Rebellion War Record.

My clothes had become worthless
and nearly useless, and | was COM
PEELED to resort to some method to
reclothe myself or go naked. | man
aged, after the fashion then common,
to come into possession of some
coarse meal or grain bags, and set
about making me a suit of clothes.
L happened to have needles, managed
to get thread of sutler, and borrow
ed shears, so that | had the tools to
do the work with. My shirt set quite
well and answered the purpose admir-
ably, but when | came to pant-mak-
ing 1 did not have quite SO good sue
cess. My companions laughed at
me, and twitted me of robbing some
clothes line where the woman had
hung out her "trowsers'' to dry. But
my pants did me quite good service,
after all.
We happened to have in our num-
bers some very good musicians, and
we got up a company, bought violins,
a bass viol, and found a flute in the
company. Our instruments cost
about 5000 in confederate money.
We had Professor Rockwell as flutist,
and he was first-class; we had two
others who played the viol splendid
ly, and our band would have been
hard to beat anywhere. Weused to
sweep q level piece of ground and
have dances rather grotesque fan
dangoes-and we managed to get
lots of fun out of it. We had it in
mind that there might have been a
somewhat livelier interest in the
dance if we had been provided with
female partners; but we were sub
ject to deprivations during prison
life.
Capt. Adams and myself took in
three other officers to our mess, and
it fell to my lot to purchase provi-
sions and do the most of the cooking.
We had some money, and ,on account
of the character and smallness of our
rations, purchased such things as we
most needed of the sutler when he
could supply US. The rations fur
nished consisted of sorghum and a
very coarse Indian meal that seemed
to have been ground corn, cob and
husk all together, some rice, some
beans and a very small quantity of
salt. If we had any meat we bought
it of the sutler. Some time before
Christmas our mess concluded to pre-
pare Christmas dinner. We got a
chance to buy two turkeys for S75,
and took them home and ''crammed''
them with some of our corn meal
the turkeys seemed to stand the meal
until Christmas, but they did not
seem fat and we fed them till New
Years, when our big dinner came off.
We had costly dinner-in Confed-
crate money: :$75 for turkeys, S8
for sweet potatoes, S12 for pork, with
minor expenses. We had a good
Dutch oven in which to do our bak-
ing, and | really succeeded in cook
ing our pork, potatoes, ETC., in good
style. We asked in all the Vermont
Cavalry boys to dinner, and found
we had many 'baskets of fragments"
left, which other friends were invited
to help make way with.
[ was getting recruited up again so
that | began to feel like attempting
another escape. The prospect did
not look encouraging. We had no
near access to the guards as they
were outside the stockade on plank
platform. 1t seemed useless to at
tempt tunneling, as some one was
sure to betray us if we made an at
tempt in this direction. We were
looking, however, for some way to
open up by which we could escape or

Disseminated against in the south on
