EXPERIENCES IN CAPTIVITY.
===
How Our Captured Soldiers are Treated
by the Rebels
THE OFSTITUTION AND SUFFERING
IN THE SOUTH
Thomas Taft, a sergeant in the 124th New
York Volunteers, who was wounded and taken
prisoner at Gettysburg, and has but recently
been released from prison in Richmond, fur
nishes an interesting account of.nis experiences
while in captivity, from which we extract the
following s using his; o Wlt language:
THE MARCH TO RICHMOND
"We left the field of Gettysburg on the 4th
of July, starting on foot - for Staunton,. two
hundred miles distant. We reached Williams ,
port on the Potomac, on the fith of July.—
, Hero we had an opportunity of seeing the
means employed by the enemy in 'bringing,
across supplies to their army. The Qnly thing
they had to cross with was an old ferry boat
that was forced across the river by the current.
This boat would carry about sixty men at a
time. They were all one day and nearly alt
night taking us over—about three thousand in
number. The rebels had laid a pontoon bridge
across the river two or three miles beloW Wil
liamsport, but'our cavalry had destroyed it a
few days before we reached the river. Between
Hagerstown and Williamsport we passed over
ground that but a few hours before had been
the scene of a bloody engagement between
Stuart's cavalry and a small force of cur cav
alry under Kilpatrick. The 6th Now York
,were in this engagement. The dead men and
horses were still lying on the field where they
fell; all of the officers and nearly all the privates
had been stripped of their clothing by. the
rebels, and then ieft unburied.
ROW ERR PRISONERS WERE LID
" When we reached - the river wo had marched
over forty utiles, and in going that distance
our captors had given us ono pint of flour, half
pound of fresh meat, and a little salt. We
mixed the flour on a piece of a barrel head, and,
baked on a fiat atone in trout of the fire•
IV. PATITSYIU TOWN
" The neat day, 'after creasing the river, ore
marched fifteen miles, passing through Martins•
burg, which is, without exeeption; the most
patriotio place I ever saw. Philadelphia is noth
ing when compared with it. The people told
us to keep up goodopurase, for the 'Stars and
Strirns were coming and not far in the roar.---
I was surprised to hear this from. people living
in Virgil:4a. There was a whole brigade of
rebels encamped in and around the town-at the
time, and by their showing us sympathy, the
people were not only endangering their property
bat their very lives. The ladies had cut and
buttered whole barites of bread, and had set
them along the sidewalk to be handed out :as
we passed.
"Before we reached the town the guards had
received orders to bayonet the first man who
stepped out of the ranks to,get anything from
the citizens, and the citvalry guard who were
outside of the infantiy were: ordercld to shoot
down any nide ris who attempted to give us
anything taeat. In spite , of this, there were
two or. three cases where young ladies walked
right' between the cavalry guard (who had their
sabres drawn ready to strike) and gave prison
ers bread. There was man enough left in the
ragamuffins not to strike a woman.
4,ERiYA 4?' EPAYNTON
"Prom the time we crossed the river it was
three days before they gave us anything to eat
again. The second day after we left kle,rtfnii
burg we arrived at Winchester, thirty-four
miles from the Potomac, where we halted for
one day. Here they gave us one quart of flour
and a half pound of fresh beef for two days.—
The next day we started for Staunton, ninety
two miles distant, which we reached in five
days, arriving, there on the 18th of July.
THEIR TEDATMIUT AND BUTPLIUND.
" "We were then taken two milesie south of the
town, where we were marchtid in single file up
to a pair of bars; here we found two'officers,
surrounded by guards, to search us; they took
nil arms, large knives, tents, rubber blankets
and canteens, then' turned us into the field like
a lot of cattle. Here we were exposed to .`a
Virginia sun, for there was Ana - one 'small tree
in the field f about two acres For five sue
cessive days we had a heavy shower in the
afternoon; each time I was wet to the skin, and
had to remain So until the sun rose the next
morning and dried my wet clothee. the nights
were so cold that we could not sleep on the wet
ground without blankets, so we were obliged
to walk all night to - keep warm. They gave us
one pint of Sour and a piece of bacon about
one and a half inches square, all covered with
vermin, which, with a little salt, constituted
our daily rations. We suffered in this manner
till the fourth of August, , when they searched
us for "greenbacks," and took all the- money
they conk' find about us. Then we were
shipped for Richmond on some dirt cart, with
an old cattle-box of an engine to haul us;
IN PENNON AT NICFENOND.
