to go with him and represent ourselves
as Federals. Several spoke and SAID we
might be entrapped. But the plan was
agreed by the captain. Lieut.. Fooshe,
Lieut.. Brown and myself were detailed
to go with the ola man. We exchanged
hats with the men, who had captured
from the Federals the noted high
crown and yellow cord; some with
black plumes. Off we marched on
were inspected and sharp lookout kept
on him. Now, reader, comes the excit.
Ing part OF this story. We were virtu-
ally in the hands of this noted spy. An
ambuscade might be waiting us. But
my confidence in him was mistaken.
On we went, for near mile, in the di-
rection of Bear creek, when tho old
man suggested We were near enough
aud he would give the signal. The Wild
grass and bushes was above our heads;
not 70 feet could be seen. The long,
keen whistle was given; instantly 1t was
answered. My heart seemed In my
mouth; probably we would soon be
prisoners. Coming through the bushes
seemed hundred men. Lieut. Brown
said make ready, and don't forget the
old man. The six negroes rushed upon
us with joyful excitement; did not wait
to see who Ve were, but believed we
were Federals. Ono old man clasped
me In his arms, exclaiming, "thank God,
we are delivered from bondage, ana
commenced a general Jubilee" / told
him no time for that, but to hurry up
the hill, that the rebs weren't mile OF.
1t was difficult 10 keep up with them,
though loaded with their worldly goods
in sacks. The command was soon
reached, still they did not observe the
gray nor their master, but commenced
big June meeting, to the amusement
OF the boys in gray. 1t was sad to me,
knowing their Joy would soon be
changed to sorrow. Mount your horses,
was the order. will NOT attempt de.
scription of the scene when Mr.. Furgu-
son was observed by the slaves. He
spoke kindly TO them, and was sur
prised that they did not let him
Hnow when they left home, that the
privilege had been extended to them to
go sto the Yankees when they chose.
Now he would turn them over TO Capt.
HIPS company rs servants until the
war was over, which was done. Three
of them were faithful TO the surrender.
Now comes the sad part of this Incl
dent. We marched tina. night 20 miles
south, where forage and provisions
awaited us. IL was my painful duty to
escort the old man to headquarters at
Tupeo, with sealed charges. Two weeks
later Lteutenants Foosbee, Brown and
myself were notified to appear as wit.

old man. was not called to give evi.
