LOWELL JOURNAL BY J AS. W. H I N E .

ONCE MORE THE CHIEF.

The following dispatch f rom Ihehomu

of a man who hoard Jeff Davis a t Mont-gomery, Ala. has no doubt already been

seen by a ma jo r i ty of our readers, but i t is well enough to keep a record of Kuch

events: CARLISLE, P a . , M a y 1 3 . — N o r m a n P o r -

ter, a grandson of ex-Qov. Porter , of this slate, and now conductor on the Pul lman car running f rom New York t o Atlanta, e n the Cumberland Valley railroad, who was brutal ly a t tacked while a t tending a meet ing in the south where Jefferson Davis was delivering one of his speeches, said yes terday:

' •When Jeff Davis delivered his speech a t Montgomery I was present and hea every word he said. The crowd was an immense one and the cheering, when he xaid any th ing particularly vindictive, very loud. 1 listened and kept quiet, al-though my blood boiled within me until Davis said: "I often prayed to God to live to see the day token bo'h Lincoln and Grant wem dead and in heu and as my prayer haH been granted, I 'm ready to die."

This was too much for m e and 1 t u r n -ed around to ge t out of the crowd, being indiscreet enough to r emark as I l e f t : " I t is a pi ty Jeff Davis wasn ' t h u n g a t Fortress Monroe." I hardly said i t until a man from behind me reached forward and with a kni fe cu t me in the face. H e started to r u n and I a f t e r him, but he got away in the crowd. I called for a n officer, but they were slow about c o m -ing, and a s I was beginning to be coyer ed with blood I went to m y hotel and had the gash sewed up . My fa ther is prominently connected wi th the Grand Army, and this being m y home I thought I would report the mat te r to the post here and see wliat can be done."

I t may l)e presumptuous in us t o pub-lish the above without first obtaining consent of the Detroit Free Press, bu t

we have mustered the courage to do it a n d now th row " o u r s e l f upon the clem-ency of the court . For Jeff Davis to

"p r ay to God to live to see the day when

both Lincoln and Gran t were dead and m hell," was no worse t h a u for him to express his regret t h a t he and his fellow

traitors failed in their a t t empt to destroy the life of the Nat ion. Of course he is glad tha t Lincoln and Gran t are dead b u t we are quite sure t ha t some day the

old arch trai tor will l i f t up his voice in to rmen t and exclaim " t h e y are not here ." The ut terance of these words by Jeff

Davis is bad enough, but the endoree-men t of them by his mul t i tude of hear-ers is inffnttely worse And ye t there are papers and jwoplo even in Michigan

t l ia t u t te r no protest against such senti-ments . They hear t h e m wi th perfect

indifference; but if you want to see them

fair ly f ro th w i t h rage, jus t let an old Union Soldier step out a n d " w a v e the

bloody shi r t" once.

—Capt. Belle Boyd, " t h e famous reb-

No tidings f rom the W boy. Otto Denny. I t is generally believed tha t

his body floated into Grand river and on down tha t s t n am. I t appears tha t no

one MW him fall into the water , but

t ha t he did fall in and was drowned few,

if any, doubt. It is a terrible affliction to his parents. Otto was between nine and ten years old and ra ther small for a boy of his age. It is not improbable tha t his Ijody m a y be yet found between

There is a man in Greenville who ought to have a host of fr iends and a

happy hereaf ter . His name is Leroy Moore, a banker . A year ago he failed

and many depositors lost money there-bv. Ho subsequently became cashier of

and worked very hard , A few days ago he sent word to all his old depositors t ha t he was prepared to pay them in full

with interest to date . The small boy sometimes bi ts jus t the r ight expression. "Thai ' s the s tuff" flls in r ight here. If

Joseph Wilson Post, No. 87. G. A. R.

will observe Decoration Day on Sunday af ternoon. May. 30, with appropriate

ceremonies. W e understand objection

is raised by some to holding the memor-i a l er vices on Sunday. but we cannot see why. Is it desecration of the Sab-

bath to pay t r ibute to the Nation's dead on Sunday? To oover their graves w ith

flowers on Sunday? To pray over their graves on Sunday? If it is. who will so declare it. and then jus t i fy the burying

of the dead civilian on Sunday, with the usual accompanying memorial ser-vices? W e cannot understand the logic

that d k u'proves in the one case and approves in the other. Vs for us we do

not believe the day is ni^r sacred than

the occasion.

