WAR SI
In Virginia "With "Je
18?
While a soldier ia the Confederate
States army the thought of being cap
tured and confined in a Northern pris
on was akin to horror and humiliation.
I was willing to take my chances for
life or death in thc midst of shot and
shell among those who opposed us:
but tobe confined in a prison, with
cold, hunger and suffering, with
thoughts continually upon home and
its loved ones, was enough to make a
man decide as I did, never to surren
der. There might have been circum
stances causing me to yield to my ;
foes, but it was my good fortune to .
escape thc many chances of cap- '
ture during thc three years of my aruty
life.
This brings to my mind a few ex
citing scenes which maj* be classed as
"close calls," and, therefore, may fit
in thc columns of The Journal r >
kindly reserved for us. The young
single men of the army were more
reckless and took more chances on
their lives than did the married men, I
whose responsibilities were greater. In
1803 I was for a few months a courier
for General William C. Wickham, and
while in northern Virginia, I think in
Fauquirc County. Wickham's brigade
was guarding the rear of Lee's army;
we were watching the advance of Mime
Federal cavalry when General ?Vick
ham called to Richard Hill, another I
courier, and ordered him to ride to the
t.p.iw of the hill just in our rear in or- [
. f to ascertain whether tho Yankees :
advancing. Just as we reached
thu summit of thc hill, youug Hill
reeled and fell from his horse, pierced j
through by a minie ball. Had I been
a few feet iu advance 1 might have
shared his fate. He was a gallant
young man of my County and a near
relative of General A. P. Hill, the
distinguished general who lost his life
April 2, 18G5, almost at the last sun
set of the Confederacy. The next
"close call" occurred at Chancellors
ville on May 2nd, a day or two after
Hooker issued to his command a gen
eral order in which he said among
other things, "Our enemy must in
gloriously fly or come from behind his
defenses and give us battle on our own
ground, where certain destruction
awaits him." My company was on
picket duty near Ranks' ford, on the
Rappahannock River, between Fred
ericksburg and Hooker's army.
We were on the mine road, watch
ing for any flauk movement which
might be attempted by Hooker's left
wing.
A young Mr. Wilhoit, from my
County, who joined the company the
same time that I did, was sent with
me down the road in advance of the
picket post; he took his stand on ono
side of tue road in tho. timber, and I
selected the opposite side. Wo were
watching the movements of some
Yankee artillery some distance in our
front, when suddenly I heard the
eraok of a carbine, and young Wilhoit
fell from dis horse shot through the
body. I was then ordered back, but
before reaohing the post a solid shot
was fired from the Yankee battery, the
ball smashing in pieces tho cooking
utensils on thc fire at the reserve, de
stroying our supper but injuring none
of the boys around the fire. I was at
thc post nearly all night and listened
to the fearful noise made by Hooker's
asernen, building the most formidab.c
breastworks, out of which they were
compelled to retreat on the next day
owing to that splendid flank movement
by General "Stonewall" Jackson.
Again, while my company was on duty
in Madison County in 1864, a detail
of 15 or 18 men commanded by Lieu
tenant Carpenter was sent out on
pioket beyond the Robinson River on
the rood leading from Criglersville to
Culpepper Court House, Ya. In thc
afternoon ??c crossed to the north side
of the river and marched a few miles
beyond, where we came to a small
country church located in a little pine
grove at a oross roads. There we all
dismounted, unsaddled our horses and
.opened up the ohurch building as our
quarters for the night. After placing
two guards on the roads a short dis
tance in our front, our little Confed
erate command retired in apparent secu
rity for the night. I had tied my horse
to a sapling and was in the act of
unsaddling when Lieut.Carpenter call
ed me to one side and asked if I would
accompany him to Cn^lersville and
spend the night with a friend of his
and enjoy the company of the young j
ladies. Of course I gladly ace ep ted
his invitation. The post was loft in
charge of a sergeant, and we were soon
enjoyir? tho hospitality of Mr.
Stickler and family on tho south side
of i 'ie river. We remained all night
and left at the break of day for the
pioket post. We had just crossed tho
xiy?r when we were met by a cavalry
man coming at breakneck speed, wav
ing his hnnd at us to go back, that the
Yankees had captured all of our com
WIES.

