CHAPTER XVIII.

INTERVIEW WITH SECRETARY OF WAR
STANTON n PRESIDENT LINCOLN.
When we reached Washington a day
was fixed for an interview with Secretary
Stanton. Ohio State Agent Wetmore and
Maj. Gen. Hitchcock accompanied us. Gems.
Sigel and Stahl, with many oaier distin-
guished persons, were IN the ante.room
waiting, but as we were there by appoint
ment, they continued to wait, while we
were at once admitted. Stanton had long
resided In my county town Of Steuben-
vile. and I had seen him, and knew hin,
we'll by reputation, though l could then
claim no personal acquaintance. We
we're seated, after he had shaken each Ct
% warmly BY the hand aud uttered
words Of greeting and compliment. Wc
talked for a considerable time, not SO
much on the subject Of our expedition
for I took it for granted that, lawyer like,
ho had looked over tho evidence in tie
case and made up his mind about it-as
upon general topics, such US our impress
sions Of the south and the Union men in
it, and Of u hope and feeling about Tie
war. was especially struck by his ask
Ing us how we had liked Gen. Mitchell as
. commander; and when we spoke Of linn
with unstinted enthusiasm he seemed
greatly pleased, and said: ''That's tie
way all his men talk about him" lie
told US that he had been aware Of our ex-
petition at the time, but had no accurate
information Of the fate Of the party. His
impression was that all had persisted at
first. On the escape of the eight in Octo-
Confederate government about us, hut

Devils Lake inter-ocean. (Devils Lake, Ramsey Co., Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1905, 1888-01-07

Of our going back to Richmond. I re-
member somewhat dimly the picture pre-
scented Immediately at the wharf under
tho sunshine Of that March dayi OF more
distant objects I have no recollection
whatever. In fact, I was dazed almost
equally by the brightness Of open daylight
and by the happy coming Of this long *
pected day. I could not, however, help
being struck by tho contrast between the
sets of prisoners. Those on the Confed-
erate sldo looked strong and hearty; thcir
clothing was whole, neat and clean; but
on our side all the number werc in tho
last extremity of raggedness, dirt and
cancellation. I have totally forgotten
whether any breakfast was given us that
morning or not-a matter of small mo-
ment when we had been obliged to starve
through so many longer Journeys.
While the wrangling over details was
still going on, without, as far as we could
see, any prospect Of termination, tho order
was suddenly given us to "Go on board"
Most promptly it was obeyed. 1t meant a
great deal for us to be actually under the
Stars and Stripes once more. But not till
the boat cast loose and swung into the
stream did we count ourselves truly out
OF Confederate hands.
Aueu, toO, Cue nearly welcome WIN
which VIC were greeted; tho good cheer, So
different from our miserable prison fare;
and tho kind faces smiling all around,
showed in living colors that We were free
men again.
In regard to food, tho great difficulty
now was n we had not encountered for .
year past-that Of over eating! A year's
famine had made US terribly hungry, aud
We received cautions on this point which
were not unneedful. Nothing In tho
rations were more enjoyed than the tin
cup Of good coffee which was given to us
all-gcnuiue coffee was something which
we bod not tasted inside the rebel lines-
and I am not certain that I have found
any as good since! No place on tho bout
seemed more homelike than the engine
room, where l sat and ate slowly for q
long time. The working of the strong
machinery which seemed impelling US
lovingly homtward wa shout as much
company as ! wanted for the time.
Down the river we went In Q delirious
dream Of rapturel We were scarcely
conscious of passing events. Probably
no emotion on earth has greater sweep and
intensity than the wild throbbing sen
sations that rush thick and fast through
the bosom of the liberated captive.

enough TO ma our nlDcKamn2 meet. III
their emotions On once more beholdiug the
old flag it is usaless to speak; all who were
prisoners during tho war Will understand
it, md no others can! They reached Key
West Nov. II, and were the first Of the
party to aend home q full account OF their
adventures. which Is still ON file in the
war department.
"A few wosIS will finish the story OF the
ak Of US who were 20 unfortunate as to
be recaptursd. Weexpected nothing less
than instant death; but instead Of that
were taken toathe Atlanta barracks,
then under charge of m officer who had
been IN tbs regular United States army,

were often very great. Food was but
little above the starvation point. No
clothes were given us By the Confederacy,
and We wese, almost naked. Many,died
around us1 and in tho very rooms with
Us, Of smallpox and other deadly diseases,
but u lives were strangely preserved,
though several Of our number were very
L .clss We never were called on to face
another court martial There was much
talk Of exchange, but our hopes in that
direction were 70 often disappointed that
We almost ceased to hope.
At length, on the 18th Of March, 1863,
We received tho joyful tidings that q spe-
cial political exchange had been CON
cluded, which, by the insistance of Score
tary Stanton, had been made to include
US. No words can describe our Joy when
we at last found that it was actually true,
and that u year Of horror was over and
we once more under the old flag.

REPORTING 70 SECRETARY STANTON AND
PRESIDENT LINCOLN,

REPORTING TO SECRETARY STANTON AND
PRESIDENT LINCOLN.
/ have forgotten almost everything that
took place on this homeward voyage. II,
indeed, my mind was not too nearly In the
condition OF 3 waking dream to receive
definite Impressions. 1 saw some Of tho
great gunboats Is we drew Eear the
mouth Of James river, which looked like
grim sentinels guarding the Avenue to re-
bellion. We were furnished comfortable
blankets, and when tired out, a. much by
unwonted emotions as by physical effort,
we could Lie down and slumber at our
will
We arrived In Washington late in the
a~fternoon-I know not of what day, but
presume 1t was the day. after lowing
Richmond, which would be Thursday,
March 10. made no memoranda at this
time, such as l had not failed to keep dur
ing the darkest parts Of our history. In
my " experience Joy was more over
powering than sorrow.
After supper we took our proposed
walk, But once outside In tho dark
street, with no place to so, no money to
buy anything aud nobody to care for us,
it began to seem rather lonely. We had
been objects Of 80 much solicitude for so
long that we could scarcely help feeling q
little neglected now that nobody prevent
ed us from wandering in any direction we
chose. Beside, We were not yet provided
with new clothing. A regular rcquisition
would have to be filled before our vents
In that direction could DO supplied; and
the DIR was chilly. After wandering aim
lessly for a few squares, looking in at the
shop windows and staring at the great
buildings, we turned and were soon back
IL the barracks. The room, which was
well warmed, seemed very coy. 1t was
easy to consider the ~sentincls at the door
as placed there to guard us from m enc
my, a view Of the cas- which greatly
pleased the Tcnnesseeans. I really think
we slept better than VI would have done
II at a first class hotel
The next day, Al l had expected, all re-
strictions were removed from the other
members Of the party; but we were in
vited to make our home at the barracks,
receiving regular soldiers ~rations, as long
"a convenient.
We did not remain long. A wealthy
and patriotic lady, Mrs. Fales, had fitted
up q pavilion in her yard In excellent
styls and kept it filed with convalescents
from army hospitals, to whom she gave
the attendance and most Of the comforts
OF home life. Hearing our story, she ap.
piled to the Ohio state agent, MI. J. c..
Wetmorc, to secure us a. lolgers. He
sIs!ted Us and carried the invitation,
which VIC gratefully accepted. Here we
lived in fine style, with all @ soldiers
comforts, and excellent company. We
had now received a suit Of army blue and
made q bonfire Of our Confederate rags;
so that vs Hsra Q littls les afraid Ct lady
