THE MANNING TIMES. MANNING, S. C. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 22, 1891, TWENTY-THIRD S. C. V. The Terrible Sdferings and Heroic En durance of the Confederate Army in Virginia in the Winter of 1864-5. BY A sPROTr GUAP. Just after the artillery attacks alluded to in our last, we again made a strangc and disagreeable, as well as a useless move. The 23rd was ordered to move to the ice house. a house about a half mile in the rear of the works, as we thought for a little rest, having been so long in the intrenchments and hav ing performed so much hard duty. About 11 o'clock the 23rd was relieved from the trenches by some North Carolina troops. We marched to this "ice house" and remained there till about dark, when we were ordered to move back towards the trenches. After moving a short distance we found the 23rd had to commence a new line of intrench ments about a hundred yards in rear of the part of the works we had just left that day. A HARD AND DANGEnOUCS NIGHT'S wor. On reasehing the place the officers who were to superintend the work had to crawl about on thaic hands and knees, and feel about in the dark to find the stakes to direct the ereetion of the works. After everything or plan was understood the 23rd commenced work in the pitch dark, for the night was 'very dark, save the faint glimmering of the stars. We were now completely exposed to the fire of the enemy, for on this part of the lines and at these times the fire never ceas ed altogether, day or night. The Federal bullets were flying past and around u., the -whole time. We had to dig and throw the dirt from us, raising the works to the rear of us, being altogether between the Yankee bullets and the earth we were throwing up. 'We worked all night, quitting just as day .began to break. This night I will never forget. It was the night of Sept. 28th, 1864. For that night's work we had swveral men wounded. Co. I had two or three wounded, one mortally, who died a short time after wards. After daylight the 23rd was order ed back to occupy the part of the line it had left the day before, relieving the Nort a Carolina troops. What made it seem strange and unjust was that no other troops were -ever called upon to work on this line, nor was any more work ever done on them. The gallant old 23rd could ever be depended on to-do its duty, however, it made no differ ence to what thecall of duty led. . The 23rd held this part of the line till sometime in November, then moved abont a mile and a half higher upon the line to the right. Food now began to get very scarce indeed. About this time, November 1st, the sharp shooting in th. day in a m.as ure began to slacken on both sides, and the :troops could begin to move about without much danger. Sharp shooting was finally disecntinued in the day time, and the trops on both sides were no doubt glad. The bat teries of both sides kept up a pretty regular rfue all the time in the day, and occasionally at some time in the day the fire from the batteries along the whole line would be very rapid and would continue so for a good while, then it would slacken to that of a-fire at intervals of some minutes. : The 23rd again moved a little further to the right to a point of the lines near a large residence known as the Wilcox house. At this point the 23rd remained till after the m idtile of the next March. - CoLD ND EXPoSUIIE. The weather was now setting in cold, and .ine,n, lies. We had but little or no shel -tr andMi we had had the best and most .omfortable shelter under the sun we had not the tim'e nor the opportunity to stay under it. Men being scarce and duty being cntant gave us but a poor chance to avail orselves of any shelter, save the broad ennopy of heaven. The Federal main line 2~was about a mile or so from the Confederate main line at this point. The Confederate .icket line was about three-quarters of a mile from their main line. The Federal ~pieketline was some little distanee in ad 'aneof their main line. This brought the Confei'rate and Federal pickets within 300 siyrds of each other. mAnD DUTY. - Duty now became very hard. We had on -y men enough for a relief. It was picket duty,or better to say, watch duty, for it was to~ watch all the time. It was to remain on the picket line all night, being relieved er ery morning, making twenty-four hours on -the picket hine. In the day we could get a bittl sleep, but at night the order would be for noone to sleep. About a hundred yards n advance of the picket line we had vidette posts, where two men from a company would be detailed to remain four hours at a time, then be relieved by two others, and so n all through the night. Each company on'picket would have to keep up a post of this kind in its front. The videttes gener ally sat down close together, which we were allowed