MEMORIAL RECORD.
started for Richmond, where we arrived at seven o'clock P. M. After being divested of what few greenbacks they could find about my person, I was soon conducted to the real ' Hotel De Libby.' But as good fortune' would have it, neither Mosby's men nor the officers at Libby got all my money. I had some secreted about my person, and this I look upon as being one of those things that saved my life, because 'with money we could procure certain kinds of eatables.
I had not been accustomed to the life of a pedestrian, and the marching, with four sumptuous bills of fare, was more than I could endure, and was soon obliged to change my quarters and go to the hospital, where I remained nearly two months, when I again joined my comrades in Libby, and remained until the 7th of May following, when we were warned to be ready to march in one hour. We were then marched through some of the principal streets of Richmond, causing as much excite- ment among the citizens and colored population as did Presi- dent Johnson, the past summer, while 'swinging around the circle.' Many of them sneered and hissed at us, while others evinced kindly feelings and smiles of pity. We crossed the James river and were forced into miserable, filthy, cattle cars, and billed to Danville, Va., a distance of one hundred and forty miles, which took us about twenty-four hours. I will say a word here for our prison keepers at Libby.
Major Turner was the officer in charge. Dick Turner, whose name is so familiar, was his cousin and accomplice in all acts of ill-treatment. I will only say that Turner seemed perfectly ignorant of the words, ' kind ' and ' gentlemanly.' In fact, we doubted if he even knew their meaning. His prison orders were very severe, harsh and uncalled for. His instructions to the sentinels were to fire on any Yankee who might be stand- ing or looking out of the window. Of course the same order was published to us, and we took pretty good care, although several officers were fired upon and one poor fellow killed in- stantly. We felt then that could we take the life of either of these men, it would be no sin in the sight of God. At Dan- ville we remained but a short time. Our treatment here was a little better. From there we were sent to Augusta, and from there to Macon, Ga. Here we were put into an enclosure of from three to five acres, with nothing to protect us from the storm and hot sun, which at that season was quite oppressive.

We seemed to ourselves but little better than the brutes Our hopes of exchange and getting home seemed less and less, as we were getting farther away. We finally remonstrated at our treatment, and signed a petition as United States officers, demanding better treatment and something for protection. Whereupon, after a few days, boards were brought in, and we were allowed to construct roofs. We remained here till about the first of August, when, as Gen. Sherman was continually but slowly approaching Atlanta, they felt we were insecure, and we were sent to Charleston, S. C., and ordered to be kept under fire of Gen. Foster's guns, who was then bombarding Charleston. At first, as those three hundred shells came screaming over our heads, full of Yankee dash and vigor, we were not a little alarmed, but as time passed on and no one was injured, we thought there was a providence in it, and that Yankee shells were not intended to harm Yankee prisoners of war. And, strange to say, that during our captivity in that place, from August to Oct. 7th, under fire every day, not one of the 1400 prisoners present was harmed. As I now think of the many narrow escapes we had from those fearful shells, I am more and more impressed with the thought of our pro- tection by an overruling Providence. I recollect distinctly that one day a shell came into the room where we were, coming within a few feet of me, and much nearer some others; and many such instances I could relate. We were first confined in the city jail at Charleston, among all the robbers and murder- ers of the city, but afterwards occupied a building called Roper's Hospital, the most respectable and comfortable quarters we had received. I will here say that in Charleston we were more kindly treated than at any other place; the officers in charge seemed to possess more of the qualities of gentlemen, and in some instances manifested real kindness; in a few in- stances they came into our apartments and engaged in quiet conversation, many of them having the most foreign idea of the habits and feelings of the northern people. During the hottest time of the rebellion there was a Union league in Charleston which did much at one time and another for prison- ers.
In September, the yellow fever became epidemic, and in Oc- tober we were removed to Columbia, S. C., and turned out to pasture again, the same as at Macon, except that there was no

stockade around us, the guards being placed at intervals o: ten paces. The officers in charge there, I think, would have bettered our condition had it been in their power. But the au- thorities at Richmond, with Jeff. Davis as their leader, did not care to better the condition of the Yankees. Several werd shot in this place, some by trying to escape, and others by the impudence of the guards. This was my last place of bondage I was paroled from Camp Sorghum (as we called it) and ar- rived in Washington, Dec. 17th, 1864, having been a prisoner a little less than fourteen months."
