THE CONFEDER; Some Interesting and Unfamili For the greater part of the war between the states I had served iu the Cavalry branch of the Confederate Army, but on Jan. 15, '65, I was transHto X'oi'v Master's Mate, iCHUU IV tUV %m * J J with orders to report for duty as draughtsman to Lieut. Parker, Commanding the 8. C. School Ship Patrick Henry. To one who had been accustomed to army life, and had shared the hardships to which our cavalry had been exposed during the latter part of '64, aboard the Patrick Henry was a revelation of comfort. For instead of snowy fields, icy winds and insufficient food, I was assigned to a roomy-well furnished cabin with the ship's Gunner, ? Boatswain and Engineer as messmates a negro servant being furmsneu ai government expense to attend our calls and spread our table with such an abundanca and variety of food that it was difficult to realize that the wants and comforts of the Army and Navy were looked after by the same government. In a way, it was an agreeable change, nevertheless, sitting in the comfortable cabin by a glowing fire, 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 march. For I remembered with painful distinctness the positive suffering from cold and hunger experienced by ourselves and horses while I was yet with them. Formerly it had been our custom to go into winter quarters at the approach of cold weather; and, altnougn our supplies hail steadily declined since the first year of the war, we usually had enough. But when the cold winds, 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, J 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,! ability and genuine patriotism of our officers and men at the front had inspired me with an unwavering confidence as toj fiual results. But my walk a hmit Richmond revealed many things which tended to befog this pleasent expectation. Indeed, the city seemed to lack the courage aud devotion to the cause which fired the hearts of the army, and dangerous symptoms began to appear; for the ceaseless tinkering of our statesmen with financial, commissary and other momentous questions 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 sohuId be no more. On the 13th of March, 65, orders were received to dismantle the ship of its engines and every thing of value; according, the bold was emptied of its contents so as to be sent ashore the next day, the rumor being that every thing was to be forwarded somewhere further south, where we also were to go and be assigned to certain vessels that were awaiting us. 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 purposely; but, although it was known to contain considerable money, no time I was spared to recover it; a fact whicb I hinted strongly at hurry orders from some one who knew the gravity of the situation better than we did. While this was going on, what seemed 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 iu harmony with our wishes and see strong confirmation in every pleasant circumstance that may chance to enliven our surroundings. The second day of April a beautiful Sabbath morning-the hum of business had been hushed and the church bells were ringing while the sun gilded every object with a peaceful--, reassuring smile. But, about 1 or 2 p. m. the midshipmen, sailors, i?J J axakit ATIQ Ka. anu, mueeu, uKtxny ocy longing to the ship were supplied with guns aud 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 people and wagons hurrying to and Iro. Things 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 aud 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 of calamity. The hnvpa 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 official 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 the specie or a part of it, into the deep water. Afterwards, I Ko in onnuoriiofiftll Wl'fll UUaiiV/CU wvy w iu wufviuMvivu ?.?M the treasury official aud remarked: "What a chance that was at Dauville to lpwer the specie into the river." For a moment he made uo reply aud 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 euemy, even if we are caught." Aud, judging by subsequent events aud 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, \TE TREASURE. . ar Facts Concerning its Fate. J it was said,) we started southward, and reached (Jreeusboro, X. (J., about suuset. While stopping for ;i supply of wood and water, a considerable number of soldiers, who may have beeu convalescent inmates of a hospital or stragglers, gathered about our train. Their actions seemed to be prompted by idle curiosity, but when we had steamed away about a hundred yards we understood their intentions better ; lor they had detached the hindmost car, which contained a -j part of the specie. Seeing what was J up, steam, was reversed and we quickly got back, just as the mob was about |climbing iuto the car; which, however, they thought better of when ' I they saw fifty ritles leveled at them, f Without further incident, we reached Charlotte, X. C., where 1 saw Pres. Davis for the last time. After depositing