PRISON HELLS In Which Captured Confederate Soldiers Were Confined \ DURING CAPTIVITY. ' The Personal Recollection of An Old Confederate Soldier, Who Spent Some Time in the Prison un? 01 uie north During the War, Published in Reply to Corporal Tanner's Tirade. To the Editor of The News and Courier: I have read with feelings of disgust the article headed "Union Veterans Indignant," In The Sunday News of the 26 Inst. (Jorpl. Tanner said: "When the accursed soul of Capt. Wlrz floated Into the corrldorB of hell the devil recognized that his only possible competitor was there." This may be accounted for by the fact that Capt. A. Walker, provost marshal of the prison camt at Hart's iBland, N. Y., was still living. I can well remember, as a boy still in my teens, my arrival, at this pen in the month of March, 1895, after spending a time at Pollock Street Jail at New Bern, N. C. It was a fearfully cold, windy day, and when we reached the sheds, occupying three sides of a square and surrounded by the waters of Long Island, wo were delighted to find large heating stoves known as self-feeders, allowing one to each hundred men, and beside the door a ton of hard coal. Imagine our disappointment when, after a night of comfort, the next morning the quartermaster came and tore down every stove and removed every lump of coal. This was but the beginning, for in a few days we were ordered to full in with all of our effects, then place them before us upon the ground. What then? A non-commissioned officer started, and every keepsake ur uuj arucie or value, even to a pocket kntfo was stolen. This was the order of the commandant, A Walker, not Major Wirz. Every indignity was studied out that they might he heaped upon us. Push carts with pick and shovel were provided, and the men worked as convicts clearing stone from parade ground. All of this was done with the plenty to eat referred to by Corpl Tanner. I well remember at daybreak one morning after being up all night with my friend, Alick De Choisey, Marlon Artillery, going to the well in the middle of parade ground for a drink of water, an old soldier, I forget his name, was a few steps in front of me. Without a word of warning we were fired upon and the old soldier fell dead. When 1 reached tno barracks and ofTered the water to my friend, Alick, 1 found him dead. Also, we had a hospltnl, but our poor fellows were allowed to remain in their bunks until they were so weak that many died in being carried to it. Corpl. Tanner BayB we gave them plenty to eat. He certainly must be an ascetii. For his information, our bill of lure was, oue-ttair loaf of baker's bread and six ounces of salt beef in the morning. At twelve o'clock pea soup, sometimes English split peas. I will give the prescription: Take a drinking tumbler of warm water, add three teaspoonfuls of pulverized sulphur and stir it well; you have the soup. The bill, of fare was sometimes changed, and we received four hardtack and a small piece of holled beef, and at twelve o'clock Boston bean soup, they told us. but if you took a piece of gause and strained it you could not find the skin of a bean to a gallon. This is the plenty that we were required to live upon, except on one occasipn when an army wagon load of green mutton was hauled in which, if eaten, would have finished a few thousands of our brave boys, but our head doctor, who, by the way, was at Fort Moultrie before the war. and was a friend of the Kev. Vhitford Smith, sent it out and we had no meat. Compare Wirz with Walker. Why, if the devil knew Walker was coming he would have evacuated hell before he came in sight. Major Wirz let the Northern prisoners have their boxefc sent by friends. None ever entered our prison without being rifled or robbed, and few even then. I know this from the fact that I was at the provost marshal's office as a clerk with in, friend, Jesse Colton Lynes, and saw it almost daily. Well, I think we left near 300 dead thprn in three months. I, at least, was not In the emaciated condition referred to by Corpl. anner, for I weighed 140 pounds, and when I reached home I weighed only 95. So much food did not agree with me. Mr. Sherman, no doubt, in his inarch and pillage, found sufficient food from the simple fact that he robbed women and children and left them to