Another apology I offer for this
iDfliction now is theJall in politic,
and the necessity foT'dirtrting our
minds from tho troubles incident to
the low price of cotton, as in those
days the writer had to resort to
hard school-boy Htudy to keep h a
mind off the national troubles,
coupled with the particular and per
sonal troubles of a tioub'e-1 Htooncb,
for, be it remembered, that when
we were confined there in 1863,
there were laTge quantities of largo
rats perhaps, hundred3 of thous
ands tbat rapidly and entirely
disappeared when our rations were
di tressingly shortened, and lastly,
th;re being no further need of bis
service, the fatherly Tom cat was
butchered, cooked and devoured in
Block 10. In this last feast the
writer did not participate.
But, before commencing the po
etry, I will state for fhe benefit of
tie young and uninitiated that tha
Island had an area of about fifty
acres, ljing out-in Lake Erier north
of tbe State of Ohio, three or four
miles from tbe main and. bud a cold,
bleak place in winter. The Prison
Pen was an enclosure on the Island
of Ten or twelve acres, surrounded
bv a p'ank fenc, twelve or fifteen
feet high, with an elevated platform
at tho top, running entire around
it, on which tbe sentinels walked
and overlooked the Pen," and at
night, iromUttoo-tTeveille they
would brvak the silence by c tiling
out loudly every tatfahour the time,
with the word-?, pXnd all's well !"
Cedar Point Lighthouse was sit
uated on a tongue of the mainland,
five or biz miles Southeast of the
jtsiana, me ngnc oi wnicn was so
plainly visible in the direction we
loved to look that it spanned the
water with a bridge of silver, over
which we often, in fancy wandered
to our own dear Southland. It was
these surroundings that suggested
to Capt. R. VVright, of Texas, a
graphic sketch of Cedar Point by
moonlight, and to Lt. II o ward C.
Wright, 30th Louisiana Infantry,
the following truthful and touching
lines.
But I . want to digress again and
tell you of some of the men we had
there. First as to honorable men
tion comes our xonest Joe Davis,
then Captain of 47th N. C. Infant
ry ; oar Attorney-General, iieenan,
then Colenel 43rd N. C.j Judge
Eure, then Captaiu 2nd Cavalry ;
Col. Wharton J. Green, of Daniel's
Brigade ; Judge Cantwel!, then Lt.
Uolonel 4th N. C. Cavalry, and
our lamented Sam'l P. Hill, then
Lt. 6th N. C. infantry, and a host
of other North Carolina men. From
other Stales were Gov. D. P. Penn,
of Louisiana, then Coloael 7th Lou
isiana, who, sinco the war, has fig
ured quite prominently in Louisi
ana politics ; Gen. Miles, of New
Orleans, then of the 'Miles Legion,'
a dignified old gentleman, a perfect
phototype of the Duke of Welling
ton ; Gen. Beall, of Little Rock,
Ark. ; and Gens. Temille and
Archer, of Baltimore, the latter
was sent for retaliatory purposes
under our guns in Charleston har
bor ; Gens. Rucker, Gordon, Mar
maduke, and numbers of good and
prominent men from all portions, of
every State in the South. North
Carolina, at the time, I write of,
(12th of May, 1864,) had the lar
gest number, 332 : Tennessee the
next, 298 ; Arkansas the next, 278;
Alabama the next, 270. The total
was about 3,000, all officers. Edge-
combo had u: Lt. JN. M. Lawrence,

Silence over prison qnartere,

Shrill the cry, by sentry spoken

Half-past ten o'clock" is calling ; !
"All is weU 1" Ah. whence that sigh ?
Twas like grief In cadence falling
From some o'ercharged heart cioso by ;
Like a weary zephyr dying,
Where October's leaves are lying,
Yet the sentry is replying,
'All is weill"
From yon 'light-house comes a glistening,
Like a ray of hope it seems ; j
Eager hearts to false hope listening,
: Hope that only comes in dreams.
Oh, that hope of home returning ! j '
Hoping on and with a burning, '
Feverish fire of ceaseless yearning
"AnisweU!"
See, a bridge of silver glossing ,
Spans the bay from shore to shore!
Eager Fancy, o'er it crossing,
Seeks to wander ever more ;' ;
Seeks to stroll midst childhood's flowers,
'Midst affections changeless bowers,
Or with love in moonlight hours ; '
"All is well!"
Bnt the Present, still intruding,
With its harsh, repulsive troth,
Comes unbidden here, excluding '

