oouuceu oiS uOrbeS ana MS noble anil
NAL appearing to be inspired with
peg vigor, founded off like deer
up the mountain. The last he saw
of his poor fellows on the opposite
side, they were disappearing up the
river bank, fired upon by whole
regiment of Yankees. BY this time
lit was dark, and also raining. He
knew that perfect Gordon of pickets
would Surround the foot Of the noun
tain, and if he remained there until
morning he would be lost.
So he determined to run the
gauntlet at once, and commenced to
descend. AS he neared the foot,
leading his horse, he came almost in
personal contact with picket. His
first impulse was to kilT him, but
finding him asleep, he determined to
let him sleep on. He made his way
to houseof Union man nat he
knew lived near there, and went MP
and passed himself off as Captain
Quar- srmaster of Hunts regiment,
who was on his way to Athens,
Tenn, to procure. supplies of sugar
and coffee for the Union people of
the country. The lady, who appeared
to be asleep while this interview was
taking place with her husband, at
the mention of sugar and coffee,
jumped out of bed in her night
clothes, and said, aThank God for
that, for we amt seen any real coffee
up here for God knows how long p
She was 80 delighted at the prospect
that she made up fire and cooked
them a good supper. Supper being
over the general remarked that he
understood some rebels had "tried to
CROSS the river this afternoon. %
"Yes," said the woman, "but our
men killed some un um and driv the
rest back" "Now," says the gene
raj, 81 know that, but didn't some of
them get over" EYES," was her reply,
"but they are on the mountain, and
can't get down without being killed,
as every road is stopped up" He
then said to her, cit is very impor-
tant for me to get to Athens TO NOR
row night, or may lose that sugar
and coffee, and / am afraid to go
down any of these roads, for fear
my own men will kill me-" The fear
OF losing that sugar and coffee
brought her again TO an accommodate
ing mood, and she replied: aWhy,
Paul, kant you show the captain
through our farm, that road down
by the field" The general says, ssOf
course, Paul, you can do it, and as
the night is very cold / will give you
$40 Gin gold) to help you along"
The gold, and the prospects of sugar
and coffee, was to much for any poor
mans nerves, and he yielded, and
getting on a horse, he took them
seven miles to the big road.
From this time forward he had a
series of adventures and escapes,
all very wonderful, until he got near
another riveri in Tennessee, when he
resolved to go up to a house and find
the way. Hines wentto the house,
while the general stood in the road.
Hearing body of cavalry come
dashing up behind him, he quietly
slipped to one side of the road and
it passed by without observing him.
