PRISON LIFE IN TEXAS.
Capture, Imprisonment and Escape of J. BL Howard,
Co. "E," 32 loo Volunteers.
c HAPTKU IV.
We wre all on the outside aed it
would not do to violate the parole of
honor so there wm nothing else to
do hut to go bark In the prison to
accomplish thin, there were two boy
Unit came out with Packard and we
.(r l,...ri .n w.ljl. fj,J.rawe tO
our imtnin and Jevtett and I went
iiwi.le with Packard. The rent of
the ly wa4 Hpent getting ready to
Htart on our perilous Journey. Our
eoinradt trleil to persuade U Dot to
risk It. They aid to us, "the guard
only want a chance to ahoot you,
llicy are only leading you Into a
trap ami they will kill you,", well, I
thought of nil thexe things. I knew
the iluiiKT, and indeed it did look
liku running the gauntlet. When
the lioys admonished me so earnest
iy, my heart alinoHt failed me, but
when I thought of Maying there
another hot Hummer I could not bear
. JothHkefH. When I wvtl to
ward the grave yard which was alt
uated in plain aight of the prison,
aeemed that one half of the prisoners
were hived there. I wanted to aee
(he old regiment and the stars and
Htriiiea Instead of the flak that bore
theaeven stars. There were my
friends at home and atsive all the
girl that lived on the hill with whom
1 expected to fs ik1 a happy life al
thouirh I had never tohl her ao.
Those I loved prompted me to go,
We waited till the time appointed
then we found that the time for the
L'uiird to come on duty had leen
changed and it would hn two o'clock
liefore he would 1 ou guard. . Hut at
two we found him at his post. We
watchen the guards on both aidea as
they walked their beat which was
twenty feet long.
The guards walked down facing
each other; there they both turned
and walked hack to the other end ol
the beat. While their back were
turned we all started at once. When
I reached the stockade I could Just
lay my Angers on top of the pouts
but I gave a spring and struck with
my breast on top, at the same time I
threw my leg atralght with the
stockade. J rolled over and let my
self down on the outside. Now there
was an oak tree just opposite me only
two rods away and I atepfted very
cautiously under the shade of that
tree. I stood there for some time be-
fore"the"otherloys made'their ap
pea ranee, I thought for a second that
I would have logo alone, but Just
then they came and without saying
a word I turned and walked away
llio boys following nie. Our fear
now was thetthe guard would see us
as we left the tree. We quietly made
our way to the north about a
quarter of a mile, when we came to
halt and consulted each "oilier as to
the proper course (o jiersue. It was
a question in our minds whether we
Iih(1 U tter Rtart.rlght out for Ood'n
country, or remain in the vicinity of
the prison, we decided to go to the
hoepital and remain there untill after
the rehs had made their search know
ing that if they made any discovery
they would have the blood hound
on our track immediately. The hos
pital being on the south side of the
prison and we on the north, we were
compelled to make a circuitous route
to evade the rebel camp. We panned
otf to the west and Hueeeeded in get
ting to the hoepltal without being
discovered. I went into my shanty
where I had stayed for four week.
My hunkumtc, Amoa Ihxin, said t
nie ''for Mini's sake get out of her
for the rebel guard has heeii here and
called the roll." It was a question
in our minds again what to do. Th
rcU'ls were liable to come back a
any time and call the roll again.
We went about forty rods from th
hospital ami lay down la-hind a biy
log where we remained untill aftei
roll call next morning. It seemed t
Is? a difficult matter for them lo cab
(he roll that morning as they canit
three times to the hospital to count
It was twelve o'clock Ufore the,
quit counting in the prison. It war
said that admit thirty made theli
escaw the same night, but we wen
ignorant of the fact at the time
They must have seen that wo wen
successful and followed us. Thereby
were now satisfied that some of thi
Yanks were gone. .Some shoulwl
"hurrah boys get out the hounds and
we will soon catch those yanks." V
stood and watched them as they
started to catch us, we were ta'king
with the rehs at the time. We loung
ed around the hospital all day
Along in the afternoon they began
to bring back our comrads who had
made their escape that night, they
caught fifteen in ail.
.11 m i" ii was winy iiark wt
4ado our comrads at the hoaplial
good by and with a "Utxl speed" and
"I hope you'll have good luck boys
we started for vsnkee land. Our
object In remaining at the hospital
so long was to evade the hounds.