The question. " W h a t is the difference

between a frui t and a vegetable?" is a hard oue, though at first thought it m a y

seem plain enough. I t has been said

tha t those garden products that" are

habitual ly grown from seed, aro vege-tables, and tha t those that are propagat-

ed by division are frui ts . This omes pretty near being r ight , but it is cer tain-ly wrong when applied to rhuba rb and

asparagus wheu propagated f rom root

cutt ings, onions grown f rom sets, and potatoes grown in the ordinary manner . The distinction is clearly an arbitary

one, as is indicated by the fact tha t Mr.

Downing, perhaps the most f amous horticulturist of our own country , in-cluded the melon among f ru i t s ; while

M. Henri Vilmoria. equally f amous in the old world, classes the strawl>erry

among vegetables.—Ex.

A letter to the Democrat says t ha t the

Hon. .Mi l ton C, Watk l im .

Hon. Milton C. Watkins , of Grat tan.

for m a n y years a prominent citizen of this county, died last Sunday, aged 81 years. He was Grat tan 's first supervi-sor, elected at the town meet ing held in April 1H46. at the residence of Mr, Con-verse Close. (At this election only 23 votes were cast.) Mr. Watkins sulwe-

quently filled positionsof trust and honor with credit and ability. H e was a rep-resentative in the Michigan legislature

in 1859, and a member of the s ta te Senate in IW3-4-5. He lived a life of activity and usefulness, and his good deeds will

Great excitement again at Jackson.

Anthony Carter, a f a rmer who lives next to the f amous Crouch fa rm, went to Jackson Monday afternoon and report-

ed to Prosecuting Attorney Blair that Gillwrt Wilson had found some bloody

clothing in an old s tump on the Crouch

lino fence. They consist of two shirts and a pair of overalls, all of which were stained with blood, and had the appear-

ance of having been there for two years. The s tump is in the direct line that

tho parties are supposed to have taken on the night of the Crouch tragedy,

November 21, 1883, The prosecuting at torney has ordered the clothing to be held, and will a t once proceed to inves-tigate, The general Impression is that

an impor tant clue to the peqietrators of the awfu l crime has been discovered, and the prosecuting at torney will leave

no stone un tu rned to unravel the relat-ions of this bloody clothing to the Crouch t ragedy mystery, if there be any.

My little grandson was per-manently cured of Biliousness and Sick Eeadacbo, which were BO severe as to cause convulsions. They have all ceased Since he commenced the use of B.B.B.

While spending a few days in Georgia lost spring I chanced to see an article in

tho Atlanta Constitution from the wri ter of tho following letter, s lat ing that since the close of the war he had made frequent a t tempts to got some communication from the fr iends of Serg't. Sam'l. Towl, and others, formerly living near I/)well, Mich. Tho letter was answered by G. T. Hine, Brass, Ga., who in due t ime re-ceived o reply which was forwarded to me and handed to Mr. Arvine P. Hunter , wlio was a momlwr of the same Com-pany as Towl and familiar with all the details of the engagement I n which Towl fell. Mr. Hun te r kindly answered the letter and received tho following interes-t ing communication in reply. 1 mention these facta merely to il lustrate how, almost accidentally a question which for twenty years has been shrouded in mystery, may Ihj cleared up. It furnish-

f-'r unwri t ten chapter in the history of the wa r tha t will lie read with interest by all the surviving members of the 20th

Rabun Gap. Ga.. Apr. 17. 18HH. M R . A . P . HUNTER. Dear Sir.—

Your in-oresting letter of the 12tli inst. reached me yesterday,and I thank. . on for the information it contains. I was a mem-ber of Company A., 2dN. C. Cavalry, of

Barringer's N» C. Brigade, Gen. W m . H. F. Lee's Division, in the summer of 1804. THE ENGAGEMENT AT WHITE OAK SWAMP,

VIRGINIA.

