colored troops, a graduate of Yale. About ten o'clock in the morning of October i8th, as we were seated on the ground near house num- ber four, loudly imitating Professor Cook's parlez- vous, Lieut. Wm. C. Gardner, adjutant of one of those extemporized battalions of prisoners, brought me a letter he was intending to throw across the "dead line" to Sergt. Wallace W.Smith, requesting him to notify all enlisted men of the battalion when and where to assemble silently next morning in the dark, how ...to arm themselves, from whom to take orders, what signal to watch for, and other important matters. I glanced through it, and immediately said: ''You'd better not entrust the communication to so hazardous a channel; wait an hour till I've done with my 70 Lights and Shadows French lesson, and I'll cause it to be transmitted by the deaf-and-dumb alphabet." If I recollect rightly, either Lieutenant Tobey or Lieutenant Morton, both of the 58th Massachusetts, was in the class, and promised to convey the contents of the letter safely across to the soldiers by adroit finger manipulation.