starve. If the one hundred and odd thousand emaciated Confederate soldiers that were so well fed in Northern prisons had been released he never would have, disgraced this country by such a march and the noble women of tho Confederacy could have placed any inscription on their monuments without giving ofTence to the Orand Army of the Republic. Children unborn during the war are men now. I,et us speak the truth. Respectfully, C. P. Stelnmeyer, 106 Beaufaln street, Charleston, January 27. Negro Killed in Manning. Walter Davis, colored, was killed at Manning Friday night at a negro dance, although there were quite a number in attendance no one seemed to know how the killing was done. The coroner empanelled a jury and the testimony was heard, but the Jury thought it advisable to postpone its findings. t SHOT BY A NEGRO. I A Young Whlto Man is Seriously A Wounded In a Row. Mr. Walter Boy Irs ton. While on Hl? A Way Home From this City, Has an Altercation With Isaac Glover. Mr. Walter Boyleston, a young white man about twenty years of fi age, was shot and perhaps seriously h wounded at ha 7-past 6 o'clock Tues- h day night by Isaac Glover, a negro si who had been employed on the sew- c< er work now In progress In this city. 11 The shooting occurred just on the other side of the EdiBto River, about 81 a mile"from* Orangeburg, while Mr. ll w Boyleston was on his way home from C) the city. There is evidence of only ai one shot having taken effect, and cl from whal can be learned no others w were flred. The ball entered at the t( bottom of the neck Just above the junction of the collar and breast tl bones. 11 Soon after the shooting the wounded man was brought into the city and . taken to the Wannamaker Manufac- ^ turing Company's Drug Store, where d an examination was made by I)rs. D. D. Salley and L. C. SI ecut. It was deemed advisable to send Boyleston n, to the Columbia Hospital on the eight n o'clock train, and hence the doctors did not have time in wihch to make 11 a thorough examination to locate c< the ball. h' Up to the time for leaving for ai Columbia Boyleston was cheerful and the loss of blood did not seem 1,1 to have affected his strength to any extent. He was conscious the whole c< time, and was willing to, talk about 11 the affair as much as the doctors ^ wmilfl nllr*w him nn n<i/*/vnn# ^ *' ~ uncertainty of his real condition l' and the possibility of his being fatal- J ly wounded. ? It was thought best to have Boyleston make an ante-mortem state- ^ ment, which, ufter it. had been writ- d ten down, he signed in the presence b of a number of witnesses. The state- b ment is substantially as follows. ^ "I was going home in my buggy ^ alone and had just crossed the first bridge on the causeway beyond the A river when I hollered, 'Heigh,' Just e for fun; I did not see the negro, who was coming from the opposite direc- d tion on foot. Just as I hollered the h negro cursed me and dated me to S get out of the buggy. I got out and s went towards the negro and asked d him what he meant. We clinched a and the negro pushed me into the S ditch and fired. I had a 28-calibre ti pistol in my hip pocket, but made no R attempt to draw it. My pistol was h not in my pocket after the shot was b fired. I saw no one until Mr. Wm. t! Hartnett and Mr. Lowery drove up." Mr. Hartnett says that he passed w in his buggy and saw Hoyleston and o the negro rowing and after driving h a little further he heard one shot. He turned around and came back f' towards the city and found Boyles- o ton in the ditch with a bullet wound t< in his neck. w Ho put the wounded man in his ? buggy and brought him to town for medical attention. *fh Hoyleston says also that if thekn negro used his (Boyleston's) pistol h he doesn't know how he got it, but r thinks it must have fullen from his u pocket when he fell. He said that the negro appeared to him to be a drunk. s The police immediately commenced d a search for Glover. They were in- y formed by a young brother of the fi negro who did the shooting that P Glover stated that he shot with o Boyleston's pistol and was going to h Sheriff Duke's to take the pistol and V surrender. This he did at 1 1 o'clock w that night and was placed in jail. He also delivered up a 2S-calihre t< Smith & Wesson pistol. o Young Boyleston is the