CAPTUR ED THE CUTTER
An Adventure of n Federal Crew in the
Bayous of LOuisiana.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: On May
10, 1864, our BOatswain called the third cut
ter away 1.-THE gigs crew to man herr. We
lowered the boat and got all ready to receive
our officers-Acting Ensign Henry Jackson
and Coast plot A. 7. Vanzll. We proceeded
to Calclsieu Bayou, La, to communicate
with the Granite CITY and the Wave. We
experienced rough time before we got TO
the bayou, as the surf was running high
along the coast, and one Of our men, second
bow, caught crab, which swung the boat
broadside on TO the surf and nearly capsiZed
US.
We got over that difficulty to get into a
worse one. We entered the bayou and
pulled up within about quarter Of mile

/ noticed the Confederate flag fying Oh the
Granite City. ! called Acting Ensign Jack
sons attention, but he called me a young
fool, and said our people were having lark
with us. At the same time, however, he
picked up his rife and fired at the flag.
The ball penetrated the flag, and the rebs
Immediately opened fire on us from the
Granite City, (they having captured both
our vessels a few days belore.)
One of the slugs hit Acting Ensign Jack
son in the region Of the heart. He expired

OF Pilot Vanzill, who said to me:
"Cockswain, what will we do?"
/ said: 1--WE are entirely at your COM
mand."
Il think we had better surrender"
He held up his white handkerchief but
Notwithstanding that we had already sur
rendered, the rebels fired 6-pOund howitzer
shell at us from the Granite City, which ex-
ploded about 90 feet from the how of the
boat A more cowardly action l never wit
messed. They called out to us to stop throw
ing our arms overheard, or they would blow
us out of the water.
They then commanded us to pull along
side the Granite City and come on board
They left Acting Ensign Jackson's body in
the boat and rowed on shore, but do not
know whether they buried it or gave it up
TO the New London.
The rebs chaffed US, and told US we were
lucky not TO be all killed, as u of them took
aim at US, but only two rifles went of. They
accounted for that by saying their ammuni-
ton got damp through their lying about
in the swamps so long and not having drawn
their charges for some days They were
Griffith's Swamp Angels who captured us.
They kept us on board until 6 o'clock that
evening; then they landed us and started
US on the march along the beach to Sabine
Pass. When we got ON to the beach we
could see the New London cruising in and

she fired mnute-guns and sent up rockets
thinking we had missed our track.
Nothing unusual happened on the route.
We were well guarded, and after three or
four halts for rest and something TO eat we
arrived at Sabine Pass on the morning of
May II. They put us on board river
steamer and took Us on to Houston. We
arrived there all right, and a big crowd was
waiting to see the live Yankees. | remem-
Der one man in thererowd, and his language
l could not describe; it was so bad that my
guard showed the fellow in the mouth with
the butt end of his rifle, and told him he
would shoot him if he'didn't shut up.
After short stay at Houston they put US
on board train of cars and took us on to
Camp Grass, Tex, where we were received
by another guard under Capt. Audlem Tor
Oliver, and after our names were taken we
were thoroughly searched and everything
taken from US.
After the search we were escorted into the
stockade among the other prisoners. We
were detained there for q few months, and
then they got us on the march from place
to place, the cry, as usual, being We are
going to exchange you" We spent seven
months and 10 days in their company, and
until what was left of us would not want
exchanging if they kept us much longer, for
we were all broken down in health from
the privations we went through. l was pa
rolled about the end of November and sent
to New York via Galveston and New Or

after having served three years and five

Secretary Cameron Anticipated that a Great
Battle Would be Fought There,
Nelp York Tribune

Gen. Sickles was discussing his favorite
theme, the establishment of military park,
garrison and recruiting station at Gettys-
burg, and the new order of the War Depart
ment to concentrate the troops near the large
cities He recalled that in May, 1861, when
his Excelsior Brigade was lying at Camp
Scott, on Staten Island, waiting to be mus
tered into the United States service, he went
on to Washington to consult with President
Lincoln and Secretary of War Cameron on
military matters. He urged the filling up
of the old regiments with raw troops, and
the establishment of recruiting stations at
convenient points along the coast and inland,
where they could be reached by transports
and railroads, and concentrated easily In
short time at any given point. Secretary
Cameron agreed with the suggestion, and
pulling down a map and pointing to the then
little, unknown town of Gettysburg, fav-
ored it as an inland rendezvous. He went
further, and, noting the number of roads
centering in the village and commenting on
the ease with which an army could be hur-

of the Vicksburg siege were spent by the
Third Brigade, Fourth Division, Seventeenth
Corps at a camp of observation near the
Fox plantation, some miles in the rear of
Vicksburg, and not far from the Black River.
At the house were gathered a number of
rebel women, whose male friends were in
side the rebel lines While awaiting the
result of the siege they took kindly to the
attentions paid them by some over-polte
comrades and were always ready for ex-
change for our fractional currency to supply
us with their generousI y-watered SKINNED
milk. A slightly-extended ridge of ground
hid the house from our Brigade Headquar-
tiers.
1.-THE location was shady, cool, and every
way delightful, and at almost any time in
the day group of officers might be seen
enjoying their cigars and kindred pleasures
in front of the tents About noon of that
memorable Independence Day paroled rebels
began to pass us hOmeward-bOund. Going
to the house for my quart of milk, hap
pened to be there when an Orderly rode up
10 the door and handed dispatch to one of
the ladies. CHANGING hastily at Its contents,
she threw the paper on the floor and ex-
claimed: My God! Capt. - is to be
shot Immediately at Brigade Headquarters
Screams, sobs, wringing of hands, confusion,
instantly ensued. Istepped forward, picked
up the dispatch and read: Capt. - is at
Brigade Headquarters, to be shot immedi-
ately--in the neck
In the confusion explanation was use
less. One of the ladies-short, fat, fair, and
40-had donned a sun-bOnnet, and was wad-
ding campward as fast as her short legs and
shorter wind would permit. Nearing the
crest of the ridge with the expected death
scene about to appear, her trepidation was
terrible. Following closely l was not sur
prised to see her suddenly halt, gaze an in
slant, about-face, and return to the house.
She had seen an officer in gray with an in
verified bottle at his lips. Shot in the neck
needed no explanations"
