HOW THE WAR ENDED.
The Very Last Battle of the War
Fought at Camp Douglas—Johnny
Reb's Revenge—The Kentuckian and"
the Dutchman.
A Mississippi trooper furnishes the fol
lowing account of his own experiences at
the close of the war, to the Philadelphia
Times:
My regiment, the Twelfth Mississippi
Cavalry, was stationed at Summit. Miss.,
in the winter of 1864-5, when in
formation was received by the
Colonel that a regular trade in
mules, beef cattle, etc., was going on be
tween the negroes on the plantations just
above Natchez and the Federal forces
along the river. 1 was one of a detach
ment picked out to go on a scouting ex
pedition to look into that trading busi
ness, and that led to my taking up quar
ters at Camp Douglas for the rest of the
war. We knew Federal troops were on
the lookout for us, but for my part I didn't
expect to be nabbed quite so" promptly as
I was.
CAPTURED.
YVhen it happened I was riding leisure
ly along the road (having just come from
a point on the river I had been sent to ob- !
serve), thinking of my home in the piney
woods and wishing “this cruel war was
over.” If I remember right 1 was whist- i
ling, when just as I was rounding a point
{ in the road that led up a hill I heard the 1
sounds. “Click! click!” just ahead of me,
and in the second utter the order, “Halt!"’ ■
I halted. Then an officer with six
negro soldiers stepped out Into the
road and ordered me to advance
i and surrender. I did so, giving up
1 mv carbine and my mule, tor that was the
■ sort of a war horse the most of our regi
ment was mounted on in the last year of
I the war. The negroes cursed me scanda
lously, and I was really afraid they would
murder me in cold blood in spite "of their
commanding officer. lie was a little un- 1
easy about it, too.
They forwarded me on to Natchez, to- !
gether with some other prisoners they had j
lately captured—a part of them from my
own regiment— and at Natchez they put us
I in the guard house until ij boat should be on I
, hand to take us up the river. The ladies of
: Natchez had given us a good supply ot 1
blankets and quilts, but all but one !
apiece were taken from us before we j
went on board the boat. It was cold :
enough on the river, and we needed every I
blanket we could get. I reckon we were i
about 50 miles below Memphis when the
boat ran, in the night upon a snag, and it 1
was all over with her.
YVegotoff on a sand-spit in the river i
without, any loss of life, but there were 1
some officers on board and also some wo- I
»men passengers, who had got out of their
beds with only their night clothes on, and 1
they barely had time to do that. It was a j
rude change enough for them from their |
snug berths on board the boat to the
wind-swept sand-spit, and they had to ■
walk around right lively to keep their
blood circulating. About 8 a. m., an
other boat came along and took us on the
spit. At Memphis I found some friends,
who gave me a little money and a couple
of blankets that were not taken from me
this time. We arrived at last at Camp
Douglas, where we were put in quarters
already occupied by some of Morgan’s
men, then prisoners.
CAMP DOUGLAS.
The building we were put into was
about 60 feet long and say 16 feet wide.
There were rows of double bunk s—one
above the other—running the length of
the building, with an aisle between them.
There was a door at each end of the
house anti one in the middle. There was
a stove at my end, where only two of us
at a time were permitted to warm, and
only for a few moments. We had to get
back in a hurry to our bunks at
the word from the men who kept guard
over us. Most of us who had been
brought as prisoners from Natchez had
never seen snow more than four inches
deep, and we were smartly bothered with
the sort that took us up to the waist. YVe
were not prepared for it either in the way ol
clothes. But for all that we used to get
sent into it in a hurry at the tap of the
drum every morning, clothes or no clothes,
for that was the time the roll was called,
and when we were not right on hand, the
guard had away of notifying us to be a
little more prompt the next time.
Talk about a white man when he can’t
help himself not standing a licking like a
black man! Why, I’ve seen the German
guards take a big Kentuckiairwho had
ridden with John Morgan and been in the
habit, when free, of peppering his meat
with gunpowder and picking his teeth
with a bowie-knife; I’ve seen the Dutch
men take a fellow like that, strip him
down, buck him over the edge of a bunk
and strap him with a soldier belt with the
brass buckle at the end of it.
