The old works are now overgrown with hic-

sprung up from the seeds S OF f. the e fruit consumed
very much washed, are still plainly visible.
The Notifications built by the Rebels in 1862,
extensive scale, and would have held quite a
large army. AS we walked up the hill The Gene.
we had reached the higR point upon which had
stood the Union Flagstaff. and which overlooks
all the field, he said, "We are now upon thespot
where am represented to have assumed the
role of q ferocious butcher, and murdered in
cold blood whole garrison Of Union troops,
Ha,peT's Weekiu." Climbing upon the grass
grown ridge that was once breastwork. we sat
down alone, to write description of the
upon the movements OF his troops. While
wrote could not but glance occasionally at
him and think, this is he who is called the
"hero of the Fort Pillow massacre" now look
ing over the scene of his bloody work; but even
in his dark est moods could not associate him
in my mind with any of the horrid butchers of
humanity that history describes to us.
The Genel al related how the fort was cap.
for the massacre. There we're with me many
citizens who had been wronged. and. think,
without waiting for the surrender OF the men
who had wronged them and their families they
shot the m down. When found out that they
were doing this understand this was during the
twenty minutes of the engagement, and not
after the capture), ordered 1t stopped, aud was
compelled 10 shoot one Of my own men who did
not obey me promptly. The whole force in the
garrison numbered in all 557 troops, white and
colored, when the fight began After the fight
we sent 20 men who were wounded on The
gunboats, and then sent to Demopolis, Mis-
sissippi, for exchange. seven officers and 2l9
men, making 292 men in all, who survived
the capture. But in addition to this, forty fou r
or forty. five negroes were taken by my young
men and returned to their masters. making a
to- al Of 100 negroes who were left, or a total of
$40 of all the troops surviving The total num-
her of colored troops in the garrison at first was
262. Some of these, as well as some of the
whites, escaped from the works, and into the
woods, and across Coal Creek, No man was
killed after the capture by my order; and any
killing that was done was without my know
ledge" This is the story of the capture of Fort
Pillow. as told me by the principal actor upon
the battle field itself On the way down he said
he could not understand why the fight there
had been called a massacre; that its result was
only natural in war, and he thought the public
should SO regard IL.
