The poor victim of rebel bravery (Southern chiv­ alry*) lived in the greatest agony from 10 o'clock In tho evening until 3 next morning, when death relieved his suf­ fering. We made three attempts to dig out. Once tho elements themselves were against us. as a heavy rain caved in our tunnel fust as It was completed. The second time about three hundred escaped the first night, but the hounds were set on their tracks and live or six were brought back; the rest were either torn to pieces by the dogs or were shot In their tracks by their pursuers. Tbe third attempt to dig out we were be­ trayed and had to give It up. Then we planned another method which we carried on successfully for about six weeks without discovery, when again we were betrayed by the same person, a mere boy, who. to get an extra bite to eat. served the rebels as a spy. The method employed was for two mon to lay In the bottom of a oart used to carry out the refuse and filth ol the camp and cover themselves with pieces of blankets, when their comrades, whose turn would come next, would cover them with dirt and Cltli of the camp, and then haul them about a mile from camp, when the whole would be flumped. The driver, taking no notice of the men, would go back for another load, they remaining under the pile until dark, when they would scatter, every man for hiirself, to try and reach our lines 200 miles distant at the near­ est point. Some few got through; the rest were never heard of again. Our fare consisted of a pint of corn meal a day per man, and If the mill broke dowi^ which often happened, we were laiUwdj^ nlnt.

When he found that pleading would not serve hie etid, he assumed an authoritative rone, and I iustantl; be­ came deaf. Then he tried persuasion aud cajoling: but I wouldn't weaken, until lie suddenly called mo to him in a low voice, and with roars in his eyes, said: "Crump, would you refuse a dy­ ing man a drink of water?"' "No, Mr. President,*'I answered, U|iut you are not dying." "But, Crump." lie Added feebly, "if you do not give It to me, I will die," and he closed Ids eyes. I couldn't stand that, and I couldn't disobey the doctors. But somehow or another I just set a glass of spring water on the table by his bed. and went to the win­ dow; aud, hang me, when I returned if that glass wasn't empty, and the Presi­ dent wanted to know, with a smile, what 1 meant by tantalizing him by putting a glass with no water In it within his reach, and lie so thirsty. However, lie never asked for any more that day, and 1 am certain that if he did drink that water it die' liitn no harm. --Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, n the year 17*23 the slate of Illi­ nois was bought of ten Indian chiefs representing ten tribes, by twenty-two white men in Pennsylvania aud En- glaud.
