EVACUATION OF DAY POINT.
The rest Of the story is briefly told
Late Thursday night the garrison Of Fort
Walker had collected at the landing, in
the hope Of being able to reach Buffton
by water. Luckily, several small Confed.
crate steamers were within hail. Blu,

re,reating troops imagined the little s,es.

that the troops were body Of disembar.
ked Yankees. Acting upon this double
de.usion, a deal OF mutual accommodating
was made, and it WAS only after a vast
variety OF strategic approaches, that they
reached the conclusion that it WAS "sll
right" A quick trip to Button followed.
Thence the troops msrched 10 ii Hsrdeeville

they dragged their exhausted frames WAS

upwards of thirty-ive years, and that he tried IN
vain every remedy prescribed within the whole

length tried the medicine which Is now offered 10

after Z Is recovery had been pronounced not only
improbable, but absolutely impossible by any hu-
