We take the following, which is the 9th
chapter, from series of articles in the Bur-
lington Free Press, by Capt Drew-ED. I
Oar journey to Columbia was the pleas
anlest ore we had had in any part of the
South. The sound OF Yankee gus and The
movement of Northern armies were ere
aing something like respect for the Union
soldiers. A. we left the city, we could see
Thousands of negroes at work on the fortif-
cations, and we met large bodies of troops
that had jast cone from Manassas.
The niger is certainly great insti-
tuition. AT The South they can send into
the field all the able bodied men and hoys,
and feel sure that the negroes viii til the
sol and raise their food. Then. too, in the
army they have their teams drive by ne
groes, their horses cared for by n groes,
their cooks are negroes, their servants ne
groes, their drummeis, fifers and pioneers
are generally colored men. guides, scouts,
spies, foragers, blacksmiths, coopers, thinkers.
carpenters. tailors, saddlers, harness-makers,
braziers, gunsmiths, boatmen, pontoonmen,
engineers, brakemen, conductors, worknen,
and so in many other crafts, are negroes.
To give you something Of an idea of the
service the rebels get from their negroes,
will give the statistics got from Col. R.
of Charleston, S. c.
His regiment consisted of ten companies,
and at that time was 500 strong. Here
COPY from my journal:
Col r told me of The 500 men, he had
nearly 400 who were wealthy planters. hav-
ing from % to 200 slaves. From his con-
was able 10 make out the follow
ing list:
Company A. SO whites. 90 blacks. Av-
erage in every company, so whites, and 20
blacks.
Company A,-blscks-3 cooks, 8 walters,
3 mechanics, laborers, 8 wood-choppers, |
8 guides and musicians.

| Al precisely lO O'Clock. the condemned
were rarshaled in procession and headed
by Capt. Redfeld, marched out into the
street, and directly across through files Of
soldiers to the scaffold, which had been
erected in front. They went eagerly and
cheerfully, even crowdina and jostling each
other to be ahead, just like lot of hungry
boarders rushing to dinner in hotel. The
soldiers who were on guard stacked arms
and followed them, and they in turn were
followed by The clergy, reporters, &c !.
AS they commenced the ascent Of the
scaffold the death song was again started,
and when they had all got up, the noise
they made was truly hideous. It seemed
as if pandemonium had broken loose. 1t
had wonderful effect in keeping up their
courage. One young fellow who had been
gwen cigar by one of the reporters, just
before marching from their quarters was
smoking it on the stand, putting away very
coolly during the intervals of the hdeous
Hi-yi-yi,' and even after the cap was drawn
over his face he managed to get it up over
his mouth and smoke. Another was smok-
ing his pipe. The moose having been prompt
y adjusted over the necks of each. all as
ready for the fatal signal. The scene a,
this Juncture was one of awful interest. A
painful and breathless suspense held the
vast crowd which had assembled frem all
quarters 10 witness the execution. Three
slow, measured and distinct beats on the
drum, and the rope was cut--lhe scaffold
fell and thirty-seven lifeless bodies were left
dangling between heaven and earth. One
of the ropes was broken, and the body of
Rafting Runner fell to the ground. The
neck had probably been broken, as but lit
tie signs of life were observed, but he was
imm diately hung up again.
AS the platform fell, there was one not
loud but prolonged cheer from the soldiery
and citizens, and then all were quiet and
eaiHcst WITNESSES VI inc scene. or so
many, there was but little suffering; the
necks of all or nearly all, were evidently
dislocated by the fall and the struggle was
slight.
The bodies We're cut down, placed in four
army Wagons, and taken to the grave pre-
pared for them among the willows on the
sand bar nearly in front of the town. They
were all deposited in one grave, thirty feet
in length by twelve in width. and four feet
deep, being laid on the bottom il two rows,
with their fee' together and their heads to
the outside. They We're simply covered
with their blankets and the earth thro wn
over them.
