Black Ballot Meant Death.

On almost any Saturday or court
day there can be seen on the streets
of Wytheville, says the Wytheville
correspondent of the Richmond Times
Dispatch, two farmers. simple and re-
tiring in their tastes and habits. who
were called upon to undergo as try
ing an ordeal during the war between
the States as any soldier on either
side of that memorable struggle.
The old Confeds are Joseph Head
rick, farmer who lives on and owns
comfortable country estate lying on
the waters of Stony Fork, nine miles
west of Wytheville. and Jackson
Grubb. likewise the possessor of a
goodly country home few miles
south of town.
They, like thousands Of other young
mountaineers OF southwest Virginia.
answered promptly to Virginia's call
for volunteers in 81 and later became
members of the Sixty-third Virginia
regiment, which was afterward assign
ed to and became a part of Gen.
Palmer's brigade in Gen. Hoods army.
and while in that command they were
SdptufSu Wy nbiuC Va 1tn w. 0Htf-
mans men at Midway Station. nine
miles west of Branchville. In South
Carolina. That was on the 7th day Of
February. 1865.
Some days after their capture a
Federal soldier was found dead In the
swamps not far from Orangeburg in
that state. There were marks upon
his person which indicated that he
had ben beaten TO death with clubs.
A hasty conference OF the Federal
officers was held and they determined
upon regulation. so 100 OF the 400
Confederate prisoners In their charge
were marched out and Joseph Head
rick and Jackson. Grubb were with
them.
Three Federal officers accompanied
them. and without any explanation

VETERANS IS

the prisoners of war were lined up.
The three Federal officers took posi-.
ton at short distance. one of them
holding above his hesd cigar box.
while the two others acted as guards.
The Confederate soldiers were then
commanded TO march one by one be.
tween the guards and past the one
holding tic cigar box ard draw there
from slip of rsrer.
Then. for the first time. did II dawn
upon the prisoners what was being
exacted OF them.
The ordeal of that moment can bet.
ter be imagined than told. The fear
ful agony and strain which ninety
nine of the soldiers endured was soon
over with, for the orders were soon
executed, and the "die was cast"
Jackson Grubb was fortunate in that
he was among the first to draw and
he drew white ballot. which eventu.
ally meant life. home and loved ones
in old Virginia again.
Joseph Headrick was not quite so
fortunate, being late to draw, seventy
fifth in number, but he drew a white
ballot also.
The one who paid the awful penalty
was number eighty-one to draw. AS
soon as he drew the black ballot he
was halted, told to step aside, and the
drawing ceased. He was at once
marched off to Gen. Sherman's head
quarters and in an hour or so after
ward gunshots we're heard and the
fullest terms of war retaliation had
been met and satisfied.
When Mr.. Headrick recalled the
events of that moment tears came into
his eyes, and he said that he had
often faced cannon loaded with all of
the deadly missiles of war; that for
four days and nights he had been
exposed to the shot and shell of the
Federals before Nashville. but that
none of them was as trying as when
he faced that cigar box with its 100
ballots on that spring morning in in
1865.

premonitions Of Death.

Speaking of that winter campaign
in East Tennessee" said the doctor,
1T must not be assumed that the sea-
soned soldiers of the Army of the
Cumberland or the Army of the Ten
nessee were not equal to the occasion.
Most of them marched from the bat.
tie field of Missionary Ridge with as
little preparation as they would have
made foT one days scouting expe-
dition. Some of the divisions after
the relief of Knoxville drifted back
toward supplies at Chattanooga, but
Sheridan's division and others re.
mained to watch Longstreet.
I'm our division (Sheridan's). there
was much suffering. but officers and
men were resourceful and disposed
to make the hest of a situation. When
it was decided to start the abandoned
grist mills, hundreds of men were
sent into the fields to gather corn. aud
the mills were kept going steadily
turning out cornmeal for the men of
the several brigades. II was a trying
time, however, and a time for pre-
monitions. | never took much stock
in the latter. but one case has haunt.
ed me for forty years. One day the
brigade was sent out TO make feint
1t was known that there was no enc
my in force in front. but the men
were instructed to act as If there was
division there. They were to feign
an attack to compel a move OF the
enemy in that direction, but no one
expected fight.
"As the regiment moved forward In
line the lieutenant of one of the com.
panies took a memorandum book from
one pocket and his watch from an.
other, and. handing them to the cap.
tain. asked him, in case he was killed
to send them to his father. The cap.
tain said, Holy smoke, man. We are
not going into fight. This is all
sham, and there is. no danger. and
returned the book and watch. The
lieutenant ran across to the captain
and again insisted he should take the
book. saying that he had feeling
that he was to be killed. The captain
took the book. and in five minutes
the lieutenant fell dead from one OF
the few shots fired by the fleeing
rebel pickets. s."-Chicago Inter Ocean

War Cuts a Knot.

Who would suspect e. f. Seaman,
the Jolly Seaman, with his fund of
funny stories, his sparkling wit and
his keen appreciation of humor, TO
have been one of the principal figures
in one of the most pathetic occur
rences of the whole war of the rebel
lion?
Mr.. Seaman occupies position of
great trust and responsibility with
the Black Diamond steel works of
Park Bros. G. Co. of Pittsburg. A
shade of sadness falls over his laugh
ing countenance when he recalls the
events connected with the Salem raid.
one of the most trying periods of a
trying four years.
The advance guard, in command of
Quartermaster Seaman, had come up
on dancing party in a cabin in the
mountains between Sweet Sulphur
Springs and New Castle. After quiet
ly surrounding the house with his
squad Mr.. Seaman opened the door
and demanded the surrender Of the
men within. There were about twenty
Of them, all confederate soldiers.
Orders were given for the prisoners
to fall into line, and, except one tall,
finely formed young man, all obeyed.
He stood with his hand resting ON the
shoulder of a girl in. white. Both
seemed dazed by the turn of events.
The girl was the first to recover her
self-possession. Turning to Mr.. Sea-
man, she said:
you'll let George stay with me,
won't you. sir? We have just been
married"
Mr.. Seaman explained, as gently as
possible, the exigencies of war; that
as man he sympathized with her, but
as a soldier his duty was to take her
husband along. He assured her that
as a union prisoner her husband
should be treated with all kindness
and probably in two or three months
he would be exchanged and come bach
| to her.
Clinging wildly around her hus
| bands neck she burst into uncontrol
liable sobs. AS he pressed her to his
bosom many of the soldiers, WHOSE
| hearts had become hardened to pa
thetic scenes, found occasion to draw
| their sleeves across their eyes.
Iii a few moments she gained some
control of herself. and, loosing he,
arms, she raised her face to her hus
bands and said:
Goodbye, George; good d-bye!"
| The young man kissed her passion
ately and signified his readiness t,
accompany the union troops. Til,
eyes of the young bride followed hin
wistfully to the door. That was III.
last time she ever saw him OF earth
He was accidentally drowned Will,
crossing Jackson river.
In 1884 Mr.. Seaman revisited tha
portion of West Virginia. By maxim;
inquiries he was able to locate th'
bride of twenty years before, arr
after some search he found her. She
of course, never suspected his iden
tity. as twenty years had worked grea
changes.
Mr.. Seaman, being an adroit con
versationalist. easily led the converse
tion back to the war. In telling of |
he says:
"She conversed pleasantly until tina
subject was mentioned, when her man
ner became more quiet and her gaz
drifted from near objects to the lonl
blue horizon down the mountain. a
