This was the beginning of our retreat! from Petersburg. The sun was slowly coming up when I fired that fatal shot which either killed or wounded the Yankee. Our retreat began very shortly after that. Our ! division, which was Heath's, was sKecl mar wno naa captured pursued closely by the advance ofus. where he had captured those the enemy as we continued the j prisoners. He replied, "while he enemy march up the Appomattox River. McRae's Brigade formed in line of battle at Southerland, about 14 miles from Petersburg, as rear guard to our division. It was almost high no jn on that clear Sunday morning when the Yankees came in sight and formed in lme of battle, fixed bayo nets and charged our line. It was a most magnificent sight, and a per fect day. Their gurn looked like silver in the dazzling brilliancy of the noon-day sun. On they came in perfect order at a double quick. Hut, oh, my! how we covered the ground with dead Yankees! They melted like snow before the sum mer's sun. Over half were shot down before they fell back. A few came in prisoners. A double line was then formed, and another charge was made about half past two o'clock, which proved even more fatal than the first, or at least we killed more. They then changed their tactics and came upon our left Hank where they could enfilade our line. This caused it to give way. and, in the confusion. General Mc Rae ordered me to form a skirmish line, and in carrying out thes? or ders, I with a few of my men were cut off by the enemy. I then took two of my men, marched through the woods to the river, which was rising. At this point there was a bend, and the water being over the banks formed an island at the pomt where the turn was made. We quickly crossed to the island where the undergrowth was very thicc. We then spread our blankets for the night, although we had had nothing to eat since the time the shooting began all along the line the evening before Our division had been under fire all night. Our retreat began early Sunday morning. We had marched all day with nothing to eat. thoroughly tired out, and our slum- OF CIVIL WAR. 41th NORTH CAROLINA REGIMENT. bers that Sunday night were quite '. refreshing. At the break of day we arose, ith ery careful to keep concealed in the most obscure part of that thicket, not caring to be picked ofi by the enemy, or taken prisoners. This was one lonesome day. With nothing to satisfy hunger and nowhere to go, we crouched down like opossums in preference to capture. A3 soon us the shades of night be gan to fall we crept cut from our concealment, wdded the little run which separated the mainland from the island, and started up the river to join our command We had not ! n,n.A.uln,l upon a regiment encamped for the night. The bivoUac fires were burn ing brightly on every side, and after holding consultation, we decided to change our course and go around those we had seen. Wfe had not gonfe vry far before we realized that we had run right into the ene my, for far ahead of us we could see the second regiment camping for u; on itu eiues anu we were repeat-' edly running into camps of the ene- i my; out at last we iouna ourseives in the public road, where we soon coming, and by the j v Uf ,l , light of the moon we managed to tee the outline of a tnr.n driving six ;, i r , , ' . inuiea. i proposeu 10 my men mat we stop the d iver, take a mule each and we could soon overtake our regiment, but this they would not consent to do, thinking that if we Were caught we would ail be killed. Soon we were forced to abandon the road, as there were too many wagons goins: back for rauon3. We got! back co the river just before day, and were in hopes of getting to cur regiment; a3 the way seemed all clear. We had succeeded in getting away from the tramp of the Yankees, as we thought, but about mid-day we heard the quick repoi t oi a gun in iront oi us near i river. I saw the smoke, then I heard the command, "Halt!" given. We marched to the public road where the cavalry was passing, and there we heard that General Lee had been i cut off from Danville by Shearidan's cavalry, who had dispatched General Mead to bring up h?3 infantry and the war would soon be over. The colonel of the passing cavalry Jll.v ail v was guarding a private house," add ing that we were guerillas, and that a d d guerilla had slipped up and shot him in the leg. The colonel said, "D m them, hang them to the first limb." By that time I began to grow weak, yes, and scared, too; but speaking up I said, "Colonel, we are not guerillas; here is my muster roll, this will prove who we are. Neither I nor my men shot that man, and if you will look at his pants you will find one leg off. If you will ex amine his pistol you wiil find one of its chambers empty. He shot himself and I saw him cut the leg Oi his pants off. Thi3 lie did to gain a furlough, and it was not done by my men. Their guns are now still load ed, so is my pistol." The colonel then turned upen him and said, "Hanging is too good for you." The soldiers were so excited they were about to kill the fellow. We were then sent to General Mead's headquarters. A3 we ar rived he had just gotten a di&patch by a courier from General Grant, ordering him to have the soldiers throw away all surplus baggage, such as blankets, overcoats and the like, and these he would have them paid for, and to join him as soon as possible; that if he had infantry there the war would soon be over. It was then three, p. m., when General Mead's army was started on a forced march, which was kept up all night. Wednesday morning the army was