Th(. main object of the Confederate force in investing tho place, was to gather supplies for the army of northern Virginia, - from Beaufort, Hyde and ' contiguous counties. When they had y accom plished this, they moved on to the sent of war in Virginia, leaving u small garrison o ftroopa at Trant. er's creek. While inVetting ' New Bern, the Confederates' blew up the United States gunboat J'irderwriter, in which 118 men'weiy killed. This occurred about !i o'clock one night, when I was lying within about 500 yard- of the scene of the catas trophe. 1 "B was probably nearly a month after the evneuation of Washington, OT.iru to th(. reported distress ex istent there that ii flng-of-tmee boat, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel McChcsney. com-mandii!-; the second Regiment of North ('andir.a Volunteers (Union), with several ..f bis uides. anil about : soldier-, with two howitzers, wks ordeied to Washington. Its mission was to take any citizens who wished to r linn there ;,nd to bring lvi k others who desired to get away fro:n there, .Mid also to sec if the people of W.ishington needed ajiy assistance which the federals could furnish, with the approval of the Confederate force i t Tranter's creek. Among tne citizenry on board this steamer w.-re Mr. Daniels, father of the present secretary of the navy; Mr. A. II. Rich: Howard Wiswall. Sr., with al' of whom I was personally well ac quainted, besides a number of other people not personally known to me. "The flag-of-tnu'e boat arrived in Washington .just before sundown, tied up to the dock, nnd the com n.::nd.int -.;nd leading eiti;:cns ubuard i r I', rr.-d with the officials and other. of t"U st-iting the objects ol their v-it. Kveiythiivf wc.-l .al;Ur cntly ainie;'.tic, so the boat dropped down the I'amlico river, opposite Hill's Point, and anchored for th.' night, with the understanding that we wen to come up early nest morn ing and have the final conference with otlicials and principal' citizens of the town. "We steamed up the river as .soon as the sun was up. It was a bright and beautiful morning, and hreak fast was to be served as soon as wc reached the wharf. The soldiers were jdlinsr around on the lower deck, with .uiins stacked and unloaded no one dreaming of anything but a pleasant, peaceful reception. But one ihuiL'. it is said, was forgotten in thv hurry of departure up the river from Hill's Point that morn ing. The lia.L'-of-truee, by some over sight, had not been hoisted, or, at least, was invisible. ") i the upper deck of the steamer. on i'..- si(je-nenriti'' the wnari, were Vlonci McChcsney and his aides; Mr. A. H. Rich: Howard Wiswall, Sr.. and several others, besides my sclf. We were all standing well Iwi w.ird on the right side of the boat, (the icarest to the wharf) a little to the rear of the nilot house. Mr. Daniels was in the pilot house with the ir.lot. I think, as wc left Hill's Point he went in there to get a bet ter view of the approach to the town. "All at once, when as the boat touched the wharf, before the haw sers hr.d been attached to the piles, a musketrv fire opened through I Main street and went out Market' street toward Tranter's crc.'k. , ! "The tl:ig-of-truce boat then -.tier- cd directly for New Hern, where wc arrived in dne time without delay. Captain Gray, commanding the 'Georgia Tigers' at Tranter's Creek, had been informed by a certain young lady ol the town of Washington on the night before, of our coming back the next morning. He secreted his men in the brick warehouse before dawn tho next morning and intend ed to capture the steamer and its passengers, military und civil, -without firing a shot, but one of. his troopers, becoming nervous and ex cited, prematurely-discharged, his piece, and a general fusiladu, us a matter of course, followed. It wan! u mot unfortunate event, and e- i pecially for Mr. Daniels, who was just entering ion tho prime of life a quiet. high-toned, courteous gentleman, esteemed by all who knew him. Had he been permitted to live his allotted time, he would have dt served well bth of his st ite and of the nation." OR. I to t. RGriNiGAY SpeeiHlcxt iu I iHti4 of Wo mm and Children.
