————ooo—-———
Aug. 22.-——Mrs. Ward, our quarter-
master‘s wife. died this morning, which
has cast a gloom over the regiment.
There had been on order issued that all
males between the ages of 18 and 45 years
should be enrolled as military subjects,
and become subject to a draft. During
the summer a large number of men.
both white and black, came within our
lines. so that there were a goodly num-
ber between those ages in the city.
There was a lieutenant sent from the
headquarters at Jacksonville to enroll
them. As I was better acquainted with
the inhabitants, having been thrown
amongst them more, I was requested to
assist him. We took a room and sent
out circulars ordering nil persons subject
to military duty to appear. All deserters
from the rebel army who had taken the
oath of allegiance to the 1'. 8.. were ex~
erupt. Many of them came to the lattice
to prove themselves such. In the two
or three weeks I was engaged in this
work I learned much of the ignorance
of the southern people—the men who
said that our l'nion should be dissolved
——thin~. I ever thought ofknowing before.
We had young men come to the utlice,
riinirt looking. strong and active, who
could not tell what month nor what year
it was, and if you told them that it was
1864. and risked them what year it was
last year or what year it would be next
they could not. tell you. I Will give you
no instance or two, that you may judge
for yourselves. There. was a bright~
looking man came in one day to prove that
he was a drserler. He claimed to have
lieeua lieutenant in a Georgia regiment.
He said he was thirty-five years old,
“I reckon." lie deserted one year ago
last September. “'9 asked hint what
year it was now, He said he did ll-‘l
know. We told him it was August.
ISM. Then wemked him what year it
was one year ago last Septcmlur, He
did notzknow; he had bad no “I.‘il’lllnfl;“
he did not keep any accounts. \\‘e usk~
ed him if it would be 1850 or 1:70. , lie
said 18-30, “I reckon.“ Then weaskcd
ed.
anything about it. “'8 asked him if it
was III the spring or in the full. He said
In“ “I l’r‘t‘ki'lt.“
could not tell the month if it was full,
for he had said it was one year alto last
September. \Vell, no, he did no? “ .ow.
\\‘o asked hint if it was .lunuiiry, April.
or Novembei. Lie said April “I reckon.“
This was a fair sample of them. They
knew nothing but what someone had
told them. \\‘liat the priest or some
politician or leading man had told them
was all right, and they would follow—
rio mind nor purpose of their own. This
was Southern chivalry. the men that
looked with disdain on the greasy me-
chanic and mud sills ofthe north; and
did not_wzint to belong to the same coun-
try. _ -
Aug. 23,—was very warm. The fun-
eral of Mrs. \Vard was intended today,
some of the officers of the Seventy fifth
Ohio and our own regiments acting as
pallbearers. I was kept quite busy_st
the enrolling office. ‘
Aug. 24.—It was now almost two
weeks since we had had a steamer.
Everything had become monotonua.
About all the excitement in the city was
at the enrolling office. We gave all
military subjects the privelege of enlists
ing and receiving the bounty. but; very
few accepted the privelege. About all
had been to the oflice that would come
of their own free will. We had to send
a guard now and bring them in which
made. sport for the boys who liked the
fun of going after one of the Johnnies
and marching him In.
Aug. 25.—Extremely hot. Steamer
‘Genl. Uooker’ arrived with a mail.
Aug. 26.-—Nothing new.
Aug. 27.——Stesmcr ‘Genl,’ Hooker‘
sailed. The four companies that were
stationed at Magnolia had been releived
by colored troops. Some were sent to
Picolata. and companies F and H arriv~
ed in St. Augustine to—day. The com~
parties had all changed from one place to
another, so that every company of the
regiment,'except G, had been away from
St. Augustine some of the time; but 00.,
(i never left the city until after Lee‘s
surrender. We now had at. St. Augus~
tine companies D, E, F. G. H. the other
five companies were at Picalata.
Aug. 28. Sunday.—-\"ery hot and dry.
Attended church afternoon'nnd evening.
Two years to-dny since we were sworn
into the United States service. One
year more to aerve.

dry. Nothing new.
Aug. 3l.-Still very warm in the fore-
noon. In the afternoon web“ a heavy
shower which made the air cool and nice
in the evening.

I will give you a list. of the furniture. It

\Ve asked him if I“, steamer was usource of pleasing- to the surance companies against persons of

monotony of the life we were living.

Oct. 1‘! to Ltd—Very dull. Band gone.
Colonel and Adjutant gone. Everybody

Oct. 15.—Steamer ‘Cnnonicus‘ arrived
with a mail. Some one who had been
down to the provost marshal‘s office
this morning, said when they returned
that a northern man and his family had
come across the lines and taken the oath
of allegiance. and that he formerly was
from Ridgefield, Ct. I immediately
went down to the office and found to my
great surprise “’11). B. Jones, who had
been assistant Postmaster in Ridgefield,
and who I was well acquainted with.
He had gone to Florida some years be.
fore for the benefit 'of his health, and
when the war broke out he was in the
interior of the state, and could not get.
away. He had his wife and child with
him. He was very glad to meet me and
tears ran down his cheeks as he reeoun~
ted to me his privatione and the trials ho
had in getting into our lines. He had
been conscripted three times and carried
off to the rebel camps, but his health
was such he could do no service. He.
had been a long time trying to obtain
permission to cross the lines, but had
failed to get. a pass. At last the confed~
crates consented to let him pass, but
would not give any assisteuce, not even
a flag of truce. He undertook the jour-
ney unassisted. He obtained a mule
and cart. Punting what little of this-
worlds goods he had left in the cart with
his wife and child, he traveled sevenly’
miles through that bnrren country to
Pilstka. Here he had to cross the St.
J ohn‘s river. He could not find a hour,
not even a dugout. He finally found
three logcthst. had been hewn. With
the assistance of some negroes he float-
ed them togetber, and putting them
alongsrde of each other, nailed some
boards across to keep them in place.
Then putting an old door on top, be had
a craft of his own building. In the
morning he put his bed and whet few
things be had on the door, and getting
on himself, together with his wife and
child, floated across the river. He was
nearly two thirds, of the day in crossing,
not having any motive power except c
piece of board to peddle with. The riv-
er at this place is about one undo. half
miles wide. After landing he found
some natives who minted him to food