to do if we wanted to daring these four hours. We would often sit down as close to each other as possible in order to 'aid ua in'enduring the intense cold. Some times while sitting close, together it would esnowing, and by the time the four hours would-expire the snow would drift against Sus, and many times would be half as high as our heads. After the twenty-fours picket dinty we would be relieved and marched back to the main lines, and then some nmghts peroixt six hours guard duty at the in renchments. The next moraing back to the picket line, and on duty for twenty-four ~ours again. vEEGING oN STABvATIoN. In this manner and in this way duty was performed without intermission for five months. Rain, snow, sleet, or cold, it was all the same. The duty had to be done. But the most torturing part of the whole matter was we were simply on the ragged edge of starvation, reduced to the utmost -want, and had been for five months. Our raiosuall this time was a pint of corn meal .a day, and it not bolted. As to meat we received very little, some days we would get a third of a pound, and as a general thing it would be three days at a time we would get no meat of any kind. Some days a little salt and many days none. Most persons consider bread without salt in it poor eating; we considered it so too. This '~was not the fare of the 23rd alone, but the fare of Lee's whole army around Petersburg and Richmond during the whole of the winter of 1864-5. Sherman's terribieinarc-h -~of plunder and fire through Georgia and South Carolina, and Sheridan's destruction of the Virginia canal, had cut off tne sources of Gen. Lee's supplies, and this more than anything else caused the Confed rates to suffer so for food, and so the year 64 ended. A LIITLE REsT, sUCH AS ITs w.s. The year 1865 found the 23rd still in the ines or rather intrenchments, suffering for - pfod and performing its duty as usual near -the Wilcox House. Eiott's Brigade had now changed to Wallace's, Col. Wallace of the 18th 5. C. Volunteers having (on ac count of Gen. Elliott having to retire f'romi service on account of a wound he had re eeived at the 'uattle in front of Petersburg *July 30th) been promoted to the rank of Brigadier General, and from this time to thbe -:end of the strife the brigade wvas knoivn as Wallace's Brigade. We remained in the in trenchments till about March 20th At that time Gen. Johnston's divisi,>n was relieved frm the intrenchimeots to get a little rest, for it was now seen the struggle was soon to commence again. In leaving the intrenchments we marched about nine or ten miles from Petersburg to a mp some troops had stayed at sometime in the past. At this place we found somec rude cabins made of' pine pole1s with dirt chimneys to them. These cabins afforded us a good deal of protection, especially from the rains. Had we had any blankets wor th calling blankets we would have done very well, though we had to sleep on the ground, -for dirt floors were all the kind the cabins fored. With all this unpleasantness we found them better than the nuddy trenehes at Petersburg. Our rations though did not improve in amy way, or ncrease in <inanti. tv. It was t':0 sarme old starvation business here as it was in the trenches. sH IIAN s VANDisb..1. About this time Gen. William Teeun.;ehi Sherman was far on the way of Shermuan's memorable iarch to the sea, memorable for punder, arson, and imrrder. This valiant (God save the mark) American general with all the instincts of a brutal savage had now been for somuetime gratifXing his cowardly and savage feic- in destroying all hi. cowardly and vandal horde could not appro priate to their own use. I have recently read that Sherman's father had found some' thing great in the n:ture and eblraetCr of the savage Tecumseh, whose name is promui nent in American history for deeds of bar barity and cruelty, and naned his son for him, and it appea-s in his bing named af ter this hated savage it transmitted to Slier man in a good measure a great deal of the instincts and characteristics of that brutal and bloodthirsty savage, for on his march through Georgia and South Carolina he showed all these in many ways. Ie told the defenseless people through these States, so it has been asserted on good athority, that he would not only desnoy their prop erty then, but if the war eontinued a year longer he would return anl take their lives. Would the savage Tecumseh have said more? STAnVED AND OUTNU\MEEED, NOT DEFEATED. The Confederates around Richmond and Petersburg were aware of all this great Yan kee general's brutal and inhuman warfare. and this, coupled with the hardships they had to suffer, made the matter indeed hard to bear. Yes, and to be conscions of the fact that they had not the power to avenge these wrongs. Lee's army of not over forty