The Battle Field oi “Olustee/’
THE MORNING AFTER THE FIGHT.
Tallhassee, March 25th, 1864.
Col. Thompson :
Dear Sir —■ I send you a short descrip
tion of the battle field of ‘‘Olustee,” jotted
down after an early and very thorough
examination the morning after the fight.
In his official report, General Finne
gan styles this the battle of “Ocean Pond,”
but I think it is generally known now,
and ever will be hereafter, as the battle of i
“Olustee,” being in the vicinity of the j
creek and railroad station of that name. —- 1
Olustee is a Seminole ’ name, and signifies j
“Black Water,” j
The area of ground on which the battle i
was fought is a triangle, the base of which .
was the enemy’s line of battle, and as
near as I could judge, is half a mile long.
The apex of the triangle, where they filed
off in the road on their retreat, is 1 } miles
distant.
Approaching this area, I first saw quan
tities of gutn timber, cut down by the en
emy’s shot and shell; large pine trees bro
ken off near the top, and often in the
middle; whilst those standing up were
scarred, and splintered, and sometimes
perforated through, byi small solid shot,
the marks of*liiiu tmJ Uuik
thick on the trees, ranging, on the ene
my’s side, from five feet to forty from the
ground.
Here you came upon the lead Uon fed
erate soldiers, “their faces to Heaven, their
feet to the foe.” The wounded have all
been carried off to our field hospitals du
ring and soon after the fight. None ol
our dead had been robbed, but many had
their limbs straightened and their bodies
arranged in decent positions by consider
ate passers by.
A fact worth recording is that, although
the cannonading was so severe, I did not
see one of our men who had been killed
by a cannon ball. Most ot the wounds
were in the breast, and where this was
the case, the fingers were invariably
clutched in the bosom, tearing open the
clothes.
A large majority of our killed struck me
as being tall, spare, slightly built, and very
young men.
About two hundred yard's beyond these, I
came upon the bloody grjound occupied by the
oneni\ -for the gray-coatjs and blue-coats were
not mingled. The scene was horrible ! Here
were literally piles ot deind and wounded. I
counted in one group eight, in another ten. and
in another thirteen, white and black. No kind
hand had arranged their limbs, but they lay
just in the attitudes in which the vital spark
had left them Here one sat erect against a
tree, hi? eyes staring, and his legs and arms
stiffened out before him. Here a negro had
crawled into so me brush to die, Ins back was
bowed up like a hoop, his face to the ground,
and he resting entirely on the points of his
extended fingers and toes. The eyes ol all
were wide open, and the whites ot those of
“Ouffee,” as well a3 his teeth, were displayed
with a peculiar grimmare.
The wounded often made pillow * oi the
dead, and in this way the piles, which are gen
erally considered an exaggeration, do occur.
I witnessed one sad sight, and stopped my
horse to regard it in respectful silence, A
man, severely wounded, was on hi?
knees, bending over the lace ot a. dead soldier,
one arm around his neck and the other aero
his breast, the tears streaming down his
cheeks—the picture of deep affection and in
tense woe. No one put any idle questions to
him, and he did not seem to be the
presence of tiny one
The dead Yankee horses presented a piteous
spectacle; on one spot, where we had captured
a battery, I counted twelve, and 1 suppose
there were forts- others scattered about.
Our dead were all decently interred by
12 o clock, M.- at single graves. Then began
the work of ] fitting in possession of theii
'‘free farms,’’ tome four hundred find fifty ol
the enemy’3 a- iand. Instead ol the promised
forms, howevti. they received only small and
rather crowded tenements, with fifteen or
twenty owners, white and Idack—the termer
often occupying the ground floor, or net.
Such was the case With tit- redoubtable
Col. Frieble, of a negro regiment, iu whose
pocket was found a letter from his wife, (query,
white or black?) asi'incr htm to --confiscate
lor her "A nice side saddle when he reached

Th« woumled negroejs were all very humble

—the slaves dejected in the extreme. The
Northern negroes, at first, spoke as to their
equals, but 3oon found it would not do. Said
one of a group to a Confederate soldier stand
ing by, “I say, my friend, just let me put my
arm around vour neck, and raise me up a lit
tle.”
Confederate soldier— ‘ Don't call me your
friend, d—d you. I’d just as soon blew your
brains out as not, and 1 wouldn’t touch you
with a ten foot pole.”
I wili only add, that from the ‘signs,” this
was one of the good fights of the war, and
won by the pluck and aim of our men. Few
orders were given (and those principally by
General Colquitt, who directed the battle, and
wan under fire the whole time.) Isis order
was “push on,” and that was done steadily,
even by some of the troops, who were (by

