Brooks, Clerk of the Su preme Court of the State of South Carolina : Ufly Dear Comrade : You having solicited a chapter from me for your forthcoming book, which is compli mentary in the extreme, and with great pleasure and considerable grat ification, but mainly as a thankful tribute to our Divine Master, who delivered me from the enemy, the following i3 offered : shadburne's capture and escape. It was the winter of 186-1, both armies, those of Lee and Grant, were resting for the final struggle soon to follow. The army of Lee was hold ing Richmond and Petersburg, while that of Grant beleaguered both of these cities and encompassed the army of Lee, and continuously bom- til . Daraea our position irom nis iron monsters. Tired and weary from long years of service, the scout nat urally sought a slight surcease from his sorrows and struggles, hence a furlough of 15 days was accorded to Shadburne and his next friend, the gallant James M. Sloan, of North Carolina, than whom there was no braver soldier or truer friend, and on about the 5th of November they started on their pilgrimage of love and affection. .Near Sinkler's ford on the Rappahannock was a large two-story brick house that com manded a view of the surrounding country, and in that house dwelt the family of the widow McMuran, con sisting of her son, a Presbyterian minister, and her two daughters, Misses Gertrude and Mary Virginia, and of all God's noblest and sweetest heroes and Jieroines of dear old Vir ginia, this family was amongst the most exalted. The young ladies were beautiful, refined and charming, and of a most lovely character, and the writer always had and still has a lin gering and longing affection for them; he loved them profoundly. and, of course, loved their mother and brother. Many a happy moment of rest, almost perfect rest, he had found under their protective watch fulness when he for a few hours was "off duty." Naturally this beloved home was their destination. They took the cars to the vicinity of Fred ericksburg, crossed the Rappahan nock, and on foot, on the 6th, reached the hallowed spot. Their coming had not been expected, but they were none the less happily re ceived, and their, or at least Shad burne s. cup of roseate buss was nearly full, for as ha3 been said the young ladies were very dear to him. No Pttempt will be made to portray their happiness during their stay. Suffice it to say after a period of two weeks they bade their friends adieu and trudged their way to Fredericks burg, crossed the river after dark, in a small boat, and found the city in the hands of the enemy, and in an attempt to escape therefrom were captured, and great was their cha grin, fear and trepidation, the rea sons for which were these: Not long prior thereto to-wit, Septem ber 16 all Grant's beeves, 2,486 head, had been captured, and that fact had been traced by the enemy to the chief of scouts, Shadburne, and for that and a few other feats, they had no love, but had it in for him, and now here he was in their hands he running the blockade, his pockets full of letters for "m the lines," a diary of past events on his rerson and his identity sure to be discovered, and worst of all his fur lough expired, the campaign about ve ranee U the price of liberty X We seemed to believe that sick man's plea, and kindly ordered him up be hind one of their troopers, and thu seated, Sloan walking near, they started for the enemy's ships in the river below the city, but soon halted in front of the Prebbyterian church and all dismounted and seated them- jt selves on the sidewalk. It was now very dark; onlythe stars gave a twinkle of light. Presently Shad burne crawled over to Sloan and laid his head on Sloan's knees and whis pered to him for his letters; then he stealithly approached a fence to an adjoining yard and began pushing letters under the fence, when a sav age dog began a terrific barking from the other side of that fence, and orders came, "Get away from that fence," which were quickly obeyed, and once more that sick man was seeking comfort from his friend. Sloan; and there he, silently, be neath his overcoat; dug up a brick in it. and allow me to get KO yard away, and then give the alarm If jou wish and 111 take my chance. I U give you $100 if you will do it. The guard agreed and disappeared In the dark, ostensibly for the eov-1 cat and cut. but it was of no araii. eted purpose; Shadburne returned to That apilng would not let go, and his blankets, and was toon summoned Williams, not hairing the ear of the before the commanding officer.

While riding behind the guard an attempt had been made to get him to "drop back," which he willingly did, and the resolution was instantly formed to force him from the saddle, leap therein and run for life, provided he dropped far enough back, but, alas, just as the propitious moment was about to arrive, the or der came, "Close up," and that pros pect had vanished. Thus .it i3 fre quently in life, just as -the oppor tunity has about presented " itself, it swered: "Do you think you have Shadburne ? Doyou think he is fool enough to let you get him? That note, it is true, was obtained from him, but to get him is another thing." The officer responded : "That will not do; you are identified; we' know you, and you- will answer to Gen. Grant." Thereupon Sloan and Shad burne were heavily manacled to gether and placed away down in the deepest part of the hold of. the1 steamship Daniel Webster, and started for Grant's headquarters. near City Point, on the James river. All day that vessel went on her course, and all day our hearts were as heavy as lead. About noon, a poor Irishman brought us lunch, and lying down on our pallets beside us offered his heartfelt sympathy, and it was sweet indeed. May God re ward him for that noble deed ! If we could always reflect upon the good we can do our fellows by just a little sympathy, our hearts would not be so cold, and we would the they soon returned, and Harden said : "Haven't you those damned things off yet?" Shadburne answered: "No; we need some solid something, an axe, for instance, to rest the shank ot this infernal thing on before we can knock it off." Without another word, Darden sprang through the door and disappeared and after a short while returned with the covet ed axe minus a helve and placing it on the floor said: "Williams, go out and tramp up and down the hall like hell," and away went Williams and tramped like the devil, and with one huge stroke by Harden we were released fiom ou. jrrip of steel, and saying. "Hide i hide it, he went forth tramping like h well, like. a horse. We hid our engines of war beneath the mattress of our bed, rer clasped the broken cuff, wound it with a handkerchief and went forth whistling "Dixie."

