Several times I bad conversations
With Iversoa sod tho Adjutant in
relation to tbe treatment of the prig

wlicb my natural hnatineas often
got tbo butter of my cantion, and I
xprensed myself pretty freely. The
Colootl defended tbe nso of a dead
Mm, saying it was copied from our
prison regulations, aud very gravely
attd that tbe Federal treatment of
rebel prisoners was as bad as theirs.
.'Tbo treatment," said be," on both
ides is cruel.
He instanced tbe treatment of
.prisoners at Fort Delaware, aud said
'ono of the boys of bis regiment

admitted it was through the ruacaU
tty of the officers in charge of tbo
listribotion of rations.
-They bad tents," said I. "yes,"

nny for you, nor for onr own men,
od closed the conversation by going
oat. Some of my comrades, engag
ed in writing on tbe register with
no, said. "Doo the oolooel has got
bia mad op, and you'll be sent into

Dutaide, overheard the remark, and
coming in at tbe door, indirectly re-
' iroved tho spoaker, by coldly saying,
, J Mvor think loss of a man who has
convictions which are not changed
by bis oroumstances.
"I can trust such men." There

Integrity and intellect was a very
f low one. U was very much preju-

TMMlhat the general physical and

as owing to long suffering.
"' He would sometimes say in my

I will not vouch for tbe truth of
the following incident, which be
wan-in the habit of relating in a
manner which would luist hive

rear by elovaling bis coat tail oa bis

Then looking nronnd npon the
groups of men, he said, "Now boys

Tho person addressed as Eph

him in pathotic tones of remon

Addressing the Sorgoant of tho re

Reynolds, "without seoing me, away

During tbe second week out on
parole, about thirty men belonging
to oue of our merehantmen, captur
ed just off New York harbor by a
rebol cruiser, where brought into
prison,
Iversoa parole 1 the officers, bat
turned the ooramon sailors into the
prison to take thoir lack with the
prisoners, The officers, who bad
enough to eat and good clothes,
thought outside life about tbe hard
est of anything tbey ever beard of,
and were ranoh surprised when I
told them I thought thoy ought not
to grumblo, when men inside the
tockade were atarviug.
Tito officers, Lieatonant Luke and
Lioutenant J. Long, were cap
tured while trying to escape from
Columbia, and were brought into
Florence prison about this time.
Lieutenant Iong, was captured in
tho same battle . with soma of my
oomrados, and as I was personally
acquainted with hint, I slyly gave
bim olothos, and went to the Colo-,
nel, at risk of being sent into tbe
stockade again, and interoeeded for
good quarters and food for thom,
whioh were given.
Tbe last of November, order
came from general Uardeo to oom
raeuce making out parole roll for
tbe aiok and wounded prisoner at
Florence, who were to be sont to
Charleston, at the rate of two thou
sand every day or every other day,
f, with otbors, went to work npoo
those parols. What a joyfal day it
was to those men, at last tbey rea
lized that they wero going home,
aud with trembling, eager baads
tbey signed their parol of f-ee iomi
I was at work making oat these
parole rolls, wben a poor creator
oarae with tottering steps to the
table, sod tried to sign his name,
"You'll bave to write my name,
aid be j ''I'm not tbe man I was
wben yon and I were oaptured at
Lookout mountain," I looked np
and reoogohwd. fa this shattered
wreoJa of humanity a sergeant who.

I left my writing to another eleik
while he1ed the p tor fallow to ray
log but, aSl gave dim warm driuk

The poor fulljw tried to thank me,
but broke down, crying like a child.
Ho was not very ooberent in his
speech. Ho could only say repeat
wily. "Do you think wo are- going
homi-f" I answon-d him of the fact,
and loft him to resume my duties.
Afterward, when roturnod, be
was gone.

Day 'after day I wrote on the

was Intrnmqn'a1 in gotling
several of ray comra Jos out of ni ison
it my own behalf, when was told
t be oontqutod ; or go back to the
stockade, I almost gave up in dis.
pair, and thought if 1 d not got out
along with tho i.k. I will g it o it in
the futuro, if I ouly kjup up our
age.
Aftor q'lito a doliy in transporta
tion, an order caiuj from general
Hurdee, . to bavo fifteen huudrod
priuouers ready for transportation
on tho afternoon of tho next day.
The names were placed ou rolls,
giving rank, regimout.au I company,
after which the prinouers signed
their namas. or ma le their marks.
Tlieso rolls woro iu triplicate, nnd
each roll contained, I believe, about
thico hundred names, I.iko our
Army rolls, no erasures were allowed.
Whon tho order caino, I nuked tho
Adjutant if I could put my name
down on the rolls,
lie turuod to mo, and then walk
ed away, muttering soiuotliitig, and
I procoeded to put my name down
among the paroled nick ai I woua 1
od, I theu male out triplicates for
tho rolU, containing about tlnoj
hundred names each, and anxioiinly
awaited results.
An officer comraonood calling tho
rolls, each man stepping out into
line as tho names wore called. The
decisive moment at length arrivod.
My name was callod.
I laid d wn my pen, took my hat
and stood in line. ''Here! ere!"
exclaimed both the Adjutant and
Colooel, in chorus," what does this'
mean !" "I thought you told me,"
said I, with foiguod surprise, "tint
I could go homo with this squad,
.tdjutant."
Tbe Adjutant laughed, tbo Colono!
looked pleasaut, and I took courage
"Well," said Colonel Iverson, after
a pause, "you can go ;but you urnst
confess that it is a d d yankee
triok." When at last I loft, on my
way to tho cars, the Adjutaut said
"I'm glad for you 1 1 iutend you to
go soon,
I expect next yoa will bo telling
tbe yankeos what a d d rascal A I
jutant Reyuolds is as, and bis pre
dictions became true I am telling all
about bim in these pagos.
I loft Florence that night We
were placed on top, and inside of

day, and arrived at Charleston
about twelve o'clock next night. Tbe
wind blew bard and it was bitterly
cold, wben we were ordered off the
cars, and bad ration of bard-tack
given us. Prisoner bore and there
lay dead and dying, a borriblo
spoctaole of southern barbarity.

promised land, that tbey should die.
It was very cold the next morning,
