several comrades, succeeded in escaping by
tunncling. Our tools were old pieces of iron
and case-kniYes. The tunnel was $50 feet long
and below the surface about eight feet, and
was so contracted that we were obliged to crawl
through it, After obtaining our freedom we
separated, Thomas e. Hayter and myself trav-
cling east, while the others went in a westerly
direction. We moved by night, and laid by in
daytime in the most secluded places we could
find. We lived of of an occasional corn pone

we took from cribs along the road. / was twice

After being free for % days we were finally
recaptured at Blackwatcr River, Va, and re-

rest of the time on picket-boat duty, we were
aboard at the point in Apalache channel marked
and were watching the long lines Of musketry
flashes at the dotted line on the south slope of
the hill, advancing at intervals, till the firing
suddenly ceased. Soon afterward three bon
fires were seen higher up the hill, forming
triangle Mr.. Gill then said to us, "The fort
is ours, boysi" and looking at his watch, said
at is o'clock Sunday a. M, April 8, 1865.
Shortly after this three rockets from about
where the water battery was located were seen
sailing out toward the channel to Mobile, when
three flashes, as of gunpowder, burst out in quick
succession from near Gen. Canby's headquar
tiers. Steamers had been seen all the first part
of the night by our picket boats plying between
the fort and Mobile. bnt whether reinforcing or
evacuating we could not tell. From Comrade
Gurney's wad it would seem that the
tivity of the rebs on the southern slope was to
keep our forces busy while the rest got away
and 80 the right Of our line had waikover,
and, tramping around to the east and south,
walked in upon the tail-end of the rebel rear
guard that, being too late for the last boat, gave
up to the 95th H.. which suppose was with
the rest of those on the extreme left who had
been enjoying themselves with fireworks all
night on the southern slope. Comrade Quincy
has my credence for his report of what he saw
and did. but when he says q the fort was taken
without Gen. Canbys orders, and when be was
asleep, ne Will nave 10 Ldik W INC LndEiuBS,
for we blue-jackets couldn't believe him; and
as regards the inference that Forts Tracy and
Huger-or, as we termed them, Batteries Tracy

army, ran them out Of these places on the night

while conveying the army transports over to
the western shore, firing the last shell Of the

Smithlaud. XIV.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Many Of the
comrades of the Armies Of the Cumberland aud
Tennessee remember the little town of Smith
land situated at the junction of the Cumber-
land and Ohio Rivers. The place at an early
period of the war was considered of sufficient
strategic Importance 90 warrant the erection of
two forts on the hills in the rear of the town.
On one of these was mounted 64-pounder,
which commanded the Ohio River for long
distance up aud down; the other was defended
by 32-pounders. These forts were garrisoned
by different regiments and detachments of
troops during nearly the entire period of the
war. The old forts still remain in pretty
good state of preservation, and we often think
these old landmarks should be better taken
care Of for they will be interesting relics in the
future. Here, too, in the town was hospital,
and many comrades will remember the hours
Of tedium and pain passed within those walls;
while on the green hillside above the town
sleeps in an unknown grave many boy who
wore the blue, and some perchance who wore
the gray.
Many comrades will recoIlect, too, the picket
post at the big rock out on the Paducah road
and family named Thompson who lived about
mile farther out the same road. This family
were stanch friends of the Union cause during
all those troublous times, and gave aid and
comfort to many sick and wounded boy who
wore the blue If Comrade Wash Glass of the
after his terrible injury at the battle of Fort
| DOnelson, he was uursed and taken care of
during those weary weeks of suffering by the
members of this family. The little woman who
helped to nurse him back to life is still living
| the father and mother have long since passed
away. Comrade Ingalls, of an Indiana regiment,
may remember too how, while at the Gonzales
cent Hospital and suffering from fierce attack
of home sickness, he was taken to the country
and cheered to new life by those same friends.
| If these comrades are yet living, and others
who remember the days of long ago, the writer
will be glad TO hear from them either by letter
or through THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE.
In conclusion allow me to wish continued and
increasing success to that friend Of the soldier,

and took part in, and after looking at the plan
no one could expect those stationed atthe mouth
of the creek or bayou at the northwest would
be able TO tell what took place on the dotted
line on the south slope of the high bill upon
which the fort was located Comrade Quincy,
of the 124th H. on March 81 marched around
the hill after the Sth Ill., clear around to the
northwest, and after 8 p. m. of April 8, at low
tide ian almanac for 1865 confirms his time for
starting). followed the shore and entered the
works without seeing a rebel. Comrade Clan
vile, 10th Mimi, if remember rightly, speaks
of hearing the heavy tramp of men coming
along the works from the right of their line
while they were having it out with the rebs,
and some of the boys shouting, g You'd better
come in out of the cold. Johnny; them's our
boys!" and that many did come in, saying
" Don't shoot, Yank; we're coming!" He
thought the fort was taken in the early "twi-
light" If he had said in the early dawn it
would have accorded very nearly to what l
saw, and also to what would very likely be the
time occupied by troops marching and natur-
ally feeling their way around the extensive
works on the hill.
