I was born the same year, but the terrible Saturday came along before my birth, for my birth day was June 10. 7835. My mother often talked to me of that time, because she never forgot the se vere bllxxard or its experiences. It happened some time in February. IMS. possibly on or near the IMh. My parents were married early J" 1834. and my young mother came to DeKilb county to live soon afterwards. Their home was ten miles south of Decatur on the road leading southward to Augusta. G<- As far back as I can recall, there wa-" a stage stand at my father s place (they were stationed .ten miles apart, whan horses were changed!, and I with vivid distinctness the magnificent teams that came there with those tine stage coaches. I remember in my chin - hood memories the stage horn which al ways sounded a mile away that the host lers should be ready to throw.<rff the har ness worn by the smoking horses in co.rt weather and quickly fling them on the rested ones that no delay might occur. I>ut to return to what my mother tob me of the famous cold Saturday. The weather begun to change inurs tav mg t previous. Friday was exceedingly raw, perhaps rainy. Mother told me that it was her custom to have floors scoured every Friday to be ready for Sunday and although it was very cold the young housekeeper disre garded her house servants' entreaty and the floors were cleaned as usual. She laughingly told me to learn wis dom by her mistakes, because t£e ice re mained on the nail heads and Yloor cor ners until next Monday. There wns a regular court day in De catur on Saturday. My lather had bus iness with the court and started on horse back early Saturday morning to ride ten miles and return. He wrapped himself | well with leggings, oversocks, etc., but the cold grew more intense. As soon as court adjourned he started home, and he often spoke of that ride. His horse s breath (rose from its noMrils. and he had to go cautiously lest the horse might fail | him. He was a flne-blooded animal and mettlesome. It was an hour after dark, my mother told me. when the horse with its beloved rider .came to the gate. The servants helped my father from his seat, and into , the house, where he could not approach j the fire at first, his hands were ao numb and painful as they thawed out. The horse was rubbed down quickly and carried Into his comfortable stall and survived the exposure. Mother said they bathed my father's • hands and face in ice water to restore the proper feeling, and it was plainly evident that he narrowly Escaped freezing to death. They told me they slept but little, an * the house kept up a constant cracking noise and forest trees, with loud re- * ports, were split In twain by the intense i cold. With roaring fires In the fireplaces they put over that awful Saturday night. ■ and no .matter how often we yougsters complained of cold in later years the dear ■ mother would reply. “You don't know what cold is. as you didn't know the 'cold Saturday.’ ” My correspondent desires to know the date, as it was her own father's birth day. and he died a few months ago. As nearly as I can place ft. it came in Feb ruary. IS3. perhaps on the 13th I can not be positive as to the day of the month, but I am as to year and month. Hard Times in the Army "Dear Mra Felton: Some weeks ago I wrote you of my early service in the war. but I forgot to tell you that I went out in the army under General Bragg T was with him in the fall of ’s2. We inarched 750 miles under him from the time we left Knoxville. Tenn., until we got back there again. It was ' u very dry time. We were sometimes nearly famished for water. Sometimes, in forced marches, we were obliged toI obey orders—had nothing at all, in which to cook our raw rations. ”We wet up a little in a pocket handkerchief, then rolled it around a gun stick and cooked it that way— boiling the meat on the coals. "We stayed in Kentucky until about the Ist of Novgnber. 188 S. Then we came back byway of Cumberland Gap. to London. Tenn. We cam e down through Sweetwater valley, but only for a few days until we were ordered to Vicksburg, Miss. We had. for sure, a hard time there Christmas week of 18<2. was spent just above Vicksburg, Chickasaw Bayou and began to build breastworks and stayed until the last of January, IS<3. General Grant came down the Mis sissippi river to a place called Milli gan's bend. He tried to cut a canal < and failed on his expedition. He run ’the blockade a very dark night. He got - boats sufficient to transport his *oops across the Mississippi river. We met him at a place called Barker's Creek, on May IS. 1863. Grant had been successful In a bat tle-J-and we retreated back to Vicks burg. Grant surrounded us and cut us off on all sides. The siege lasted 49 days and nighta We were in the trenches, rain dr shine, hot or cold, wet . or dry for 49 days. 9 It may sound like exaggeration, but there are a number of tny comrades still Hging. who will establish every word I here say. For a day's ration we had just one and a half small bis cuit. Sometimes we changed to pea bread. peas ground into meal and baked in cakes like com-pone. You might break one of those cakes and it would web like a spider’s web. With a piece of old mule meat and that bread—we could eat enough to keep from starv ing. We had some beef, just before the siege that was almost as bad as the mule meat. Not an eye of grease could be found after you had boiled that beef, although M or 15 pounds were put on in a kettle to boil, and cook ts wel as you might the next day the bones would look bloody with not a speck of grease on the whoie business. The old mules were very poor, had nothing to feed on for two months. The) were killed in the rear of our breast works and we went out and skinned. Once we skinned a ham. and tried to boll it on coals. As it got hot the green bubbles would rise up. When it was covered with green scum we would scrape it off. and boil again, and it was the same thing over again. ' and when it stewed down, it would smell like an old shoe scorching. The boys would go out to hunt some thing for salad, and could only find ••pursly.” When they boiled it. it looked all the world like earth-worms, which we use to go fishing with, and we just starved on until July 4. ISB3. when we sur rendered to U. S. Grant, and were pa roled to go nome. I have never heard anything of Gen eral Pemberton since the surrender ol the army at Vicksburg. We stayed at home until just after the battle of Chickamauga. We united wita Longstreet and around Chattanooga fought the Yankees at Missionary Ridge, falling back to Dalton on November 27. 1863 We were in winter quartets until some time in April. 1864, until Sherman began his successful march througn Georgia. I went all along the line, down to At lanta. . „ After the downfall of Atlanta we had a hot fight on August 31, on the railroad at Jonesboro, below Atlanta. Then General Hood took some of us on a back track, and left Sherman to go at his own sweet will through Georgia. With his little army. Hood turned to* wards Dalton. Near Marietta I did one of the hardest night's work of my life. We tore up ten miles of railroad track, piled up cross ties, laid the rails on top of the cross ties and set them afire. When the rails got hot they twisted ou» of shape. We burned them to Resaca. We went on into Tennessee, to Frank lin, where the bloodiest battle of the war was fought. There were 21,000 men killed tn about three hours. The Yanks had good breatworks and our men had to charge them, but these Yanks fought like tigers. Pat Cleburne had 7.0U0 marching men, and only about SO marching men were left alive and not wounded. Cleburne fell in ditch on his hcr»e at top of the works. W. T. WALTERS, Fairplay. S. C. P. B.—l am truly glad to have our vet rans tell us these facts from their own experience. That Vicksburg campaign was some thing truly awful. General Pend'eton has his apologists, but I am not one of them. I remember those awful hot days, when our soldiers were penned up in Vicksburg and how the women suffered tortures of anxiety and dread. General Pemberton may have been O. K., but ne was a failure as an army leader. Market Reports SPOT COTTO V. Atlanta, steady. 14%c. New York, qnlet. 15 20 lOOe. Liverpool, quiet. 8 11-100 d. Galveston, steady. 15c.