thousand starved and ragged soldiers was confronted by a Yankee host ontnumbering them five or six to one. for it was e!ahiied by sonic of the Federals that Grant had an army of two hundred and twenty-se-ven thousand troops around Petersburg and Richmond, and this number had been well fed and well clothed all that hard and col" winter that the Confederates had snifere I so much through. It will always be reneut bered that when Gen. Grant in his expewri ence in several hard battles a while after the opening of the campaign of 1864 saw that he could not carry Lee's position by assault he fell to intrenching his vast hosts, and notified his authorities at Washington that he proposed to tight it ont on that line if it took all the sunimer. If when writing this part of his plan to his government he h:tl used the word starve instead of AigIt h would certainly have been entitled to be called a great general. Had the Confeder ates had the men and the chance generally they had two years before, Grant and his troops never would have been allowed to stay in these trenches all summer, for the Confederates would have put the last Yank out of the last ditch, and that in short or der. As it was they were not strong enough to carry on offensive operations, bt ha.] to act on the defensive. Under all these try ing disodvantages the Confederates still ihoped for the final success of their aruis, and the cause they so gallantly had upheld for now nearly four years. (rAND nEvIEw oF JOUNsON's DIvIsIoN. The few days the 23rd had been out of the trenches so passed, and the 24th of March had now been ushered in. On that day was ordered a review of Gen. Bushrod .Johnson's division. Johson's division was composed of the brigades of Gracie, Wise, and Wallace, Alabama, Virginia, and Sonth Carolina troops. At the appointed hour the 23rd was in line, and was soon on the field of review with the other troops of the di vision. The day was clondy, and the wind cold and cutting. The review lasted at least four honis, and after all the manonvres pertaining to a business of this kind were over the troops marched to their respective encampments tqnite late in the evening. We went on the review hungry, and after this manoLuvering for four hoars we left for oIr camp still Lungrier. We- had had noth ing to eat since the evening b~efore, and very little then. About sunset we managed to receive our scant rations. consisting of a pint of yellow corn meal and notbhng else, not even a little salt to put in the pint of mecal. By the time we had got this ration and before we had timue to cook it we were burg at a tmoment's notice. Tihat moment's notice was not long in reaching us.

Financiering in Georgia. Four or five of us were waiting on a hotel veranda in a Georgia town for the 'bus to drive up ,and take us to the depot, say-s the New York Sun, when a colored man caime along, drag ging after him about the meanest looking dog you ever saw. "What are you going to do with him ?" asked one of the group. "Kill him ,sah !" "But why ?a" "No good, sab." "T'hen sell him." "Can't do it. Nob~ody would dun take him." "I'll take him. Bring him right up here." .-Yui fooling, sahi." . "NIain't. Here, give himi to me, and here's a quarter for you." He tied the dog to a chair and ran over to a hardwvare store and bought a collar. Then he went to a dry goods store and got half a yard of blue ribbon, and in ten minutes the dog was blanketed up and bowed up until he did look f'ancy. I-e was taken to the depot in a 'bus, and we had scareely arrived when a wvhite man, who sat on a box whittling, came for war-d aind said: "W~hat ye got thar, stranger ?" "Chinese fog hound," replied our friend. "Shoo ! Never saw one before." "This is the only one in this coun try." "Cost a heap ?" "Given to me by the Chinese con sul at Washiugton, but I wish he had him back. He's so wild after game that he bothers the life out of me." "Is he all right for this climate ?" "O, yes." mGood natured ?" "A perfet baby." "How muchll buv him ? "Well-m. I never set any value on him. He's a present, and.[ sup pose I ought to keep him, but as he is a fox dog and this is a lox country some good man around here ought to have him." "Will you take $20 ?" "Umni Make it t wenty-five." I"Cant do it. Just got two tens here for the dog as he stands." "W\ell, I suppose you'll tuse him well, and it will be better for the do." We rolled away on the train as the purchaser headed for home with his dog. None of us could say a wvord for a long, long time. It was the seller who finally spoke first, and said: "Gentlemen, think it over, and be ready to namew y-our drink whien we reach Atlante.'' 1rEDDING INUITATIlONS AND VTcards, and all kiind~s of tine(, fancy'~, and columijercial prntin~g done proolitly at the Manning imes job oflice.

