THE CONFEDER;
Some Interesting and Unfamili;
For the greater part of the war be-1
tween the states I had served iu the
Cavalry branch of the Confederate :
A pm\r hnt r>n .Tan. In. 'fi5. I was trans-I
ferred to the Navy, as Master's Mate,
with orders to report for duty as
draughtsman to Lieut. Parker, Commanding
the S. C. School Ship Pat- 1
rick Henry.
To one who had been accustomed to
army life, and had shared the hard- i
ship8 to which our cavalry had beeu i
exposed during the latter part of 'G4, i
aboard the Patrick Henry was a revela- |
tion of comfort. For instead of snowy i
fields, icv winds and insufficient food, |
I was assigned to a roomy?well fur- (
nished cabin with the ship's Gunuer, (
Boatswain and Engineer aa messmates i
a negro servant being furnished at
government expense to attend our calls (
and spread our table with such au abundanca
and variety of food that it j
was difficult to realize that the wants [
and comforts of the Army and Navy i
were looked after by the same govern- i
ment. In a way, it was an agreeable y
change, nevertheless, sitting in the t
comfortable cabin by a glowing lire, I ?
often felt ill at ease as I thought of the ]
poor fellows-my late comrades--who ?
were even then braving the worst of
weather in their weary,--never ending t
march. For I remembered with pain- ]
ful distinctness the positive suffering ,
from cold and huuger experienced by /
ourselves and horses while I was yet t
with them. t

go into winter quarters at the approacii
of cold weather; and, although our supplies
had steadily declined since the
first year of the war, we usually had
enough. But when the cold wind*,
laden with sleet and snow piped their
melancholy dirges over the desolate
wastes of Old Virginia in the latter
part of '64, they caught our cavalry
without shelter or necessary supplies
for men and horses; for in most cases,
the producer had shouldered his gun
or buckled on his sabre, so that his
fields had been left a conquest to weeds
and brambles, thus compelling us to
take the road each day in search of
food- often without success.
My duties being light, I now had
time to watch the trend of affairs; and,
to gratify this fancy, I frequently
availed myself of my privilege of
spending a portion of the day ashore.
Though we had been reduced to such
dire straits in the army; the courage, t
ability and genuine patriotism of our ,
officers and men at the front had inspi- ,
red me withan unwavering confidence (
as to) fiual results. But my walk a j
bout Richmond revealed many things ,
which tended to befog this pleaseut ex- |
pectation. Indeed, the city seemed ,
to lack the courage and devotion to (
the cause which fired the hearts of the (
army, and dangerous symptoms begau }
to appear; for the ceaseless tinkering ,
of our statesmen with financial, commissary
and other momentous ques- j
tions was alarming the public and
playing directly into the hands of |
soulless Shylocks who multiplied like .
maggots as they hastened to gorge
themselves ere the Confederacy sohuld |
be no more. j
On tbe 13th of March, 65, orders j
were received to dismantle the ship of |
its engines and every thing of value; (
according, the hold was emptied of its |
contents so as to be sent ashore the j
next day, the rumor being that every j
thing was to be forwarded somewhere ,
further south, where we also were to go f
and be assigned to certain vessels that \
were awaiting us. I
The first of April was a busy day
sending things ashore. In the haste, a ,
money safe fell splashing into deep (
water, doubtless done by the men pur- (
posely; but, although it was known to (
contain considerable money, no time |
was spared to recover it; a fact which |
hintea strongly at hurry orders from j
some one who knew the gravity of |
the situation better than we did. s
While this was going on, what seem- ]
ed to be good news reached us from ,
Petersburg, but no one could say just ,
what had happened, or who was re (
sponsible for the rumor; nevertheless, |
it was understood that Gen. Lee had ,
gained a brilliant victory. How easy ,
it is to believe that which is in harmony
with our wishes and see strong
confirmation in every pleasant circum- (
stance that may chance to enliven our ,
surroundings. The second day of April (
a beautiful Sabbath morning-the hum |
of business had been hushed aud the ,
church bells were ringing while the |
sun gilded every object with a peace- ,
ful--, reassuring smile. But, about 1 J

and, indeed, nearly every one be- ,
longing to the ship were supplied with
guns and marched up into the city ,
to a vacant tobacco factory. The
move was so sudden and unexpected
that we were at a loss to know what it
meant; and what was yet more supprising,
the streets that had lately
been so quiet were each moment
thronged, more and more, with peofle
and wagons hurrying to and tro.
