DEAR PARENTS Having few moments
of leisure, will drop you q few lines, inform

suppose you have heard that Harry Sage,
Charley Slime, and Two or three more OF the
boys, and myself, were taken prisoners We
were taken on the 4th of this month, and we're
in their hands three days and two nights when
we escaped from them. We we're out ioraging
and were only quarter Of mile from the
camp when they captured u.s. They took my
boots, hat, knife and revolver, and then they
gave me an old cap aud pair of shoes. They
marched us twelve miles, when they stopped
at house and stayed all night. The next
morning our Lieutent and Colonel came after
as, with part of our regiment, to try and re-
capture us; but this he could no do, on &c.
count of having to cross the river, although
he had a fight with them. When the fighting
commenced, they sent us away to Newport,
Tennessee. We stayed there all that day
and night, aud the next morning
one Of our coonels in command of an To-
diana regiment. came to Newport aud com.
meneed fighting the Johnnies. We were then
sent from there, and started for North Caro-
lima When within three miles Of the North
Carolina line, and as we were going up Cedar
Mountain, we broke and run. They com.
meneed firing at us, but did not hit any Of us.
We ran up the mountain and they after us.-
When we reached the top, We deployed into
the hollow, and from thence up the next noun
tain, which lies near Cedar Mountain where
we all, eight in number, secreted ourselves
in a hollow tree, and stayed there till dark,
when We came out and descended to the foot
of the mountain. Our next move was tc
swim the river, which we did twice, and then
fosnd we could not get away, We next got q
canoe, and crossed We walked all that night
over the mountain, 1t was very cold anC
