This colloquy iS FirtsrV^ fj have taken place just t*>fore goifif '* into the battle of the Wilderness on^ F the 6ih of May, 1564. - a The soldier VH& wstt not altogether n confined -;to the horrors and dangera'-1* of the battlefield. '' Between these. C awful crises he had his eDj ly&ble 6 pastimes, and of these it is more p 10 n|mi hu vu romciu-jir. Most of the ErOjnfylerate States 1 have long ago plaood upon record the t soldiers they furnished and the actions d of their troops, but South Carolina p has signally failed up to this lime, and but little, if any prospects of its ever b being any better. t While the Holcomb Legion cavalry n was on the South Carolina coast during g the winter of 1861-2 it was nsoigued o to the duty of picketting Elisto and J Jehassee Islands. l'hese were dan. p gerou9 points, as the Federal gunboats could easily out the pickets off, t surround the islands ana capture t them. _ n.? .,,-4?S.** -T???A. croeaiug that oonnBctcd th?so two islands by meaoa ota temporary bridge, a Among the detail were "Dolph" Faut and Henry Burrougb. While on s guard a gunboat came in sight an 1 1 began shelling the pickets. 1 here < was nothing to proteot them and the only way they had to get away was bv traversing a levee thrown up to protect the rice fields. At dittereLi places ditches were cut across these fields for the purpose of flooding the rice lauds, which was the method of cultivating the crop. However, the , pickets had to get out of range the best . way they could, either by running the [ levee or plunging into and crossing , the ditches the best they cou'd. D dpb, with one part of the dstaobment took r the levee and fell back to pioket headt quarters, but Henry who was rather a t chunky man, thought that crossing the e ditches offered the best method of call cape, so he struck a bee line aoross the field and stuck up over knee doep in the mud the first ditch he tried to jump. Finally he got out and took >r the others as he came to them. An old darkey?one of the low country 1,1 style, a full blooded African?was _ watching the movements of the men, and saw Henry as he made his higerii from the picket post and asked "Boss! who dat man's yonder?" "That'i Captain Simon Suggs," rejoinec on "Dolph" Fant. "Ah! dat Mass Suggs Heard ole Boss talk and read bou dat man." Dolph said, "You did? md "Yes Boss, many times, old Marste tole me 'bout Mars Captain Suggs an 61:8 data de man you sayi"." "Yes, that em the man," said Dolph. Poor Bu rough never heard the end of thi scrape. He was from that time knov , on as "Capt. Suggs." But I must he ay that Henry C. Burrough, who ' * *? J ? rful the time of whioh we speaa, nsu Ju joined the command and waa nni itlated m and uoacquainted with t casualties of war. He made a cpiend soldier after that and always did J pent duty cheerfully. He was among I -itrht '* '? ^ DOt the maa moris wounded in Lee's army. It was j anda a short time before the surrender, a he never reached home. He i universally loved by his comrades f CR> was the very best type of a Bouthi gentleman. Again, while we were in Virgi ! the command was passing a house evening and the woman and a children were out at the oowpen n ditor: ing. Seeing the oolumn of cavi odent parsing they ran to the house read- "Dolph" began bleating like a [ can (He could mimick anything to pe; apace tion.) The children began or i some "mammy, mammy, the soldiers 1 trust got our calf and are taking it don't youwiear it bleatiag?"
