Where Wade Hampton Was Wounded.
A Confederate veteran visiting the
Henry house since the war, upon seeing
the large elm tree which stands in the
yard and bears the placard: Where
Wade Hampton was wounded" said that
he and another soldier we're shielding
themselves behind that tree and were

a good marksman that he struck the
tree every time he fred, but, although
he stood in the open, they could not hit
him. While they were thus engaged
another Confederate who had better
rifle came along and inquired what they
were doing. He said he would try his
hand. He fired and missed. He said he

he must have food or die from hunger
so he stealthily approached negro
cabin and begged some cornbread. But
alas for him, two physicians returning
from professional calls saw what they
considered dangerous apparition
sneaking into the woods and alarmed
the town. Soon n dangerous mob was
in hot pursuit of the sorely afflicted
Captain Robbins. Fleeing like hunted
beast before them, he came to broad
stream. and preferring any kind of a
death to another capture, he plunged
| into the ice cold water. He reached
/ the opposite shore in safety, and nearly
dead with cold. made his way at mid
night to looking cabin and told
his story to AN old negro, who ex-
claimed:

Little by little it was found that the
negro's master was a Mr.. Morrison a
sympathizer of the North, who was
| hiding from the detectives of the pro-
vost marshal. and actually living night
and day in the rayless cellar of an old
barn This cellar became the hospital
and almost the tomb of poor Robbins.
His terrible suffering. his mental an
guish. and the chill received from the
cold swim across the river resulted in
a heavy fever, and for days and nights
he was tenderly nursed by the kind
friends into whose hands he had been
so providentially guided.

noble North Carolinan to know that

delight to discover the Cape Fear River

but not disheartened fugitive was safe
at last from rebel scout or angry
bloodhound, under the waving folds OF
the old flag.
Captain Robbins is now a valued
clerk in the War Department. but he
is best known to the people of the Ma

Central Union Mission, of which he has
been director and treasurer for many
years.
