I was much amused when he told me that a man had put his hand over his mouth and nearly smothered him, but he added, with Kir.'it seeming satisfaction: "L bit his linger terribly, and gave tin rascal a mark ho will carry to his grave." However, he had not bitten as severely

he supposed,

as I had received only a slight, scratch that healed in a week or two. I had always been rather a favorite with him, and he had no suspicion that 1 was the guilty as hi» fright had prevented I him in i.i «»bserving anything closely, He snolv'.-it strong complaint of the ingratitude of our companions, saying that he had been kind to them, and this was I the return he got for it. While we remained with him lie watched more closely, though he supposed he was flattering us one of host by saying that lie had no doubt the men lasw-.i us tin who had gone oflf were much worse than we.

Some time in the forenoon several ollicers came to see us in no miid humor, and one roughly demanded the course our boys intended to travel. 1 had no delicacy whatever about giving the information I even took a good deal of pleasure in telling him that they had said that Atlanta was in the middle of what was left of the Confederacy, and that they were going to travel toward the outside! The olliccr was so well satistled with this information that he asked no more onestions!

cannot look back upon what they did without thinking that in dangers encountered and obstacles overcome, the proudest exploits of Livingstone or Stanley were not superior.

A whole volume would be required for the adventures in detail of these dill'erent parties, but some brief account seems needful forthe completeness of our story. The different narratives have been furnished me for publication by the parties themselves, m* are eoiidcjjM-d and revised from accounts published by them, some very near tin* time of the return of the fugitives. The story in each case was of such extraordinary character that local newspapers wen-glad of ihe privilege of laying it before their readers. These dilToient accounts have been caretuhy compared., and any paragraphs which have only passing or local interest have been omitted.

The lirst story is that of our engineers, and is furnished bv Knight, with a few additional items by his companion, Drown. They were the foremo-i of the whole party in the run for the woods, as they had been in attacking the guard. Knight says:

We started for the wr.that were about a mile distant. We ran through gardens or any* tiling else that came in the way. kicking the pickets o|T several earilvs feuevs as the easiest way to grt over them. To Any we were tired out when we reached the woods does not half cypres* our condition. The woods was but narrow, and we only stopped there lunt: •tmugh t«» catch our wind, and then pressed on again.

The eight men who got away from the immediate vicinity of the prison traveled in couples, taking dilTeient routes and meeting with a great variety of stirring adventures. Porter and Wollain went westward and reached the Tennessee river, down which they floated in a boat, making a laud circuit to avoid mussel shoals, till they reached Corinth, in Mississippi, on the 18th of November, having been a mouth and two days on their perilous routes.

Dor.sey and Hawkins pursued a route similar in general direction to the last, but keeping a little further west. They were entangled in the outposts of llragg's army, then on its retreat from Kentucky, and very narrowly escaped capture. They also were greatly helped by the Union people of Kast Tennessee, and without such aid would very probably have died with cold and hunger in the mountains. They ami all the others were received by their army comrades and relatives as men risen from the dead. lint the most surprising anil longest but easiest route was that taken by Wood and Wilson. The former was so sick that it ia not probable he could in tiny other way have been saved at all. They struck southwest till they encountered the Chattahoochee river, when, seizing a boat, they puddled down the stream nightafter night, hiding by day, till they reached the (inlf of Mexico, when thoy stood boldly out to sea in their frail craft and were fortunate enough to find our blockading licet.

A few words will linish tin? story of the six of us who wore so unfortunate as to be recaptured. We expected nothing less than instant death: but instead of that we were taken to the Atlanta barracks, then under charge of an otlicer who had been in tie,- regular t'nited Stales army, from whom we received more humane treatment than had been before accorded us within the limits of the Confederacy. Here we remained two months, aud were then forwarded to Richmond, Va. We spent only about two hours in Libby prison, but were more than three months in Castle Thunder, where our silverings were often very great. Food was but little above tin* starvation p'-lnt. No clothes wi re ^ivon us by the Confederacy, and we were almost naked. *ny died around us, ami in the very roosns with us. of smallpo? aud other deadly diseases, but our lives wo:-.* strangely p."--rved, though .several of our number v.vrto-very Hick. We never were called on to l'aco

mtother court martial. There was much talk of exchange, but our hopes in that direction were so often disappointed that we almost ceased to hope.

At length, on the 17th of March, l^Oo, we received the joful tidings that a special political exchange hail been concluded, which, by the insistance of Secretary Stauion, had been made to include us. No words can describe our joy when we at last, found that it
