sense Of comradeship, and the interest in
telling our stories, and cheering each
other-al1 these contributed TO make us
bear up courageously.
During the day G.. D. Wilson, Dorsey,
Bunum, Benstnger, Porter and Hawkins
came In. They told an interesting series
or adventures After capture they were
taken to Ringgold, and the same evening
TO Marietta, where they had been placed
In prison but little inferior IN every vile
element to our present abode. They were
guarded by heavy force of cadets from
the military school at Marietta, and mar
rowly escaped mob. They finally heard
clanking of chains, and were called out
and chained by the necks In couples, and
also handcuffed. Then they were taken
north over the line OF our fiery chase, and
stopped at Dalton. While waiting here,
some OF the ladies came with their SER
wants and brought them O really first
class supper. This was one OF the few
pleasant incidents in this part of our his
tory. Dorsey complains that he and his
companions were not accustomed to eat
with irons on, and that they were not
very graceful The ladies probably ex-
cused them, for two of their number drew
neal and talked with them, weeping
freely. One lady gave Dorsey a rose,
which he preserved as long as he could.
There was q mob outside threatening to
attack them, and seemingly the mob en-
ragged by the presence Of the ladies. But
the guards withstood braVely, and they
reached ChAttanooga IN safety, where
they were taken 70 g hotel to await
orders, and the landlord at his own cost
gave them good breakfast. Then they
were brought to us In the Swims jail. On
the way through the crowded street, with
their chains, loud voiced man called out,

been free he might soon have learned.

Ansther Blizzard.

LAMPAssAs, Texas, Jan. 23.-Anoth-
er blizzard struck this section Saturday
night. Reports of the disastrous eff
fects of that unprecedented cold spell
of last week continue to arrive from
distant sections surrounding this city.
The loss of sheep was very heavy, ow-
ing TO the fact that very few ranches
are provided with adequate shelter for
sheep. 1t is estimated that fully 20,
600 sheep persisted in the counties Of
Lampasses. Brown, Hamilton, Coryell
and San Saba, all large wool produc-
ing counties. Col. Charles Covington
in Coryell county lost 800 head of sheep
in one flock. His ranch is very large
and the sheep are kept in separate
flocks. Others sought shelter Of the
woods but this particular flock came up
near the house at sun down and lay
down in the drilling rain. The next
morning Col. Covington concluded to
salt his flock. When he scattered salt
on the frozen earth, to his surprise none
of the sheep arose and an examination
revealed that every one of the large
flock was frozen stiff. Their wool
chung to the ice and prevented their
rising when the sudden change Of tenn
perature came.

to do by fear Of discovery. We were not
to say anything about Campbell being only
citizen; and were to refuse under all cir
cumstances to tell who our engineer was.
Admitting that We were under the or
ders of Andrews would not in the least
embarrass him, for this much could be
proved from what he was actually seen to
do on the train, and he had already de-
clared as much when captured. But we
never revealed anything that would throw
light on his employment as spy in our
service. The story which we thus planned
to tell was so closely adhered TO that the
enemy never learned that we were volun-
teers and intelligent participants in the
enterprise.
None Of us knew just the line of de-
tense taken by Andrews, or upon what he
based the hopes he did, certainly, to some
extent, entertain; but the following is the
most probable:
He was known to the southerners as a
blockade runner. This trade, If he could
only persuade the Federals to permit it,
was Of great advantage to the Confeder-
ates. he might afford to do a good deal
for the Federals, and tho balance Of adj
vantage be stin on the Confederate side.
Now he claimed that he was offered by
Gen. Mitchell, who greatly wanted an en-
gine, the privilege OF trading south to the
extent Of $1,000 per month as long as the
war lasted, ON the simple condition that
he would seize an engine and carry it
through, he CSditcheD supplying the men
Tor the enterprise. Andrews did diSclaiE1
to the enemy that he intended to burn any
bridges, or do any harm beyond the COM
paratively trihing one Of carrying of this
engine.
The defense was but feeble, though it
was possibly as good as could be made
under the circumstances. But the enemy
had notion TINT q Eaf1arol
Mitchell would send his men away down
to the heart of Georgia for an engine,
when, as experience showed, he had been
able to get them by the score in Kentucky
and Alabama.
No decision had been publicly rendered,
when suddenly twelve OF Us were ordered
to Knoxville, Tenn. Our parting with
Andrews was sad and solemn, for we had
little hope of meeting again, and our
worst torebodings were realized. Before
this we had been removed to Madison,
Ga, under fear Of an advance by Gen.
Mitchell; and when we returned the great
indulgence Of a short daily airing in the
Jail yard was given. On a warm after
noon, when the remaining nine were in
the yard, an unknown officer entered the
gate and went quickly up to Andrews;
without a word he handed him a paper
contained in large envelope, and turning
away walked rapidly out of the yard.
Andrews broke the seal and glanced at it,
turning pale as marble. 1t was his death
warrant All who saw him felt that some
tidings OF evil had arrived, and the officer
OF the guard spoke very gently as he told
them that it was now time to retire to
their room. When there, Andrews gave
his comrades the paper and they read the
fearful intelligence. In one week-July

