In my cOmmuui alton to THE TIMES
last week made rsention of the fact
that free masonry had saved the life of
Professor Law, the balloonist, who lit on
Pea Ridge with his balloon in 1864, and
l will now mention another instance
where masonry saved the life of Yam
kee captain. At the battle Of the orator
near Petersburg, Va, in July, 1864. A
great many Yankee prisoners were cap
tured and rushed to the rear in the ravine
near the old ice honse between Peters
burg and our Notifications. Gen. Grant
used good many negro troops on this
occasion and Yankee captain who COM
manded company of negroes was cap
tured with his company and sent back
near the ice house where there were
many prisoners being guarded by our
troops. Our guards seeing the captain
IN command Of the negro troops gath
cred around him and commenced to
curse him for fighting against our army
with negroes and for being captain of
the negro soldiers and were going to kill
the captain, and the poor Fellow was
sweating great drops of sweat and beg
ging for his life but no quarters were
shown to him. His time on earth was
only matter of a few moments when
the captain cried out is there no masons
I'm this crowd and at the same time made
sign of distress and one of our soldiers
sprang to the relief Of the captain and
stopped the angry guards and saved the
captains life and he was sent on to
Petersbdfg and to prison without being
harAed. HHar7 ''a 1"a
