Two Men on Trial for Their Lives for

Prince Johnnalkin. colored. Is being
tried at Winton. y. c., for a double
crime, in which John Freeman and
Laud Daughtrey are Implicated He Is
charged with criminal assault attend-
ed by the most revolving circumstances
and also with murder. Feeling runs 80
high against the negro and Freeman,
the only one of the white men who has
been arrested that they are be-
Ing guarded during the trial to
prevent lynching. There seems to be
no question but that Johnnakin will
suffer the extreme penarty of law, and
Freeman will probably be found par
ticeps criminis, for he and Daughtrey,
1t is alleged, inst!gated the inhuman
crime. They had had some difficulty
with Simpson Pierce, who resides at
Tunis, and had sent the negro to de-
mand a sttlement with him. Mrs. Simp-
son ordered the man away from her
premises. but the derenseless woman
was assaulted by the negro in her own
house. and as her husband approached,
In answer to her cries for help, the
negro siezed the mans own gun and
shot him dead as he entered the door.

FIRST DAYS AT FLORENCE-INTRODUCTI
TO LIEUT.. BARRETT THE RED-HEADED
KEEPER-A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF OUR
NEW QUARTERs-WINDER' MALIGN IN
FLUEFCE MANIFEST
The December morning was gray and
leaden; dull, somber, snow-laden clouds
swept across the sky before the soughing
wind.
The ground, frozen hard and stiff, cut
and hurt our bare feet at every step; an
icy breeze drove in through the holes in
our rags, and smote our bodies like
blows from sticks. The trees and shrub
berry around were as naked and forlorn
as in the North in the days of early
Winter before the snow comes.
Over and around us hung, like cold
miasma, the sickering odor peculiar to
Southern forests in Wintertime. Out of
the naked, repelling, unlovely earth rose
the Stockade in hiieous ugliness.
At the gate the two men continued at
their monotonous labor Of tossing the
dead of the previous day into the wagon
-beaving into that rude hearse the in
animate remains that had once tempted
gallant. manly hearts, glowing with pat

likely to be our abiding place for some
indefinite period in the future.
AS usual, this discovery was the death
warrant of many whose lives had only
been prolonged by the hoping against
hope that the movement would termi-
nate inside our lines. When the por-
tentous palisades Showed to fatal GER
tainty that the word of promise had been
broken to their hearts, they gave up
the struggle YEARLY, lay back on the
frozen ground, and died.
Andrews and we're not in the humor
for dying just then. The long impris-
onment, the privations of hunger, the
scourging by the elements, the death of
four out of every five Of our number had
indeed dulled and stupefed us--bred
an indifference to our own suffering and
a seeming callousness to that of others,
but there still burned in our hearts, and
in the hearts of everyone about us, dull,
sullen, smoldering fire Of hate and def
ance toward everything rebel, and lust
for revenge upon those who had showered
woes upon our heads.
There was little fear of death; even
the King of Terrors loses most of his
awful character upon tolerably close &C.
quaintance, and we had been on very
intimate terms with him for a year now.

in upon us at all hours Of the day and
night, and would not be denied to any
one.

believe this is generally true of death by
disease everywhere. Our ever-kindly
mother, Nature, only makes us dread
death when she desires us to preserve
life. When she summons us hence she
tenderly provides that we shall willingly
obey the call.
More than for anything else. we
wanted to live now to triumph over the
rebels. To simply die would be of little
Importance, but to die unrevenged would
be fearful. If we-the despised, the
contemned, the insulted, the starved and
maltreated-could live to come back to
our oppressors as the armed ministers of
retribution, terrible in the remembrance
of the wrongs of ourselves and comrades,
irresistible as the agents of heavenly
justice, and mete out to them that Bib
lical return of sevenfold of what they
had measured out to us, then we would
be content to GO to death-atteracards.
Had the thrice-accursed Confederacy and
our malignant gaoers millions of lives,
our great revenge would have stomach
for them all. 1n

Still, they were treated we'll in
Charleston-better than they had been

Charity were interchangeable in minister
ing to the sick and dying. Altogether,
their recollections Of the place were
quite pleasant.
Despite the disagreeable prominence
which the city had in the Secession
movement, there was very strong
Union element there, and many men
found opportunity to do favors to the
prisoners and reveal to them how much
they abhorred secession.
After they had been in Charleston a
fortnight or more the yellow fever
broke out in the city, and soon extended
its ravages to the prisoners, quite num-
Der dying from it.
