Presentment of Grand, .fury.
To Ills Honor J. B. Kershaw, Pre
siding Judgo:
Tho Grand Jury retsjnet fully sub
mit tho following presentment
which wo huvo mado under tho
instructions of your Honor:
The books aud transcripts of ten
of tho Trial Justices of tho county
have been proscuted to us and ex
amined which we find neully kept
with tho exception of somo unim
portant irregularities.
One of the Trial Justices failed
to present his books to us for In
spection Ol* examination.
Wo recommend in regard to tho
settlement or discontinuance of
criminal cases in Trial Justico
courts, that such settlements be
explicitly stated, together with the
cau?o or grounds of settlement or
dlscon tinunnco.
In our last presentment wo re
commended that the bond of our
Sheriff and one of the County Com
missioners bo strengthened, which
recommendation*, we aro sorry to
sny, have not been carried out;
wo therefore insist and urge again
that sucli recommendations be
promptly complied with.
Time und again the grand juries
of our county hnvo recommended"*
that certain ropairs bo mado upon
tho county jail but such recom
mendations have been entirely dis
regarded. We repeat tho recom
mendations, that such .work bo
dono. Particularly wo*Und that
the old wooden cells or dungeons
which are impregnated witli the
impurities of long 1)30, bo either
renovated or displaced by new
iron lattice cells with belter venti
lation and a freer access of fresh
air to the prisoners.
We repeat our former recom
mendation in regard to tho public
officos in tin) court house. The
partition wall between tho office
formerly occupied by tho Master
and the Auditor's oflleo bo re
moved so.as to render tho olnco of
tho County Auditor commodious,
which chango we Und necessary to
preserve the records and books of
the said office. .
Tho court room of tho court
house is not so cleanly and neatly
kept as it should be. We call this
matter to the attention of tho Offi
cer whoso duty it is to keep tho
court room in a suitable-and com
fortable condition for tho holding
of tho courts of justice.
We also coll tho attention of tho
court to the previous roommnnd
ations of the Grand Jury in regard
to some repairs in tho Clerk of tiio
Court's office, which recommend
ations have been disregarded.
Wo find that the public roads of
the county are not in good condi
tion. Complaints are heard in all
parts of the county that tho roads
are not properly worked and that
in some sections of tho county there
arc public roads without an over
seer. Wo urge that tho roads be
worked as soon as practicable and
that the bridges bo put in suitable
repair.
If those recommendations are
not carried out by tho County
Commissioners in regard to tho
pu'aic roads by tho next term of
l\\ y court we insist that proper
pr<# ?edlngs bo instituted ngalnst
satu ;oi!imi.ssi'>?\er-3 for neglect of
offln il duty.
A o do not find (hat the county
ftflfl npusG is kept in that condition
AS^L. hoalth and necessities of tho
unforr^nate inmates require.
CmnrfrVnint is made to us by some
of tho injplKtes that they do not re
ceive ?>iheien.j. ?iVM\ (0 satisfy hun
ger., wo find thnKf.h-3 inmates are
iniFproporly lodged as' . ?cnulretl by
me dictates of the Anjh.Jo-?ajfn?*
race, for instance wo find a white
man and a negro woman occupy
ingtho same room hi said institu
tion. Tho houses in which tho in
mates are lodged should bo thoro
ughly scoured and cleansed and
whitewashed Inside and outside.
Wo urgo that the requirements
of tho law in regard to this institu
tion be rigidly enforced and that
all violation of tho law or omission
of duty in this regard by tho Coun
ty Commissioners bo promptly
In ought before the courts.
In regard to the imprisonment
of persons sentenced to the county
jail wo have observed that our
Sheriff has allowed prisoners under
sentence of imprisonment in the
county jail to ho at liberty in and
around the jail premises instead of
being oonfined In tho Jail as re
quired by tho Judgment, of the
court. We recommend that such
prisoners bo kept in such conline
ment as required by law.
Wo recommend that the bridge
across Little liivcr within tho cor
porate limits of the town of Laq
rens be rebuilt by the authorities
whoso duty it is to rebuild the
same.
Thanking your honor for many
courtesies shown to us during tho
term, wo herewith submit tho fore
going as our final presentment.

