Messages from Bishopville made it in cumbent on me, if at all possible, to visit there. Sherman's invading hosts had swept through Camden, and camping above B., where he remained several days. His "bummers" had taken advantage of his delay (to have corn ground before pro ceeding) and visited B. Their frequent visits had caused much distress; they de stroyed a vast deal besides. With Dr. G. Allen Huggins as my com panion, we visited B. On the third day, when we were to return to Manning, I was sick, had considerable fever. The Doctor and Dr. Holleyman were very positive that I should not attempt this trip of forty miles; but I was just as positive that I ought to go home, and it seemed out of my power to resist this purpose. I was "bent on going home," and we made the start. At Mt. Zion church, ten miles away, I found it necessaiy to stop, and I laid down in the portico of the church. The Doctor insisted that I return, but I thought if I traveled it should be in the direction of home, and so proceeded. It was a wearisome ride. When within eight or ten miles of Manning we were overtaken by a Confederate soldier--a courier-Col oiel Shingler's-from bumter, riding hard. He gave us "news"-IMPoRTANT news: "That a well equipped army of cavalry, artillery, and infantry, these largely of NEGoo TRoops, under command of General Potter, had left Georgetown and were mak ing their way through Williamsburg coun ty. It was their purpose to destroy all farming utensils, provisions, cotton, cot ton gins, in fact. EvERYTHING, and thus preveut a crop being made; that his orders were to notify the people cf their approach, an'd that every man sbould at once report to Colonel Connors in Manning." I now felt better satisfied at my seeming stub bornness and persistency in returning home. I was utterly prostrated on reaching home, and was borne to my bed. Drs. In gram and Huggins both visited me that night. The next day, April 6th, Thursday, the alarming news reached us that "the of ficers and a part of the crew of one of the enemy's gunboats, which bad made its way up the Santee river as far as "Wright's Bluff," had ridden across the country and had late in the night raided on Mrs. A. M. Davis's home, three miles away; that they had been accompanied by a rabble of ne groes and the premises had been searched and robbed of valuables and horses." This was all confirmed the next day in a note from Mrs. Davis, and with it a box con taining her husband's elegant uniform as Colonel of - iegiment in the county. He had passed away several years before. Accompanying the box was a life-size oil painting (bust) of Colonel Davis. She had learned that the Methodist parsonage in Rome, Georgia, had been protected by Sherman's order, and she hoped in my pos session these valuables would be unmolest ed. I had my doubts about this; but I was willing to do almost anything to serve this unselfish and devoted friend of ours. I had the box placed under my bed and the portrait conspicuously in the parlor, where I could see it as I lay in bed. A soldier at home from Virginia reported in the town that he had ridden around this negro army now approaching; that "it was a complete organization, and there were no stragglers." OUr ToWN ws MUCH EXCITED, many run ning to and fro as the fact was confirmed THAT IT WAS A NEGRO ARMY. What were we to expect at their hands ? Friday, April 7th, after night, my broth er-in-law, E. R. Plowden, and his brother Edgar came into my room. They carefully leaned their double-barrel guns in the cor ner and then expressed their regret at find ing me with fever, insisting that I must leave the town; that the emergency re quired this effort on my part." They in formed us that their orders had been that "when Potter's movements were positively known in any attempt to cross 'Brewington BridgE' (a considerable lake of water con nected with Black River) that they must destroy the bridgze and thus prevent them crossing into 'Salem,' where there we're very large cotton plantations; that being assured of this by his advanced guard, they had, unassisted, burned effectually this well-constructed structure, and we have forced Potter to come this way; he'll unquestionably come directly through th town." But I never in the hetj entered into their prei".; 'urgency to leave the in'~n. I thought it best from the begin fing to remain in the parsonage. On looking arcand they discovered the box containing the vecry elegant silver-mounted uniform (with it was the helmet, epaulets, red silk sash, and some other valuables). They expressed great surprise at these things being in the house, assuring me that if found by the enemy it would sub ject us all to severe treatment. And it will be all the worse for you if you are in bed. In fact they were proceeding to burn the box and its contents in the fireplace, as suring me that they knew Mrs. D. had not thought of all this or she would not have sent them to me to protect, and that rather than have us subjected to injury she'd thank us for destroying them."~ But I could not consent to their destruction. T1hey had exhausted every argament, and evidently under great apprehensions as to what was before us, they carefully took up their guns and parted with us. When .they left us alone, we re alized the anxiety for for us. It was not long after they left us that a young man (W. H.) came rushing in and assured us that "Potter was not far off, and if I wanted him to save my horse and buggy ?" "Of course, and this box," and with some val uables of our own he hurriedly drove to wards Sumter. It was a relief to us that he'e valuables Were gone, but I dreaded the readts upon my horse from his HARD diving over that sandy road of twenty mles, and how much further I could not tell. We were now alone, thera had been no tine allowed to prepare nourishment for ne of the doctors to come in and prescribe for me. 'There was a continued rumbling in the street and voices, What it all meant we could not learn. It was now getting late, and we heard calls at the door. I recognized the voice of Maj. P. G. Benbow. I hoped he'd come in, we wanted company; we wanted to know what was going on out of doors; if Potters hosts would reach the town before day, &c., &c. .Mrs. M. received Brother B's message. "Colonel Connors has sent his kind re gards, and informs you that Potter is steadily advancing; that he is retreating before him to unite his small force with others at Sumter, where they propose to resist his progress. He sends to ask if it is not possible for you to leave the town; THAT YOU ARE~ THE ONLY wHITE MA&N LEFT IN THE TOwN, and if you can't retire be fore him he is sorry to have to leave you and your family to the tender mercies of a negro army." ~I asked through Mrs. M.: "What may we next expect ?" "If you'll look towards the causeway, you'll see after awile the reddened heavens, for we are preared to burn the bridges and delay his progress as long as possible," and then the "good-be--g-o-o-d-b-y-e ! ling'ered in our ears. (It seemis to me that I can recall his tones now). It was not so pleasant to us. Mrs. M. anid the babe, a year old, and the two servents, to know that I was the only white man left in the town and at any hour. our streets would be crowded with negro soldiers. It was not very long before the work of destruction upon the bridges on the causeway was full under way, from the gare of the lires upon the heavens. The threatntng clouds, however, soon began to empty themselves in rain, and the fires were extinguished, and all was darkness and silence. But somehow I could not make it out otherwise than that the falling 'of the rain, and it dripping upon the piaz za, was the sound of "the drum and fife" of the approaching hosts, and twice the door was opened to assure ourselves that it was the rain. This was a restless, anxious night, and the morning dawned finding me sick with considerable fever, but the town was quiet and undisturbed. Sumter, S. C. [Continued.)