Well, after a while news came of Lee’s
surrender, and that the war was over.
We did not believe it at first, but we were
convinced when they set us all free on
parole and gave us transportation home.
We had been released from the prison
and were sitting down in the shade along
the sidewalk waiting for papers to be
made out, or something ot the soit, and
on the opposite side of the street was an
Illinois regiment that had lately got back
from the seat of war. They had stacked
arms and were lounging about just as we
were. Os course, we got to mingling to
gether and talking, for the men who had
fought one another were always friendly
when the fighting was not going on. It
was only the cowardly home guards who
were ever cruel to prisoners—prisoners
being the only enemies they had a chance
of meeting.
FETCH AND KETCH.
I forgot to say that the two Germans
who had special charge of our barracks
we named Fetch and Ketch, and it used
to make them powerful mad when we
called out their names in the dark. Fetch
was a Corporal and the meanest of the
two. While we were sitting out on the
sidewalk, as I was saying. Fetch, who
j was walking about there, kept stepping
; on the feet of the big Kentuckian, who
I was lying stretched out in the shade,
j “Please don’t step on mv feet again,”
; said the Kentuckian, whereupon "Fetch ,
i cursed him as he had been in the habit of i
■ doing in the prison.
“I ain’t your prisoner no more, and I '
! dare you to stan’ up and fight it out like |
i a man,” said the Kentuckian.
Fetch was no ways inclined to that sort !
j of thing and was for getting away at once, ;
' but some of the Illinois boys had heard 1
1 what had passed, and may be they
I wanted to see a little fun. At any rate <
| some of them hollered out:
“That won’t do, Mr. Dutchman. You ■
I must stand up to the rack.”
“Come, Johnny Reb. We’ll see fair !
I play.”
They got up as pretty a little scrimmage '
| as one could wish to see, and although j
; the Kentuckian had been broth-fed for six i
1 months and was not himself by half, as he
said afterward, he flaxed the Dutchman I
out in no time. The recollection of the
I soldier belt, with the big brass buckle on 1
I the end of it, was a powerful help to him. 1
That was really the last battle of the
war.

THE LOWER CAPE FEAR.
Old Fort Fisher—Reminiscences of the
Blockade—Heroism and Sacrifice—The
Story of a Deserted Town.
< 'orrespondenoe Xe>c York Evening Post.
The Cane Fear rolls its majestic tide
nearly thirty miles below AVilimington be
fore finally mingling with the ocean. A
sail down this broad entrance in the com
pany of a gentleman familiar with every
land-mark, who had played no unimpor
tant part on the Confederate side in the
events of the late war, so tar as they re
lated to the Cape Fear, we found one
of the most delightful .Southern experi
ences.
The shores are low and sandy and cov
ered with interminable pine forests. Get
ting well down the harbor, the Colonel
pointed out on a sand-bank commanding
the river a low, dismantled earthwork—
all that remains of historic Fort Fisher.
“Its strength as a defensive work,” he
remarked, musingly, “was vastly over
rated by the Federal commanders. It
could easily have been taken by a con
certed effort at the time of Butler's at
tack in August, 1864. Its chief value to
the Confederates lay in the aid it afforded
the blockade runners in making or leaving
the port.” Then, from intimate personal
knowledge (havingcommanded one of the
regiments in defense of the fort, he gave
us an interesting description of the block
ade runners and their ways.
INCIDENTS OF THE FEDERAL BLOCKADE.
“The blockade runners were English
steamers built more for speed than
freight capacity. They were painted a
French gray or lead color, which blended
with the atmosphere so as to make detec
tion extremely difficult. They carried a
pilot and signal officer, and when ready
to leave port dropped down the river near
the mouth of the inlet, waiting for a dark
night to slip out. The guns of Fort Fish
er commanded the entrance of the harbor,
and no vessels could pass in or out with
out the knowledge of those within the
fort. Signals were consequently ar
ranged and an officer placed on board of
each ship in control of that branch of the
service, and by such means those in com
mand of the fort could easily distinguish
friend from foe. In running into the har
bor the same precautions were necessary.
