WESTERN DEMOOEAT, CHARLOTTE,
REMARKABLE ESCAPE
From the dominions of the Northern tyrants.
William H. Parvin and William B. Willis,
of the Washington "Greys," Captain Thomas
Sparrow, from Washington, N. C, passed through
Petersburg last week on their return home, after
a long imprisonment at the North. Their escape'
from further confinement, and their subsequent
avoidance of detection and arrest, are remarkable
almost miraculous. They were taken prisoners
in company with many other gallant North Caro
linians at Fort Hatteras. We are all acquainted
with the circumstances of the surrender. From
Hatteras they were taken to Fort Lafayette the
Bastile of New York. Here they were kept in
close confinement until the latter part of October,
when they were all put aboard a steamer and
taken to Fort Warren near Boston.
On their way to Fort Warren, Parvin and Wil
lis formed some plan of escape, and announced
their intention to attempt it to Captain Sparrow,
who told them they must do it at their risk. If
they failed, heavy irons and close confinement for
the balance of the war would be their lot. But
they possessed brave hearts and were confident of
success. They supplied themselves with bread
and water, a candle, matches, &c. On their ar
rival at Boston the men were marched ashore in
companies, as their names were called. Immedia
tely before the name of the "Washington Greys"
was called, Parvin and Willis left their company,
descended from the deck and found their way into
the extra coal room of the steamer. Here they
concealed themselves, and in a little while had
built up a wall of coal around them so that any
person entering the room would not discover them.
Their late companions in arms were gone, and
they were now alone in the dark, unwholesome
coal bunk of an enemy's steamer, not knowing
what a day or an hour might bring forth. In
this condition they remained for a day, or proba
bly a day and a night, when a large number of
sailors were brought aboard the steamer to be
shipped to New York. On the 1st of November
the vessel left Boston, and landed her load at the
Brooklyn Navy Yard. In the bustle and confus
ion consequent upon their embarkation, they
thought they might leave their place of conceal
ment and make their escape. They gained the
deck and went unobserved on shore, with the
crowd of sailors. But they soon saw that their
time for escape had not yet come. All around
the Navy Yard were stationed sentinels, whom it
would be impossible to pass, lliey therefore re
solved to return to the steamer and await yet long
er. They now concealed themselves in the pri
vate apartment of the boat, and remained thus for
two days, when finally, and as if providentially,
in one of her trips the steamer ran afoul of a
schooner in the river, and was reported so much
damaged as to cause her to make for Jersey City
with all possible speed. Great excitement was
j reduced amorg her passengers, and everything
and everybody were iu the utmost confusion. A
most favorable opportunity now offered for them
to escape and they took advantage of it. They
left their hiding place again, and as soon as the
Jersey City landing was reached, they rushed
ashore. They then took passage on a ferry boat
for New York. In this great city the found
a friend, who took them in and kindly cared
for thtm. He ndviscd what they should do
and furnished them with money to complete their
Mans.
They took passage to Baltimore as Union sail
ors ami-Southern seceshers of the deepest dye.
In the Monumental City they had not far to go
before meeting with friends of the South and her
defenders. Clothes are given to them and they
are aided in getting employed on a wood schooner,
bound for some point on the lower Maryland shore.
For sixteen days they worked like beavers, and by
their unusual industrious habits and good behav
ior they gained the unbounded confidence, of the
Captain. His every wish was law, and every act
was done with pleasure. But the proud captain
was soon to be deprived of his prizes. It was the
night for Parvin to keep watch, and the Captain
had retired, and Willis had pretended to do so.
iiut hands were busy as eyes. Sails for the small
boat attached to the 6chooncr were made and fitt
ed. The proper hour had come; the sign was giv
en, and the two men set forth upon the dark wa
ters. It was alia venture to them, for they knew
not whether they might land among friends or en
emies. After long hours of suspense and weary
travel, they landed on the Virginia side of the
Potomac, below Acquia Creek. Here they were
Jaken in Jeustody and sent to General Holmes'
headquarters, where they were joyfully recognized
by old acquaintances from North Carolina. They
were furnished with free passes over the railroads
home. Petersburg .1 press.
TREATIES WITH THE INDIANS.
We learn that the result of General Pike's mis
sion among the Indians has been most satisfactory
to the Confederate Government. He was appoint
ed by the President in March last Commissioner
to the Indian nations and tribes of Arkansas, but
received no official notification of the appointment
until about the 10th of May.
