THE WAY “AUNT CHANEY”
SAVED THE TREas
URES.
BY HOWARD WAYNE.
11l the bogioiujg of the year I8(j, r >;
when the demot uliziug influences
resuitiiig from the bitter struggle
bet ween the stales were seett and
felt, in every portion of the south,
there arose a clan of unpricipled
desperadoes, who were too coward
ly to light sot their country—de
serters from the Rebel army—andi
who passed off us Union soldiers,
and under /his guise did our sec--
tiou more harm, and caused the
the people uneasiness, thai did
ihe Eederals. Many were the fain
iltes that suffered from their depre
datioos.
They would collect iu squads,
of from ton to twenty, make their
midnight raids upon the unprotect
ed, secure whatever they wish* 1
us provisions, jewelry, si ver plate,
money, horses etc., nrako their es
cape and endeavor to leave behind
the impression that the yaukoes
were the real transgressors. Our
people learned to dread iheradi
ers a great deal more than they
did the yankees.
Especially would these out
laws swoop down upon the more
wealthy of our citizens, where they
expected to find tbe richer booty.
Mis. Walden, since her son's de
parture for the army, by meads of
hired help, had managed jo mak<o
upon her rich plantation, an abun
dance of every.tbing that she need
ed, and a great many believed that
she hud money.
Expecting a “raid” Mrs Walden,
her Daughter, and an old ingress,
• bad secured a small, tin trunk,
placed all their valuables in it, dug
a hole iu the dirt tiocu of the
smoke-house, and sccniely buried
it.
Bes des this they had placed a
second box, containing old links
iron, oh! plows etc., well locked’
which had the appearance of se
curity and also of containing any
amount of valuable.
Mrs. Walden had but three
children, two cf whom were iu the
lobelarmy. The other, a daugh
ter, sixteen years old, was with
her, and they, together wi/h “Aunt
Chaney,” the old negro woman <
were ihe oulvpersons on the place.
No wonder then, that the IFaL
den’s house-hold was uneasy when
they knew that “raiders” were
numerous i« the sHtlement. How
securely did they lock ana bur tbe
doers aud windows before retiling
for tlie night!
Every footsfall, every clotter of
hoots, seemed u indicate the ap
prouoU of the dreaded “raiders.*
With such fears it was ofieu im
possible for the mother and dangh
ler to sleep.
One night, when s eep had been
driven away by fear, they lay talk
>ng ot their expected enemies,when
the sound of hoofs made them feel
assuted thattho ‘raiders” were up
ou them ! Iu a few mitutvs the
enemy was at the doot, knocking
for admittance.
How still the frightened woman
lay as the robbers pounded the
doors and windows for entrance
l’lio fastening®, however, had been
too well secured, and, for the time
being, they had to abandon the
idea of gaining entrance to the
dwelling. Next, they proceeded
to the kitchen, where the old ne
gro slept. With "Aunt Chaney”
they were more successful. Not
allowing trouble to rest so heavily
upon her mind as hid the white
ladies, she waned joying a profound
slumbet ; and ou l cing suddenly
aroused, instinctively answered the
call of /he deseiters ; and, before
she realized the situation, had
opened the door, aud was confront
ed by ten desperate raiders ! The
old negroe’a fust impiession was
to sertain for Help; bgttben re
membeiing that no one was near
that could assist her, she conclud
ed that “I'iscrition is the better
part of valor, ’’ and that she would
make the best of the situation she
could. Then one of the men ad
dressed he* -
“Say, “Aunty,” aren’t you glad
we have come?”
LAWRENCEVILLE G-A Tuesday August 31 1866
“Lor’ no, boss, whats l’se glad
fur, do yer reck’n f” answered the
frightened woman, in us cheerful a
manner as she could assume.
“Wed, beciuse we are yankees,
and your friends ; we want to as
sist all the colored people to gain
their fretdoti,” went on Die i, pew
t or.
“Ar’ you’ns yankees?” inquired
Auut Chancy, very mereduonsly.
“Certaiuly wo are yankees,”
joined in a half dozen voices, and
then one continued, “We live in
/he norih, and have come all the
way down here to givo tue colored
people their freedom.”
‘You’uus mighty few peop/e to
set all the black 'uus free.” retorted
“Auut Chancy,” and then eo tin
ued, ‘Y’s free now as 1 wan/s ter
be.’
“Well;” resuiumed onD, “we
want something to e»t, can’t you
give us something?”
“Nufi'n on dis place, boss, til
for a yankee ter eat,” responded
“Aunt Chuuey.” with a little con -
tempt in her tone, despite her
effi i t the contrary.
“Oh, we know better,’* exclaimed
on« who was getting out of pa
hence, “come, get the kay, and let
us go in the suioko house and see
what we can find.’
“Lor,’ c/tile, nufin in dat ole
rick’ty smoke-’onse you’uns 'ud
bab,” said t Ire old negress.
“But never mind that,” respond
e d the oilier, “we wish to he t 1 e
judge*, onrs'i.ves. So, come along,
and don’t be ali night aoontit, eilh
“Aunt Chaney" hearing the man
speak in such a commanding tone,
secured /lie key and led the way
to /he desired building. When
they were all fairly inside, one of
/he men, hiking the key from ibe
outside, inserted it on the mside;
an 1 after locking them all in, said,
addressing the old irtigror *"!
guess we will have some news out
of you before you get ou/ of here.”
The first thing they demanded
was whisky; and /he old woman>
thinking a drunken man more eas 1
ly fooled than a sober one, pointed
to a keg containing brandy.
T/te “raiders” greedily devoured
the fiery contents of the keg, and
then began looking for other things
Strnds of preserves, jars of honey
and other luxuries were freely par
taken of, and what could not be
oaten, nor carried off’, was malicious
ly destroyed.
After everything was destroyed,
and the greed and malice of the
deserters were satiated, they oe
gan to demand money and valu
ables, of tbe old negro.
“Cttp’n," said one of the min ad
dressing one who seemed to exor
cise the greatest autbciily, this is
all very nice, but all these luxuries
can not suppy the place cf of mon.
ey ”
“That’s so,” said the other, “say,
“Aunty,” tell us where tbe money
and jewels are hidden,”
At this “Aunt Chaney” feigned
any aimmt ( f surprise and said :
“Lor* B ike.*, Boss, we’uns baint
go l no money ; bless de Lor’ we
laiut!”
“See here, tuat sort of a tale will
never do. We watt that money,
and want it quickly,” demanded
the one addressed as Captain.
“Fo’ de Heab’ms, boss, we’uns
hnint got no money ; notin' but po’
wider like beah, an’ to’ de good
Lor' an’ Mopes, I swar’ we’uutt
lraint go no money.”
“Well boys,’ con inu?d the Cap
tain, “1 was in hopes she would
produce ilie‘scads’ without having
to be hung up; but I see she will
net; so, Tom, prepare the rope.’
“Bless de good Lor’, Boss, i tell
you God’s truf, if 1 knowed wbar’
any money wna, / would git it fur
you. Please don’t bodder me,”
pleaded the old woman, with tears
in her eyes.
• But her pleadings did no good
a rope was produced, aud tied
around each thumb, regardless ot '
the pleadings, bowls, and shrieks
of the old uegre ; aud, although '
sqe asseverated, again, and attain, |
the absence us money and jewelry,
she was diawn up over a beam, by
the rope .until her toes would bare
iy touch the ground, and allowed
to remain in that position until she
had sufl'ored unspeakable agony,
aud was made to to confess having
a box of .Money a»d jewels buried'

