C •Boy, page Ripley! J. M. Patterson, Esq.; of Allendale, is responsible for this fish story: An Allendale fishermar. 1 was angling from the highway bridge over the Comba- hee River near Yemassee one day last week. He was really fishing for perch but raised no objection when a nice sized trout was hooked. In' his eagerness to land his prize, he gave his fishing cane a tremendous jerk, throwing the trout over his head. At the exact moment that the trout should hP.ve larded on terra firma, a tourist car passed over the bridge at the legal speed of some 45 miles an hour. The fish fell into the back of the automobile, the driver of which went blithely on his way, unaware of his good fortune and oblivious to the beseeching cries of the agonized and bereft fisherman. One can easily imagine the motor ist's astonishment when he beheld the makir/s of an excellent fish dinner calmly reposing on Hie rear seat of his car and hear in fancy the wonder ful tales he will tell of game fish jumping from South Carolina streams trio passing automobiles. War Reminitcenses By H. W. Jones During the months of June and July, 1854, the Union Army was making every effort to capture Pe^gpburg and Richmond. On the 16th of June our Brigade wag sent on a forced march from near Brumuda Hundreds to Petersburg as theenemy had attacked the city the day before. We arrtred there in the afternoon and were placed in the woods beside the rsil- road where the Yankees were shelling us. and where our Sergeant-Major was killed by a shell. We had frequent skirmishes for the next few days. We were put to digging and prepar ing breastworks, which extended from Malvern Hill near Richmond to Stoney Creek on the Weldon railroad, a distance of some forty miles. Our Brigade was stationed in front of Petersburg. In addition to our Bri gade there was also a Battery of four or five guns which was called Pegrams Battery. A body of troops had captured "Fort Pillow” in Tennessee and the troops had massacred the negro gar rison and this had greatly enraged the negro troops in other places. At this point our lines and the Union lines were only one hundred and thir ty yards apart. Early in July it was rumored that Burnside was digging a mine, and as a precautionary measure we were dig ging also to try to head them off. The mer employed in digging said they could plainly hear the sound of the picks of the enemy. As support for this Battery there was a rear line occupied by a portion of the 22nd Regiment which was in command of Colonel Fleming. . My boyhoodi friend, Charlie Milhous, was his orderly and occupied the same quarters with him. On the evening before the battle he brought his supper to where I was and said he had comp^$b eat supper with me, his quarters and mine being about a hundred yards apart. I never saw him again as he was blown up in the explosion. We did not have any pickets in front of our line a s it was too close the enemies’ line. I was put on vidette about 2 o’clock that night and re mained on watch until about 4 o’clock which was daybreak. Being tired and sleepy I fell down in a little traverse and was asleep at once, but I hadn’t slept more than a minute when the explosion came. Where we /were the earth cracked open from the shock of 13,500 pounds of powder which was said to be in the mine. To add to the confusion there was a great num ber of mortar and other cannon, said to be one hundred, which were dis charged immediately after the mine had been set off. The mort r shells began to rain over our heads, doing little dsmage except to keep back reenforcements. In this first charge there was a com pany of sharp shooters which occupied the crater wnere we could not *ee them, and they were shooting right down our line and playing havoc with the companies of the 17th Regiment next to the crater. General Elliott teeing the situation placed himself at the head of the 26th Regiment to try to drive out these snipers. He had barely gotten to the crater when he wag shot down. He was placed on a stretcher and brought through our lines when some of the men cried out that the general was killed, but he said to them: “Never mind me, boys, do your duty.” At about 8 o’clock five thousand negro troops were brought forward crying out “Remember Fort Pillow— we don’t ask any quarter, nor do we’ show any.” One burly black proceed ed to carry out his threats by using his bayonet on one of our men, which was the signal for a general massacre, but the white officer in command drew his sword and split the negro’s head open, which stopped the massacre. At this point it seemed that it was every one for himself, so I struck out but only went a few steps before I found some of our men trying to pro tect themselves by hiding and they had me to stop with them, saying I would be killed if I went on. We got the’attention of an officer who sent a guard to protect us. As soon as it was possible he started with us to the rear. We did not go very far before we were stopped for some rea son. The dead and dying were lying so thick- on the ground we couldn’t fail to step on them. At this point one of t*‘e litter-bear ers was shot down right by me, and the other one ordered me to help him. I did not know any better and took hold of the litter but it held a big man and I could hardly straighten up with him. An officer cried out to me to put him down that it was contrary to military law for a prisoner to help carry eff the wounded of the enemy, so I just dropped the litter. I, with the rest of the prisoners, was carried to the rear out of the range of the guns. On the next day one of the guards got a Philadelphia paper giving a map of the battlefield, also the number of men who engaged in this fight. It stated that the Union officera had massed one hundred pieces of artil lery which were to be discharged im mediately after the explosion of the mine. It also stated that General Burnside had 18,000 men, including the negroes. They claimed to have lost killed and wounded 1,500 prisoners. H. W. JONES, A member of Co. H, 17th Regiment, S. C.
