THE HOSPITAL RATION.

The rations consisted of about aeven
ounces of wheat bread, from four to six
ounces of meat, about three times each
week, and rice soup daily. A few sweet
potatoes were issued in lieu of beef. In
the space of two months I had purchased
from our own hospital fund sixteen BUSH
els Of potatoes at a cost of 1896 rebel cur
rency, but these did not go very far, as we
had six hundred patients.

OUTSIDE THE HOSPITALS.

The hospitals we're always crowded to
their utmost capacity, and their remained
as many sick outside. These were in the
tents, in the various holes in the ground,
and under the various buildings. AT the
Surgeons call, which usually took place
every day, from nine to twelve hundred
applied for medicines. Many we're carried
there by their comrades, but such was the
crowded condition of the hospitals that
many we're refused sdmittsnce. Of these
some died before being taken back to their
tents. The Surgeons visited the patients
in the hospitals daily, and some of them
we're very kind but so limited was their
stock of medicines, and so misersbly situa-
ted we're the men that medical aid did but
little good. Those sick in the tents were
administered to by one of my journalistic
friends and myself-snd so numerous were
those csses that neither of US had any rest
from our lsbOrs until late at night

HE UNION PEOPLE OF NORTH CAROLINA
AND THEIR PRIVATIoNs.

We were rested and duty prompted US
to move on. After receiving the aGod
bless you" of these good people, our march
was continued, passing the County of
Wilkes, which, from the large number of
Union men in it, is called the "Old United
States" We entered Wautauga county.
Here we met strange and very unhappy
condition of society. Tho Union men have,
from the prosecutions of the rebels, been
robbed of nearly all they have. The fam
lilies Of some live in huts, hastily and rude
u constructed, their houses having been
burned by therebels. The men remain in
the woods, always bearing their trusty lilies,
determined to die rather than fight in such
an unholy cause. They await snxiously
the success of the Union srms, and are
ready to assist in the contest whenever op-
portunity offers. Their privations are
great-many not having slept in their
houses for two years. The women perfcrm
all the outdoor labor, and thereby furnish
food for the whole family. These men ara
numerous and their kindness to US can
never be forgotten. They showed US paths
over the mountains and went with us to
flank the guards. The snow on the noun
tains wss deep and rendered it very unsafe
for US to travel. Our tracks could easily
be seen, snd had the rebels ventured So far
from the road as to get on our trail, our re-
capture would have been certain; but a
kind Providence guided and protected us.
Through the counties of Johnston and
Garter the Unionists are numerous, as we
travelled through three townships or dis
tricts in which not one secession vote was
cast at their election.

THE ESCAPE.

Sunday evening, December 18th, was
one Of those dark, rainy and dissgreeable
evenings, that people at home enjoy by
sitting around cheerful fire, and it re-
quired some nerve to leave our prison
quarters, miserable as they were. We
started, and we're very successful in max
ing our exit, but how changed did we feel
when once outside its prison wslls,-every
noise aroused us, and we were constantly
on the glIi viUe for fear of detection and re-
capture.
Our first night and day was spent in a
barn not far from that town, and here we
remained twenty-four hours without any
water to drink. After dark we emerged
from our hiding place, and at an appoint
ed place met q brother "hero" connected
with the prison, who gave us some vslus-
BILE directions. Our first tramp then COM
menced, amp after travelling until we were
about tired out, and suppOsing it long
distance, we came to road which we had
been told was one and q half miles from
our starting point. We were now satisfied
that our travelling could not be very fast,
and governed ourselves accordingly. The
grsy of dawn found US about seven miles
on our journey. Having no friends in that
section, we went to the woods to remain
during the day. The manner in which
we skulked along fences, under bushes and
through the woods to avoid being seen
that morning while hunting a secluded
spot, was ludicrous indeed. We remained
quietly in a thicket of pines all day, with
out any fire.

THE NEGRO OUR FIRE By NIGHT AND CLOUD
BY DAY.

