the Captain returned from the scout, and re-
ported that the rebels had escaped. He had
learned from a citizen that Morgan was one
of the party, and suspected Hines OF being
an escaped prisoner. He charged him with
being a Confede crate officer, and questioned
him very closely. In order to gain Hines

him very kindly, and asked him to go to a

but considering the confid ence and kindness
of the officer he concluded to wait until he
got out Of his hands. Hines remained in
camp under guard during the night OF the
Nth, and the next morning was sent to
Kingston with an escort of ten men, whers
he was placed in Jail, and kept for five days
without fire. and almost without food. Here
he found three of his comrades who had
been captured on the other side of the river.
Ga the 2ith, he and his three companions,
William and Robert Church, and Smith, OF
the 81 Kentucky Cavalry, were sent to tn
camp Of the Sd Yankee Kentucky Infantry,
opposite Loudon, on the Tennessee River,
nineteen miles from Kingston. The pris-
oners were confined in a small house in the
center of the camp, the timber being cut
down in every direction for half mile, and
there being but one path leading to the
guarded. That night it was bright moon
light, but the moon went down just before
daylight.
Hines and his companions, by agreement
under pretense of being very cold, dressed
themselves at the time, and sat down with
the guards round the fire. At a given sig
nal his comrades rose and stood round the
fire, while Hines, keeping one of the guards
busily engaged talking, quietly approached
the d DOR unobserved, raising the latch; CIV

Then, turning suddenly, he threw the door
wide open, and said, with composure, ten
tlemen, we have remained here long enough
it is time we were going. The guards were
struck dumb with surprise and thought 1t a
Joke. But before they could recover their
senses, Hines flew past the guards in fron'
of the house, and ran like deer for the
woods. He heard a struggle for a momeat
near the house, and then velley of MIME
balls whizzed by him. His three comrades
must have been caught. The enemy pur-
sued him to the wood and up the mountain
for hree-quarters of mile, when they lost
his track. Hines travelled six miles across
the mountains that morning, and lay con-
cealed during the day. At night he APP
preached house in a valley, and finding
the occu pant a Unionist, he passed himself
off as a Yankee Government agent. In con-
versng about the rebels, the Uuionist said
there were a few still lurking about, but as
the river was well guarded, there were but
few places they could cross at, and mention

he said rebel lived who kept a canoe
Hines made an excuse to go on that night,
and proceeded to the ferry indicated, where
he found the canoe and crossed the river
He soon found many friends on the south
side of the river to aid him. and travelling al
together by night till out af danger, he f.

the whole distance from Loudon.
