DEAR SIR: Yours of recent date received and read
win great pleasure. Your first letter was quite q
surprise TO our little village, and greatly comment
ca on. We are sorry To hear of your bad luck, for
southern people have great deal of that kind.
Onr property most all consisted in siAves and
when we lost them had To start from the
ground, and owing to bad health aud misfortune
we have scarcely got above the surface. Some
Tune ago my husband had stroke Of paralysis;
lac has partially recovered. and hope hen never
nave another. We have always thought his health
was impaired by lying in prison so long, the
climate at Point Lookout wns so much colder than
ours. L have tried TO see bTr. Bast and find out
some more particulars about who those men were
nut nave failed. He Is getting to be old man.
anu hon't come to town often If | find out the
name OF the Provost Marshal I'll write you There
are only Que or two men living here now that did
not go TO the war and it seems that no one can
member who he was; but 25 years il long time,
anu can't remember who he was. Speaking
ABOUT the negroes they not special fayortss Of
nine, Tor lhey are not growing any better time
goes on.
One Of the ladies that came to see you was a
hiTs. Lindsey, great talker, aud very indignant
toward the Federal soldiers but my father gave
her TO understand before she went up to see you
that she must not say anything that would wound
yonr feelings. for he would not allow It, Although
strong SOutherner he was much Of a gentleman.
The other lady was Miss PIunket. She is mar
rted and lives in Concord. Mrs Lindsey died in
kentucky. We have often wondered what became
OF HAIL and Davis, and we are glad TO know that
Ihey are living and doing well.
Respectfully, Mrs. SAM MARR.

PRISONERS FROM RICHMOND.

ThonsthS deserters were in a minority, and
became as sociable as one could ask.
lt soon became known that they were de-
serters, and they learned that those they kicked
and cutfed around had not forgotten the treat
ment received at their hands. AS they mixed
in with the prisoners someone was sure TO rec
ognize and point them out to some fellow who
was equal to the occasion, who, without cere-
mony, would walk up aud knock him down,
then call out Deserter." The cry would be-
caught up by Others and the deserter would be
forced to run the gantlet, getting blow from
anyone who felt disposed to give il. IL only
took two or three days of this kind of work
to convince them that they had better keep in
their quarters. The authorities threatened To
turn their artillery upon the prisoners if they
persisted in humping the deserters, but that
had little effect upon US, and they were removed
to other quarters in a few days.