By the treaties which, since that time, he has
negotiated, all the Indian nations, tribes and bands
between Kansas and Red river have placed them
selves under the protection of the Confederate
States, and became their allies and wards. The
whole Indian country West of Arkansas is thus
secured to us. Under these treaties, the Chero
kees, a people who originally inhabited parts of
Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia
and Tennessee, now numbering about twenty-two
thousand persons, have raised two full regiments
of one thousand each, about half of whom are arm
ed. The Creeks, once inhabiting parts of Georgia,
Florida and Alabama, now numbering about thir
teen thousand fivo hundred persons, have raised a
regiment of some seven hundred and fifty men,
partially armed; tho Choctaws and Chickasaws,
formerly inhabiting Mississippi and part of Ala
bama, and now numbering together about seven
teen thousand five hundred persons, have raised a
full regiment of one thousand men, who have beer,
in part armed by the government; and the Semi
no'es, originally a part of the Creeks, and still
speaking the same language, now numbering about
four thousand, desire to furnish a battallion of
five hundred men. The Choctaws also offer an
other regiment; another was offered by the Creeks;
and the Osages have agreed to furnish, if required,
five hundred men.
Thus has ended successfully, for the Confeder
ate States, the mission of Commissioner Pike
among the Indians. He has added to our territo
ry the whole country West of Arkansas inhabited
by the Indians, which is equal in extent, if not
greater, than the State of Arkansas, and unsur
passed by any State in its natural wealth and fer
tility. The establishment of the undisputed au
thority of the Confederate Government over this
territory, without the fighting of a si ngle battle
or the cost of a single life, and the addition to the
fighting men of the Confederacy of many thousands
of brave warriors, who are now friends and not
enemies, are the fruits of his labors of the past
six months.
NARRATIVE OP MR H. C FERRELL.
We have already alluded to the return home of
Mr Ferrell, one of the released prisoners from the
dominions of Abraham I. Mr Ferrell was one of
the youngest members of the Washington Light
Infantry Volunteers, Capt. James Conner, from
this city, attached to Hampton's Legion. He
was taken prisoner at the battle of Manassas, hav
ing become separated from his company while
; marching through a thicket. The first knowledge
j that he received of his being in the hands of the
: enemy, was on finding himself in the midst of a
! Maine regiment, who at once began to strip him
j of whatever valuables he had about his person.
J They first cleaned out his pocket book, containing
j about $10 iu bills, and some small silver change,
j lleaiing that the Fire Zouaves had vowed partic
! ular vengeance on the Hampton Legion, after his
I first surprise, he took from his hat the "brass let-
ters, "H. L., S. C. V.," indicative of his member-
ship in the Legion, and secreted them in his
1 uniform. These were also stolen from him. It
proved afterwards, however, a fortunate circum
stance, the Zouaves failing to identify and mistak
ing the young South Carolinian for a member of
i their own regiment, whose uniform was some
j what similar to that of the Hampton Legion,
j In company with another prisoner, he was plac-
ed in charge of a guard of six, who marched him
I all night through a drenching rain, at the double
j quick to Washington, where they arrived 31onday
morning, about five o'clock . Being taken to
Gen. Mansfield's headquarters that officer com
menced questioning him as to the bravery and
gallantry displayed by the grand army during the
fight. Our young friend informed him that it
could only be appreciated by those who had seen
the very good time made, particularly by the
Zouaves, for their former station near the great
capital. Gen. Mansfield then ordered the prison
ers to be confined in the old Capitol, where there
were already from eighty to one hundred kept in
c lose quarters, and who had been taken 011 vari
ous previous occasions. Here they were divided
off" into squads of from ten to twelve in small rooms
with scarcely rpace enough to walk for exercise.
The only food furnished by the Government was
hard pilot bread and water. Their friends, how
ever, were allowed to visit them occasionally,
and a number of Southern ladies in Washington
supplied them with luxuries, furnished them with
new and comfortable clothing, gave them books
and papers, and expressed ih.-ir sympathies in eve
ry posible way.
This continued, however, but a short time. The
Government became suspicious, the most strin
gent measures were adopted, and all intercourse
with the prisoners, except by the guard, prohibit
ed. Several boxes of clothing and other articles,
sent afterwards, were taken from the prisoners and
appropriated to the use of their own troops.
Occasionally they would get a newspaper by
paying an exorbitant price to the guard. Even
those who were in the habit of recognizing the
prisoners by a wave of their handkerchief's before
the windows were suspected and frequently taken
in custody. Their windows overlooked a magnifi
es it lawn, around which the President and Mrs.