Upon this coi session she wus ie
Wsed, and, accompanied by two
of tbe party, was sen/ for a hoe.
By ibis time the free use of bran
dy had dune its work, and the
drunken robbi rs were very uoiny

lieved, t bey ceased to keep such
vigilance upon the old negro, and
she was allowed to go to the houte
for a key. The debauchery of the
raiders had prevented their observ
ing tbe shrewd trick in the old wo
man in changing the key of the
smoke house, from ihe inside to
tha out, and as she passed out of
the door, ostensibly to procure a
key for Ihe box of treasures ( f ,j
but really for oilier pnrposes, she
slammed the door, and turned the
key, ere /he debauchees knew it I
The house, like other smoke hous
es iu that section, was made of
argo rocks, cemented with lime,
and covered wi/h heavy laths and
bosrds.
The ceiling was composed of
sweet-gum planks, two inches
think. In their presen stale, the
smoke-house made a very secure
prison for tue robbers ; and consul
erii.g their having uo/hing to effect
‘an escape with, “Aunt Cnaney”felt
assured that they woul i be coutiu'
ed till morning.
“Hal La ! ha 1’ laughed the old
negro as she turned the key*
/You’nns kin lie down an’ take
year rest now, 1 shall fetch you de
key to your treasure box iu de
momin’.”
7’ho nien begged most piteously
to be allowed their freedom, all of
which had do effect upou the sym
pathies of the old negro; and she
onekh*d most merrily as she wished
them a good nights rest and pleas
ant dreams. After informing he
two ladies at the house of her
trtsk, and /he condition iu which
the had left the robbers. *he re
quested that they keep watch over
the conduct of the outlaws, and, if
need be, use arms iu keeptug them
iu the prison iu which they were
now confined. The old negro
■ow depaited lor the house of ihe
nearest neighbor.
jtliy sun up, on the following
morning, fifteen armed men arrived
on the ground! The raiders were
conducted from their prison, and
marched off, under a heavy guard,
to the nearest prison ; and were
there dealt with, as deserters and
robbers ! And this was how‘*Aun l
Ouaney” saved the treasures.

