Sealed proposals for the e tract of building a bridge over Spanish creek, on the public road leading from Trader’s Hill to Folkston will be received at any time until 11 oclock, a. in., on Thursday March 11th, 1886, when I belonged to the same company, all bids will be opened, and the j and as all the men knew each camp, pick up all possible in formation, etc. It was understood that he was sending troops off West and I was particularly charged to discover if tnere was any foundation in the report. I left the rebel cavalry out post at 10 o'clock one night, on foot and weuriug a blue uni form throughout. There was about one mile of neutral grounds between the outposts, and when I had crept down the highway almost to the Union videttes, I took to the fields and flanked ’em. I knew every rod of that country, and passing the vidette was a matter of no trouble. It was when I .reached the first line of sentinels that I had to go careful. It was midnight, i and Winter had set in. There was no snow, but the wind was cold and frozen. It so happened that I struck a party of French's corps. Knowing that Lee was going into Winter quarters, and knowing that a strong picket was out, tlie sentinels were not over watchful, I crept up until I located two, and both were muf fled up against the cold and thinking more of keeping warm i than looking for spies. While I was watching for a chance to skulk in, tlie t*vo came together and stood talking, and this gave me the show I wanted. I rose up from the cold ground, bore off a little to the right, and en tered the gjap without being seen. In more 1 was too cold to go prow to say nothing of the danger to be incurred. I walked up one street and down another, look ing for a place to stow myself away, and by and by I saw a soldier aptue out of a tent and go off. I reasoned that he was a guard and had come to this tent on some errand, and I was probably right. It was half tent, half shanty, with a fire-place in it. I crept in at the door and found a fire going and three men asleep un der the blankets. There was a heap of wood at hand, and the best I could do was to stir up the fire and hover over it. I didn't mean to fall asleep, that is I was determined to keep awake, but I had got fairly I warmed up and went off to the ‘land of Nod, and the next thing I knew it was daylight. None o’ the chaps under the the blankets were awake, and I slipped out without disturbing theta. Everything would have been all right had it not been for a man in a tent across the street. He had come out after wood and was standing there when I appeared. As both tents when wo fell upon and wrecked a tent and began to draw a crowd. Ln five minutes tliqre were fifty men around us, and pretty soon an officer ctirnca up, separates us and asks; “What is this row about?’' ‘T caught this chap stealing,” sing out my opponent. “He lies?” “Who are you?” asks the officer. “Private George Smith, of the Sixth Maine” “Where’s your regiment?” “Don’t know sir. 1 was cap tured by tlie rebs, got away, and am looking for my regiment.” “When did you come in?” “Last night.” “How did you pass all the out posts and sentinels?” lie had me there. I had as good as betrayed myself by that “I’ll see to your case 1” he growled, and be called the guard and had me marched off. The guard house was a log stable, and as soon as he reached it I was strip ped and searched. The next move was to hunt up the Sixth Maine and discover that I did not be long to that regiment. I was then taken to the corps headquarters and questioned. I changed my line of defense, claiming to be a deserter from the One Hundred and twenty-fourth j New York, who was voluntarily coming back to his regiment, but the next day the Colonel of thnt regiment came to look at me, and he pronounced me a liar and im poster. Next day, when a court martial was convened, I had no defense to oiler.

He was a sour-faced, beetle-browed chap, and the moment I looked into his eyes I knew I shou d have a row. “Ah, I caught you.” he growl ed as I faced him. “At what?” I coolly axed. “Stealing, of course!” “You are wrong. I went in there to get warm.” “Who be you?” “George Smith.” “What regiment?” “Sixth Maine.” L wasn’t answering at ran dom. I knew that the Sixth Maine was in the tight at Rap- pahanock Station about one month before, because I had talked to some of the prisoners. “Where's your regiment?” he asked. “That's what I am looking for,” I replied. “I was taken by thc rebs fif teen days ago, and have just —Hi and come in.” iwered him .so promptly, .cli straight story, susx»icions i m d I whs daily expecting to hear their aJ>proval, when one night just beforJ'dusk .the chap lain of a Pennsylvania regiment came in to console nW^ He was about my size and age, wilh 'tb e same colored hair, and the minute I saw him I grasped at a plan. When wc hud talked a little I ask ed him. “How did you get in?” “Why. 1 showed my pass to thc guard” he answered. That was all I desired to know. He talked for about a quarter of an hour, and I made him promise to come and see me next evening at the same hour. He advised me to given up all hope and make my peace wilh God, and I gave him to understand that I might be more conti ite'on his next visit. I tell you, that next da} r seemed a week long. 1 had a plan, and it promised success. When the day did begin to fade a way I was so nervous and excited that I could not keep still. The chaplain came in just at dark, and as he grasped my hand he said : “Tlie papers have come back, and you must prepare to die 1” Pray for ine !” says 1. He knelt down, and he had scarcely uttered a word when I had him by the throat. It was so sudden, and I had such a grip on him, that he scarcely kicked, I didn’t want to kill him but I choked him until he was like a n.g. Then I off with his coat, vest and pants, and was into ’em before lie showed signs of coming to. It was too soon to go out, and I choked him some more. Poor man! felt powerful sorry to do him such injury, but my life was stake. In about twenty min utes I felt it safe to go out. I drag ged him into a corner, sat him up on end, and then knocked at the door. It was opened at once, and as I squeezed out the guard shut it without even glancing iu. “How is he, chaplain?” asks thc guard as he locks the ioor. “Resigned, poor man,” I an swers, and off 1 goes.