A J.wer-Houi:-:n Pi:.--.A famous pie mdle after the fashion of the one so celebrated in the memory of boys and girls is called the "Jack-Horner Pie," and offered to the happy guests of a children's birthday celebration. Count the number of lit tle ones invited, and select a tov for each. These favors of course must be sm'all, and it is best to have all cost about the samne. Wrap each :article earefully in wliite tissue paper, and tie it with a cord. Then attach to the enii of each cord a very narrow ribbon about teu inches long, a whilte one for the boys, a pink or blue for the girls. Have ready a large cake pan, and in it place the gifts. Over the top stretch several thicknesses of tissue paper, and tie it down over the edge of the pan. With a steel crochet-hook draw up the narrow ribbons through the tissue-paper cover, and let then lie loose and ready for action. Cover the outside of the pan with thick white paper at the bottom, and around the sides tissue-paper that has been crinkled by folding and crushing be tween the fingers. Make a deep fringe of the same and paste it around the top edge of the pan. When this has been carefully done, the effect will be that of a large white iced cake, with the unusual addition al adornment of the dainty ribbon edges on the top. When the time for dessert arrives, bring in the delicate pie and place it in the center of the table in the most conspicuous position. Let the children look and wonder, for there is quite as much pleasure in anticipation and guessiig as in the realization of such enjoyment. Now let the boys and girls draw together around the table and each take the end of a ribbon. Let somi one repeat or sing the time-honored aursery rhyme: "Little Jtek Horner Sat in the corner Eating h-- Christmas pie; He put in his thunb And pulled ont a plum, And said, 'What a great boy aw I!" When the singer comes to the word "lun" it is the signal for each child to pull-and all must do it with a wil. No one could imagine until seeing for herseif, what a vast amount of fu!; and excitement the little ones cau manage to evolve from the simple act of jerking an end of ribbon and the' delight and surprise at tLe mysterious packages that come bursting through the tissue-paper. The same pLan might be utilized for the amusement of older people, taking care to buy articles suited to their taste or faney. -Ladie' W1rW.

Big 3ioucy in ludsmiiii Tohbdeco. A short time ago the Herald re viewed the subject of tobacco raising and predicted that it was (destined to become one of the leading money crops in the Piedmont section. The Atlainta Constitution, in writing on the same line says: The Constitution has received a number of letters in response to an editorial on the culture of tobacco in this State, which appeared in these columns recently- These letters show that interest in the subject is wide spread; that the tobacco industry has taken firm hold in Georgia, and that tobacco growers in other States are greatly interested in the work which is being done here. Mr. H. E. Harmon, editor of the Southern Tobacco .Jou rnal, Winston, N. C., has had exceptional opportuni ties for studying the advantages of the tobacco crop over cotton, or any other crops that thrives in the South, and he writes to say that he is fully convinced ~tobacco will grow just as well all over the upper part of South Carolina and Georgia as anywhere in North Carolina or Tirginia. He says that he is certain that the culture of the weed in this State will prov'e a blessing to the farmers, and for their encouragement he gives the followving results of experiments madle in eight counties in South Carolina where to bacco is being grown successfully. Mr. F. M. Rogers raised 253,000 pounds of leaf on twenty acres, and the entire crop will sell for $t,000 or ov er. Mr. P. W\hipple planted ten acres and grew 1,500 pounds per acre. Sold erntire crop~ for over $200) per are, and this in his first year's ex perieuLce. Mr. D. M. Smnoot, of Darlington county, planted five acres and real ized $185 per acre for his crop. His yield wvas 1 ,240 pounds per acre. Mr. S. B. Sessions1 averaged 1,200 pounds per acre on his whole crop) and sold for 81 85 per acre. Mr. F. 31. Ro:gers. Jr'., grew 35,000 pounids on twenity-five aces,( the es timate value of wich is~ 80)001o 2;0 per acee Thec c(st of this~ crop was $2,150 all told. 2i'r. M. S.

Smoot makes a state profit of $125 per acre on his entire crop. Mr. H. T. Harilee on his first vear's 1rop of hiteen acres male a net profit of $700. It will be seen from the above that tobacco growing in South Carolina is no longer an expeliment, but a cer tainty, and it is conifidenitly predicted that in a few years the tobacco indus try will spread over that entire see tion, and becone the uost' rti i nnr dive of the, farmets' crops. The growers of Nortih Carolina are anxious to hear fro'n Georgia, and will (do what they can to :sist the farmers in this important work. To bacco growing is little more thani an experiment here ts yet, but if the in terest in it does not wanc we are convinced that it will yet enrich the farmers and the State.- ranhurg YoUNG WIVES !
