lotstol Jan’y .ihilo wo were picketing on
the Trent Itivcr iuilc.s above Newbern. Our
iuinp hui been xoitod tlio ui^ht before by the
unexpected urriwi of 4 or .')O0U soldiers, intautry
and urtilh ry, and we softti learned that We were
to advaneo on N;#t)cr:i We were arouBed by
the bu^le at .'Jd’ciock, and ofV we put in the di
rection of that lifit ol yunkeort and traitors J‘
fore reu'iliin" the; mctny’s pickets we l>ote ofl to
the rijjrht by Viny oi a seoiit patli. We wore on
the South sitle ol tho Trent, aud our cavalry mtin-
bered 400, as goud soldierH as ever irew a blmlf.
We met up wirli night 3u^^t as we lust our path
The whole country around n«'emed uninhabited,
and we could h-ar iioiiiin!/ but ibe croaking of
fro^s—(tlicrc Wen- .* k> aii oj croakert. iu that day.;
JSiow we pnv:iter ttioii!fit that was a bad Wa>
to N;\vl>ern, for the ottioer.s lia«i not told us that
we wetvi goiut'; down to t ui the railroad and tple-
grupii beluw NVwbfiu an vit- were, tor whenever
till ilaptain rod* itl >ii>; the t-oluuin, every man
a.'.h d hiui wiicre in tlie worid we^all wore going
t- ' 'I’hey wcr5 anhWrrcd al! Ihe time “to New
b«tiu.” We eventually came to what w6 called
the jutuping-off-plaee, a deep bedded creek, with
an abrupt stcp-otffil' about feet. It is uselefis to
try to tell of tin? dtiekingH and spatteribga ther^
experienced, it ia enough to say that it waiiUko
the mo.st ot men’s experiences after getting to the
“jumping-oft-plaoe of life—iriuch worse than it
wa.s before.
We had a pilot along, who, by the by, ouebt
to have been piloted himself, for before we had
gone much farther, he was the worst lost man in
the column. The country we had to go through
was a vast wilderness or prairie called ‘‘The Foc-
osin,” with no inhabitant save the trogs in a bog
here and there, (icncrally it was a large plain.
covered over wi'h wire graas, ever and anon a
pine, like a moaning tientinel over the deep soli
tude surrounding, reared its lofty bead We
went in ginylejilc and our coluoiu waa al lea:;t
two miles long. It wss just dark enough to make
every visible object appear like what some ot the
boys called “waga doodles,” (ghosts.) The grey
ho'rses were easily seen aud I'ollowed, and henee
*- « gicy Dorse, wliloh
was impossible, tor we had but tew ot them. The
idea was for every man to keep up with hiH filo-
leader, else we might get lost from the head of
the column—a something which everybody dread
ed. Thus we wended our devious way over logs
and brush, and swimfs and “sucks,” as the boys
called them, for some hours, when the solemn si
lence was at length broken by some one tar in the
rear saying, “//a//otliercI”‘‘John!” *‘liill!”‘‘Jim'”
and nobody answering hc/itiil cried out “Hallo
somebody'. I’m lost!’’and so ho was, and the chain
being broken, so were all behind him *‘Thn rear
of the column lost!” echoed along the line till it
rcached the front and all halted for the lost ones
to come in. Far back in the swamp we could
hear whistling, one here and another there, ju«t
like a covey of young turkeys, that by some meaps
becomes scattered. I'iien we who were not lost
answered them with a similar whistle.
They all eventually came up, fiUeU with eoiu-
piaiiits about lo.st ham, sciatcb»d noses and mud