almost wild with ex citement. After a short stop for breakfast, the line of march was resumed. The soldiers threw down their blanket3 and overcoats, and the road for ten miles was strewn with all sorts of baggage, thrown away by orders of General Grant. Up to this time I had not had a mouthful of anything to eat, and only one night's sleep, and that was ' the night I spent on the river. The! forced march wr. continued until 12 o'clock Thursday'night, when we ar rived at Amelia Court-house. Up to this time no rations since Satur- I day before the fiht began had been j furnished us. Ihe Yankees were on short rations. ; They were ahead of their commlsiary train, which was expected to overtake the army each day. When we arrivid at the Yarkee lines at Amelia Ourt-house Thurs day night about 15 o'clock, I was so near broken do-.va and so hungry I could not sleep. Friday mornirg we were promised rations, but there was little to be had, only a little beef that had been killed on the nureh. It was too poor for anything, and not a particle of greasfe to Cook it with. The cook ing we did over ai old fence rail fire, with no salt, no biead, in fact, noth ing but poor fresh beef, only partly cooked by the rail fire. Twelve o'clock Friday orders were issued to give eath prisoners three ears of corn and srt them back to retsrsburg, witi instructions to get rations a3 soon as we met the commissary train, which we were expecting to meet every minule. Night came on and no train had been Seen. The msrek was continued until after midnirh!, and we had nothirg to eat except the corn. Our only hope was that we would : t v. our route back was by another road, and we met no train until Sunday night near Peters burg. Men were constantly drop ping out ail alor.r the road, com- plecely fagged out. I saw one man mJ 3S . u r i m. t having rained. There were ubcut 350 prisoners returning from Amelia Court-house to Fetersburg, and four or five old horses, ro poor they could hardly walk. Colonel Ed. Cantwell claimed one, which he road until he arrived at the city limits of Peters burg; he then gave me his horse to ride. The guard would not allow me to ride in the mkfdle of the street but forced me to ride on the side waik, in line with the other prison ers. I have never seen Such a hard looking set of men as were the pris oners who marched into Petersburg i from Amelia Court-house where Gen eral Lee surrendered. The guard compelled us to keep our old broken down horses in line For ho other tea son than to humiliate us. We sup posed they would drop them at Pe tersburg, but not so. They were carried to City Puint, where we; found a large steamer ready to carry us to Washington, D. C. While in Petersburg no prisoner was allowed to. leave the lines. A friend of mine living there, asked if I could be allowed to go with him for only a few minutes. "No !" wa3 the reply. He then took my haver sack and filled it with snaps, cheese and crackers. Fron that time until I reached the steamer at City Point I ate every step of the way, fifteen miles. 1 was almost starved and very weak from not having had any rest. I had marched three nights without sleep, had but one square meal in nine days; I had marched about 80 milesi and with a most in describable yearning in my stomach. When I got aboard of that steamer I felt just like "the day of jubilee had surely come." We arrived at Washington City about one o'clock on the day of President Lincoln assassination. For some cause the trisoners were held on Pennsylvania Avenue about three hours. Wc hari just heard the news of Lee's surrender, and there was a report that Congress, then in session, was discussing th advisabil ity of parolling the prisioners, and sending them home. That night we all were quat tared in the old Capitol, and were in high hopes, thinking of getting our parole and papers home by next morning; bat at roll-call we were informed of the assassination of the President. I replied, "I am glad of it." The Sergeant said: "you had better mind how you talk; were it known you had made such a remark you would be strung up to the first lamp post." I did not be lieve the report was true but thought it merely a test to see how the pris oners would act if such a catastrophe had happened. Bat it was soon found to be true. Thousands of yards of crepe were strung on the pillars of the capital. We were soon informed that it took two regiments of Infantry and one of Cavalry to protect the prisoners from the in furiated mob during the night, when the facts of the assassination were know throughout the city. The prisoners were in great anxiety for the next few days, not knowing what the rsults might be to them It was officers were an 4 o Lie sent to Johnson s Island, us at that v Only one ration was giver, the stait, with a promise e would be furnished with more in Baltimore, but when we got there, they found the excite ment so great that the prisoners were marched through the city un der a double guard in the middle of the street, and as fast as possible, to take train for Harrisburg, Pa. We were again told that we would be provided with rations at this point; but the excitement ran high there, so nothing was furnished us. The public openly declared that hanging was too good for the Rebel "S BV This feeling was manifested at each and eveiy station from Washington j City to Johnson's Island, except Bal timore where w found much sym pathy shown. Rations were once more promised us at Pittsburg, Pa., but when we arrived there only the guards were provided for, the pris oners got nothing. At Mansfield