son of Mr. tl John A. Boyleston, a prominent far- o mer living just a few miles from ? town. He has been employed in the o city and is considered a quiet and e peaceable young man, and his friends h hope that his wound will not prove 1 serious. We take the above account ri of the trouble from the News and h Courier. It was furnished by the ll Orangeburg correspondent of that t< paper.?Orangeburg Times and Democrat. u t( THJKYK8 RIFLED SAFE Ami Got Nearly One Hundred Thousr and Dollars Out of It. The Columbia Record says three young men of the Olympia mill village?Claude Luwhorne, Marshall n Parker and Tom Grimsley?are In the county jail, charged with breaking into the store of Magistrate S. I. l< Kiley on the Bluff road, and taking n from the safe the sum of $876 leav- n ing behind the amount of $74.50 P in silver. Lawhorne has been em- s* ployed at the store as a salesman K for about eight weeks. R He saw the money counted out ? and deposited in the safe Saturday o! evening and admits having had in his 1 possession a slip of paper bearing the combination of the safe. w During fair week Mr. Riley lost a bunch of keys, containing, among 11 others, the keys to the door of the ni store. Sunday night, as he was starting to church, these keys were brought to him by Marshall Parker, | who claimed that he and Tom Grims' ley had found them near the reservoir. T Mr. Riley pocketed the keys and went on to church. When he got Imck home he was informed by Lawhorne that during the evening some- w one had entered the store, unlocking u the side door, and had robbed the m safe of $876. gaining entrance to n< the strong box by operating the com- w. bination, instead of blowing it open or yeggmen fashion. ar " m 9 m * DESERTS HUSBAND nd Marries a Very Old Man In New York City. . Colored Woman From Orangeburg Figures In a Queer Marriage Ceremony Up North. It seems that a colored woman om Orangeburg has taken one husand too much, which may get her 1 trouble. The following Is the lory as It is told by the New York )rrespondent of the Washington ierald: City Clerk Scully got the biggest urprise he has had since he went ito the marriage license business hen an aged negro, dressed in cleriil garb walked up to the desk this fternoon with a young negro woman tinging to his urm, and said he anted to get a license just as soon 3 possible, because he was in a hurry ) be married. Clerk Scully took no interest when le old person gave his name as Wilam Brooks Mason and said he was a ergyman, but when on being asked is age, he said. "I am 138 years Id, and can show you my Bible at ome to prove it," the city clerk ropped his pen in astonishment. "This is a serious thing," the clerk lid, "You know you're under oath, rother Mason, and if you don't tell ie the truth about your age, I may jfuse to give you the license." "Say, brother." replied the clergylan, '"how do you-all suppose 1 juld have held George Washington's orse at Yorktown if I ain't as old 3 I say 1 am?" The crowd of waiting applicants egan to grow so large at this stage lat Clerk Sculy filled out the 11?nse and let it go at that. The wo ian gave ner name as Ella Mines, of 8 West 122rd street, and said she as twenty-eight years old. Then le couple hunted up Alderman .las. . Smith, and were married in short rder.

Mines, who was running the lount Calvary Union Baptist mission 1 the front part or on the second oor, did not appear greatly pleusd. "So she said her came was Mines id she," Mrs. Hines said. "Well, she as got no right to use that name, he's already married, she is, and he's got a husband and two sisters own in Orangeburg, S. C. I've been fraid she was trying to get that old entleman, and I've been trying to all him all about her, but I didn't et a chance to correct him. My usband was going to tell him, too, ut, ho's kind of slow and didn't hink it was coming so soon. "Lord bless you, I don't know whether Elder Mason is 138 years Id, but ho says he is. We didn't now him until two weeks ago." When Brother Mines arrived home rom work late in the afternoon, he xpressed himself in no uncertain erms about the marriage. "You just ait until I see Elder Mason," said Irother Mines. "He's a religious man. and I know ow to talk to him about marrying ly sister when she's already got a usband and family.

