An Incident of The War.

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
At the outbreak of the rebellion the writer
lived IN Massac one of the Ohio River coun
ties Of Illinois, III the Congressional district
represented by John A. Logan, and being an
Abolitionist was not in political accord with
its representative, and, / might say, with nine
tenths OF the people among whom l had the
honor to reside. At that very critical juncture
in 1861 when the Southern members were
Withdrawing from Congress, State after State,
and Haunting theiE defiance in the faces OF the
members Of the loyal North, Logan. in one of his
fiery moods-which We're more frequent then
than now-informed his Southern colleagues
that, should they resort toanns, the cavalry of
the Northwest would hew their way from the
Ohio to the Gulf" This had the rightring, and
completely won an admiration for Logan from
the writer which has not varied from that time
to this.
The above is the key to my story.
Ia May, 1868, while laying at Baton Rouge re-
operating from cur exhausting ride through
the Confederaey preparatory TO participation
In the siege of Port Hudson, n seven days leave
of absence WAS granted Colonel Grierson, Major
Starr, Adjutant Woodward, and myself of the
9th and Colonel Prince and Adiujant Root, Of
the 9TH Illinois cavalry, to visit New Orleans.
Strangely enough, while in the Crescent City,
Logan's threat, above related occurred 10 the
writer, and on l0okingOyer the regiments COM
posing the Army of the Gull, it was found that
eur little group OF Ilinosians was the sigst cav
airy that had wormed their way Oh horseback
from the Chic. a plan was at once formed to
more fully make the prediction true. Adjutant
Root was invited to take ride with Oh the IA
NOUS shell-Toad TO Lake Ponehertrain, Ian arm
Of The gulf proper,-en arriving at which Root
was requested to hold the lines. The writer
made his way 70 the briny water, and, tapping
it from the hand. informed his companion of
the object of our drive, and told-with an ex-
elamation that was pardenably impohte-that
L0gsn's prediction was nov true beyond per-
adventure. Our command returned to Tennes-
see and again to the gulf at Mobile And l still
believe the incident above related to have been
the first instance of Northwestern cavalry
man reaching the gulf. T. G.,
Captain, Co. i, 9th III. Cav.

little while and I would not 20. We told
them we would be there for supper, as we had
had dinner.
Jim and I disagreed about it. He was in
favor of going, but L told him | did not like
the looks of that man, and the smallest boy
said his father said he wstlld not hurt u.s. he
would only take us back. jim said: What
does that little boy know He sat there
about an hour without speaking. 1t began
raining furiously, WHEN there was rap at the
door. | said Come in. Two young darkies
opened the door and came in took their hats
off and held them under their arms, and asked
us if we were the Yankees that Massa ''-
told them about. I said we were. One said
he was to take the shoemaker up to " Massa :
-----'s to work at shoenaking. Then jim
lifted UP his head and said What about
me-" They said Massa would lie here for
him. 1t seemed very strange to us.
called them over to the fire and asked them
If they knew what the Yankees were.
One said: 20, yes
Then l asked What kind OF man is
Aassa' , and what is he after ~
The youngest one then said. Massa, will
tell you all about it. That man is riding
around all morning trying to get
SOMEBODY TO HELP ARREST YOU,
but, you see, it is Christmas, and nearly all the
men are gone to the city {Alhany), and he is
afraid to do it alone; so | suppose he wants to
get you apart, then he would arrest you"
jim then opened his eyes and said: " Is it
possible / was fooled so in that man?D
then asked him if we could get away from
there without him or any one seeing us. He
promised to take us out. We We're afraid he
would betray us, but we resolved to risk it.
We started OFF, the rain coming down fariousiy
till the next morning. He took us through
the woods to where he lived, about four miles
off. There he gave us our supper. We left
him about IL o'clock at night.
So ended eur Christmas but our worse time
was to come The crossing Of the Withlacoo-
chez, near Isabella, ard the Alapaha (which
was over a third Of a mile wide) near Twins
vile; cur reeapture by four men and three
dogs: our journey back TO Irwinsyille; our
separation: the trip by myself to Albany on
foot, guarded by two horsemen, and then to
Andersonyille, and my second escape, would be
interesting but Istarted out merely to relate
how spent Christmas. | think / had better
come to a stop and net encroach too much on

positive that they must have been turned in