ibraimm Lincoln His Real
Name.
A writer in the Atlanta Intelligencer,
who is a Kentuckian and who professes a
personal acquaintance with Lincoln’s par
ents, furnishes the following sketch of his
Marne.
origin:*
A man known as Abraham Lincoln,
who now sits in the seat once occupied
respectively by Washington, Madison,
Jefferson and Jackson, was born in the
county nl Hardin, now in the county of
Laraue, in the State of Kentucky, and
about forty miles from where the writer
of this article lives when at home. The
mother was a single woman of very low
social position, by the name of Hannah
Tlanks. Sho was generally reputed to
have from one eighth to one-sixteenth of
negro blood in her veins, and always asso
ciated with negroes on terms of equality.
According to the statement of Hannah
Hunks, her illegitimate child was the son
of Abraham Inlow, (who was still alive
and in Kentucky in September, 1861.)
I have, myself, heafd her make this state
ment. Moreover, Inlow always claimed
the child as his own, Here, then, is a
testimony of the two witnesses most con
versant wiih the facts both establishing be
yond cavil that Inlow is Lincoln’s father.
I will here give you a few fact3 in re»
gard to Inlow. He was originally from
North Carolina, but emigrated to Ken
tucky when very young. He is quite
tall, being about six feet three inches in
height. Ho goes barefooted in the sum
mer, and I have never seen him with a
coat on but once. His pants are held up
by one suspender only, worn over the left
shoulder. llis nose is disfigured by hav
ing a niece about the size of a dime bit out
of it in a light.
When little Abe was four years and six
months old his mother intermarried with
a man by the name of Lincoln, and the
boy was afterwards called by his step fath
er’s name .One night old Lincoln coming
home and finding Inlow at his house, felt
those, pangs which once disturbed the no
ble Othello and caused him to immolate
the spotless Pesdemona. He felt those
sad pangs, but lie-did not go off intosolil
oquies nor talk tragedy, but like a back
woodsman of the coarser mould he pitched
into Inlow, and they had a regular “set
to.” Lincoln hit off a portion of Inlow’s
nose, and the latter deprived Lincoln of
one joint, of Ids thumb. After this affair
old Lincoln became exceedingly cr el to
Abe, and his mother found it necessary to
send him to live with a lady who lived in
the neighborhood There he remained
until he was about thirteen years of age.
By this time he was able to work on the
farm, and old Lincoln relented towards
him and permitted him to return and live
with him. The lady who gave Abe a
home at this time was Mrs Mcßryde,
who afterwards moved to Nashville, Ten
nessee, and who was still living on the
15th February", 1862, at which time the
writer of this article saw her and conversed
with her. She can substantiate the state
ments here made. During Abe’s residence
at Mrs. Mcßryde’s he was sent to an or- ;
dinary oM field school for three years, :
and then obtained the rudiments of a
rough education.
After hi.' return home he went no more
to school. Neither old Lincoln nor his
wife (Abe mother) could read and could
not see the use of an education. Abe was
now put to hard v»«.rk,and was even oom
pelled to work on Sundays. Tin- he
could not sfand, .--o he ran away Irom Lin
coln and went as a hand on au uiuo fiat
boat. From this position he waa promoted
to the position of a deck hand on a steam ;
boat. Afterwards he quit the river, went
into Illinois, near Springfield, and be
came clerk of a saw mill. He soon after
ward.', studied law and commenced prac
ticing before magistrate’s courts- M ith
his subsequent history the public are ac
quainted, and luo not propose to speak
of it, my object being to supply inhuma

“A few days since a scout of 76 men wa*
ordered to proceed from our Battalion in the
direction of the enemy, and find him, procur

enemy at Morristown, and thinking he only
had a small cavalry force I charged, but run

a quarter of ad hour’s fight, was compelled

practicable, then turned their flank and reach

some ten miles within their lines'Xir in their

I gathered some very important informa

force- and then made my way back safely to
camp. They are within ten miles of us, and
we expect to have a round with them in a few
days, and the enemy may make sure of a sound
whipping, if they come up to this point.

COMPULSORT AND VOLDNTART FCNDINO COM
PARED. —It is with nations as with individuals,
the first is the important step in pecuniary
matters. An advance in a wrong direction,
may render affairs irretrievable. So it has
been with the fiscal policy of the Confederacy.
It began in error and we arc apprehensive It
will terminate in disaster. When at the out
set of the war, it was proposed to purchase
the cotton crop and ship it, the ports being
unobstructed by blockade, an influence from
an official source, defeated the plan, under
the plea that it was no part of the function of
the government to engage in mercantile tran
sactions ; yet we have since seen that same
government become an exteusvie purchaser
and shipper in cotton, in fact, engrossing the
eutire export trade of the Confederacy. If
the policy then recommended, had been pur
sued, we would have had large balances due
iu Europe, which would have supplied ample
funds to have built and equipped a navy.—
The opportunity was lost. —Allanta Confeder

Which reminds us that in the limits of this
vast Confederacy, there were in the dpring of
Cl, only *ome two or three prints which ad
vocated earnestly the appropriation of the
whole cotton crop by the Government. One
of these was the Telegraph. But the plan was
ridiculed as turning the government into a
groat cotton brokerage, aud the golden oppor
tunity lost lqrever. Suppose (he government
could have appropriated the whote crop then,
as it might have done, at ten cen s per pound

would have cost ICO millions, and would been
worth now in Europe, how many 1

If lie Had Only Known.
Garret Davis says, if lie had only foreseen
what has already come to pass, he would have
opposed all attempt to coerce the Confederate
States into re-union, and would have appeal
ed only to moral influences. We doubt not,
says the Richmond Sentinel, that thousands of
other coercionists Ijave equally regretted their
insane and criminal undertakiug. Thirteen
hundred thousand men have been vainly put
into the field, and fifteen hundred aud thir
teen millions of dollars art officially reported
to have been spent up to the ■ first ot March

blood and treasure, the end is not accomplish

There is one thing Davis nnd his . rolu. r

they regret lue slaughter of halt a million of
uieir men, tney can refuse to make it t*. mil

millions, they need not make it tour. And if
perchance they are ashamed of tue cruelties
they have visited upon us, they can now call