Meeting and Talking With Spirits of Living and Dead. Prof. Baer, of Berlin University, Says During Sleep Our Spirits Wander About Heaven and Earth. The mind has a back door. The brain has often been called the house of the mind. One should not be surprised to learn that it has a back door, like other houses. It is through this exit that the soul escapes in the silent hours?in the hour when we are in the strange death-like condition which we call sleep. At such times it roams ubroad in search of adventures, and frequently it finds very curious and even astonishing ones. In sleep we pass out of the body into a wonderful region, with which in our waking moments we are not at all acquainted. What and where is this region, and who are the people who inhabit it. Such questions are most interesting, and now for the first time comes forward a wise man who ventures to answer them. The wise man's name is Professor Moritz Baer, who occupies the chair of phycho-physics In the University of Berlin. He says that the mysterious country which we visit in our dreams is the Hereafter, and that the people we meet there are in reality ghosts. Some day. after we are dead, we may come to know them better. Each day of your existence on earth, says Professor Baer, may be regarded as a life in miniature. Night comes, and you die?temporarily. The whole term of your survival in the world is a series of little life-times, interrupted by brief periods of seeming death, which we call sleep. The likeness of sleep to death has been the subject of a vast deal of philosophical comment. Dutit is much closer and more striking than is generally imagined. When you fall into slumber, your eyes turn upward, your heart-beat slackens, your pulse becomes feebler, and your breathing slows down. Your condition, in a word, counterfeits death most remarkably. If the death were real, your soul would take its departure for good and all, never to return. But in this temnnrnrv Rlnto ?i.~ , J \UVWI uiup^ K.KJ lilt: theory of Professor Baer) It merely steps forth for a while, coming back when summoned by the waking consciousness. In the meantime it may traverse enormous distances; for the soul, or ghost, seems to be uncontrolled by mere physical limitations such as retard and impede the movements of the body. We often meet in our dreams poopie who, as we well know, have long been dead. Yet, somehow, we are not in the least surprised. We talk to them, and hear them speak, as if it were quite a matter of course. Why should this be so. Professor Baer says it is simply because ghosts are the most natural kind of persons to encounter in the country of non-living. It is in the realm of the Hereafter these people dwell; a realm in which (so Professor Baer believes) we must some day take up our own residence. It sems to be a country of shadows. But, unfortunately, the glimpses we get of it are too fleeting to enable us properly to judge. Or rather, it might be said that, for some reason not easy to explain, our waking memories of our experiences in that mysterious region are so feeble and indistinct, save in rare instances, that they serve only to puzzle and confuse nilr mftwle The dream folk, who dwell in the land beyond the threshold of waking consciousness, appear to be cheerful enough. If we can judge of the condition of the dead from what we see of them when we visit the strange country they inhabit, it would not seem that they are otherwise than happy. On the contrary, they are often merry; they talk pleasantly and sometimes most amusingly. It may be said that most of the people we meet in dreams are living individuals. Yes, undoubtedly, but not the Iving persons themselves. These likewise (says Professor Baer) are phantoms. For the living have ghosts as well as the dead. What we mean by a ghost Is the soul of a human being dead or alive, made visible to the eye. Such phenomena are rarely, if ever, obsberved, in waking moments, but in the silent, watches, when the spiritual self escapes through the back door of the mind and wanders abroad, they are so common as to be not even noteworthy. And, where the ghosts of the living are concerned, what more natural than that your phantom, or mine, when it slips out of the body and visits the region of the Beyond, should meet the spectres of other sleepng persons, likewise on the ramble? Most of the souls (if such we shall call them) that we encounter on these occasions are, as might be expected those of total strangers, but many are friends of our waking lives, and sometimes they are near relations. Doubtless. nrnfitat>i? changes of recollections in regard to such meetings might he made afterwards, between yourself and your neighbor Smith, for example, following a dream conversation in which you two engaged?were it not for the excessively fleeting and fragmentary character of such memories, which hasten to escape us even as we are trying to rcall them. One thing fairly certain is that the ghosts of the dead have no power to communicate with us, unless it he in dreams. If they possessed such power, they would undoubtedly exercise It; yet (putting aside all the phenomena of so-caled "spiritualism" as hopelessly discredited) they give us no opportunity of the kind, though we would so eagerly grasp