SENATOR JONES INTERVIEW

Gen. Grant's Prospects on the
Pacific Coast A Solid South..
C'Gath" in the Cincinnatli Enquirer, Jan. 8
'Senator, do you regret that
Gen. Grant signed the veto of the
Inflation bill following your gold
speech in the Senate V
I relieve that et that time he
thought he had done the great act
of his life. I admit.' said the Sen
ator, 'that I applauded Grant's act
heartily and spoke in favor of that
step. I think now that he I and I
made a tremendous mistake. When
I advocated specie and speedy re
sumption I was only in the vestibule
of later convictions which have made
me believe in nothing bat the money
of intelligence.' . .
Mxe the people on the Pacific
side rather well disposed toward the
republican party and lirant?
; 'There is no doubt,' said Senator
Jonei, 'that Gen. Grant is enor
mously the favorite ameng the pee-
fle at large. lie is my friend, and
have a strong admiration for his
good, strong traits of character. At
the same time I do not know wheth
er enough votes might not be cast
against him among republicans to
beat him. It is probable that he
could be elected, bat there if a risk
in it. I cenfess myself thst it gives
me a little resentment to nave peo
ple say that nobody bat Grant can
run this ; great country. When , 1
hear that said I feel like exclaiming,
Well, we'll eeo if there ain't ! We'll
just have it ruled for fun by another
man

: 'Then you are net yet certain in
your mind that Grant is your first

l 'I have not made up my mind at
all yet. There is no person who
thinks more of Gen. Grant than I
do. If we. were in a rery ld con
ditionthreatened by socialism.with
great railroad strike?, with inseeu
ntv. insubordination and rebellion
in some one section, I think 'the
people would almost, nnanimously
err out for. Grant, belierios Lthat
in his superb poise, his intelligent
insensibility at tho proper timeJ and
strong, physical, way of facing die,

past year. J have tome interests in
Atlanta, Ga., and I went there and
to New Orleans, and as far as Tex
as. The only portion of the South
that struck me with ranch piomiee
was Northern Texas, where it is in
habited , by our, own Northwestern
people., ,. They i will make a new
Kansas of it, with the institutions
and feelings .of a good civilization.
Aa for the rest 1 this very little
the State of Soath Carolina if they
were to give me. the entire Com

possible to get a good meal of ric
taals in the Soath. They have not
learned the first rudiments cf cook
ing,' Wherever you go you find
your meats fried in boar's fat. There
is one spot, ot least, where I am
delicate, and that is, my stomach:
They have plenty of good, game ia
tbe South, pat have no conception
of how to prepare it. They gave as
in Texas fine prairie chicken, which
had the promise of making a deli
cious -meal, bat suddenly it would
be returned, all baked in sow's fat.
'For God'e sake J said to the cook
at Atlanta, 'can't you take that and
have a little 'batter potion it and
cook it like w Christian VJf.l
' 'Another thing struek me in al
meet every pert of the South the
vicious,, surly looks of the young
men. Throughout the North the
young, men hare: genial, considerate,
rind countenances. In the South
the young men too often look at you
as if to say, , 'What in the devil are
you thinking about me new V They
look ready - to burst out! and cut
somebody for a fancied sUght. Such
a state of society is far from amia
ble, when at the very; brink and
hopefulness of life you see the young
men wearing countenances like Abi
Balorn. I noticed, also, that they
have great, numbers of military
academies, where they are drilling
and wearing uniforms. - i
' ' THE KIBEL YELL.
i 'fn a certain place in Texas I was
taking an evening walk j along tho
road atthe outtkiits of the town,
when I heard some' one walking be
hind me, and found it to be an ath
letic young man. Suddenly he raised
a yell like an Indian which made
my blood nfi cold. I tamed about
to investigate this savage, and he
paid no attention to me until ho got
right op opposite to me, when with
out saying a word, he raised another
unearthly yell, I then turned
around and said, 'What do you mean
sir, rat Jog each scream as that at
mj side ?' By God, it's a free coun
try; and I reckon I can yell,!' 'No,
sir, I replied, 1 don't see why you
should . choose L thie hour of the
evening when 'you comb up to a per
son' you don't know to shout like an
Apache." ; , " - -i r.' ' ' " ':" -
Now, I suppose that young crea

social form of amusement he knew
anything, about' 7
I looked at their country, cov

showing a lean pig, and I thought
