12. Sept. 22, 1870 THREE THOUSAND CONFEDERATES AT THE DRY TORTUGAS I saw a man today who gave his name as EDWARD PARKER, and represented that he was a lieutenant in CAPT. J.W. KELLEY'S Co. K, COLONEL GREER'S Reg., 14th NC Calvary, in the Confederate Army; that he was captured at the Battle of Chickamauga on 12th of June, 1862; was sent to Camp Chase and from there to Dry Tortugas, where he has remained until the first of last June. His tale is a stranmge one, but I am forced to believe every word of it- and so would you if you could see this man- and it may interest some of you readers. He says there is still about 3,000 men on the island, who have no means to pay their passage and no way to make enough money to do so. Among those still there whose names he remembered are;JAMES GRADY, THOMAS W. STINSON, WM. STINSON, and GEORGE TAYLOR, of Washington Co.; THOMAS CARTER and JESSE CARTER of Russel, JOHN BLACK and WM. BLACK of Scott; JAMES HIGGINBOTHAM, THOMAS W. MAY, JESSE T. MAY, and WM. A. MAY of Tazewell Co. PARKER saysthat the prisoners were all released at the close of the war, but they have no means of communcation and they are still there in a most wretched condition, their only means of support being derived from labor at the levees at fifty cents per month and by begging. He worked over 5 years to save $36.50 , with which he paid his fare to New Orleans, from which place he has walked since the 7th of June, and begged his way. He is in a most pitible condition, being entirely blind in one eye and very near so in the other, caused by exposure and very lame and crippled up from long walks. He is on his way home to Hopkins Co, N.C., having walked up the Mississippi to the mouth of the Ohio and through Kentucky, several hundred miles out of his way owing, he says to his ignorance of the country and the ignorance of those who gave him the directions.