Messrs. J. M. Stoddard & Co.,
publishers, of Washington, Philas

whicli innsi attract great, attention
from all piers ins who aro ’niorest
ed iu the events pertaining lo ihe
history of the great war.
“The Memoirs of Robert E.
Lee,’’ have t*een in preparation for
a long time, but not tiuul this
fall have they taken si’ch dufini/i
shape as to be ready for announce
ment. The bonk is a full and com
plete history of the military career
anal campaigns of Gen. Lee, writ
ten by Gen. Armistead Long, a
graduate of West Point, who was
for four years in intimate associa
tion with Gen. Lee, a member of
his stuff, and for some time his
confidential military sedreary,—
Gen. Long took very full uutes
during all the operations and cam
paigns, from which he Has written
a clear, authentic, accurate milita
ry history. The work has receiv
ed tlie full consent and approval
of the surviving members of Gen.
Lee’s family, (Justis Lee, ir> a per
sonal letter, testifying to the fit
ness of 6'<"ii Long for the work,
and other members of the Lee
family h,»ve conveyed important
information, private letters, etc.,
which add greatly to its value.
Apat of the book will be de'
voted to the personal, domestic
and social history of Gen. Lea,
a nd will include a larga and high
ly valuable store of information
never before published, 'llris por
lion of Ihe book will be chiefly
the woik of Hon. Marcus J.
Wright, a distinguished officer of
the Confederate service, and now
the agent of /he government for
the collection of Confederate res
cords. Col. Wright’s widaacqaiu
tame with the civil and military
history o ihe Confederacy will be
of giva/ service Many most in*
teresting sketches, anecdotes and
iuciaeuis have beeu placed in the
possession of /he authors by imi
mate person'll friends, distiugu.sh
ed officers, public men, wiio were
associated with i.ee during almost
every yeurof his life. There will
be appended a copious index, also
an accurate copy of the most un
portant militaiy reports of Lee on
his great campaigns, together
with a very Complete stalemuni of
the forces comprising the Confed
erate armies at the most impor
tant epochs.
The llluat rations will comprise
portraitn never before published, a
reproduction of the recumbent
statute erected over the tomb of
Lee at Lexington, and the neces
sary diagram , maps, etc., liessri
biug the battlos and movemer ts

Atttie suggestion of the authors
the publishers have decided to
make u donaticn for tue benefit of
the C'oafedera e Soldiers’ //owe at
Ricuiuond. In this t iey follow
the lead of Gen. Grant, wnose sins
ceie interest in the wellaro of this
imtitntion was shown in contribu
ting to it his cordial, hearty sym
pathy and subsiuu ial pecuniary
donation. T he home has been
assisted lb the extent of thousands
of dollars by the Grand Army o
the ltepublic of the North, and it
was an eminently proper thing
that these two Confedera e officers
should themselves testify their in
terest and sympathy oy jontribu
ting a share of Ihe proceeds of the
sale of the book. This idea has
been received wilh favor by the
genllemmin charge of the insti
tution. and E’i/zhugh Lee, has for
mally accepted and approved the
suggestion. The plan of the book
bas been submitted for the inspec
tion of a great number of leading
Son*hern gentlemen, all of whom
haye cordially endorsed and te»-
litied over their signatures to the
value of the work at the present
time. The Governors of a number
of Southern States have given
their approval and have recom
mended it to the people of their
respective States. 7die book will
be published in one volume, about

seven hundred pages, printed and
bound iu the beat Bfyle, and will
be ready for delivery in the early
fall, Messrs. Stoddard & Co,,
have also made arrangements for
its publication iu England, Ger
many, and France. Such a work
as ibis at tbe present tune, written
by men who have full authority
and experience to speak, will have
great-weight in decidiug many dis
pufed questions which are sujects
of controversy, and will be au in
valuable addition to the literature

Just at the present time there
are many points concerning tho