"We arrived at Richmond on the morning :
of August sth; we were marched through the
city to the tobacco warehouses, where we were
stowed away, about three hundred men ou a
floor, with tour small windows at each end to
let in the light and air, and were kindly told
by the guard that the first Man who put his
head out of the window would be shot We
were kept here two days and a night, when we
were taken to Bell Isle, about balf a mile from
the city. Here:they:had an earthwork thrown
up, about as large as that formed byn rifle pit;
this enclosed about an acre and a half, and •in
this small place they had. . over four thousand.
prisoners. Teey had tents- for about three
thousand; the remainder bad to lie on the
groiand between the tents. Here,at ten o'clock,
A, M., they gave us a quarter of a loaf of bread;
the loaves weighing twenty. ounces. This gave
each man five ounces of bread. Then they
gave fifteen pounds of meat, bones anti all, for
one hundred men; this, when divided, gave
each man about two ounces of meat, making in
all seven ounces. This was our breakfast and,
dinner together. At four o'clock, P. it., we re
ceived five ounces more of bread, and one pint
of soup, beans and rice alternately. The beet
that I ever hadnf either did not have in it three
epooufuls of rice, or beans, and the soup was so
thin that if you blew the loam from the top
you could pee the hegira or rice at .the bottom.
"It nv uncommon etiß see two men

Olmie of: the men would pickup the bones that,
EVENING, SEPTEMBER 22 1863
lay iu the streets, pound them op with a stone,
and then suck the pieces to zet what little
confishment there was'ieftin them.
THE DELIVERA4CE
" We remained here till the 28th of August,
when we were taken in to Richmond and placed
in the tobacco houses again, where vio,,rernain
cd until morning, when we were plat in the
cars for City 'Paint, which we reached at twelve
o'clock. Hero we saw the transport Xew York
lying at the dock, with the Stars and. Stripes
limiting at her waist head, causing the boys to
shout for joy. As soon as we were taken on
board we all received a half-loaf, of bread and
to piece of boded pork ; the most of them ate
his at once, being too hungry to wait and eat
a little at a time.
pram IN RICHMOND
"The rebel soldiers have no faith whatever
in their Government; they told us that their
pay was not worth tho snap of their finger, and
they would give eight dollars of their Money for
one of ours. A pair of 'boots in Richmind atb
worth front forty l five to fifty dollare; tsi4A, from
fifteen to twenty dollars . a pound of•coffee half
rye, five dollar; sugar, throe dellars; a pair of
coarse pantaloons, forty dollars; and everything
else luvroportion. They have "bread riots"
wady every day; robberies and mtmlers are
committed almost every night, and , t: - !u can see
armed men stationed at the corner of every
street, and all over the city to keep the peace."

NlB WAYNE NoVEAGEI, Chairman.
JEFF TUOMPSON, °ace MOILL—Wa were told
the following joke last evening, which was
vouched:for as reliable :—When Jeff Thciinpson
and his Adjutant, Captain Kay, left the Provoot
marshal's office to go tultte boat for transfer to
Alton, Thursday, on nearing a restaurant the
(lateral asked permission of the guard to go in
and get his dinner, which was granted. The
guard and the Adjutant were invited to dine.—
They all dined, they all wined. They ate large
ly of the viands sot before them. ln fact it is
thought that the party bad not enjoyed such a
repast for many a day. When they had com
pleted their dinner and were ready to start, a
bill of some forty dollars was presented to Gen.
ThompsOn, who, with the mast delightful sang
fyoid ; remarked to the waiter : "Jily dear air, 1
am Brig. Gen. If Jeff Thompaon, of the Con
federate army ; lam a prisoner in the hands
of the federal military ; they halm to feed me
please present your bill to the military, and I
.have no doubt it will , be paid." And they all
skedadled.—Sf.
GEN. Lsg's Esran.—A cotempormy states

General Gilimerc's Napoleonic General Order
The ion wine is a general order issued by Gen.
Gillmore to the troops in the department, a
copy of which is to be placed in the hand. , of
each officer and soldier who has participated in
the glorious campaign just closed. It has the
true ring, and will pass current anywhere. The
General is quite as eloquent and effective with
his pan as he has proved successful and persua
sive with his sword. Beauregard will give con
firmatory evidence on this point, If he can ever
be found in an amiable and • cheerful mood
again. Ho has felt the points of both weapons,
and ought to be a good witness in the matter.
But to the general order:
DLPARIMBNT OE THE SOUTH fr
liINADQUAETEBS IN INN FIELD,
Mounts ISLAND, S. C. Sept. 15.