J maud at thc post and were now in pur
; suit of him. Lieut. Carpenter and I
galloped back across the river and
' down thc turnpike in the direction of
i Madison Court House, hoping to reach
that place in time to inform thc citi
zens of the approaching raiders. We
rode at a gallop for a mile or two,
lin n we slackened our gait as we as
cended a long hill with fences on both
sides of the road. We were laughing
and talking about the boys being cap
tured, when Lieutenant Carpenter
asked me for a chew of tobacco. It
was raining a little and I had on my
V. M. I. overcoat and ho had an oil
cloth over his uniform. Ile was
watching for me to hand him the
tobacco, and in my efforts to get
at it I had lost sight of the road in my
front.
We were just nearing a sharp turn
in the road when suddenly he turned
to me and exclaimed: "Look out, we
are into them!" We were within fifty
steps of eight or ten Yankees. As we
wheeled our horses a volley from their
carbines was poured into our faces.
Tho bullets whistled around our heads,
but none took effect. They ran us
down tho pike for half a mile, and two
of them were gaining upon us, when
suddenly we came to a pair of draw
bars over which wc jumped our horses,
and were again soon outof their reach.
We halted a short distance from them,
but fearing an ambuscade they de
clined to follow us. The lieutenant
took off his oil cloth and found eight
or ten holes through it from the bul
lets. John Rose, one among the
uuuiber captured al thc post, suffered
the horrors of prison life for months,
aud finally thc poor follow died on his
way home, after having been ex
changed. Dr. Sprinkle, now of Cul
pepper Courthouse, Va., was among
the number who was captured. These
are little personal matters, but we old
soldiers love to look back over the
past and bring to light again those in
cidents that so interested us in our
boyhood days, for as we grow old ev
erything seems to us wonderfully
great, even down to the ashcake our
old colored mammies used to make for
us. It is useless for me to recount
the many hardships suffered by is
while soldiers in the Confederate
States army under that patriotic and
pure man, Jefferson Davis, who was
second to no man who graced the halls
of the United States Senate at the
breaking out of thecivil war. Future
historians will record the heroic deeds
of those who stood by each other for
four long years and fought to the bit
ter end. The memories of the great
struggle told ' y Colonel J. J. Dickin
son, of Florida, are cherished by e\ery
patriotic American soldier. He says:
"We cannot find in all the annals of
history a grander record or prouder
roll, nor more just fame for bravery,
patient endurance of hardship* and
sacrifices." The noble chieftain, Rob
ert E. Lee, said, "Judge your enemy
from his standpoint, if you would be
just."
Whatever may bc said of the con
tention of the two great sections of
tho union, whether by arbitration of
council every issue might have been
settled and a fratricidal war averted,
there will be but one unalterable de
cree of history respecting the Confed
erate soldier. His deeds of heroism
are wreathed around with glory, and
he will be ever honored, because ho
was uotonly brave and honorable, but
true to his convictions. The sacrifi
ces made by our loyal defenders and
their glorious deeds shall not perish,
but the pen of the historian shall
hand them down through the ages-a
proud heritage to our race and to all
mankind. Now that the people who
so grandly illustrated their loyalty to
the Confederacy are passing away, the
South claims from them a truthful,
dispassionate history of the causes
leading to their withdrawal from the
Union and the subsequent events when
the tocsin of war sounded throughout
the land.-Dr. J. B. Conway, in At

ENDORSES HON. WYATT AIKEN.
Ex-Soldier of thc Old First Regiment Asks |
the Soldier Boys to Stick to Aiken.
Editor Intelligencer-Sir: Several
articles have recently appeared in the
different newspapers of this the 3d
Congressional District of South Caro
lina, about candidates or a. ail able
aspirants to the honorable position as
Congressman. The District seems to
be greatly blessed in good material, or
rather in men who believe themselves
to be of the right sort, judging, of
course by the number who are in the
fight for this most coveted position.
