•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.
