The town of Vicksburgh stands on the left bank of the Mississippi, and is noted for the severity with which slaves are treated. It was here that Clotel was sold to Mr. James French, a merchant. Mrs. French was severe in the extreme to her servants. Well dressed, but scantily fed, and overworked were all who found a home with her.
Both fell together mortally wounded. Harlowe died almost instantly. The rebels were driven out in a very short time. He was in the Seven Days fight before Richmond, in second Bull Run, Antietam, first Fredericksburgh, Vicksburgh, Jackson, Wilderness, and the campaigns following was as good a soldier as ever wore the blue, and every old officer in the regiment will bear that testimony.
Of course, in this statement there is no mention of the lead buried deep in the earth, and that lost in the river. Entering a great bend, the swift current swept me so rapidly past Vicksburgh that a few moments later I was among the islands and tow- heads of the river. At noon the plantation of Mr. Jefferson Davis was passed.
