characteristic of the Jersey breed.

several things which have proved extremely
beneficial. No man knew better what was
necessary to the comfort aud well being of the
line, and no one exerted himself more seriously
toward correcting abuses where any existed.
Under bis administration many forts were
built and others improved; our frontier line
was re-established, and several Indian bands
taught to respect authority, the hold over them
having become somewhat weakened during the
course of the civil war. Whatever he did was
the result of wise forethoaght and carefully
prepared Judgment.
Gen. Schofeld was born in New York, sent
to the West Point Military Academy from Iii
nois whence he graduated in 1853. As n cadet
he was studiOus and exemplary in his conduct,
giving promise of future usefulness in his pro-
fession. He won the good will Of all with whom
lie was thrown in contact and stood well. The
training he received was of great use to him,
and enabled him to cope with the many ques-
tions he was called upon to decide when he
entered upon a more extended sphere of action.
He was thoroughly honest and conscientious, as
became true soldier and leader of men.
After serving as Secretary of War he was
placed in command of the Military Division of
the Pacific, with his headquarters at San Fran
cisco, and after the death of Gen. Hancock was
transferred to the Division of the Atlantic
with his headquarters at Governors Island, in
New York Harbor.
In the meantime he visited Europe where his
observations were of great use to him, as he
took notes of what hesaw in the great military
establishments and marked the improvements
made in tactics and the manufacture of arms
and equipments Whatever tended to enlarge
| his professional knowledge received his careful
attention and earnest thought Nothing escaped
his notice. and he returned to his native coun-
try greatly improved by the knowledge he had
gained in foreign travel.
Upon the death of Gen. Sheridan the Pres-
dent appointed Gen. Schofcld General-in in
Chief, and as has been shown he is emneutly
| qualified for the place and will bear favorable
| comparison with anyone who has ever filed that
high position.
His unwearied diligence will be of the ut
most benefit to him IN his new position, and
his qualifications are such as will reflect credit

company. Everything seemed to be ready and
favorable, and just as the relief guard reached
the small gate the leader of the plot-a small
man-shouted out so that he was distinctly
heard for quite a distances Now, men,
who is for liberty?" and in less time
than it can be told the guns of the guards
changed hands, and the flash and report from
one in the hands of prisoner caused the guard
Immediately in his front and on the fence to
drop, whether shot or not / do not know.
Everything was excitement; the small gate
was too narrow to try to effect deliverance,
being only wide enough for one man at
time to pass through. So a general rush was
made on the big gate, where the dead-wagons
came in and out. 1t so happened that the first
and second divisions were drawing and divid-
ing their ratOns of rice SOUP and in the rush
on the big gate we had to go right through their
grounds. They were situated directly behind
the big building, and in the rear of them,
and directly in the corner of the fence, was
the gate. AS soon as the rush struck the
divisions they overturned their barrels of soup
and upset everything in their eagerness to get
possession of the gate, which was the key to the
plot; at once in possession of that, the prison
doors would have been opened; but the first and
second divisions, who knew nothing of the plan,
thought there was a raid made on them to
capture their rations, and they became mixed
up in a fighting and struggling mass, one side
fighting for their ratiOns and the other trying
to reach the gate. This delay gave the rebels
time to place a line of guards directly over the
gate, and although we got close up to it and in
considerable numbers, the commanding position
of the guards made us fall back, and thus the
plan was frustrated. The excitement was
indescribable Prisoners were rushing about
in all directions. The guards, whose heads
were always to be seen as they steadily paced
their beats overlooking the prison, had dis
appeared from above the fence perhaps in
fear of the guns that were captured by the
prisoners. The two pieces of artillery which
were placed so as to sweep the Enclosure seemed
to be abandoned, and it was evident that the
outbreak had thrown the rebel camp on the
outside into fear and confusion. While all
this was going on there was great excitement
on the outside, and the news had by this time
reached the veteran regiment that was at the
depot, who on the double-quick soon reached
| the prison; and although there was no further
effort on the part of the prisoners these vet
Grams, with the guards and many citizens,
mounted the guard-walk and commenced to
pour a murderous and indiscriminate fire
among the unarmed prisoners, killing and
wounding them by the score. By this time
the two pieces of cannon opened on us, one of
which was loaded with boiler puncheons, and

which did fearful execution, tearing the few
tents Immediately in its front into ribbons,
while many unfortunate prisoners went down
before the fearful hurricane of ragged iron mis-
sles. The other cannon, which was planted
on the opposite corner, also opened on the in
closure, but on account of it being elevated too
much the shell that it contained struck and de-
molished the small belfry on the roof of the
large building. This firing from the fence by
the guards and citizens was kept up until every
one who could was under cover. the buildings,
drain-ditches and holes being literally packed
with prisoners, who almost smothered them
selves in some Of the holes so dense were they
packed. After everything had quieted down
and the rebels saw that they had the prisoners
the prison in search Of the captured guns, but
so far as | know they were unsuccessful ia their
search, the guns having mysteriously disap-
peared Some said they were thrown down the
wells, while others declared they were hid be-
meath the ground in the tunnels; which must
hayc been the case as they could not be found.
This ended rebel guard duty inside the prison,
they deeming it too risky for safety. How
many prisoners were killed I never knew, but
heard it placed as high as go, while the
wounded numbered many more, many Of whom
afterWard died for want Of proper attention.
This attempted outbreak, according TO my rec
election, was on or about Christmas Day, 1864
and although it failed, for the reasons given, il
certainly is worthy of record as one of those
desperate and hazardous undertakings that
could only be conceived and carried out by the
bravest men. No troops on any field ever faced
more certain death or took more desperate
chances, and / only regret that / am unable tC

risked their lives to liberate their miserable
comrades from that prison-pen Of lingering star

prison, after capturing guns and guards on the
outside and in the camp near by. This was
planned by as brave men as ever faced sure
death. Their plans miscarried on account of
an unfortunate accident. There had been sta
toned at Salisbury doing guard duty a full
veteran regiment, and il was understood that
they were ordered up to Richmond; and so
they were, and they had only left TO guard the
prison some Senior aud Junior Reserve troops,
which were composed Of old men and young
boys, too old and too young for field service
The veteran regiment had struck tents and
marched down 20 the depot, which was close by,
and if the train had been on time would have
been on their way TO Richmond. but the train
was late, and the prisoners IN the plot, think
ing that they had gone, made preparation to
carry into execution their plan aud attempt to
regain their liberty.

courageous actions that ever was attempted by
