Not having an oppoitnnify on the |
train of discussing ins plans, the Gen. '
= tv't td me t ) i.de ffirvVard with him,
and wc rode beyond our advanced
vidett.es. I remonstrated against this
as danger is, but the General said
that lie wished to converse with me
ovietlv. He seemed to have a fore- 1
bbdiogvof c7.il, for he remarked upon |
my suggestion that we might ba cap- |
fared, “they will never taue me
alive—they have sworn to kill me if |
they ever catch me again.” AVe still 1
rode in advance, and entered Green
viile fully fifteen minutes before our 1
advance guard.
The General, after directing me as !

whether the General stisneoled’ trendi- ;

“lie' wished the men to assist Mrs.

told me bis suspic.-aya that Mrs. Will

the enemy —“ but that was iiiri'j'il'jg - 1
as a thousand of our noble girl's had

morning of the 4th, 1 ".'as awakened

Upon inquiry, finding that it was rafii

ter receiving receipts from the differ

to bed, and was awakened by - tbc
heavy - firing around the house. Hast
'cirng intc th/GCopfaTsTobm, I found
that be lia<l gone out, ami on search
ing, found him in the garden.
I description of the grounds will
better enable your readers to fully
understand stil sequent events. The
enclosure occupied just one block,
and therefore was surrounded by four
streets, on the northern side, and oc
cupying almost the whole space stood
the house—a large substantial brick',
fronting south. To the right and
southward .Were the stables; ami still |
further, ‘and reach Rig to the froig,
street was' ft. small vineyard .of jirobiwl
bly 'Avo b’tbdreil vines. In ihe south
c-ast* corner of the lot stood a small j
'frame church, 'raised on brick columns. 1
'about three feet from the grou:.,4'. 1
The remainder of. the lot was filled'
with Towers and shrubbery.
’ I 'bund ’.fie. General in the vii.uity I
of the church, and we took refuge j
under it to consult. lie directed me j
to <fo to tlte tap of the bouse to see |

momeni:rrHy less as the lire '-us !
growing heavy and at point blank
range. lie replied :
“It is useless : they have sworn*
never t-s - take me a prisoner.”
Hearing the church being forced
open, we crossed over into the vine
yard. It must here be state ! that
"l! movements were effected b_v al-
Afost crawling and taking advantage
of each bush, as the enemy were not 1
twenty yards from us; and crouch
ing down aiifo://tiie vines, Mr. Jolm
rtW' and myself again urged hint to
go up to the house. " This he refuse I,
and told us that we liavT lleP&or separ-
St'i*. as three together might be ner
cci've'd. ’ In' fetn'iiigy'llie Geiiefal slvook
bands with me, and remarked :
“ You will never see me again.”
I had gone but •; few steps when T
heard'diim cal! out
“ Don’t shoot 1 P snrreirder.” -
Stopping immediately,' ! looked
around, ami upon the outside of'the
fence, almost over the General; who
had risen, and was holding up his
hands, sat a Yankee with gun pre
sented, who replied :
“ Surrender and be God: damned—
p Enow you ” —and fired. 1 was so
close, that to this day, I firmly be
lieve that I can identify ttio Mi : j-.
As so o n as the shot was

commenced shouting: Iv’e killed

.When, after repeated solicitations, the
Isergeant Svltd%sd me in r harco con

“Yon must go to the clerk.'’

“ They say you will marry.”

“Peoplewho sit nervously ill count- :

who have spent large sums in Ub .vg \

known appliances to trail have ef
fected large sales, but swallowed up
too large a share of the receipts in
such enormous attendant expenses.

by those who have returned to more

there is nothing so it’vciive'o tics

advertising may be like a gentletoucli
