being now abreast of the Cape and clear of the
shoals. He said he should keep the course
south during the night.
told him that as the coast from the Cape
trended well to the southwest, and the Gulf
stream setting about east-nOrtheast at the
rate of three and one-half knots an hour,
/ thought it advisable to haul in for the
land but he thought differently, and said he
should keep the course south. The result
was, as the stream runs close In to the
shoals off the Cape, we ran into it and across,
and during the night the wind came on to
blow from the southeast, causing an ugly
cross sea, which boarded us from all direc-
tons, keeping the deck at times completely
under water.
Now, on board other sea-going vessels the
watch is on deck, but to be on deck aboard
the Nahant that night and the next day was
impossible. But as there was nothing to
do on deck, the matches, ventilators and
portfolios of the turret all secured, the people
who could not find room on the turret stayed
below. To stay below at that time would
be comfortable enough, so far as rolling and
tumbling in sea was concerned, for an
easier vessel in heavy sea would be hard
to find but with the heat in the eDgine-roOm
100 degrees and in other parts of the vessel
in proportion, the only ventilation being
through the turret by means of steam
blowers circulating the air through the ship,
it was anything but pleasant. At times
through the night there would be two and
three men brought up from the fire-room at
a time Frustrated with the heat.
After getting back across the Gulf stream
better weather prevailed, and without seri-
Gus accident we arrived safely at Port Royal.

STORIES OF NELSON.
A COmrade Relates Some that Came Unde
His Own Observation.

Comrade Relates Some that Came Under
His Own Observation.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In recent
Issue / saw an article defending Gen. Nelson.
l had hoped that comrades would let that
subject rest. but as they do not do so l feel
iIapelled to add a few lines.
/ first met Gen. Nelson at Nashville, in
March, 1862. Soon after the battle of Fort
DonelsOn we had gone into camp just sou h
of the city. The brigade guard-house was
located on the turnpike Just in front of our
regiment
One day Seison and his staff came along.
The sentinel gave the word, Turn out the
guard, which meant that some General was
at hand. Out came the msa. guns in hand.
and formed In line
Now, one of the guard was smoking a
cigar. Nelson rode up. and seeing the man
smoking, ordered the officer in command to
buck and gag him, which was done, and the
man lay there for hours with a bayonet
crosswise in his mouth for the awful crime
of smoking in ranks, thing done by the
officers every day throughout the war.
Again, while at this same camp, an old
schoolmate of Nelson's, Sergeant in some
regiment called one day and requested to
see the General. He was shown into Mel
pearance.
Good morning" SAID the Sergeant.
GOOD morning, sir" replied the General.
"What do you want sir?"
"Why," stammered the Sergeant;
thought ! would call and see you, as had
not seen you for a long time"
80 you are a soldier?"
"Yes, sir; D
Do you know the proper attitude OF a
soldier?"
al think so, sir" meekIy returned the
Sergeant
Attention roared the General; "about-
face; to your quarters-march! and the
old friend and sch0olmate was given new
lesson in military movements.
Another incident took place while at this
camp. A man belonging to Gen. Nelson's
Division was court-martialed and shot. On
the day OF execution the troops of Nelson's
command and some others were drawptup
IN three sides of hollow square; the Ken
lucky troops first, as the General declared
to teach those fellows what he would do
for them if they dsobeyed him. The
man who was shot belonged to Kentucky
regiment. thus making the men of MS own
State suffer disgrace tor no cause whatever.
AS to Nelson's soldiership, ! was Oh every
field where he fought, except Richmond,
KY, and while he was perhaps brave enough,
he certainly did not do any brilliant thing
that / now remember. While at Shiloh |
was on guard one night at our hospital, with
orders to stand with loaded gun, and to
shoot anything crossing my beat. Sometime
in the night company Of cavalry undertook
to cross my beat. / halted them and asked
the usual questions and their reply was,
" Gen. Nelson" | stated my orders; at this
Nelson opened his battery. and such pro-
family one seldom hears. l.. DE MUM

The Narrative Of a CoIored Citizen of New
York State, Who Was Kidnapped, and for
Years Held a Slave.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: have an
old book entitled Twelve Years a Slave, %
narrative Of Solomon NOrthup, q colOred
citizen of New York, who was kidnapped in
Washington, ID. c., In 1S41, and was rescued
in 1883 from a cotton plantation on Bayou
Boeuf pronounced Byo Bef La
Soon after the war / met a number of re-
turned soldiers who were with Banks on his
Red River expedition, who told me of hav-
ing read the book at the time it was pub
lIshed lin 1884, and who had visited the
plantation of Edwin Epps where Northup,
or PIatt, as he was known as slave passed
years of his life. They told of seeing and
talking with his former slave comrades
whose names were Uncle Abram, Wiley
Aunt Phoebe, Patsy, Bob, Henry, and Ed
ward.
A man by the name of Bass, one Of the
characters in the book, the one who, by the
way, was instrumental in Northup's obtain
ing his freedom, in talking with Epps
uttered prophecy which was fulfilled
sooner than anyone at that time realized il
would be.
Bass was q carpenter, who was ut work on
Epps's new house, and as "Plattn was handy
with tools he was taken from the field and
put to work on the house. One day friendly
conversation took place between Epps and
Bass on the right of one mans holding
another in bondage. In answer to remark
made by Epps, to the effect that niggern
was no more than bright baboon, Bass said:
" If they are balloons, or stand no higher
in the scale of intelligence than such ami
mails, you and men like you will have to
answer for it. There is a sin, a fearful sin,
resting on this Nation that will not 90 I'M
punished forever. There will be a reckon
ing yet Yes, Epps, there's day coming
that will burn az an oven. 1t may be sooner
or it may be later, but it's coming as sure as
the Lord is just"
If any of the readers Of THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE, who ever read the book and wi no
also visited the plantation, will write brief
account of what they learned, for The TRIB-
UNE, think it would be very interesting.
The book is now out of print, cannot be pro-
cured OF any regular dealer. The copy which
have was procured from a secondhand book
store in Albany, N. Y, a few years ago. Per-
maps some OF the comrades OF the 10Th n. Y.
could write something that would be of in
terest regarding the affairs. L. CHAND-