Springing out one on each aide, we decended into that filthy stuff up to our mid riffs, but by bearing down on the side of the boat and pushing at the same time, we managed to propel that craft, it neemed to us. for about 2l0 yards, when once more we were afloat, but discovered right ahead of us a dark object on the water. which at first feared was the patrol and we were about to aban don our boat and swim for it. when we discovered it wan a buoy, and all was well.

The dif ficulty was to avoid identification. Shortly after their capture, the cav alry battalion moved off up the road towards Marie's Heights, leaving Edison.

Leaning his had upon bloan s ahnnlder. he feiened sickness and whispered in Sloan's ear to "draw," believing that Sloan had done the same as himself .retained a revolver; the intention was to shoot or over power the guard, leap into his sad dle and flee, but just then back came the battalion, and that prospect was gone, but something must be done, and that quickly. Continuing the ruse of sickness, Shadburne re quested leave to go down to the ca nal for water, but a canteen was presented him instead, and that chance of getting rid of those ob- Jjectionable letters and that tell-tale diarv was gone. Still being very sick and with his head upon Sloan's Rhnulder he suddenly fainted (7), heart sick. During the rest at the church Shadburne and Sloan, in whispers, had agreed to their story, which was subsequently repeated to the enemy. Presently the order came to mount," and we were soon off for the enemy's boats, where we shortly arrived, and were escorted to the presence of . Col. SUmner, the com manding officer, and our interroga tion commenced; Sloan first. It ran about thus : What is your name, sir." James Taylor, sir." What is your command ?" Courier at General Hampton's headquarters, sir." Who is that other man?" That is Sergeant Jones, G. D Jones, sir." "His command?" "Sergeant of couriers at General Hampton's headquarters, sir." "Does he ever go scouting?" "Yes, sir, sometimes." "With how many men ?" Sometimes 20; sometimes 40; sometimes 100, sir." "What is that I see in your bos- som l "A pistol, sir." "Why did you not surrender that and why did you keep it ?" "Because I wished to keep it; it is mine, and I thought maybe 1 mignt need it to shoot my guard, sir "The hell you say." Then the interrogation of "that other man" began. "What is your name?" "G.D.Jones." ".Your command ?" "Sergeant of couriers at General Hampton's headquarters." Do you ever go scouting, and, if -it so, witn now many men . "Yes; and with sometimes 20; sometimes 40; sometimes 100 men "Yes, I understand, that will do." And we were remanded; That Yankee guard behind whom "that other "man" rode had promised w ' m 1 1 i i a Yankee overcoat ior tnatnignt, and irreat our wonder grew, and selves, and we would be much the happier in making others happy. "Oh, friends 1 I pray to n:ght, Feep not your kisnes for my dead cold brow; .- The WHy in lonely ; let me feel them now. Think gently rf me; I am travel worn, My faltering feet are pierced with many a thorn. Forgive, oh, hearts estranged ! forgive I plead I W hen dreamless rest i mine I shall not need The tenderness for whien I lone to night." We were taken to City Point, Grant's headquarters, and placed on board the prison barge Walkil, heav ily manacled. Our berth, the lower one, faced the west, and from it was a small window, about two feet square, and from this we could see Grant's headquarters and much of escape were presented we grasped them. We were ever on the alert. Several days had passed in the ex ploit above mentioned and the great est secrecy had to be maintained; one false step and all would be lost. O ur plan of escape was soon devised Wc must have a rope to let ourselves down from the upper deck, where our cabin was situated. We must have a dark, tempestuous night and we must have a' small boat and- for all these things we devoutly prayed long and earnestly, all the time pro mising that if we did escape we would ascribe all to God, and for once let it be repeated, Shadburne has never had any doubt about his deliverence being by Divine inter vention. Day after day we main tained the most perfect composure his army. In our stateroom were even sang Confederate songs for the two of the enemy, who had the up per berth. The first day of our stay on the Walkil was harrowing indeed. When the enemy was not in our stateroom we could go there and commune, and about our first act was to kneel in prayer and ask the assistance of God. Shadburne tlen and there solemnly declared that if delivered from this prison he would ever after attribute his deliverance to Almighty God, and that promise has been most faithfully kept by him. It was not long during this first day's imprisonment before Shadburne, from his silver pen holder, had devised a key with which he could easily detach the manacles, but this was done in strictest secrecy and when the enemy were away from that stateroom. The first night of our stay on the barge, while . sitting disconsolately by the cabin fire, a swarthy, blackeyed, handsome fellow, one of the enemy, passed before us, when Shadburne called quietly to him, "Williams, come here." He came, and, Shadburne, said : do you know my name ?" Shadburne responded : A prewnring kettle of the fiirt porcelain U bel. tut if y ou have r thing but an erthen pu-kin. U will do. with care. See that the hnm in mhich you wrap him ni vly wh e4 and mendr! with the required number of buttons and. Mrlng curely ewed on. tie him in live kctv tie by a tnng cornfi crd.