hings had a strange- weird look,
and I felt oppressed by by a sense
coming of evil; but it did not occur to
me that we were about to evacuate
the dear old city around which and
' for which so much precious blood had
been shed. As the day wore on, hurry
and confusion increased; municipal
authority was at an end, stores were
robbed with impunity, the gutters ran
with liquor and the city was at the
mercy of a drunken-, howling mob of
brutes, such as are to found in every
community, ready and eager to prey
upon the unprotected in times 01 calamity.
The boxes, trunks, &c that had been
brought from the Patrick Henry had
been sent to the Danville depot,
whither we went at a later hour and
climbed to the tops of some box cars,
a part of a train that was next to
the last to leave the city. We now
understood that the midshipmen had
been armed that they might act as a
guard over the Confederate Treasure,
which occupied the cars we had
mounted, and which was in the immediate
charge of a. treasury ollicial
and his assistants. It was generally
believed that the Treasure consisted
of eleven millions in gold and silver, ,
besides quite a large amount of state
money and bales of Confederate currency.
We arrived at Danville sometime
during the night and our train stopped
on the bridge until morning; a fact
that aroused my suspicion, for under
cover of the dark night it would be
easy to lower ttie specie or a pari or u,
into the deep water. Afterwards, I
chanced to be in conversation with
the treasury official and remarked:
"What a chance that was at Danville
to lower the specie into the river."
For a moment he made no reply and (
seemed somewhat disconcerted; but (
presently he gave me a significant
look, and said: '"Oh, we'll see that not
much money is gotten by the enemy,
even if we are caught." And, judging
by subsequent events and various
reports, his words were verified.
After remaining in Danville a few
days, during which Pres Davis drew a
considerable amount of gold from the
Treasure, (a hundred thousand dollars,
VTE TREASURE.
ir Facts Concerning its Fate.
it was said,) we started southward
aud reached Greensboro, X. C., aboul
sunset. While stopping for a supply
of wood and water, a considerable
number of soldiers, who may have
been convalescent inmates of a hospital
or stragglers, gathered about out
train. Their actions seemed to be
prompted by idle curiosity, but when
ive had steamed away about a huniredyards
we understood their intentions
better; for they had detached
:he hindmost car, which contained a
:>art of the specie. Seeing what was
jp, steam, was reversed and we quickly
got back, just as the mol> was about
jlinibiug into the car; which, however,
they thought better of when
they saw fifty rifles leveled at them.
Without further incident, wc reached
Charlotte, N. C., where I saw Pres.
Davis for the last time. After depositing
the Treasure in the Mint and the
5oxes, etc, in another building, we
?vere assigned to a hotel where we
.vere well entertained for a few days,
intil a disquieting rumor caused us to
igain take charge of the Treasure and
,iopf fnr(! From Charlotte
Mrs. Pres. Davis, her children and her
lister, Mrs. Howell, were of our party.
As it was the intention to go across
he country from Chester to a railroad
eading to Abbeville, about forty
niles, the Treasure was transferred
rom the cars to a train of wagons ;
ind,aswellas I can remember, the
rip was made in two days. At the
;ud of the tirst day we camped near an
)ld church, which Mrs. Davis, her
children and sister occupied during
;he night. The next day, a while
ifter dark, we reached Abbeville
ivhere Mrs. Davis and party, and her
irother, midshipman Jeff. Howell,
Dade us good-by. According to rumor
imoug us, it had been the intention
)f those in control to deposit the
Treasure in the vault of a bank at
Abbeville, but that the authorities of
:he town had objected, fearing that it
aiight be the occasion of attracting a
raid from the Federal cavalry. Be
:hisas it may, after remaining a day
)r so, the Treasure was again loaded
nto wagons, as at Chester, aud transported
across the county to Washington,
Ga., forty-five miles, if I remember.