After some skirmishing on tho morn • ing of August 10th, 1804, there was a cessation of picket firing, and prepara-tions were made for an at tack on the Federal line of battle known to be posted a few hundred yards in our front . The forces engaged on tho Confederate side consisted of two brigades of cavalry, dis-mounted, and belonging to Gen. W . H . F, Leo's division. The line was formed with the center resting on the Charles City road, and at r ight angles with the road. Tho N. C. Brigade was on the loft of the line with its r ight resting on the road. The other brigade was on the r ight or south of the road. Our only arms wore breech-loading Sharp's rifles. After the line was fully arranged, and all the officers received proper instruc-tions. the whole lino was to move for-ward at the signal given by Gen. Lee. of firing a pistol shot a t the centre of the line. At the signal shot tho whole line moved forward, peering through the bushes for the first glimpse of the Feder-al line, reserving their fire until receiv-ing tho first volley from the enemy. Soon we came upon the Federal lino, and immediately made a charge, dr iving the line back through wood-lands for some distance. The company to which 1 belonged passed over the same ground that the 20th Mich, regiment passed. After passing through the forest, you will remember, that we came to an open field in the middle of which stood some dwell-ings. I passed between the two houses as I advanced, and will relate an inc ident tha t occurred here, which you possibly might remember. I was about the cen-tre of my regiment, and jus t a f t e r pass-ing the buildings, I observed that a small ridge extended nor thward f rom the buildings, and tha t a Federal skirmish line was jes ted along an old fence row about 30 or 40 yards Ixjyond this ridge. The left wing of m y regiment under command of Captain Bryant was falter-ing in front of the skirmish line. 1 ob-served it, and turned to the left , up the ridge in full v iew of the skirmish line and called to Capt. Bryant to advance, as there was nothing more than a skir-mish line in his front . As I did so, the whole line fired a volley a t mo individu-ally, but strange to say I was untouched. Passing the field down into a hollow, we again encountered woodland for a short distance to the crest of the nex t hill . Passing up the slope of the hill, in the woods, I noticed a wounded federal ly-ing on the ground and spoke to him and passed on. On the crest of the ridge another open field was reached, and the federals had torn down a fence and thrown the rails in heaps for defense, und made a stand. The engagement was very lively hero. At one of the rail-piles here, the man was killed, of whom I make inquiry, and the circum-stances of his death were as follows:

When approaching the rail heaps, I ol)servod a large post-oak tree alwut fifteen paces f rom the rails, and started to it for shelter. In doing so I had to cross an ojiening, similar to a wagon-way

through the bushes about twenty paces f rom a rail-heap throvfn across it. As I stepped into the opening, I saw a federal soldier behind the rail heap raise his musket and the next instant fire. His ball passed over my right shoulder near m y ear. He was so confident tha t he had killed me fliat he throw his gun

down across the rails, and his loft side somewhat turned towards me, ho raised up to a stooping posture, and was peer-ing through the smoke, to see tho effect of his shot. I could see his bulk in the smoke, and my rifle being ready, I raised it and fired, about two or throe seconds after his shot. Ho fell back Loyond tho rails out of my view. I wont to the oak tree, and was soon af ter joined by two other comrades. We were then within fifteen paces of our enemy, who injured the mime balls around us very heavily. One struck my gun barrel. In a short time I observed that our mun had capt-ured the rail heaps fur ther to our right and I called the attention of my com-rades to the fact and requested that we go to the one in our front. Wo did so, driving several federals f rom it. Beyond

the pile lay a dead federal, a member of Co, I. 20th Mich: regt., as I learned f rom the brass letters on the crown of his blue cap. Ho had l)een struck by a minie ball on the left side of the head about two inches from the crown, tho ball ranging downward and passing out a t the right side of his nock below the oar. Of the thir ty engagements in which I par-ticipated in the war, and the hundreds of shots fired, this was the only instance of which I was almost absolutely confi-dent tha t I killed a federal soldier. I never knew liis name, but 1 am inclined to think, since receiving yourlet tor , tha t it was Benedict Smith. Will you please giyo mo a full description of Smith? My rocolloction of the soldier is tha t he was of medium size, of good build, and dark complexion, and appeared to lie of for -eign descent, and perhaps less than 30 years of ago. He was. perhaps, buried whore he fell. These an- my reasons for desiring to learn his name. I have never mentioned these circumstances to any person in any boastful spirit, but a lways seriously, and have always felt tha t it occurred in a fai thful discharge of duty, as can only 1)0 realized ful ly by tho true soldier.