the Treasure in the Mint and the boxes, &c, in another building, we were assigned to a hotel where we ? were well entertained for a few days, " until a disquieting rumor caused us to again take charge of the Treasure and V KVsittt ( 'hu rlrif tu sltul li'l v/ucatc;!, kj* v>. jl i\;ih vu?i iww Mrs. Pres. Davis, her children and her sister, Mrs. Howell, were of our party. As it was the intention to go across the couutry from Chester to a railroad leading to Abbeville, about forty miles, the Treasure was transferred from the cars to a train of wagons ; and, aa well as I can r tmember, the trip was made in two days. At the end of the first day we camped near an old church, which Mrs. Davis, her children and sister occupied during the night. The next day, a while after dark, we reached Abbeville where Mrs. Davis and party, aud her brother, midshipman Jell*. Howell, bade us good-by. According to rumor among us, it had been the intention of those in control to deposit the Treasure in the vault of a bank at Abbeville, but that the authorities of the town had objected, fearing that it might be the occasion of attracting a raid from the Federal cavalry. Be this as it may, after remaining a day or so, the Treasure was again loaded into wagons, as at Chester, and transported across the county to Washington, Ga., forty-five miles, if I remember. The next morning after our arrival, we took the railroad and readied Augusta, *j>a., me aueruoou <n _ the same day. At Augusta our traiu stopped near a freight depot where i were a number of tracks, along which . was a quanity of cord wood. For several days or a week the train remained here, guarded by a heavy detail of midshipmen. In the mean time a body of infantry, known as the "Galvanized Yankee Brigade," made up of deserters from the Federal army, caused much anxiety by encamping alongside of us for the sake of the wood for their camp fires. But during their couple days stay, I feel confident they never suspected the nature of our freight, otherwise _ they would not have hesitated to overpower us and help themselves. Though we were guarding millions, the most of us were not only penniless, but so short of rations as to make it necessary for each one to cater for himself as best he could. Nor were those who had a little money much better off than those who had none, J for so greatly bad it depreciated that it was necessary to count out one hundred dollars in Confederate money to pay for a dinner at a hotel?even then, noiita r>r Ipsa in snem'fi would have beeu much preferred. Shortly after our arrival at Augusta, rumors begau to reach us that both Generals Lee and Johnson had surrendered; but, as telegraphic and railroad communication had been so much interrupted, it was impossible to learn the truth. Nevertheless, as each later report seemed to de confirmatory, the hopeful began to despond, and very ? soon mauy of our party were ready to 1 believe that our cause was lost. When matters had reached this poiut, several midshipmen in my hearing discussed the propriety of organizing a body from our number to seize upon (] the Treasure, arguing that we were more entitled to it thau the euemy, who would be certain to capture it if _ we did not; but the doubt as to the I fate of the Confederacy and the fear of killing some of their frieuds, 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 J success of their cause, looked like madness; yet, as matters theu were, it was the best that could be done, for ILlu rvuguaia umv/iaio?ow u *?ao oaiu ? had 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 had already scented 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 subsepuently, to Abbeville, 8. C., where I last saw the Treasure, it then being my impresion that former objections had deeu set aside and it had 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 couutry 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 seeming to be in doubt about Gens. Lee's and Johnson's surrender. We i had been on short rations, and as some hours would elapse before a freight traiu 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 of northern manufacture, which cbauc6 had thrown in our way. When ready, we lost no time in commencing, and Craig in a happy state of mind exclaimed : , "Ah boys, isn't itjust delightful!" a sentiment Trent and I cheerfuily ap- proved. But after we had eaten very heartily and were about done, Craig 3 spoiled every thing by taking up thai I part of the cake that was left and hope- I fully remarking that it would last ] until we reached home ; for just then some fragments fell from it and commenced crawling; and, on examination, the cake was found to be literally _ alive with worms. It was a rude awakin<r. and Trent's face turned quite pale while his stomach seemed "ready to throw up its commission. At Charlotte, N. C., we found a Fed- \ eral paroliDgofficer, and realizing that the jig was up, to avoid further trouble we availed ourselves of his services and proceeded to Burkeville.