The next morning after
>ur arrival, we took the railroad and
reached Augusta, Ga., the afternoon of
:he same day. At Augusta our train
stopped near a freight depot where
were a number of tracks, along which
kvas a quauity of cord wood, for several
days or a week the train remained,
tiere, guarded by a heavy detail of
midshipmen. In the mean time a
Dody of infantry, known as the "Galvanized
Yankee Brigade," made up
af deserters from the Federal army,
caused much anxiety by encamping
ilongside of us for the sake of the
ivood for their camp fires.
But during their couple days stay,
[ feel coufident they never suspected
the nature of our freight, otherwise
:hey would not have hesitated to overpower
us and help themselves.
Though we were guarding millions,
[he most of us were not only penniless,
but so short of rations as to make
t necessary for each one to eater for
aimself as best he could. Nor were
hose who had a little money much
setter off than those who had none,
:or so greatly had it depreciated that
;t was necessary to count out one hunIred
dollars in Confederate money to
Day for a dinner at a hotel?even then,
Ifty cents or less in specie would have
jeen much preferred.
Shortly after our arrival at Augusta,
rumors begau to reach us that both
jenerals Lee and Johnson had surrendered;
but, as telegraphic and railroad
communication bad been so much interrupted,
it was impossible to learn
the truth. Nevertheless, as each later
report seemed to de confirmatory, the
iiopeful began to despond, and very
soon many of our party were ready to
believe that our cause was lost. When
cuattershad reached this point, several
midshipmen in my hearing diseased
the propriety of organizing a
body from our number to seize upon
the Treasure, arguing that we were
more entitled to it thau the enemy,
who would be certain to capture it if
we did not; but the doubt as to the
fate of the Confederacy and the fear
af killing some of their friends, put an
end to the scheme. To risk so much
treasure from day to day in box cars,
guarded by a few midshipmen at a
time when meu were despairing of the
success of their cause, looked like
madness; yet, as matters theu were, it
was the best that could be done, for
the Augusta officials?so it was saidhad
refused to receive it, fearing like
those of Abbeville that it might draw
upon them a raiding party. Indeed,
as there was a rumor that such a body
bad already f-cented the tempting
prize and were rapidly advancing,
their objections seemed reasonable.
And I think it was this piece of news
also which caused our return to Washington,
Ga., and subsepueutly, to Abbeville,
S. C., where I last saw the
Treasure, it then being my impres
ion that former objections had deeu
set aside aud it bad been allowed to
be placed in the vault of a bank.
At Washington, two midshipmen
(whom I will call Craig and Trent,)
and I, received from Lieut.Parker "indefinite"
furloughs with orders to report
our whereabouts to the Secretary
of the Navy. So, instead of stopping
at Abbeville with our friends, we
started for our homes in Virginia. After
a tiresome walk across the country
we reached Chester where were a number
of freight cars loaded with shells
and other army stores which were being
hastily destroyed?no one here
sseming to be in doubt about Gens.
Lee's and Johnson's surrender. We
had been on short rations, and as some
hours would elapse before a freight
train would be starting for Charlotte,
N. C\, we prevailed upon a lady to
make us some soup from a good-sized
cake of compressed vegetables ofnorthern
manufacture, which chance bad
thrown in our way. When ready, we
lost no tirnein commencing, and Craig
in a happy state of mind exclaimed :
"Ah boys, isn't it just delightful!" a
sentiment Trent and I cheerfuily approved.
But after we had eaten very
heartily and were about done, Craig
spoiled every thing by taking up that
part of the cake that was left anil hoptfully
remarking that it would last
until we reached home; for .just then
some fragments fell from it and commenced
orsiwlintr! and. on examina
tion, the cake was found to be literally
alive with worms. It wasa rude awaking,
and Trent's face turned quite pale
while his stomach seemed ready to
throw up its commission.
At Charlotte, N. C'., we found a Federal
paroling ollicer, and realizing thut
the jig was up, to avoid further trouble
we availed ourselves of his services and
proceeded to Burkeville, Va., on the
top ot box cars which swarmed with
Federal troops inside and out. Nor
were we very long out of sight of U.
S. camps from Greeusboro to Burkeville.