SAMUEL D. TOWL.

1 will now give a detailed account of all I know about the death of Serg't . Samuel D. Towl, Af te r the firing ceas-ed, I found Towl ly ing alxmt thir ty yards from the rail heaps, in the open field, dead. From the position in which he was lying, I judged that ho was woiih.led. and hastily placed in as com-fortable a position as possible and lef t by his comrades before he died, a l though he must have died in a very few minutes a t fur thest . He was lying .is though laid out for burial, with his knap-sack drawn up so as to servo as a pillow for his head. He had been struck by three balls, but only one penetra t ing his body. One had struck his knap-sack. A second

one had struck his lef t breast pocket penetrating the cloth, and the two thick-nesses of a folded cake of tobacco, and lodging against his memorandum book. The covers and every leaf in the book were dented with the ball, and the ball itself was found in his pocket, some-what flattened. Tho ball tha t killed him had struck him near the collarbone in front not far from the throat and

caused him to bleed profusely. While I was averse to tlie practice

that prevailed in both armies of " prowl-ing the dead" as it was called, thero was something in the appearance of Towl that caused me to examine the contents of his pockets and knap-sack, and take charge of some of his effects. I remem-

ber taking from his pockets, letters writ-ton by Miss Mary L. Sabins, a school teacher of Lowell, Mich., from which I learneil tha t they wero engaged to be married. I also took her ferrotype pict-ure and kept it a number of years. I took his picture f rom his pocket and laid it down, but it was picked u p by another soldier and I never saw it again. Several other articles were taken that were useful to soldiers, but all have been destroyed or lost, except his testament and razor which I still have and will re-turn to any of his fr iends or relatives if they desire them. The tes tament is a small 04 mo. leather binding, and still boars the stains of his blood when he was killed. Tho razor is a good one and on the inside case on both sides his name is writ ten with a lead pencil, perhaps in his own hand-writing. From appear-ances. and tho papers, etc. belonging to him, I formed a very favorable opinion of him as having boon a gent lemanly kind of a soldier, of good breeding and intelligence. Can you inform me what became of Miss Sabins, his betrothed?

At the same rail pile before mentioned af ter we had taken possession, a member of my company was mortally wounded, and I took him to the rear. In passing

hastily back, down the side of the wood-land hill, I again saw tho wounded fed-eral soldier s tanding on all fours, tti>-parently badly wounded, and in great danger of federal bullets. I advised him to lie close to the ground where he would be protected f rom fu r the r danger, I never saw him again and don't know his fate. This may havo been Warren V. Eaton, mentioned in your letter.

I would like to hear f rom you again, and have you give me a full description of Smith, and also any other informa-tion concerning any of his relatives. Anything connected with tho circum-stances of tha t engagement would IK-interesting.

The war is over and tho great differen-ces tha t existed then between us and brought us together in deadly combat have been settled, and if circumstances permitted our meeting again in this life, tha t meeting would lie very d i f ferent from the ono on the 10th day of August , 1864. I believe you belonged to Gen. Hancock's corps. Is was my pleasure to vote for Gen. Hancock a few years ago for tho Presidency, and his official car ter and manly bearing won my highest esti-mation of his character .

The hand of a Divine Providence protected me through the conflict, and I have lalnired zealously since the close of tho war for the cause of Christianity, morality, education and temperance, and fool that I have accomplished some good among the people whom it is m y fortune to Iw associated wi th . Hoping you will excuse the haste of wri t ing this letter, and to hear f rom you again.
