;
helped to bury one of the dead that I saw shot in
cold blood,' lying right where he was left, and
saw many of them, white and black, all buried
together, and a number three days afterwards not
buried.
Q. How many did you see shot in this way?
A. I should think probably about two hundred.
Q. It was an indiscriminate but3laery, was hi
A. Yes, sir. There were about fifteen or twenty.
E. 11 lay clese in a pile, huddling close together,
sl.ot after they were wounded.
WOUNDED SOLDIEBE SIIST BEGGING FOR QUARTER.
Q. Some white soldiers shot alter they were
wouadedil •
A. Yes, sir, With the hospital flag flying and
they holding white hs nd kerchiefs over their heads.
I saw at least ten soldiers shot individually, with
white bar clerchiefs over their heads. They tore
off pieces of their shirts—anything they could ga
g. You say these men were shot in hospital,
with flag flying'?
A. Yes, sir, lying right down 'tinder it—not up
'making at all. Every man lying near me was
killed—lying elose to me and on me. Two lay un
der, because they kept piling right up on top close
under the bank. It was just down under the brow
of the hill. A great many lying in the water were
slot. Trees that were lying one end.ia the water
and the other on the shore they would just go over
on the other side of these and hide, and the rebels
w,4lci go over and shoot them.•
Q. Your citizen's clobtlies saved you!
A,. Yes, sir. I told them that I had nothing to
do with them. They robbed every citizm, and
took oil all their clothing.
Q. How ranch did they take from you?
A. Seventy dollars.
Q. You say you were robbed twice?
A. Yes; once by the captain of the company and
once by the private. I carry my money in my
vset pocket always, and had my pocketbook In
my pocket with notes in it.
(.t. That was what you gave to the zap tain,
wasn' t it?
A. Yes, sir
Q. And severity dollars in money to the soldier?
A. Yes, sir; he asked, "Give me your money,''
and bie other asked for the poeket-book.
A SYM'ATIIIZEI: TIIEEID EY DOGS.
st - , Q. You say they had blood-houuds; did you tee
an v of them?
A. Yes, sir; , and not only I, but others, saw'
them. One other—Mr. Jones—was treed by them,
maul stayed there a long time.
Q. What Jones was that?
A. I don't know his given name. He lives on
Island 31. I can find out hit name. He is no: any
'too good a Union man, but he is rather Southern in
his feelings.
4, State about Bradford's death—when he was
shot, and what was done: Was he wounded be
fore the surrender?
A. No, sir, but it was reported by very reliable
persons that Bradford was shot and hung near
Covington, in Hachie river bottom..
it. Who told you this !
A. This same Jonas, and there were some darkies
came on to the gunboat and said that. Darkey evi
dence is very correct- there. You miLht not think
it worth while, to take the evidence, but it is a
great deal more to be relied upon than the Southern
evidence there. I may state I was inquired atter
by a large number of officers, and it was mud they
would hang me on a Hag pole there.
Q. What fur
A. From the fact that I employed Government
darkies from Colonel Phillips, al Memphis.
Q. On your plantation
A. Yee, sir, and they shot all my horses unfit
for cavalry.
SAVAGE TREATIFEET or tintth.O.t.S.
Q. Did they shoot your darkits ?
A. I understand they did, and burned them all.
I understand they took one yellow woman and
two or three boys escaped that I tried to take to the
fort with me in the morning to help light. The
balance, •a darkey, whose name I do not know,
said they were killed and burned in the house.
Q. You_didn't go back there then
I didn't go back there : that Is only what is
told me. It was told to persons that were hid
right near, and I saw persons bury the bodies after
they were burned.
Q. Where ?
A. In the fort,. sir
Q. Burned in the housein connection with the
Fort buildings ?
A. Yes sir, and out on timber. There was a
large number of them buried in the building, but
they bad been buried the day before.
Q. You say there were five hundred and eighty
en, you think, in the fort ?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. How many do Ton suppose escaped'
A. Well, I know there wore more than a hun
dred. As they marched. ont there. surrounded by
the other troops, I would not think there wEre
filly of them.
IPEGILOVI nrniED ALIVE
There are five darkies in Cairo hospitals who
ive•e buried alive. Two of them have died since
they got there.
Q. Did you see any of those men buried alive?
A. No, I didn't, but they are facts that cau be
easily proved by the darkies themselves and thoide
who saw it done, and caw the llnartermastei
burned too.

Dr. Wm. H. Gregg—Dear Sir: In February.
itscii, I was afflicted with sugar diabetes, and for
five months I passed more than two gallons of
water in twenty-lour hours. I was obliged to get
up as often as ten or twelve times during the night,
and in live mouths I lost about fifty pounds in
weight. During the month of July, 1241, I pro
cured two bottles of Constitution Water, and in
two days after using Lt I experienced relief, and
atm taking two bottles I was entirely cured; soos
alter regaining my usual good health.
Yours truly, J. V. L. DEWITT.

Wm. H. Gregg .k Co.—Gents—l freely give you
liberty to make use of the following Certificate of
the value of Constitution Water, which I can re
commend in the highest mnnuer:
My' wife was attacked with pain in the
shoulders, whoie length of the back, and in her
limbs, with Palpitation of the heart and Irritation
of the Bladder. I called a physician, who at
tended her three months, when he left her worse
than be had found her. I then employed one of
the best physicians I could Lind. wno attended tier
for about nine months. :Ind while shb was uncle'
nis care she did not suffer quite as 'much pain.
kle finally gave her up and said, her case was in
curable. "For," said he, "she • nag i such
a combination of complaints, that medicine given for
one operates against some other of her difficulties. I
About this time she commenced the else of the
CONSTITUTION WATER, and, to cur utter astonish
ment, almost the first dose seemed to have the de
sired effect, and she kept on improving rapidly
under its treatment, and now superintends entirely
her domestic affairs. She has not taken any of the
CONSTITUTION WATER for about four weeks, and
we are happy to say that it has produced a perma
neutcure. W111..111. VAN BENSCHOTEN.
WETHERSFIELD, Conn., March 2, 1883.
Dr. W. H. Gregg—Dear Sir—Having seen your
advertisement of " , Constitution Water," recom
mended for inflammation of the Kidneys and Irri
tation of the Bladder, having suffered for the past
three years, and tried the skill of a number of phy
sicians with only temporary relief, I was induced
to try your medicine. I procured one bottle from
your agents at Hartford, Messrs. Lee,
Sisson &
Co., and when I had used half of it, to my sur
prise I found a great change in any health. I have
used two bottles of • it, and am where I never ex
pected to be in my life, well, and in good spirits.
I cannot express my gratitude for it; Lfeel that it
is all and more than you recommend it to be. May
the blessing of God ever attend yon in your labors
of love. Yours, truly,
LEONARD S. BIGELOW.