c.'cu. Lee's amiy wintered in
1802-63 ut Frederieksburg und
in January and February uf
'<>.'} Tor weeks tho ground was cov
ered with snow from twelve to
eighteen inches in depth. It was
then not uncommon to see division
and brigade with as many as live
thousand men ou the field arrayed
against each other in friendly bat
tle with Improvised balls of enow,
tho columns led in marshali style
by staff ofllcors of the differont
corps. In the midst of these Jousts
of merry-making, Gen. Mlcah Jen
kins'brigade of infantry received
orders to march and take up a line
directly for lUchmoTuL There the
brigade rested for a rew days;
theneo directly to Petersburg, and
from that point to tho banks.of the
Black Water near the North Caro
lina lino, whoro they relieve^
troops which were sent north to
(Jen. Lee's army. The Hampton,
Legion bivouacked very near to a
N. C. regiment on the njgJxt>btffore
they were to innrctyn?rtn, and the
next morning At dawn n great
bowl was raised as the tar heelers
could not parade a skillet, a haver
sack, axo or canteen to tho com
pany. Jenkins placed his regiments
for six or eight miles along the
Blackwator, and at some points
throwing his troops across tho
river, which was navigablo and
passable by pontoon bridges. Tho
enemy had their headquarters at
Suffolk, and between the river and
this point was a largo neutral ter
ritory of some twenty miles. This
territory tho enemy traversed
overy lew days with a body of bold
cavalry and artillery, commanded
by a Col. Speers, a gallant officer
reputed lo have been a sergeant In
tho old regular army. Early in
March or April of that year scouts
reported to Gen. Jenkins at an
early hour in tho ovontng, that
Speers had gone into camp on the
road leading by Carsville to Suf
folk. Jenkins moved his troops at
once across the river by differont.
roads converging to Carsville,
marching all night through swamp
ami snow. At daylight his five
regiments wore snugly in ambush,
the Hampton Legion on tho right
and the first to bo passed by the
enemy. On the right of tho Legion
a Virginia captain of cavalry was
placed in ambush with orders that
when tho rear of Speers''regiment.
consisting of somo twelve hundred
men had passed the Legion, and
when tlio head of Speers column
would be a mile towards Carsvillo
and tho Whole column in tho bag
and exposed to our ambuscade, he,
the captain, should spring into the
road in their renr and discharge
his pistol as a signal tor our whole
line to tire. Tho road was flanked
on cither side by a dense pine
forest, and tho ambuscade com
plete.
.\fter a while, about sunrise, a
half dozen splendidly mountod
Federals rodo gaily along, one ap
parently an otllcer, fondly petting
a line dog that sported around his
horse. These flvo or six passed
completely into the not. Presently
tho head of tho Yankee column
passed the right of the Legion,
when oil'wont tho captain's pistol
in quick succession. J-The column
of Yankees caught the situation in
a second, wheeled and in lightning
time got out of tho difficulty, and
tho whole thing miscarried. The
captain, from inexperience,'took
a company for a squadron, a mere
advance guard, for tho whole force,
had not waited for tho regiment
and .>?"'* ,ioo 8001^
Put tho six men vaif the gauntlet

lire of a thousand men, two of tuernW
passing through successfully and
one of them as he passed Col.
Coward's, tho last ..regiment, ex
claiming <!d-n them, hero they
uro again."
It may bo imagined how cha
grined was that splendid young
brigadier. Gen. Jenkins, at this
failure. Speers kept close for tho
future and tho neutral ground be
came a splendid toraging territory
for our boys, while wo bivouacked
on the cypress clad banks of the
Black Water. Thus "the widest
plans; of mico aiul men gang aft

wards promoted for gallantry and
became a Held officer of his regi
ment,
With the exception of tho two
weeks siege of Suffolk by Gen.
Longstroet. in which the brigade
joined, and a hot skirmish near
Carsville, the two months spent on
the B'nckwator was a gala time for
those days. The brigade was en.,
tiroly tiouth Carolinian and the
wives of many of tho youngofllcers
visited their gallant lords, enter
tained at tho mansions of the
neighboring hospitablo Virginians.
A tournament was gotten up for