it. Deep down in the human mind there exists a belief that the dead, generally speaking, are hostilo and dangerous to the living, llencc the f Jj fr?ic.4 V dread which will withhold not only a child, but almost any grown person of either sex from passing alone though a graveyard at night. Indeed. It Is safe to say that nothing iu the world, or out of It, Is regarded with such universal fear as a ghost?this too, notwithstanding the fact that no authenticated instance Is on record in which a specie or apparition of any kind did harm to a living creature. The super8tltutlon in question is doubtless an inheritance from our most remote ancestors, who believed that the dead were liable to assume the guise and role of malignant devils; but it seems strange that modern enlightenment should not have done away with so nonsensical a notion. Oddly euough, however, when in J our dreams we eucounter the ghosts | of the dead, we are unterritted. To do so, indeed, appears quite natural and a matter of course. For under such conditions the point of view is changed. We ourselves are phantoms likewise (according to Professor Baer), and we meet them, those others, on an equal footing. They are not afraid of us, and why should we be afraid of them? At the bottom of the gliost-fear is a dread of the mysterious, the tinknown and the intangible. Hut, when your soul has made a temporary escape through the mind's back door, it finds itself in a world where, as one might say, all the relations of things ure altered. It has arrived, so to say, behind the scenes, and (as under circumstances on the stage) the mystery becomes mere matter of course. Intangibility is normal in the realm of the Hereafter?especially, when oneself Is a part of it. Professor Daer advances his ideas ou the subject not as a statement of ascertained fact, of course?the matter being one respecting which exact knowledge is obviously impossible?but as a theory, which, he thinks, finds endorsement in definite and logical evidences. It is not practicable here, for lack of space, even to summarize these evidences, which are drawn to some extent from a study of what he calls the "anatomy" of dreams. His conclusions ?the essence of which lies in the theory that the dream life is in a certain sense a real life, and not merely a "magic lantern show," in which imagination uncontrolled, in fantastic colors, paints a multitute of slides"?may be put, as he offers them tentatively, in the form of questions: To begin with, what is this strange realm which we visit in our dreams? Professor Haer believes that it is actual, and by no means purely inaginary. it is not even an "undiscovered country," for we spend there no small part of our time limit. Hut where are we to suppose that it is located? Is it near or far away? Or are we to suppose that it is simply an invisible world, through which we unconsciously wander In our waking moments, inourgn uuaoie 10 discern the people (viewless under waking conditions) who inhabit It? Again, shall we, after we die, assuming in permanent fashion the ghostly state, ourselves become inhabitants of this mysterious country? And, if so, what will be our condition therein? Shall we be happy, 0* otherwise? In classical literature one finds again and again the idea, which the scientists seem to have persistently entertained that the souls of the departed suffer from a chronic meluncholy. Thus the heroes of the Trojan war, as Ulysses found them when he ventured into Hades, continually lamenting their lot, wishing that they were alive again. Hut has such a notion any proper basis? Professor Haer's belief is quite opposite. At all events, he deems it a mistake to believe that the ghosts we meet in our wanderings through the domain in the He/ond are pursuing, like the phantoms of Hector and Achilles which Odyssens met, an altogether aimless and vegetative existence. He thinks we may rather suppose that they have occupations of one sort, or another, useful in ways we know not of. If the wanderings of the ghost, in sleep are under any sort of control, it would be interesting to know by what they are directed. Nothing, seemingly, could be more haphazard. Scenes and incidents follow one another in no orderly sequence, apparently, and people come and go without any obvious rhyme or reason. Many dreams, of course, are very pleasurable, while others are far from agreeable and sometimes even terrifying. Hut. as Professor Baer suggests, there is no reason for supposing that in the region of the Hereafter?if his theory, identifying it with tho country we visit in our slumbers, be accepted?is a place devoid of unpleasantnesses. The ghost that walks in dreams, according to his idea, is none other than the subconscious, or secondary, self?the strange "double" which inhabits every one of us. doing much of our thinking for us, yet only in rare instances revealing itself in such fashion as to be distinguishable from the self we know and recognize. Considered from this point of view, the spectre of our nocturnal visions is extraordinarily interesting as a subject of study. What a pity that we cannot grasp it and study it at leisure* TORNAIK) IX TENNESSEE. One Man Killed, Several Hurt and i wo nomes iiestroyeu. A tornado swept over Pond Creek Valley.