1t is with no ordinary feeling of gratification
and pride that the Brigadier General command
ing is enabled to congratulate this army upon
the signal sitcom which has crowned the en
terprise in which it has been engaged. Fort
Sumter is destroyed. The scene where our
country's fig suffered its first dishonor you
have made the theatre of one of its proudest
triumphs.
The fort has boom In the Fro - session of the
enemy for more than two years, bee been his
pride' and boast, has been strengthened by every
appliance known to military epience, and has
defied the assaults of the most pi:mortal and
gallant fleet the world ever saw. But it has
yielded to your coll=age and patient labor. Its
walls are now crumbled to ruins, Its forinidable
batteries are silenced, and, though a hostiletlag
floats over it, the fort ism harmless and helpless
wreck.
Forts Wagner and Gregg—works rendered
memorable by their protracted resistance, and
the sacrifice of life they have cost—have also
been wrested from the enemy by your perse
vering energy and skill, and the graves of your
fallen comrades rescued from derecration and
contumely.
Yon now hold in undisputed possession the
whole of. Morris Island, and the city and har
bor of Charleston now lie at the mercy of your
artillery from the very spot where the first shot
wag fired at your country's flag and the rebel
lion was inaugurated.
To you—the officers and soldiers of this com
mand--and to the gallant navy which has co
operated with you, are due the thanks of your
commander and your country. Yon wro call
ed upon to encounter untold privations and
dangem—to undergo unremitting and Oxhaust
trig:labors—to sustain severe and disheartening
reverses. flow nobly your patriotism mid zeal
have responded to the call the results of the
cam palgnyill show, and your .commanding

GILVAIORE,
Brizadier General Con in
The Main Buffalo Hord in Kansas.
To dwellers in _those portions of the West
where the Buff do disappeared more than a gen
eration ago, the reports of the 1131E110We herds
still giviog life to the.plairisheyond, seem al
most tabulous. Eastern artists of note
are now on an expedition to the Rocky Moun
tains, and under the ,head of "Letters -from
Sundown," one of the party. is contributing to
the How York Pose He thus writes" of the
main Buffalo herd of Kansas:—'The sight I
saw there no money could buy from my me
mory. I always thought the Buffalo stories
which we hear at' the - East„ . and the pictures
which we see, must be greatly exaggerated.—
In truth; they are underdeavrn. For two miles
OA the table-land before me, and stretching
sideways twice as far, the earth was overwhelm
ed with deluge of stampeding buffaloes. It is
literally accurate. to assert that one could not
see the ground between therm I could think
of nothing but a black sea, with humps for
billows, and the';thunder of a shaking prairie
for the music of ite surge.
Out of every gully, from each side of me,
poured in exhaustless streams the laggards of
the herd. The Falstaff hullo, who carried years
and abdomen; the yearlings, much like their
cotemporarfoi among our own cattle is look
and size ; the cows now galloping, now coming
with an ungainly trot, followed by their little
new-droPped ealvee—these rushed by, scarcely
sheering as they saw 'me, mad to reach the
main herd. I raised my field glass, and far be
yond the stampede saw the broad plateaus to
wards the White Bock Creek covered with
quietly feeding Wens, as thick as on the prairie
right before me. Flies on the head of a leaking
molasses barrel; ants on a hill, ducks on a Flo
rida lagoon, all familiar symbols of multitude,
give hopelessly out before the task of represent
ing that heal of buffaloes. I should like to
have been accompanied by a man at home in
Gunther, that I might have gained some faint
expression for the number of millions between
me and the horizon."
DREAM or a QUAKES LADY.—There is a ro
mantic story told of a pions old Quaker lady
who was addicted -to smoking tobacco. She
had indulged in this habit until it had increased
so much upon her that she not only smoked
her pipe a large protion of the day, but fre
quently at up in her bed for this purpose in
the night. After one of these nocturnal enter
tainments she fell asleep, and dreamed that she
died, and approached heaven. Meeting an an
gel, she asked hint if her name was written in
the book of .life. He disappeared, but replied
upon returning, that he could not find it.
"Oh," abe said, "do look again lit must be
there." He examined again, but returned with
a sorrowful face, toying, lit Li not there !", 'Ob.,"
said she, in agony, "it must be thus ; I have
the assurance'it is there! Do look again." The
angel was moved to tears by her entreaties, and
again left her to renew his search. After a
long absence he came back, his face radiant with
joy, and exclaimed, "We have found it, but it
last so clouded with tobacco smoke that we
could hardly see it i" The woman upon waking,
immediately threw her pipe away, and never
indulged hi smoking again.
