We were not any longer good COM
pany for each other. We had heard
over and over again all each others
stories and jokes, and each knew as
much about the others previous history
as we chose to communicate. The story
of every individuals past life, relations,
friends, regiment, and soldier experience
had been told again and again, until the
repetition was wearisome. The cool
nights following the hot days were
favorable to little gossiping seances like
the yarn-spinning watches of sailors on
pleasant nights.
Our squad, though its stock of stories
was worn threadbare, was fortunate
enough to have sweet singer in Israel
=" Nosey" Payue-of whose tuneful-
ness we never tired. He had a large
repertoire of patriotic songs, which he
sang with feeling and correctness, and
which helped much to make the calm
Summer nights pass agreeably. Among
the best of these was the following, which
| always thought was the finest ballad,
both in poetry and music, produced by
the war:

their forays In broad daylight and there
was hardly an hour in the "a that the
cry of " Raiders Raiders i" did not e
up from some part Of the pen, and or
looking in the direction of the cry one
would zee a surgipg, commotion, men
struggling, and clubs being piled Wig
orously. This was even more common
than the guards shooting men at the
creek-crossing. nav
One day l saw ";,Dick Aliens Raid
ers," II in number; attack a man wear
ing the uniform of Ellett's Marine Bri-
gade. He was a recent conner, and
alone, but he was brave. He had come
into possession of a spade by some means
or another, and he used this with de-
lightful vigor and effect. Two or three
times he struck one of his assailants so
fairly on the head and with such good
will that l congratulated myself that he
had killed him. Finally, Dick Allen
managed to slip around behind him un-
noticed, and striking him on the head
with a slungshot, knocked him down,
when the whole crowd pounced upon
him to kill him, but we're driven off by
others rallying to his assistance.
The proceeds of these forays enabled
the Raiders to wax fat and lusty, while
others were dying from starvation.
They all had good tents, constructed of
stolen blankets, and their headquarters
was large, roomy tent, with circular
top, situated on the street leading to the
South Gate, and capable of accommodate
ing from 70 to 100 men. All the
material for this had been wrested away
from others. While hundreds were
dying from the miserable, insufficient
food, and lack of vegetables, these fell
lows had -four, fresh meat, onions, pota-
toes, green beans, and other things, the
very looks of which were torture to our
men. They were on the best possible
terms with the rebels, whom they fawned
upon and groveled before, and were in
return allowed many favors, in the way
Of trading, going out upon detail, and
making purchases.
Among their special objects of attack
were the small traders in the prison.
We had quite number or these whose
genius. for barter was so strong that it
took root and fourished even in that un-
propitious soil, and during the time when
new prisoners were constantly coming
in with money, they managed to accumu-
late small sums-from $40 upward, by
trading between the guards and the
prisoners. AL
In the period Immediately following
a prisoners entrance he was likely to
spend all his money and trade off all
his possessions for food, trusting to for
tune to get him outsof there when these
were gone. Then was when he was prof
liable to these go-betweens, who man
aged to make him pay handsomely for
what he got. The Raiders kept watch
of these traders, and plundered them
whenever occasion served. 1t reminded
one of the habits 5of the fishing eagle,
which hovers around until some other
bird catches fish, and then takes it
away.
