aa one of the darkest times of rav

can never think of that time
without tbnuking GhI with a full
heart, for deliverance. As it is the
daikost just before dawu of day, so
there is gloam of cirowniUtious

happier days.

and banded it to tbo officer of the
guard.
Ia tba afternoon, an orderly came
into prison, and in i iirel for oie.
I aooompaoie 1 biiu to tbe Colon
el's quarter's which was a log bouse,
ia which was a fire place and two
or tureo pine tables. At one of
tbeie sut a youngish, rather nndsr
middle sized man, dressed ia gray,
Ue looked at roe with surprise,
aud said, with something of pity ia
bia voice, 'My poor fellow, can yoa
write f I took op a pen, which lay
apoa tbe table, and wrote upon a

The Colon el drew it towards him,
looked it over a moment, and said
pleasautly, '-Very goodi that will do.

"I bava bo trsps," said L "No

fore a fire, ' and - Certainly thought
myself altogether a lucky fello.
I'bo not morning Adj it ant Kovn

from his war I -robs ashirtaad a pair
of drawers, whioh I couriered very

prison) "like yonrsolf."
I soul my former wardrobe ir.lo
tbe prison to ono of my coruru cs,
and thus disposed of my vermin, or
modt of them at least.
Still I had no shoes, or any otbor
articlo of clothing, except tbo said
drawers and shirt, but thoy were
woolen and warm, and I tinglo 1 all
over with pleasant sensations from
haviug again a full stomach au 1
warm clothes. I wont at ouco to
work in iliiu r up a dead registry.
This registor allowed, when com
pleted, that over eevonteon hundred
1 leial soldiers, prisoners of war.

laldihbment, the lust of September,
Tho prison had never numbered
over liiteou thousand men, aud a
portion of the timo five thousand
would huvo covered the nnmbor con
tained, therein. Many of tbe dead
were maikeil, ' Unknown."
What a b'lidju of sorrows, disap
pointed hopes, and uiinoiies wcio
emhodiod iu that word. Tlioir'
uauies, their hietory all unknown,
uncared-for. thoy died. Some moth
er, wife, fatbor, or sister mourns
them, or vaiuly waits for tboir com
ing. Kiel sound of footsteps at the
d oor may causo their hearts throb
with expectancy j but no more iu
life shall they behold thoso facos
which ouc gladdenod thohousohold.
'Sick and iu prison," tboy died uu
known. Another lot of goods camo from
tbe sanitary commission, via Cbarlos
ton, for distribution among prison
ers during tbo middle of October.
A gum! was plaoed over them, and
a redbral officer, who by mistake
bad got into prison, was taken out
land parolod for tbe purpose of tak
ing charge of aud distributing the
K'oodx among the prisoners.
Itoxes also came through for pov-
cral prisoners. Tho instructions
wore, that all boxes should bo exam
ined, to seo that tbey contained noth
ing contrul and. The Colonel cow
mandiDg undertook tbo task.
Tbo first box opuue l bad a little
pocket bible, and on tbo fly-leaf was
writtoa the name of tbe prisoner,
with tbo words "l'rom your mother. ''
Asjif tbis inoideut bad aroused somo
tender rocolleotions of bisowa borne,
tbe Colonel turned quickly away,
saying, "Put on the cover again,
and let tho poor boy bavo bis box
jukt as bia mother paekod it,"
Of the Sanitary Commission,
goods wero sont, ao that I got a
good suit myself, and had a chance
to send my drawers, and ebirt iuto
prison for some of my friends, who
were naked. The Coloool aa Adju
tant were very jealous of any of tbo
paroled mou having communication
with tbe otbor prisoners.
I bad now beeu out at work on
the register over a week, gettiug
enough to eat, if I bad dared to eat
it. I bad to exeroise continual vigi
lanoe in regard to eating, and noth
ing but the most absolute self,
control enabled me to keep from eat

of this kiod before, whoa released

Tbo oflico whero I wrote nnd
lodged was tho quartera of Lieut.
Col, I vet son, which I have onco de
sciibed in these pages. Paper was
a scarce commodity,' nndt we were
not oxpotsod to make a very genor
ous use of it.
Reynold j tbo rebol Adjutant, had
before tho war beeu a cashier in a
bunk. Ho was very kind to his
Yankee boys, as ho termed us, aud
was quite au ublo hiihiness man.
Tbo Adjutant bad lakeu most of the
young bojs, Irom tbe prisou, and
put tbom iuto a cimp by themselves,
providing them with much hotter ra
tions tbua tbo stockudo prisoners
got.
In this manner, about one hun
dred boys, from twelve to fifteen
years ago, were oared lor, no was a
generous man. 11a had one or two
Hue-looking fullowe aruod tbo oflioe
whom be made great peta of.
The Adjutant was very droll and
humorous sometimes, and was never
:so happy as when hetoatd git Prank
oil aud another Viukea boy at.
dauciog, or eiogiog uoro or comio
songs.
o bravoly told thu women down
in the village, that theso boys woro

completely h.nubagged thou into
tbe belief, that, prompted by en lim
it)', theso Secesb dames or fouls oue
ouo day made a vieit to tho prisou
headquarters, and commenced quiz
zing the Adjutant about his suppos
ed giils, wbon be, who had instruct
ed tho boys what to say, had their
hair parted ia tbo middle, and intro
duced them nt tho headqnarteie.
Tho women asked the boys "Do

was the answer. "VI,e e do youeus
Htop at nights f "O right iu here

each Secesb dsme took her anuft'
stick, which aba bad sat chewing,
from bor month, and sat iu blank
amaxemont, aud when the Adjutant
was out, aaid among themselves,
"This lteyoolds is a dreffel man."
These womeu a afterwards wished
to look ovor tbe stockade at the
prisouors, and were so lost to all
christian feeling and decoucy aa to
say, as they saw theemaciatod forms
of bumau bodioa iu the prison,
"Uood enough for tbom Yanks i they
needu't bavo oum'd down to fit we'

generous fellow, geueroos ia bia im
pulses, yet a rebel of tba darkest
dye, for all that.

I overheard a conversation, which
took place on the tuoruiug of bis

who stood just under the cabin win