Having tasted forty-eight hours, it be-
came necessary to make our first efforts to
procure something to eat. The white peo-
pie were our enemies and the negro had
rot been tried; but the experiences of
others, and the craving of our appetites,
gave US courage, aud we made the effort.
1t was successtuli the negro without ask
ing any questions Immediately brought q
large loaf of corn bread, which we soon
ate. At his request we waited until more
could be baked and meat cooked, and we
were bountifully fed. The negro then
guided us to the main road, distance of
two miles, and gave us directions where to
stop the next morning. During this night
the rain fell in torrents, and with the cold
We were in q pitiGble condition. At break

Our waggish friends of the Richmond

Our waggish friends of the Richmond
Bulletin have been selling the Philadel-
phia press most hugely. Asensational ac-
count, with flaming head, appeared in
the Bulletin, giving very graphic and
horrifying description of the finding of a
body in a cask, in an advanced state Of
decomposition, which had attracted at
tention by the smell. An investigation
was at once had, and it was fully proven
that the cask had been shipped from
Philadelphia, and the body was that OF
Mr.. Linn C. Doyle, of that city. 1t has
been noticed that Nnseed oil is rather
scarce in the city of Brotherly Love.
The New York Mercury recently pub
lished our account of the murder OF one
Ocean Tortoise, by David, the turtle soup
caterer, to prove the prevalence Of crime
in Norfolk. That was a cool murder,
and we had the pleasure of dining of
the soup made from the body.

William Taylor, Esq, one of the two
prominent candidates for Mayor in
Richmond, is out In card explaining
his position. 1t having been alleged by
his opponents that he had never done
anything fort the Confederate cause, some
of his friends authorized publication
to the effect that he had sent four of his
sons to fight for the Confederacy, ana
had contributed literally in aid of the
cause and for the support of the families
of soldiers. To this Mr.. Taylor replies
that he never believed in secession--was
always Union man, and that his sons
were conscripted into the army of the
Confederacy, anddid not go of their own
accord. In relieving the families of SOL
diers he was only prompted by those
feelings of humanity which he consider
ed it proper to exercise wherever and
whenever he thought proper. II am,
and ever have been, Union man, and
it is simply as such that I desire to pre-
sent myselfas candidate for the suffrages
of my fellow-citizens. On this ground
alone l wish to stand before them" II
he is elected with that card against him,
we will have some hopes for Richmond.

Trophies Of the War.

A Fortress Monroe letter to the Phila-
delphia Inquirer says:
There have been received here during
the past two weeks one hundred and
eighty iron guns, late the property of the
Rebels. and mounted on the approaches
of Petersburg and Richmond. These
guns are all of large calibre, ranging
from seven to ten inch. The ten-lnch
guns were taken from Fort Daring:
They are of Rebel manufacture, and
nearly new, having been cast In 1854
They are said, by competent judges, to
be excellent specimens of serviceable
ordinance. They bear strong resem-
blance to the Armstrong gun, being rein
forced at the breech by concentric bands.
Ali were cast at Richmond. Nearly
every one of them is effectually spiked.
These GUNS were never finished at the
foundries where they were cast, and they
hear the roughness peculiar to castings
when first taken from the in which
they were moulded.
There have also been received eighty
Ave brass guns. These are of every con-
ceiyable shape and pattern, many OF
them being of United States manufac-
ture. and lost in battle. But now "the
king hath got his own again." Then
there are rude and cumbersome brass
inieces of Southern make; quaint old
French guns, which were stored away
in Government arsenals before the war
and dragged forth to do service by the
hard-pressed Rebels. All these guns are
now huddled together in the gun-yard
of Fortress Monroe. What disposition
| is to be made of this captured ordinance
has not yet been made known to thu
gun-yard people.
There have also been sent down i'm
mense piles of ammunition; explosive
projectiles of every pattern and shape
rudely boxed, and marked Confederate
| States of America, Richmond Elaborate
nv, stand about in vast piles, and as on
| pazes upon them, and the numerou
guns of brass and iron field and siege
! the conviction grows that it certainl,
was not scarcity of the munitions o
war that compelled the surrender of Lee
All these guns and munitions are store'
away from profane eyes in the3reat gul
ward, where guns and ammunition
whether our own, or rare trophies, ar
ably cared for by the grey-haired oil
ordnance Sergeant, James WEIGH. III
grim and deathly guns are cared for ten
derby as helpless children by the Ser
geant. He pats his favorite guns a
would fond father his particular brigh
precocious boy.
The bright '"Napoleons," bearing tn
letters U. S., recaptured from the rebel
at Five Forks, are the objects OF Sergean
Welch's most tender solicitude. The,
are his returned prodigals; they wer
lost and are found again. They glitte
like gold in the sunshine. The fatte'
calf has been furnished them in the shap
of vigorous applications of emory pape