We guided our our by the north
star, traveling very fast so as to gel
as far as possible from the stockade
the first night. We wanted to reach
Sabine Uiver before morning, but
one of our party gave out and we
were com pelled to stop five miles
from the river where we remained
till morning. We crawled Into some
thick bru-h for concealment and laid
our weary limuAiiown to rest. We
had only got fairly settled when wei
heard a roootcf crow so startling near
4
a to make at Jump to our feet In a
hurry and seek more dlatant quarters
Wa remained there through the day
without being disturbed. Thin morn
ing the sun row In the ear for the
drat time (lnce my capture. The
sky was clear; the weather calm and
the sua shone brieht. the sonars nfthe
birds were so sweet and charming
it seemed the happiest day I had
ever spent.
We resumed our march at early
dusk, m we were compelled to travel
at eight to evade discovery. About
midnight we came to the Habiue rlv
er which was very high. J being a
very poor swimmer and not used to
deep water, the boy had agreed to
help me over the stream. We hunt
ed for something to make a raft and
finding nothing suitable we conclud
ed to wait for day light. Our idea
was to find a skin and go down the
river and reach Sabine hay in about
one hundred and fiftv mile. We
knew that Uncle Sam's fleet lay
about two miles from land. This
would have been the easiest and liest
way but we could not find a boat, so
we abandoned the Idea.
The next morning a fine large tur-
key came down on the opposite bank
togvthia breakfast. I suppose we
thought we could relish a breakfast
ofhlrnifwe could only catch him,
but that was out of the question as
we hid no gun. We resumed our
search for material to make a raft,
aner hunting along the bank for a
mile we found some plank apparent'
ly from some bridge. We construct
ed a rail and were about to cross
when the baying of the hounds so
lamlllar to usof late waa wafted to
our ears from the rear, anon we were
satisfied that they were on our trail.
I leaped Into the water and struck
for the opposite shore. I did ao well
that the boys made up their minds
that I waa a pretty good swimmer.
Jewitt told Packard to follow me and
heto me If I needed anv assistance,
and he would bring the raft with our
clothes. Need helpl 1 guesa not,
Packard was an extra swimmer and
he haa all he could do to keep up
with me, in fact I beat him acrusa. I
tell you the loud mouthings of those
hounds was a pretty good spur. 1
shall alwava remember mv landinir
as I swam Into a cluster of briers
which were entirely covered with
water, thev scratched ma from a to
Izard so that the blood ran from iny
head to heels. The scar from that
scratching remained for several yean
afterward.
We irot across alrieht. turned our
raft adrift and laid In the brush to
i If the hounds crossed the river,
Intending if they did to take to the
river. Fortunately for us they did
not and we were safe for the time
being. We made our way for about
seven miles across the bottom and
lodged in the edge of a large swamp
Intendlng to rush out in the swamp
n case we were persued by the
hounds, where we Intended to put an
end to them If they came. Here we
stayed until four o'clock when we
started out. thlnklmr to travel awhile
before night. There being no settle-
I
went we traveled until dusk when
we came to a beaten path. Just then
a negro wtu was passing, admonish-
ed ua by savlnir "bovs all of Ouan-
trel's army Is right there." Ixmking
off to the right a short distance we
sawlhat we were almost in their
camp. Ithasalwavs been a nuea-
tion In my mind how the negr J knew
that we wanted to evade the rebels
but we hastened forward and as we
rossed the wagon road two rebel of-
fleers came riding down the road
some ten rods from us. We tried to
pay uo attention to them but march
eu straight forward as though we
were rebel guards. Here Just to the
left there was a party of rebs loading
up corn
It now being Just dark we
passed on without detection. Here
we ktruck an open field uhich was
a half mile across.
When we got within thirty rods of
the fence we beared some one talk-1
ing directly in front of us. Soppos-
ug that we were running into the
guard we came to a halt and con-
eealed ourselves under the bank of a
small stream, where we remained
until we found It was only some one
pasatng. Here was the first fun we I
had had since we left the pris n and
tha boys had quite. a laugh at my ex-
pense. In eonst quenee of my sore
yes I had my ears pierced and a
coarse thread drawn through and tied
il left quite a loop and when we
went to raise up to start on, this loop
caught on a root and held me fast.
While the other Ixiys went on. I wax
arraiti to epeak U them for fear of
being heard. Tbla made nve mad and
I gave a autlden Jerk which caused
nie in but I got lotxe all the Mine.
