JHAPTKU XIX. LAST DAYS.

Andrews had now but four days more of dungeon life between himself and eternity. Kscapo was impossible unles.. there should be a rapid advance of the Federal forces—a possibility which did come very near being made a fact, lie applied himself to the great business of preparing to die. Most unexpectedly a letter written at this time and in some way carried through the lines ha« come to hand, and throws great light upou his character and thoughts at. this period, lie managed in some unknown manner to get writingtnaterial and wrote two or three letters. One, no doubt,w«s written to his betrothed in Flemingsburg, but never received.

Another was written to his mother in Missouri. The contents of the latter can only be given as they are remembered after tin interval of many years by ono who read the letter, lie told his mother that he was to die, and that all he regretted w'us that he had been able to do

in the Flemingsburg bank—some §0,000, ...... with (Jol.l premium and intere.-t-in cuso

he never returned, giving him a cheek for that purpose, and to lend it on good security. paying the interest as a perpetual bequest to the town jH)or. The friend was faithful to his trust, and though the money was afterwards squandered in a pitiful way and gave rise t»» vexatious law suits yet this secured the careful preservation of the letter.

In all probability Andrews wrote first to his betrothed, giving those sad remembrances and bequests which would not be repeated In a letter to another, and followed with this more general and business like communication. The original is terribly misspelled, far beyond tho ordinary misspelling of jgnorr.ui persons. This is probably intentional, as a lew lines at the first have no errors. rir.\TTJLNGO«JA, Teuti.. .lime.', lsi vi. L). S.

advancing with

overwhelming forces, and that Chattanooga would fall and East Tennessee have to be abandoned, and giving directions for lines of retreat and for removing the stores. Of course, to arrange for an execution on the 7th, in the face of au advancing enemy, might have led to a very Kudden pardon and, accordingly, Androws and Ins companions were ordered to Atlanta once more on the early morning train. There was again the excited crowds, an invariable accompaniment of our frequent transits over this road but, in addition, the fact that Andrews was to dio was published, and he was taunted frequently with references to his approaching doom. These he bore with his usual calm, sad patience.

An instance in connection with these at their destination, persecutions is especially pathetic. A Mr. AVhitomau came on the cars, and, advancing to where Andrews was, accosted him. Parrott, who gives the account, was sitting on the seat behind, and could uot help hearing nil the conversation.

The merchant said. ''What can you do,

Andrews replied, "Mr Whitenian, this is no time to talk about money. If you had done as I wished you to do in Chattanooga, you would have had all that back, and twice as much more." (Parrott understood Andrews to refer to some proposition that Andrews had made to Mr. Whitenian on his trial, and the failure to accept which was the greatest, disappointment that Andrews had then experienced.)

Wluteman continued. "Is that all you 1 have to say. Mr. Andrewsf*'' I "Yes, sir, that is all," responded the doomed man. With a gesture of deep disappointment, Whitemati turned on his heel and walked rapid'* away.

The death procession reached Atlanta a little after noon, and the prisoners were condiieted by their guard to a room used as barracks, two squares from the depot. Here they were kept under close guard awaiting the completion of the arrange-

ments for the military murder. The foot chains had not. been removed from An-

with the short, haltin.c step tiiat they re(juired, the clanking was horrible Not very much wis said in these few sad moments. Andrews did speak in his quiet way of the better life, and bis wish to meet all bis comrades in heaven. 11 is words could not fail of making a deep impression, though hope of vengeance for tho coming deed would have been sweeter to the poor boys than almost any kind of a prospect beyond tho grave. I»ut soon a body of stramze soldiers came up to the building. Their commander entered and asked Andrews In a very respectful tone if lie wns ready now. The hitter answered in the aiilrm itive, and then bade "Goodby'" to the conirndes who bad passed through so many dangers with him.

The procession moved out IVnehtree street, the most fashionable anil beautiful street of Atlanta, and coutiuiied for about two miles from the depot. On tin* way, the provost marshal asked Kev. \Y. .1. Scott, a Methodist clergyman, to accompany them and act as chaplain. He almost, refused, but Andrews spoke In his winning, coin teotis manner, saying, "I would be giad to have you go, sir." Stich an appeal Seoti could not resist, and attended him to the last, writing many years after his recollection of the allair. A great crowd, in addition to the strong guard, went- along, but then* appears to have been no unseemly tannt or disorder. To Mr. Scott Andrews gave Mibst.antiaUy i-tiie same account of the enterprise that has already been given, colored a little by the fact that he did not wish ev. in death to say one word that might any way injure those comrade^ who had been so true to him.

