the lower tIoop-the whites seldom went to
any of the outhouses-and the colonel told
him of his mishap and Of his anxiety to re-
turn to our forces. He grinned welcome,
said he would do anything for a Yankee
soldier, secretly brought him food from the
big house, as he named it, and some old
clothes to exchange for the uniform, so
that he might pass for one of the natives.
After dark he set ont again, deriving
much information from the negro, who,
like his race generally at that time, had
far more knowledge of the situation than
he was credited with. AS his leg had so
improved that he walked fairly well, he
was confident of falling in with some of
his military associates the next day. About
an hour after dawn, while he was on a
rough road, he was rejoiced to see body
of cavalry coming toward him which he
imagined to be uniformed in blue. He felt
like waving the old felt hat he had taken
in place of his fatigue cap and shouting
with Joy. But he restrained himself, and
in few minutes was panied to discover
that he had mistaken blue for gray. His
first thought was to turn aside, but his
second was to walk on, in order to divert
suspicion, having little doubt that he must
have been seen by the enemy. He would
pass, he hoped. for a rural Virginian, and
Immediately prepared story if he should
be questioned.

THE ROLL BOOK.

Point, Va, May 6, 1862, and the bullet that
killed him passed through the book, the
wound staining the pages with Baily's
blood. Baily was shot by a Confederate
scout, and the scouts companion was shot
by Baily's companion, Corporal Croker.
Singularly enough, the name of Corporal
Croker was entirely obiterated on the
roll by the rent of the bullet and the blood
stains. The accompanying illustration is
from the regimental history of the Twenty
seventh regiment.

following statement COLLECTIONS too

But what were those objections ?
If they were offered, they should APP

those proceedings do not contain a true

OUR NEXT

From the time that the name of
Judge S. D. McEnery was 6rst men
toned for the nomination as the can
didate of the Democracy for the exalt-
ed position which he has so acceptably
filled 10 the past, it was received with
enthusiasm throughout the length
md breadth of the State. From every
uarter Of the land comes glad tidings
Of the alacrity and joy with which the
suggestion OF his name is received and
of the number of leading Democrats
throughout tine State, who, regardless
Of their differences of opinion OF the
rel amendment, flock to the ban
ner of that true old Democrat and ster-
ling patriot.
McEnery Clubs and McEnery Cam
paign Committees are %springing up
every where and the McEnery Cam
paign is now being pushed forward
with such vim. energy and enthusiasm
that NO doubt now remains that s. D.
McEnery will be the next Governo.
Of Louisiana.
In this parish a large number Of
gentlemen from the various wards,
met in this town on last Saturday, and
organized a McEnery Campaign Com
.nittee, for the purpose of turtherine
and advancing the cause whica is al.
ready so popular, and with a view o
securing a solid McEnery delegation
to the next State Convention. A goot
deal of enthusiasm prevailed and th.
Committee determined to make an &C
tive Canvass, so as to bring out a full
vote at the coming primary to be helt
on Nov. 1s, 1891.
The gentlemen composing the Com
mittee are representative men and w,
feel sure that the interests OF the Nc
Emery cause could not have been re
posed in better hands.
We truss that the people will d
everything in their power to secon'
their efforts, and turn out en- masse o.
the 10Th inst. and east their ballot
for the McEnery delegation.