I began to look around to ee where
mycorontdi wew but they had irot
OutofM, I took my cour and
oaught up to them near the fence.

th fiva days as a hungry man would
Mt atone meal. We ramrwti that
rromlnf in th bruth by the aide of a
large plantation. Jewettsaid when
the negroes iro to work I will see if
we cannot gvt some food of them.
After the oegmm went to work he
roanedover the fence and accreting;
the boy plowing corn asked him If be
could get some food of him teUIog
him that we were escaped prisoners.
The boy after thinking a moment
said that be would like to give us
MifflD to eat awful well roaasa but I
don't see how I git It. Dar am bout
one hundred and fifty Mack folks on
dls place and dey giu der grub every
day, some of dem hab a little ahead
but de most ob dem eatatit fast as
dey gets it.M To cot the conversa
tion short he said there was danger
of our being captured If he tried to
get us any food, so we gave it up for
that time. We had now, one little
cracker (hard tack) left, per man,
that we f IJr . TtiBr- "I"
we traveled as usual and stopped tor
the day by the side of a wheat field
with an old cotton gin In the center.
At sunrise, negroes came out to work
In the field adjoining about a half
mile away. It was my turn now to
gel something to eat, and our only
show was to get it from the negroes.
In order to see those negroes. I was
compelled to crawl Into a ravlue
di
agonally across the field from where
we were to the opposite side where
the negroes were plowing corn. Four
women and three men came out to
the end. I hailed them asking if
there were any white folks near, they
old me ht ,i he oreroeer .was at the
other end of the field. 1 told them
who I was and that I was their friend
and that they were now free and all
that they had to do was to go to our
forces. I now told them all to go to
work except one man, charging them
not to speak to the overseer about
nie. They said "oh no niassa for ll
dey find you they will kill you
They bade me good by and went on
except one man
I told him I was nearly starved
that I had not eaten anything but
grapevines and basswood sprouts for
seven days and I want you to get me
something to eat If possible. He told
me that it would be Impossible that
the overseer or someone would see
him, but he would bring me some-
thing that night. He said come to
that cotton gin over in the wheat
field after dark and he would have
some food. I told him to bring all
that he could spare for there was
three of us and we did not want to
show ourselves airs In until we had
crossed Red river. He said that we
"bould have It, earned by his own
bands. I now made my way back
to the boys, who were glad enough
at the prospect of having something
to eat once more.
We spent the day thinking and
wondering whether they would be'
tray us or not. It was a very hot
day and we could hardly keep our
selves comfortable in the shade. As
we had to stay in the thick brush no
air could get In to us and the wood
ticks. Oh, the woodtlcks! we would
spread our blankets down on the
ground and see them coming from
direction. I carried scars for
years where those rebel ticks bit me.
Night came on and we made our
way to the cotton gin where we
stayed till nine o'clock waiting for
'upper. The moon arose and ascend
upwards and still our sable friends
to make their appearance,
Ve were beginning to dicplar of get-
H'"? anything to eat that night,
when the welcome sound of a whis-
greeted our ears. They soon ab
Pred carrying ajug of buttermilk,
bread, boiled bacon and there
was some bacon that was not cooked.
Ml upon the viands with a rel
begotten 0f extreme hunger. Af-
,('r eating and chatting awhile they
informed us that we now had a
'rKe swamp to cross and If we
wished they would go with us and
hhlw us the road. We thankfully
accepted their offer. Our black
skinned friends accompanied us two
and a half miles.
With good wishes for our ultimate
escape, from them and thanks from
us for their service, we parted
TO HE CUMTIXUKD.
It is generally suppoaed that Con
gress has become a much more talka
tive and dilatory body than it used
to be, but Prof. J J men, one of the ed
itors of the annuals of the American
academy of political and cial science
shows that this is a mistake. The
First Congress made a record in that
resect which has seldom been sur
passed. A bill for theappott onmeht
of representatives among the states
was taken up in the House February
", !"!-, and fourteen days were de-
voted to its discussion, when It was
passed by a close vote. The Senate
took It up February 21, discussed it
until March 12, and paed a aubsti
lute. Then the House debated the
substitute for five days, and rejected
It. A conference followed, and on
March 2 the House accepted the sub.
stitute. President Washington kept
the bill as lorg as he could and ve
toed it. Puhtrquently, a com pro-
mlse bill was passed and approved,
