For the first time'in their lives they were men, not “‘hoys”—not chattels to be disposed of at the will of a master. but owning themselves. treated with respect, and considered worthy to take part with white men in defending the union. In many of them the almost immediate change in look and bearing from cringing humility or unmeaning levity to earnest willing- ness and self-confidence was strikingly slaves as th apparent; in others the change gradually, as though time was need to make them realize the revolution But it was sur- the vast majority s required of them that had taken place. prising how quickly learned well what w and how few rascals there were. In- temperance and profanity were exceed- ingly rare among them, and the guard house opened its doors to a much less number than was usual in white regi- ments.

Vor, a man would change his name when he enlisted,thus making it very difficult for his mast to trace him, besides causing confusion and a good deal of merriment among the young officers, as those who took new names invariably forgot them. “Andy Smith!” the sergeant would ery ut roll-call; but no Andy Smith would answer until, the name having been repeated several times, some com- rade would nudge the fellow who hed assumed it, saying: \ml\ Smith; don’t you 'mem- a certificato of 1 marshal of th was satisfactory, ber you And then there would be a start and an exclamation of: “S0 1 is—I done forgot!” followed by aloud “Here!” Amusing and sometimes pathetic scenes between masters and servants were of frequent occurrence. It was surprising in how short a time a poor, crying, slovenly slave became o bright, néat, sclf-assert- ing man. One morning a tall who had tramped several days o get to us, was brought to headquarters, He looked as though he had been driven and hunted all his life; but he w strongly built, and his ebony coun nunce, though showing o gooil deal of oxpressed fearlo and resolution. ‘The oficer who accom- panied him reported him sound in eve ungainly fellow, except that he stuttered bad 3efore the colonel could s lllu fellow managed, with much dffi culty, to get out an .-urnmt request that he should not be *jected.” “But you could not give the counter- sign if ¢ lenged,” said the colonel, *, me, pl s colonel,”? the poor man stutt He was tried with the regular dreill orde and the proof of the man’s pluck was that, though surrounded by a crowd that laughed at his ridiculous efforts, he made an_heroic stagger at every order, and with a certain air of dignity that had its effed At any rate,the colonel, plensed with his manly, bearing, told I:im that if he would come up the next morning and give those orders withouu stuttering he should be mustered into the service. Whether what his com- rades asserted, that he spent the night practising in the grove back of the barracks, was true or not, it jsa fuet that the next morning he appeared bright and cheery, and in @ voico that resounded over the campus he repeated every order promptly und intelligibly, He was accepied” and afew days afterwards put on guard atthe foot of the hill. As he was quietly pacing up and down his boat, a man rode by, sprang to the ground, and saying, “Look after my horse, fellow,” started to walle up the hill. He failed 1o recognize in the neat, soldier whom he had add runavay siuve. But the slive his lute mastor, and with the sense of security inspired by his uniform and his loanded musket, he stepped for- wird. He could now suy “Halt!” with- out stuttering. and he said itin a very deeided tone. Aund thon the master, looking sharpiy at bim, exclaimed with un oath: o “'Sam, you doing *Defendin’ Sam stuttered.

They felt ¢ that if they could see them they could peesuade them to return, as they could not hear the thought of the hardships the *boys™ must undergo in army life. The colonel looked over the roll and found the names of the “*boys” who had enlisted two weeks before. He en- formed the ladies that, even if willing, these soldiers could not be remanded to but if they would like to see them, he would send for them. The ladies requested that this be done, and an orderly was dispatehed to bring the fugitiv Few worse specimens asregarded rag- gedness and generpl evidences of hard usage, thaa these two men had come up from the western shore.