But, however, that maybe, Mr. Edi
tor, I will discuss that no further, but
will confine this article to its original
purpose, viz: that of the merits of
one of the old members of Co. A, 1st
Beg. S. C. V. Infantry, which was
displayed in a hundred different ways
aud in as many different instances
while he wore the uniform of his
country during its crisis of 18UC, and
which subsequently has become known
to such an extent to the people gen
erally that they have induced him to
become a candidate of thc people, and
for the people, to thc national House
of Representatives, believing as they
do that a man of such attainments as
a scholar and a birth in a lap of pa
triotic influences which he has main
tained throughout his life; who hav
ing that profound patriotic instinct
which he so richly inherited from an
illustrious parent, that when thc first
notes of the bugle sounded "assem
bly" to the nation's citizen soldiery,
he did not stop and
Question the reason, Why
but was one among the first to answer
with the knowledge of a true born son
of the South that it was his duty as
*an American to
Do, and if necessary, Die
in defence of his country. Believing,
I say, as the people evidently do; that
a man who could throw down the
gauntlet like Wyatt Aiken did in *i?S
is worthy to represent us in the halls
of our national government. And yet,
Mr. Editor, that is not all, for he is
worthy because of his spotless charac
ter in his dealings with his fellow
men, both private and public. I had
the honor to be a member of thc same
company during the Spanish-American
war in thc 1st regiment of this State,
and had therefore ample opportunity
of seeing the many acts of benevo
lence rendered to the enlisted men of
our regiment by Mr. Aiken, which
was a frequent Hight to behold in our
camps at Chickamauga and down in
Florida. Even while he was "only a
private" he did many noble acts of
kindness for several of the boys who
had become sick from the unusual
hardships of a soldier's camp life.
But after he was promoted to tho po
sition of Adjutant of a Battalion and
assigned to the quarter-master's de
partment he did more for us, because
he had something to do with it him
self, and he put new life into the de
partment with which he was connec
ted. We had no more boxes sent us
from home with "grub" in them for
"my hungry sou" io each letter from
a loving mother that invariably accom
panied each box. Why? Because we
had a man who was attending to his
duty, looking out for the enlisted men
of our regiment like a real officer, that
he was, instead of trying to break his
back to get it straight and walking
himself to ('oath up and down a com
pany street in order that he may re
ceive the salutes of the men. Wyatt
Aiken cared for no salutes save those
of absolute neoessity or for the preser
vation of military oourtesy.
Now, in conclusion, Mr. Editor and
kind reader, I wish to say a word or so
to the members of the old 1st regi
ment, that it is our duty as ex-soldiers
who live in this District to support
Hon. Wyatt Aiken in his candidacy
for Congress with a whoop that will
eoho like our yells did over the bat
tle field cf Chickamauga or over the
sand hills of Florida, in the approach
ing primary.
There are good mea who oppose
him in this oampaign; men whose in
tegrity and fidelity to a conscientious
duty is beyond question, but after
taking everything into consideration,
I can only offer to them a word of
sympathy in the hour of their defeat
whioh is inevitable to every opponent
of Hon. Wyatt Aiken, who, (if his
friends count for anything,) will be
known the norning after the primary
by the title of Congreasman^Wyatt

of South Carolina.-F. W. G., ex

Whooping Cough.
A woman who has had experienoe
with this disease, tells how to prevent
any dangerous conscqueuces from it.
She says: Our three children took
whooping cough last Summer, our
baby boy being only three months old,
and owing to our giving thom Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy,they lost none
of their plumpness and came out in
much better health than othor ohil
dred whose parents did not use this
remedy. Our oldest little girl would
call lustily for cough syrup between
whoops.-JESSIE PINKEV HALL,

Tennessee Phosphates.
The subject of commercial fertili
zers is becoming more and more im
portant to our farmers every year, and
it is well ?hat they should be inform
ed on the matter in ail its phases.
Thc chief ingredient iu the fertilizers
used by our farmers is phosphate, and
fortunately the South possesses all
the phosphate deposits of consequence
in the world. The chief deposits are
found in Florida, South Carolina and
Tennessee, of whioh by far tho great- i
est are in Tennessee. There is more !
or less phosphate found in several
counties ia Middle Tennessee, but the
principal beds are situated in thc
counties of Maury, Hickman, Lewis
and Perry, almost exactly in the cen
tre of the State. The first discoveries
were made in Hickman about 181*4 and
considerable mining was done there,
but this was nearly abandoned when
the wonderful deposits of Mount
Pleasant, in Maury County, were
found a few years afterward.
The industry at Mount Pleasant has
grown until that station alone ships
annually 400,000 tons of phosphate
rook, about one-fifth of the world's
supply. All the conditions for min
ing are perfect at that place. The
rock is of the highest grade, the
quantity is most extensive, the physi
cal conditions are most advantageous
? and the shipping facilities are the
most favorable to be found anywhere.
It is possible to put the rock on the
cars at Mount Pleasant for about $1.50
a ton and it is sold at from $2.50 to
$3.50 a ton to the fertilizer factories.
