TURNER'S ROMANCE i IXo. 15. Our commisioned officers in each company were: A captain, two lieu tenants, who, in my company had been returned home on a pass and did not come back, so I was left in com mand of the company during the re mainder of the war. Our major had a call for 18 men to do guard duty on the train from Wilmington to Weldon made in three relieves of six each. I went with these. The remainder cf my company remained with the bat talion in charge of the second cor poral. The Relieve that was off duty on the train was at the public road en tering the city. My post when not on the railroad was at the ferry across northeast river. The citizens of the town could not pass out without a pass from the prevost marshal's quar ters, so no one could pass into the city without giving a strict account of himself. Johnson's army commenced leaving in the morning and by night all were on the way to Goldsboro. The next morning we were informed that Sherman s cavalry was m sight so my guard and I started for Goldsboro. We caught up with some more of our boys who were trying to get to John son's army. We got in eight or ten miles of Goldsboro and Sherman's cavalry came in sight. Then it was run for life to keep out of their way. We reached Neuse river, where John ston had left a strong guard. Here we formed a line of battle and com menced firing an each other. John ston heard the firing and sent a brig ade to help us, so the tide turned and we drove them back a mile or two. We fell back to Goldsboro and our guards took up the old run from Wel don to Raleigh, so I missed the battle at Smithfield, though my battalion was at the last battle in North Caro lina. When Johnston got to Raleigh my guard run from there to Salis bury. I asked Major Whiten for a pass to visit home and he gave me one for eight days. Next day was my time to make the trip to Salisbury. Before time to start he wrote me a note telling me to make my run and he would lengthen my time. When we reached Durham the next day there was a part of Johnson's army heading for Greensboro. When we got near Raleigh we got on the train. (To be continued.) Bill f r a $23 000 nal igh ro u- ' ment. Senator Overman has introduced a bill to provide $25,000 for a ni;,i.un ert to be erected to Sir Wal ter Raleigh at Raleigh.