Ohio, I found some boys telling maple sugar and as prisoners were not allowed on the platform of the cars nor allowed to raise a window, I requested one of the guards to buy me some of the sugar; but told 3i!m I had only Confederate money to pay for it with. "How much do you wish?" he asked. I told him five dollars worth, which took all the boy had. I vas rather slow in giving him the pay, as I wished to hand him the money just as the train was starting off, for I knew the boy would make a how! when he saw the kind of money he was to get for his pay. He did yell for a fact. He called for me to give him back his sugar, and sad he did not want that "Old Blue Money," but this was all I had, and all he got. The sugar was fine, and it came in good time to be appreciated. We had been on the road from Washing ton three days, and hot h ration had been issued by the Government. The distance to Johnson's Island was about 1,000 miles. The number t-f prisioners was bont 1.700. We were in prison from Aprii until JiliiC 18G5. Johnson's Island is situated in Lake Erie. It was at this point that the officers we're in prison. The stockade enclosing the prisoners had a wall around it twelve feet high. There were four block houses, one in each corner with a small cannon on each, side to guard against revolt. In this enclosure there were 13 build ings to accommodate about 2,500 of ficers. About 192 men to each build ing. The buildings were pretty well packed. The allowance of rations was about one fourth of that of the regulation allowance per day, except vinegar, which wa3 given us in fuli quanti y to sharpen our appetites. Wharf rats infested this prison in such large numbers, that the prison ers would catch them and use them for food. After soaking them in salt a few hours, they were fine and palatable. Barbecued rats become very popular, and were often given as a delicacy for the sick. One rat being an allowance, when more than one was called for, the sick was de clared convalescent, and was put on a diet of bread coosh for a few days. This dish was known only to the pris oners of Johnson's Island, and differ ed from Washington pie in. one re spect only Washington pic was bak ed while coosh was not. The most improved way of cooking a rat, was to fasten bin tail to a small wire suspended over the fire, giving him a whirl, then applying the bast ing, which was a mixture of salt, pepper, vinegar, and melted tallow. This we would mop over the rat to prevent its burning while cooking. Rat pie was at first a very popular dish with the men, until some of them ate to much and were made sick. This almost broke up the eat ing of rat pie. Some who had been too ravenous were never able to en joy the rat after this. At one time we were eating so many that we were frightened, lest the race would be come exterminated, and so we had to abolish the diet and stop the sale of rats. At this time I invented a trap and thought I would soon be able to corner the market on rats; but my invention proved a failure and I never succeeded in catching a single one. They would go in the trap all right and eat the bait, but would never touch the trigger. Af ter eatinjr all the bait they would come out licking their mouths. There were all kinds of trading going on among the prisoners. Those who made rings had me to let them have the handle of my pocket-knife, which was of the most beautiful pearl; this they replaced with beef bone. I was paid for the pearl with rings cut out of guttapercha, set with pearl, also chains cut from the on account of the tragedy, finally decided tht the same material finished off with pearl st'tting. They were valuable and one couid Luy ftve time as manvrats with a perarl f et chain as they could witii a nice chain. The Daughters of the Confederacy of Wilmington have the knife of which I speik, in the museum at this present time. During our entire imprisonment, rations were always scarce ar.d or ders ex!c?dingly strict. At night taps, the putting out of lights, had to be observed to the minute, or the guard would shoot through the block where the light was seen. This was done repeatedly, and prisoners were often wounded by the guards for not observing this regulation promptly enough. Rumors were constantly going the rounds while we were in prison. Once a report was circulated that the government did not intend to furnish transportation for the pris oicrs to go home on; this caused much uneasiness. 1 wrote to my brother Alexander for money to pay my way home, and he sent me $100 which, reached the Island the day be fore our discharge was granted. I had received $20.00 some time previ ous to thh from a lady in Peters burg; but as prisoner. were not al lowed any money, this wa taken from me and was given to an ot!i er of the Government, who would cred it the amount to each party re-j ceiving money and he Could give them an order on this officer for such as he wished to buy, which would be charged up to him. AH cur mail was examined before given to u? and should there hnppen to be any money in the letter, it was plac ed to our credit, and we could u.o it by drawing only a limited amount each day. One letter I received, the Inspector reported on the back, "you will find $20.00 and a kk?," but I on ly found the $20.00, no ki?s. I ac cepted the money but was sorry I failed to get the kiss.

A state of quiet and tranquility, whether it be in the heart of the In'Ib vidu'al or ? the great heart of the nation, is a thing to be desired. And a family of people who live together in peace and quiet is the ideal fami ly.
