previous trip to take three horses through the
lines aud now there was at least a dozen per-
sons who wished 10 take horses through with

they could be easily purchased in any of the
upper Counties for one-fourth of their value
and when taken to Knoxville they could be
sold to the Federal Government for their full
value. Ny own expenses were pretty consider
able, for the rebels kept my family destitute of
both food and clothing, and great many OF
the men who were now engaging me to conduct
them through the lines were not able to feed
themselves during the trip, much less to pay
me anything for nay services. Neither did