Lincoln rode nearly every day. The prisoners at
such times blockaded the windows to set a si"ht
of him who was regarded the chief cause of the
war. Like a criminal, however, conscious of his
guilt, Abraham refused to show the light of his
countenance to them, and never looked up. The
soldiers acted differently. When off duty, they
would frequently gather in crowds opposite the
windows, call for "Secesh," and when intoxicated
vent their abuse in throwing stones, shooting
at the windows, calling the prisoners traitors,
rebels &c , declaring that the American flag should
yet wave over them.
A grand review of the army in and around
Washington was made by McClellan the Saturday
previous to the release of the prisoners. The pro
cession commenced moving at half-past ten in the
morning, the last of the troops passed the Capi
tol grounds about half-past three o'clock in the
afternoon. The force was estimated by the pris
oners at about 300,000, with 300 pieces of artille
ry. Most of the troops marched very badly, and
several of the Cavalry tumbled out of their sad
dles, one of which died the next day. Upon the
arrival of Lincoln a salute was fired, bursting one
of the pieces and killing two men.
In speaking of the Leasburg battle they admit
the loss of 500 men taken prisoners, and from
300 to 400 killed in battle, but attribute the re
sult to the mismanagement and cowardice of their
officers.
The prisoners released were taken from Wash
ington to Fort McIIenry, Baltimore, by night, so
as to avoid as much as possible all expression of
sympathy by the secessionists. They were kept
at Fort McHenry until the next evening, when
they were placed on board the steamer Washing
ton tor Craney Island. During their stay at the
fort they saw Col. Thomas walking about the
yard, but were not permitted to converse with him.
His guard informed them that Col. Thomas
amused himself, however, by setting up pins and
having a grand battle between the Confederate and
Unionists, in which the former were always cer
tain to come off victorious. As the prisoners were
leaving Baltimore a numbsr of their friends gath
ered around the boat, cheering for Jeff. Davis
and the Southern Confederacy. These prisoners
have been released upon their parole, not to fight
unless regularly exchanged. Charleston Courier.
Salt. We are happy to be able to announce
from good authority that in a few days there will
be salt enough manufactured near Morehead City
to supply any demand that is likely to be made.
We are assured that gentlemen of ability and
energy have taken the matter in hand and
will be able, in a few days to turn out two hundred
bushels per day, which they intend to sell on
living terms. So those who have hogs up fatten
ing need not turn them out for fear of not being
able to salt them, but instead thereof, may put up
twice as many more. Nelcbern Progress.
No Cotton from Egypt for the Yankees.
Late Northern advices assert that the English
papers contain distressing accounts of the damage
by the inundation of Egypt, caused by the extra
ordinary rise of the waters of the Nile. Many
villages have been overwhelmed, with great loss
of cattle and even of human life. The greater
part of the standing crop of Indian corn is stated
to be lost. Granaries, both government and private,
have been flooded, and already, it is said, there is
an intention to prohibit the further exportation of
grain from Alexandria. From the cotton districts,
where the process of picking the first ripe pods
had commenced there are accounts of heavy losses,
sufficient to make a material difference in the ex
tent of the crop's, an event which the Yankee
papers say is "to be particularly deplored at the
present time." One account states that the loss
of cotton will reach at least one-third of the entire
amount. It is Raid that it will take months to
repafr the railroads.
General Sam Houston is still among the living,
the frequent reports of his death to the contrary
notwithstanding. The last accounts from Texas
represent him as out of danger from his recent illness.

HESSIAN AND NEGRO INVADERS.
A late number of the Baltimore South contains
the following statement of the manner in which
the "Grand Army" is now being filled up. . Un

Sunday evening a regiment of un

shores of Europe, passed through this city for
Washington.
A friend who witnessed the passage of this
body, and who followed them to Camdeu station,
says there were not a dozen in the regiment who
could speak or understand the English language.
A German was sent among them while delayed at
the station to inouire where they were from, and
how thev come to enlist. He was told that a
large number of them had not been in New York
a week, and having been offered good wages and
one hundred dollars at the end of the war, and a
promise that all the land they conquered in the
South should be divided among them, they had
promptly enlisted in the army. They neither
knew nor cared anything about the nature ot tne
war, they had enlisted for the poyl
We are informed that at an early hour this
morning there passed through our city a regiment,
a number of whom were negroes rough, uncouth,
ignorant negroes marshalled into Lincoln's ser

Lincoln's Government, endorse this hiring of
Hessians and negroes to war upon tneir brethron
