A PRISONER OP WAR.
Incidents and Heminiscences of Two
Y ears of Prison Life, by a Houston
County Confederate Veteran
To continue our narrative, onr
march from Dick Robertson to Lex
ington, Ey., was as pleasantas could
be .expected. We passed through
that part of the state called'the "blue
grass region; we had the finest caut
erized turn pike roads to travel over
that I ever saw. Beautifufand mag
nificent stock farms were to be seen
on every side. No signs of devasta
tion from the cruel hand of war
were to be seen.
We arrived at Lexington just be
fore nightfall, and were penned up
for the night in a large two-story
building. Lexington was a very
strong rebel town, and the people of
the town, among whom was a large
nnmber of ladies, came to see the
rebel prisoners of war. The people,
the ladies especially, were so open
and so demonstrative in their sym
pathy for the prisoners that an extra
guard had to be put on to keep the
people from going right among the
prisoners. The ladies sent baskets
filled with good things to eat; also
cigars, pipes and tobacco;, canned
goods, lighthread, apple butter and
many other things to the prisoners.
So of the two thousand prisoners
each shared in part the hospitality
of the people of Lexington, who no
doubt will ever be kindly remember
ed by those who were so fortunate
as to withstand the vicissitudes of
two years of prison life. Yet many
brave and patriotic soldiers, full of
valor and devotion to their country,
left that patriotic town, Lexington,
to be earned to their last resting
plaoes, whose bones are now mould
ering in the dust on the shores of
Lake Michigan.
From Lexington we made rapid
time, passing through Lovisville, In
dianapolis and Milwaukee on to Chi
cago. At Louisville we were trans
ferred across the Ohio river into
Unionville, Inch, where we .spent
about two hours. In that little town
I disobeyed the injunction of m3
sainted mother—her admonition ~to
me, if ever taken a prisoner, to be
submissive to my enemies and obey
all orders. After crossing over Ma
son and Dixon line everybody and
everything seemed to be a foe to us.
Then and there I had the first im
pulse to make my escape, and de
vised a plan with that end in view,
but was defeated in the attempt. I
obtained permission from the col
onel in command for a guard to car
ry a squad of six or eight prisoners
to a hydrant to get water. My plan
was made known to my comrades,
and while at the hydrant, it being
about dusk, I was to slip off, which
I did, and would have made good
my escape had it not been that sev
eral ladies had come out near the
hydrant to look at the rebel prison
ers. An old lady cried ont to the
guard that one of the prisoners had
gone. One of the young ladies in
the crowd said, “Hush; let him go,”
but the guard soon brought his gun
to bear on me, and would have shot
had it not been for my comrades. I
was ordered to halt and fall into
ranks, which I did in quick time,
feeling as though a chill had come
on me. We left Union ville a little
after night, and were glad to get
away, for I do think it was one of
the most uninteresting places I ever
saw. It was a filthy-looking place
and the people seemed to be of a
low class. They had no love for
southerners, We were hissed at and
called all manner of names, but the
boys gave them about as good as
they sent.
From there we made no stops,
save a few minutes at a time, until
we reached Chicago. We were
marched into our prison walls about
10 o’clock ou the night of the 18th
of September 36 years ago last Sep-
tember. The night was cold and
we were poorly clad, and had blit
-one blanket to each man. We had
no fire, and suffered very much from
cold. When day began to dawn
about the first thing the boys no
ticed was a big white frost, and we
decided we had landed in a cold sli-
mate.
The following three days were ta
ken lip in forming squads, so many
in a squad. v The highest non-com
missioned officer of each squad was
put in charge. I being sergeant-
major of my regiment, I was put in
charge of it. as our entire regiment! ITEMS OF INTEREST,
was captured. The business of the h .. ... , ,
officer of each squad was to look af- j Paris has the biggest quill tooth-
ter his men; make out requisitions p ek mill
for clothing, shoes, hatsXand'blank
ets; to call the roll every morning;
make out a report, giving the num
ber of the well and also the number quinine used.
Germany has 856 municipal sav
ings banks.
Java famishes two-thirds of the
of sick prisoners. An orderly ser
geant, with two guards, came around
every morning, commencing at bar
rack No. 1 and continuing to No.
64
I will state just here that during
the first eight months of prison life
we had plenty of everything to eat.
We drew full regular army rations,
which was more than we could con
sume. We drew soap, pepper, rice,
army beans, flour, meal and bacon.
But after Lincoln refused -to ex
change any more prisoners of war,
the United States authorities claim
ed that their prisoners at Anderson-
ville, and at other places, were being
perished to death. So they retaliated
upon us, barely giving ns enough to
keep us alive.
When we arrived at camp we were
put in barracks set on blocks twelve
inches high, which made the floor
eighteen inches from the ground.
The barracks were sealed from the
ground on the outside, this being
done to. prevent the cold current of
air from passing under.
TO BE CONTINUED.
Secretary Boot has returned from
Cuba with changed intentions in re
gard to that island. Several months
ago it was agreed that with the ap
proaching spring there could be a
considerable decrease in the strength
of the troops, and steps were taken
to begin the movement north on
April 10th. Governor-General Wood
was the instigator of the proposed
action, believing affairs were assum
ing such' shape that at least two
j regiments could be ordered borne
and eventually the whole American
military force detached, and in’ its
place Cuban soldiers commanded by
Cuban officers be organized for the
preservation of peace and order.
Now this policy is to be reversed, it
is said, and instructions are soon to
be sent out countermanding all or
ders already issued. Instead of with
drawing troops others will probably
be sent. Mr. Boot’s action is said
not to be due to any fear of upris
ings, but only to the fact that the
present formation of native regi
ments is * not considered favorable
to the interests of peace”—whatever
that may mean. Although this pro
fesses to be a recent decision, the
fact that the war department within
the past month or two has spent
immense sums in Cuba in building
barracks for troops, makes it appear
as though it had been premeditated.