No element of pathos in the terrible j-Tene w:-s lacking. A few scores of yards from the road, in a little valley, a senffold was erected. There were ihin woods around, and night: was coming on. A rope circle fenced Oil* the spectators to respectful distance. Mr. Scott spoke the words that J,e judged fitting: liev. Mr. Conyors led in prayer: Kev. Mr. Connor administered some religious counsel to the patient prisoner, who probably thought that all the sins of which he repented wen- hss than the siti of rebellion of which they were guilty. Nocoflui wns provided, but a few hundred feet away the grave was already open. The signal was given, and the not uncommon bunglingofau execution added new horrors. The cotton rope- stretched so that the 'rduteklcd feet rc:u bed the ground. "From motives of humanity' the ground wa--shoveled away, and the '-ord liberated

The poor remains of a man of superb beauty and princely endowments tin: carried to the shallow grave on a little hill cre.d. and there, near a large Mono, "whi'/h may mark the grave, if any friend ever wards to know where it is, as spectator charitably said, he is laid tu re There i?*. no shroud.

earthly misfortune: and as evening gath1 ered its shadows over the little heap of freshly turned earth in the wood—a spot long unrecognized—was he not better off than the comrades from whom he had just parted, or those more distant, whose I fate was trembling in the balance at

Knoxvillo? Some days or weeks nfter the comple-

(ion of this mournful tragedy a man came to the If I depot at Stevenson, Ala., which was then used as a storehouse by the Federal- He seemed to be a stranger, and Went, cautiously to Sergt. William Hunter Myers, of Company K, Thirtythird Ohio, and asked to speak with him alone. Myers at once assented and took him into (he room. The man looked to see that no one was near the door or windows, and then said: "I have papers in my possession which would cost me my life if the Confederates should discover them on me. I want to get ctear of them." Myers took tho papers and glanced over them, finding the letter of Andrews to his mother ami ids "will," already quoted. He was perfectly familiar with our expedition, belonging to the same company as Parrott. This made it easy for him to recognize the great interest of the papers, for up to this time only scattered ami partial information had been brought through the lines. On inquiry the man said ho was a ilrcmati on the Georgia State railroad, and that he had been employed for several years in that capacity. His native place, however, was lingerstown, Md.. and he had stood the ways of the rebels as long its ho could, and was now anxious to get home. Myers wanted to know how he came in possession of tho papers, but ho declared that he dared not tell. Finding that he had nothing more to say, be was sent under guard to Huntsville, from which place it was easy for him to reach his old home and the papers also, after considerable detention, arrived

The account of the escape ami recapture of Andrews was published in The Cincinnati Commercial, about the 10th of June, and reached the sister of Miss Layton, with whom that lady then made her home. As she was already in deep distress because of Andrews' long delay without any message, they did not dare to tell her the perilous situation in which her lover was placed. But near the etvl of June the full account of his execution was copied in the same paper from The Southern Confederacy of dune tl, 1802. As the end of all her hopes had come (less than a week before the intended wedding day) her brother nnd sister judged it best not to keep her longer in suspense, and the paper was handed to her. Her eyes rested on the following paragraphs:

She did not shriek or cry out, but read it through to the end, and went.silently to her room, from which she did not emerge for hours: and when she did rejoin the family her face was drawn nnd pale, and the light bad gone out of her eyes. From this time forward she took little interest in anything until the letter to Mr. Me* Unvic, printed above, arrived. Mnny months after, the empty trunk, so pathetic an emblem of her blasted hopes ami the great tragedy that had fallen on her life,

recovered. In the absence of an xplanation, for the letter to her was ever received, it seemed like a erne) lockery! Not long after she died, thus rejoining the man she had loved so faille ullv through such hopeless sorrow. Nt •rave man parishes that some tendei woman's h.\crt is not crushed:

Iv Kirby Smith coniatided ihe department, ami all the pro edings were under his authority. What, seemed to us very remarkable was that a single one ot our number at a time was brought before the court, and all the proceedings in his case were gone through with before another was brought out. Thus each trial was just the copy of the one that, went before, and, short as thc\ were, must soon, have become very mo notonous to the members of the court. We emploved two eminent Cr.ion men of KtioxviUe as counsel—,Judge O. 1*. Temple ami .lodge Baxter—hut they were not allowed to hear tho plea of the judge mi vorate, ihe prosecutor against us Neither hail we that privilege, and cannot therefore give the points that were most- relied on for our conviction. In fnc member.* of the court visited us nnd said that we would be nequittcd of the charge against us, which was that of* lurking about Confederate camps at Chattanooga, Dab on and arietta as spies, and only held as prisoners of war. This inspired in us a strange nnd, as the issue proved, nn unwarranted degree of hopefulness. Our own acknowledgment of what we did, which we linked with the statement that we had been tietailed from our commands without our consent and with l.o knowledge of the nature of the expedition on which we were sent, and the evnlenrc of some of thope 1 who had seen us on the train or aided in our capture, constituted the evidence in: the case.
