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. Va., 011 the J
top ot box cars which swarmed with b
Federal troops inside and out. Nor d
were we very long out of sight of U.
S. camps from Greensboro to Burkeville.
