escape from rebeldom. They are now in this

the extreme, they having no shelter whatever,

frtended by the negroes, who not only con.
cealed them by day and supported them with
food, but repeatedly guided them for dis tan ces
of fifteen and twenty miles by night, and not
only would accept no remuneration, but even
urged their own money upon the fugitive
officers.
These officers state that they frequently asked
the negroes what they would do In case the
Confederate authorities put arms in their
hands to light for the Confederate .cause, and
the negroes In answer intimated very signifi-
cantly that they knew who their friends were
and that the rebels would lean upon q broken
reed in counting upon their aid In sustaining q
Shareholders rebellion.
Capt Unthank brought away his company's
flag with him which he had by considerable
difficulty managed to keep concealed upon his
body throughout his Imprisonment. The flag
was presented to his company by the ladies Of
