ATTACKS, AND BATTLES By DAY-HARD
TIMES FOR THE SMALL. TRADERS.
With each long, hot Summer hour
the vermin and the Raiders increased in
numbers and vehomous activity. They
were ever-present anBoyanees and
troubles; no time was free from them.
The pedicutus uestimenti worried us by
day and tormented Us by night; the
maggot-fies fouled our food, and laid
in sores and wounds larva that speedily
became masses of wriggling worms. The
Raiders were human vermin that preyed
upon and harried us increasingly.
They FORMED themselves into bands
numbering from five to %, each led by
bold, unscrupulous, energetic scoun-
drel. We now called them Raiders"
and the most prominent and best known
of the bands were called by the names
of their ruffian leaders, as Mosby's
Raiders" "Curtis's Raiders" De-
laney's Raiders" Sarsfeld's Raiders"
"Collins's Raiders" etc.
As long as we old prisoners formed
the bulk of those inside the Stockade,
the Raiders had slender picking. They
would occasionally snatch a blanket
from the tent poles, or knock boy

COMMUNITY WITHOUT GOVERNMENT.
FORMATION OF THE REGULAToRs-RAIp-
ERs ATTACK KEY, BUT ARE BLuFFED
OFF.
To fully appreciate the condition cf
affairs let it be remembered that we
were a community of 25,000 boys and
young men-none too regardful of con-
troll at best-and now wholly destitute
of government. The rebels never made
the slightest attempt to maintain order
in the prison. Their whole energies
were concentrated in preventing our
escape. So long as we staid inside the
stockade they cared as little what we
did there as for the performances of
savages in the interior of Africa. Idoubt
if they would have interfered had one
half of us killed and eaten the other
half. They rather took delight in
such atrocities as came to their notice.
1t was an ocular demonstration of the
total depravity of the Yankees.
Among ourselves there was no one in
position to lay down law and enforce it.
Being all enlisted men, we were on a
dead level as far as rank was concerned
the highest being only sergeants,
whose stripes carried no weight of au-
thority. The time of our stay was-it
was hoped-too transient to make it
worth while bothering about organizing
any form of government.
The great bulk of the boys we're re-
cent comers, who hoped that in another
week or SO they would be out again.
There we're no fat salaries to tempt any
one to take upon himself the duty of
ruling the masses, and all were lett to
their own devices, to do good or evil, ac-
cording to their several benfs, and as
fear or consequences swayed them. Each
little squad OF men was law unto them
selves, and made and enforced their own
regulations on their own territory. The
administration of Justice was reduced to
its simplest terms. If a fellow did wrong
he was poanded-if, there was anybody
capable of doing it. If not he went free.
The almost unvarying success of the
Raiders in their forays gave the general
impression that they were invincible-
that is, that not enough men could be
concentrated against them to whip
them. Our ill-succe4s in the attack we
made on them in April helped us to the
same belief. If we could not beat them
then, we could not now, after we had
been enfeebled by,'months Of starvation

have known as many as three Of these to
be killed in night, and their bodies
with throats cut or skulls crushed in
be found in the morning among the dead
at the gates
All men having money or valuables
were under continual espionage, and
when found in places convenient for
attack rush was made for them. They
we're knocked down and their persons
rifed with such swift dexterity that it
was done before they realized what had
happened.
At first these depredations were only
perpetrated at night. The quarry was
selected during the day, and arrange
ments made for descent. After the
victim was asleep the band dashed down
upon him, and sheared him OF his goods
with incredible swiftness. Those near
would raise the cry of Raiders +" and
attack the robbers. If the latter had
secured their booty they retreated with
all possible speed, and were soon lost in
the crowd. If not, they would offer
battle, and signal for assistance from the
other bands. Severe engagements of
this kind were of continual occurrence.
In which men were SO badly beaten as to
die from the effects. The weapons used
Were fists. clubs, axes, tent.poles, etc.
The Raiders were plentifully provided
with the usual weapons of their class
slungshots and brass knuckles. Several
of them had succeeded in smuggling
bowie knives into prison.
They had the great advantage in
these rows of being we'll acquainted
with each other, while, except the Ply
mouth Pilgrims, the rest of the prisoners
were made up of small squads of men
from each regiment in the service, and
total strangers TO all outside of their
own little band. The Raiders could
concetrate, If necessary, 400 or 500 men
upon any point of attack. and each
member of the gangs had become 40
familiarized with all the rest by long
association in New York and elsewhere
that he never dealt a blow amiss, while
their opponents were nearly as likely to
attack friends as enemies.
BY the middle of June the continual
success Of the Raiders emboldened them

depredations to the night, but made

Abundant opportunities for securing
richer swag came to them with the ad-
vent of the Plymouth Pilgrima As has
been before stated, these boys brought in
with them large portion Of their first
instalment of veteran bounty-aggregat-
ing in amount, according to varying
estimates, between twenty-five thousand
and one hundred thousand dollars. The
Pilgrims were likewise we'll clothed, had
an abundance Of blankets and camp
equipage, and a plentiful supply Of per
sonal trinkets that could be readily
traded off to the rebels. An average
one Of them-even if his money were
all gone-was a bonanza to any band
which could succeed in plundering him.
His watch and chain, shoes, knife, ring,
handkerchief, combs, and similar trifes
would net several hundred dollars in
Confederate money. The blockade,
which cut off the rebel communication
with the outer world, made these in
great demand. Many of the prisoners
that came in from the Army Of the Po-
tomac repaid robbing equally well. As
a rule those from that army were not
searched SO closely as those from the
West, and not unfrequently they came
in with all their belongings untouched,
where Sherman's men, arriving the same
day, would be stripped nearly to the
buff.
The methods Of the Raiders were vari-
Gus, ranging all the way from sneak
thievery to highway robbery. All the
arts learned in the prisons and purlieus
of New York were put into exercise.
Decoys, bunco-steerers at home, would
be on the lookout for promising subjects
as each crowd of fresh prisoners entered
the gate, and by kindly offers to find