When a runner approached the fort, which
of course was at night, the signal officer
on board displayed a peculiar light or
made a certain signal, which was an
swered by the fort, and she then passed in
without 'molestation. The blockading
fleet lay some four or five miles distant
from the fort, and the danger in running in
or out was the risk of capture by them.
In running in or out the ship showed no
light and the most rigid discipline was en
forced. It happened frequently that in
the darkness they ran so near to the
blockade as to be heard by them, the noise
of the wheel betraying their presence.
Rockets would be ‘immediately sent up
and a tire opened. In coming in, a dash
was then made to get under the guns of
the fort; if going out all steam was
raised and a chase of the most exciting
character began, the ships dashing
through the water at a tremendous rate,
the blockader firing continually at the
fleeing runner, hoping by a well-directed
shot to disable her, and the latter using
every means that skill and ingenuity
could suggest to effect her escape. A great
portion of the cargo was frequently
thrown overboard to avoid capture and in
stances were not infrequent when large
amounts in gold, which were shipped out
for foreign purchases were tossed into the
sea when escape became impossible. In
the early days ol blockade-running, the
ships engaged were seldom captured, as
thev were much taster- than the blockad
ing" fleet, having been built expressly for
the business, but very soon vessels equal
ly fleet were obtained by the Federal Gov
ernment, rendering escape much more dif
ficult. It is remarkable when the risk at
tending the running is considered, that so
little damage should have been done to
Hie or property. So far as I remember,
there was but one life lost during the en
tire term and scarcely any were injured.
Some ships were run upon the beach to
[ avoid capture, but none were sunk out
right by the blockading fleet.
“Individual acts of heroism were fre-
I quent. I remember on one occasion that
| a ship, commanded by an officer of the
Confederate Navy, had passed the fleet
and was approaching the bar. The pilot
had gbeen taken fill before leaving Nas
sau with what proved to be yellow fever,
and was confined to his berth. The Cap-
■ tain went to him and asked if he was able
to take charge of the ship, and run her in.
‘Carry me on deck,’ he said. He was
lifted from his bunk and placed in an arm
chair near the wheel-house, supported on
either side by an officer, while his head
rested on the shoulder of a third. In that
condition, and scarcely able to speak
loudly enough to be heard, he pointed out
the different bearings and the proper
course to be steered, and when the ship
had safely passed in, and as her anchor
dropped in the roadstead, he was seized
with the black vomit, and in a few min
utes was a corpse. It was an act of noble
self-sacrifice,tfor it was the exposure that
cost him his life.”
From the fort we hear the sullen boom
ing of the surf of the bar, and in a little
more than an hour reach the mouth of the
river. It is an eerie place. Numerous
shoals and sand islands rise above the sur
face, continually being cut away and built
up by the water. Masses of seaweed and
kelp, broken timber and wreckage, float
in the vortexes of the currents. Out in
the offing sails are seen, tacking and fill
ing in their efforts to follow the somewhat
intricate channel, into port. Near by,
commanding the main channel, is Fort
Caswell, built of stone, once thought one
of the strongest fortifications on the At
lantic coast, but now in ruins, having
been blown up by the Confederates when
they evacuated it on the fall of Fort
Fisher. A short distance above, on the
north branch of the river is Smithville,
the county seat of Brunwkick county, a
Southern village of the old type, with its
ancient court house and tavern, and wide
Main street lined with stores and pleasant
substantial dwellings. The town is a
favorite summer resort for the citizens of
Wilmington.
Modern Life in the Grecian Capital.
Providence. (R. I.} Star.
The following extracts from a private
letter recently received by a Providence
gentleman from an American student in
Athens, Greece, will prove of general in
terest: “I live in a Greek family,” he
writes, “where we speak only Greek.
The house is on -Eolus street, with
Socrates, Euripides, and Hermes streets
not far off; so that you can easily imagine
the hallowsd associations that are daily
suggested. Our ‘maid of all work’ is
named Athena. There are 28 newspapers
in the city. I cau count a dozen dailies
on my fingers, and I presume there are
others of which I have not yet heard.