them and ran around the lower end Of
the island, wadtng in the shallow water
TO throw the hounds on the track; then
he plunged into q dense thicket with
which the island was covered, and again
assembled q tree. For a long time he
found secure concealment here, his foes
being frequently under the very tree.
They finally concluded that he must have
got back over the strip of water to the
mainland, and slowly returned to seek
him there. Two little boys who had only
followed for curiosity were all that lin
gered behind.
One OF the boys happened to look up,
and said to the other that he saw a great
bunch on a tree. The second looked to
see what it was-shifted his position
looked again and exclaimed that it was q
man! They cried out in alarm, and thus
announced their discovery to their friends
on shore. The latter instantly returned,
and Andrews, seeing himself discovered
the story is almost too pitiful to be told
dropped from the tree, ran to the lower
end of the island, seized small, dead log,
and with limb for a paddle pushed into
the stream, hoping to reach the opposite
shore before he could be overtaken. So
far as the island pursuers were concerned
he might have succeeded; but there was
another party with skiff lower down the
stream, who showed out to meet him. The
helpless man could do no more, and was
taken.
The struggle had been one Of almost
hopeless agony. He had eaten nothing
since Sunday afternoon, and itsVVas now 2
O'Clock on Tuesday. His back was bis
tered by exposure, unprotected, to the
sun, and his feet were covered with bleed
ing gashes. He said that he felt so
wretched and miserable that the thought
OF certain death, to which he then re-
signed himself, had no further terror.
Wolam'S attempt to escape was for
time more fortunate and skillful than that
of Andrews. He broke through the
guards and ran the gauntlet of hasty shots
without injury. Soon he reached the
river bank and not wishing to attempt
the passage in the growing light, hit upon
the happy expedient Of making the enemy
believe that he was across. To this end
he threw of his coat and vest, dropping
them on the river bank and then waded Q
little way in the water to throw the
hounds off the scent; then quietly slipping
back, hid himself in dense thicket of
canes and rushes. He soon heard the
hounds and men who were pursuing on
the bank above and all about him. He
could hear the words they uttered, they
were so close. At length tlaey found the
clothing and concluded that he had taken
to the river. They crossed over and
searched with their hounds along the
waters edge on the other side for the place
he had come out. AS might be expected
the dogs failed to find the exit, and after
due consultation they concluded that he
was drowned, which being a satisfactory
termination, they returned.

STIRRING uDT The Negroes

CHARLESTON, s. c., Jan. 25.-The
colored people here are much stirred up
over the reports of the formation of an
Exodus association in Topeka, Kansas,
for the colonization OF negroes in South
America. Fuel has been added to the
flame by an article published in the
News and Courier yesterday, warning
the negroes that there is danger of their
being sold into slavery if they go TO
South America. The article says:
''Slaves sell in the market in Brazil
for about $500. It is estimated that
hundreds of thousands of
colored people will join the
Exodus, and that the Exodus
association represents a capital of
81, 900, 900. If three hundred thousand
colored people join the exodus, and if
these Immigrants are sold at an aver
age price of $500 head, the Exodus
association would make $50 900, 600, on
its original investment" a good many
negroes here read the newspapers and
this article has created sensation.
It is rumored that agents of the alleged
association are already here and are in
consultation with some of the colored
preachers.
