We passed the night in the veranda of anforces at a place called Canton, not far from Jackson. I called on Captain Matthews, the officeldiers, on the engine, and we started towards Jackson.

When I saw him he was in a great state of disgust in c I have been treated by all with more than kindness. The only occasion on which I was roughly handled was when I had the misfortune to enter the city of Jackson, Mississippi, just as the Federals evacuated it. I do not complain of that affair, which, under the circumstances, was not to be wondered at. I have never met a man who