With that number of papers and 250 law
yers, as many priests and a dozen thou
sand soldiers, the 80,000 people in Athens
are pretty well supplied with these ap
purtenances of life. The city is very mod
ern, though in some parts it does not look
so;but where dirt is allowed to accumu
late it soon makes things look hoary. I
suppose Athens is a type, or better than
the type, of all Oriental cities, and that
where people can make a meal off a piece
of bread and a bunch of grapes industry is
not necessary. But I have not seen a
manufactory in the city, aside from the
little shops of a few handicraftsmen. The
whole town has grown up about the pal
ace of the King. The rich men are those
who have made or are making fortunes
elsewhere, and live here for society. The
University of Athens has 2,500 students,
1,500 of them in law, and two-thirds of
them destined to be farmers—for many of
the law students will never practice that
profession. There are hundreds of wine
shops always well filled. The streets are
full of bustling men, but they are bound
for nowhere. At the Piraeus'[the harbor
city] there are 25,000 people engaged in
active industry. Besides the foreign
shipping there Is a considerable coasting
trade in farm produce. The people here
are very proud, but the glory of a dead
past is only a bond of unity and patriot
ism,not a support of in dividual life. There
are no parties on public questions, only
cliques supporting certain leaders with
their policies, w hich may or may not be
different.”
What it Did for an Old Lady.
Coshocton Station, N. Y., Dec. 28,1878.
Gents—A number of people had been
using your Bitters here, and with marked
effect. In one case, a lady of over 70
years, had beefl sick for years, and for the
past ten years has not been able to be
around half the time. About six months
ago she got so feeble she was helpless.
Her old remedies, or physicians, being of
no avail, I sent to Deposit, forty-five miles
away, and got a bottle of Hop Bitters. It
improved her so she was able to dress
herself and walk about the house. When
she had taken the second bottle she was
able to take care of her own room and
walk out to her neighbor’s, and has im
proved all the time since. My wife and
children also have derived great benefit
from their use. AV. B. Hathaway,

TRUTH IS MIGHTY.
How the Truth Astonished the Colo
rado Liar.
Oct in Kansas, Nov. 20.-- Editor of
The Tribune: Night caught me at a coun
try hotel in AVestern Kansas. Around
the office stove were gathered ranchmen
from Colorado and Kansas. Among the
ranchmen were swearing cowboys from
Texas and cultured Englishmen grad
uates from Oxford University, who knew
so much Greek and astronomy that they
couldn't earn a living in England; so
their rich fathers had “set them up” on a
Kansas sheep ranch.
In the crowd was the usual Colorado
liar. I can always distinguish this pro
fessional Colorado liar. He is not a free
talker. He does not waste words with
every man in the room, but he sits with a
scow l on his brow and his slouch hat
pulled over his eyes. Occasionally he lifts
his eyes f.om the burning cigar stub on
the hearth and makes a solemn remark.
When he does speak everybody listens.
He has something important to say.
AVhen I first noticed him he had his eyes
on the hearth, but one ear was inclined
toward an English rancher from Oxford
University.
“Speaking of seeing long distances,”
remarked the Englishman slowly, “I have
often observed while standing on the
cliffs of Dover, that I could see clear
across the English Channel to Calais.
France, and aw—aw’’
“Seventeen miles across, ain’t it?" in
terrupted Colorado Bill, as he brushed up
his hat in front.
“Yes, sir—seventeen miles.”
“Why, that ain't nothin’, stranger. You
kin see twenty-five miles anywhere on
this Kansas prairie. But if you want to
see a long distance—if you want to see a
hundred or two of miles—go over into
Colorado. Why. over in Colorado on a
clear day we kin see Pike's Peak. 150
miles off. Yes, an'by ginks! Silver Bill
says he's stood on the top of Pike’s Peak
and seen the Missoury river—seen 'em
slaughtering hogs in Kansas City, an*
playin’ poker in St. Jo, an' ”
“Why, that ain’t nothing ’tall!” ex
claimed a Kaaterskill Mountain Yankee
who was drumming for the Methodist
Publication Society.