The freights to the factories and from
them to the farmers constitute the
greatest source of expenso in the cost
of the finished commercial product,
ready for use on the fields. The rock
is found in ledges, beginning a foot or
two bel >w the surface of the ground
and going down from four to twelve
feet, one thin layer of from one to
three inohes thick, placed on top of
another. The ledges are not unlike a
stone wall made up of fiat stones. The
mining is the easiest and simplest
process imaginable. The thin cover
of top soil is removed and then the
ledge is attacked with the pick, the
fragmentary phosphate layers are pried
off and broken up with hammers and
dried either in the sun or in kilns.
There is more or less phosphate on
nearly every farm in Maury County,
whioh has long been noted as the
most fertile in the State of Tennessee.
The cause of the fertility is the dis
integrated phosphate in the soil. It
is only when the phosphate is in
ledges, as at Mount Pleasaqt, that it j
is profitable at this time to mine.
The field at Mount Pleasant is only
about two miles wide by five miles
long and the ledges do not underlie
this area with entire regularity.
When this supply is exhausted,
however, it will be necessary to look
for other fields where tho quality is
not so high, the deposit not so thiok,
the mining deeper and the rock moro
refractory. There are hundreds of
square miles of rock in Hickman and
adjoining counties, whioh will then .
come in for attention from the fertili
zer seekers. The supply of this kind
is practically inexhaustible and will
muke Tennessee for centuries to come
the store house of fertility for the ex
hausted land of the nation* The ex
haustion is going on, of course, every
where all the time and the demand for
phosphates, therefore, is constantly
on the inorease.
It seems a Providential gift of na
ture at the place where it is most
needed. Here are the lands of the
older South exhausted by improvident
cultivation and worthless, but for the
rioh soil foods ready for their restora
tion at the points most accessible to
the greatest number of them. The
ohief soil foods are phosphate, nitro
gen and potash. Phosphate is the
most important of the three, being
generally needed in about a two-thirds
proportion. These are the elements
that aro supplied in the commercial
fertilizers furnished to our farmers.

Washington's Beginning.
Efforts to provide more decent and
reputable quarters for the chief execu
tive and his corps recall many in
teresting facts in the early history of
some of the public buildings in Wash
ington.
It was not until 1796 that the
tempest-tossed congress of the 13
colonies saw thc first evidence of the
Federal city that excited the mirth of
the wits, the forebodings of the timid.
The circumference of the city as it
now spreads out under the great dome
is greatly contracted from the impos
ing dimensions originally laid out by
the engineer, L'Enfant. Where the
superb patent office now stretches in
marble majesty the poetic Frenohman,
inspired by recent events in Paris,
had marked the site for a national
tabernacle, where national events
were to be religiously commemorated,
where national obsequies were to be
celebrated, and the dead honored by
the country were to be buried ond
their monuments perpetuated-a sort
of Pantheon to lae glories of the Re
public. But the Frenchman's hopes
and plans were early nipped, for even
lin those early days "jobs" and
"rings" found their account. He was
beset on all sides by venal legislators
and self-seeking jobbers, and practi
cally coerced into throwing up his
commission in disdain, leaving the
city to be completed by Andrew Elli
cott.
In 1782, $500 in gold was offered,
without restriction as to calling, to
the citizen who should send in the
accepted design for the president's
house. Five hundred dollars and a
lot in the new city, or a gold medal
were offered for the best design of the
Capitol. To a generation that has
become familiar with the sums annu
ally appropriated and voted for post
office and custom houses, our fore
fathers Will seem thrifty indeed, em
barking upon city building with a
grant of $19,200 from tho States of
Virginia and Maryland.
This, however, was supplemented
by a national lottery, for which 60,000
tickets were sold and of which 16,730
were to draw prizes, the capital one
being a hotel which was to cost $50,
000. Tho prioe of the ticket was $7,
and the prizes ranged from $10 up to
the hotel. Nor need the student of
current morals and manners, depressed
by the laxity of our times, wholly
despond when he reflects that the lot
tery was made use of not only in the
building of our national Capitol, but
churches, schools, colleges, even Har
vard itself, were indebted to the wheel
of money to secure their usefulness.
In 1796 the president's house and
the Capitol were the only evidences of
a city where the traveler now sees
squares and monuments, edifices and
gardens and parks that eclipse Paris
and Vienna in beauty and taste.
When the lottery failed and the sums
voted by Virginia and Maryland gave
out, Washington was less of a city
than Cahaha, down in Alabama, which
was oooe the capital of that State and
was sold for taxes. Three hundred
thousand dollars were asked by the
commissioners to go on with the work,
and the country was distracted by
such profligate outlay. The press of
the time thundered against such ex
travagance.-Washington Times.