Night after night until quite late they would grcup themselves around us to be thus be guiled, and all thoughts of escape was farthest from their minds, but we waited, watched and prayed, and on the 12th night our prayers were granted. That evening water was drawn from the river by a rope and bucket, and the bucket and rope were left by the water tank. We were looking on and were much pleasedr The weather was then clear, but by 10 o'clock that night the heavens were overcast and there was rumbling thunder in the dis tance, and the wind began to rise and presently the old barge was rocking visibly with the rising tide and the restless waters, and anon great drops of rain began to fall, the storm was imminent. Now all was still save the elements; the army slept so did the guard even to our two friends- in the upper , berth. Then we stole forth from our cabin for a drink of water (?) hoi regaled ourselves with that rope and not from the bucket and, telling Sloan to return to his couch, Shadburne Your I soon fastened the rope to a post near hope once more our senses knew, but we have waited these 40 years, and that Yankee and that Yankee brother, George, is one of my men." This was true, as was then discov ered. .The two brothers had become separated in their infancy one, the cabin and cautiously joined Sloan. Then finding that all was sti 1 and quiet, our preparations began. The night was pitch dark and our overcoat are still a vision of the un- George, remaining in Georgia, and manoeuvres had to be made most known; perhaps that Yankee forgot he was one of bhadburne s scouts, (?) his promise. and the other had been taken to Illi- All that night and the next day noia, and thus they were arrayed our vessel steamed on towards Fort- against each other, and in like man- ress Monroe, where we arrived the ner many a brother fought brother, succeeding night, and all night we or even father contended against son tossed upon our humble couch of hlankets on the -floor. Again and again the past and present were re viewed, and again and again we stealthily. We had retained our sad dle pockets that we had carried with in lieu of valises, and from these after stripping ourselves to our un derclothes, we took some light cloth' ing, placing the same in the bosom of our undershirts; then Shalburne let himself through the window of the state-room and after receiving the boots of each and fastening them to the end of the rope, assisted Sloan that awful war.

The next day the omcer in not do to spring overboard and swim command of the barge was changed for it: the chances were 1 to 1,000; to an Irish lieutenant, and he at once that proportion was against us; 60 had us more heavily ironed than be- ma mnor wii. evervmmic cuuica lure, auu uui u'w wt to him who waits." The second night, while we lay at Fortress Mon roe, another chaflce presented itself. Calling the guard t6 him, Shad burne asked permission to go to the toilet, which was readily granted, the guard escorting him. "When in the dark and out of hearing of the)ther chains, and within five minutes more we were on shore, and free. An rid log here projected into the river. On this we stepped, waxhed the mud from our persons as beat we could. pulled on our outer clothing, pants, jackets and boots, knelt down and profoundly returned thanka to God for our liberty. Just then the storm broke and the moon came out and. knowing the country pamably well, we struck out for other, haunts, for cold as it was, these were too hot for us. All night, that is the balance of the night, we marched and at day brea struck the main highway and just missed a battalion of the enemy. All . day we lay concealed in the woods, wet, tired and hungry. All day it rained and by night we were a sorry locking pair. Shadburne had cramps so he could scarcely walk and Sloan was not in much better condition. Slowly, carefully, stealth ily, we crawled past the enemy's picket line. It was very dark and within a short time were at the house of a poor Irishman, named Walsh, near the Black Water swamp. Here we were able to get something to eat, though it was short rations, as the enemy had stolen about all the poor fellow had. lie it said that this man was a prisoner for Rome fancied offense on that infernal Walkil, but his good wife received us kindly and gave us the best com fort within her 'power. After a brief stay, we went forth into the dismal fore-st, and the night was so dark that we frequently 'had to crawl and feel for the road... About midnight, we came to the house of the Lilly family, several brothers and sisters, good and hospitable peo ple, with whom the scout was ever at home and knocking for admission. we were soon ushered into warmth and comfort. Next morning, after partaking of a good breakfast, being once more warm and dry. we were about starting for our camp in the Black Water swamp, when one of our scouts. Rife of Mississippi, rode up and was greatly delighted to find us. Shadburne, who was much the worse for his adventure, mounted life's horse and the trio struck out for that little catnp, where after about one hour, they arrived and there was a camp meeting then and there, and Shadburne had to make a speech to his men and recount all recent adventures, whereupon every man swore he would never surrender, and they kept that oath and are still Hampton's Scoutr, and the writer is, with loyalty to the great cause.

"Guard." he drawled, "I think you'll -find that this gentleman Is traveling with a third-class ticket on him!" Investigation proved to be right, and the indignant Britisher was ejected. A spectator of the little scene asked the triumphant Ameri can how he knew about that ticket.