“’Taint!” growled Colorado Bill.
“No, sir. Why, we can stand on the
roof of the Kaaterskill Mountain House
and see—”
“See the North river, 'bout 20 miles off,”
interrupted Colorado Bill, contemptu
ously.
“No, sir—further’n that I”
“P’raps you kin see the Berkshire Hills,
and mebby you kin 1 iok over ’em and see
Boston an’ the 'Lantic Ocean?” repeated
Bill ironically and with an idea of expos
ing to the crow d what a bungling liar the
Yankee was.
“Further’n that—further’n that!” ex
claimed the Yankee.
“Betchew five million dollars y’ can’t,”
yelled Colorado Bill, cramming his hand
down into his pocket and hauling out a
handful of nickels and 10-cent pieces.
“Why. stranger,” said the Yankee, as
he edged himself nearer the door, “on an
ordinary day from the Kaaterskill Moun
tains we can see mor’ii fifty million miles,
and ”
“O you git out, you lying fool!”
“Why, b’gosh, gentlemen, we can see
mor’n ninety million miles; we can see
clear to the sun, and—”
“AVell, dogon me!” yelled Colorado
Bill, “es you haint the first darned'ten

AV as it a Ghost?
Carolina IS. C.) Spartan.
John Fant, a colored man working for
Rev. R. C. Oliver, states that last week,
about midday, he was passing between
Mr. Oliver’s house and the Chapin house,
and, bearing a noise, he looked around to
see where it came from. He saw in a
window up stairs in the Chapin house,
now vacant, a man beckoning to him.
He looked at him, and when the man mo
tioned the second time he went to the
house and went up stairs. The man
pointed to a certain place in the ceiling
where there was a small crack between
the plank and disappeared suddenly and
mysteriously, going neither through door
nor window. He had on a dove-colored
suit of clothes. He did not get to see his
face. His hand was white. After he had
vanished Fant says he went to the wall
which had the slope of the steep
roof and ran his knife into the
crack and felt something there. He
cut a hole and pulled out a common
buggy whip. He saw that there were oth
ers there. He went to Sarah AVilkv, who
cooks for Mr. Oliver, and told her the
circumstance. They carried an axe and
pried off the plank and pulled out thirty
seven buggy whips, theie being several
varieties. They were wrapped in brown
paper. Nothing else was found. This is
about the story as Fant relates it. Mr.
Oliver has them in his possession, and
any one desiring may examine them.
They are apparently new, some of them
looking somewhat shop-worn. There are
several theories in regard to this matter.
First is the ghost story. Fant has never
been a believer in such, but he says it
must have been a ghost that motioned' and
then disappeared so suddenly without
speaking. I’here were about ten tramps
that were prowling around this deserted
house, and they may have left the whips
there. Another theory is that thev were
kuklux whips stored there for ‘use in
former days.
Laugh and Get Well.
Spectator.
In the treatise on laughter Joubert
gives a curious instance. A patient, be
ing low with fever, and the physician in
attendance at a loss as to how he should
produce reaction, had ordered a dose of
rhubarb, but after the medicine had been
prepared, fearing its debilitating effects,
the order was countermanded. Not long
after a pet monkey belonging to the pa
tient, that had been in the room all the
while, seeing the goblet, slipped slyly up
’and toughed it to his lips. The first taste
was probable novel and he made a comi
cal grimace. Another sip and he got the
sweet of the syrup. Aha! His vision
brightened. He cast a glance around, and
then drank it to the bottom, where he got
the full strength of the rhubarb. Mercy!
AV hat a face he made! The visage of the
disgusted money spoke volumes as he
tried to spit out the horrible taste, but
finding that impossible, he seized the got
let and hurled it to the floor, smashing it
into a hundred pieces. The scene was
so ludicrous that the sick man burst into
a fit of laughter that lasted until his
nurse came in. And when he tried to
tell he laughed again, until he sank back
exhausted in a profuse perspirat on,
which lasted until he fell asleep. AVhen
he awoke the fever was broken and he re
covered.
