Coleman had fallen into the hands of Confederate troopers when he was deserting to the Union lines did not disturb him for an instant, nor indeed had he any reason to fear as long as he wore a gray uniform and did nothing to rouse the suspicion of his companions. He had made up his mind not to go back with the troopers to Bragg’s army. Fortunately for his purpose, just at daylight the following morning the camp of the Confederate scouts was surrounded by a battalion of the First Kentucky Union cavalry'under the commi’nd”of Captain Adams, and without firing a shot the former surrendered. - Coleman was at once sent back to Nashville with the other prisoners. At that time prisoners were held only until such time as arrangements could be made for their exchange, which was a matter of constant occurrence, so that it was with much surprise as well as alarm for his safety that Coleman’s Confederate companions saw him one day singled out and removed from their midst. They did not know that the young man had communicated his secret to Andrew Johnson, then the military governor of Tennessee, with headquarters at Nashville, and that instead of being harshly. treated, as they imagined, he was received with the greatest consideration and at once taken before the man who at that time was the fore- most representative of the Union ele- ment in the south. Governor Johnson was quick to appreciate the value of Coleman’s information, and although naturally a suspicious man it would seem that from the first he never entertained a doubt of the young man’s fidelity to the Union. The governor provided Coleman with citizen’s clothing, made him shave off his whiskers and then sent him with a letter to Geueral Rosecrans, whose headquarters had been changed to Murfreesboro. ‘General Boseeran eumained Coleman, whom he might have regarded ‘with suspicion and so kept under guard had it not been for the chance entrance of General McCook. McCook recalled Snow, whom, it will be remembered, he met in the course of Bragg’s Ken- tucky campaign. - He also recalled his talks with the young New Englander about Coleman and the entire accuracy of the signal code he had brought through with him. | It was at my suggestion, ’’ said General McCook, ‘‘that Snow was permitted to go through to the enemy again, and Ihave been surprised at not hearing from , that daring fellow during the campaign just closed.’’ ‘You would have heard from him and to the advantage of the Union army,’’ replied Coleman, ‘‘had it not been for his discovery while trying to get through the lines on New Year’s night,’’ and then he told of the ezecution of his comrade. ~~ | After Coleman had expressed his readiness to communicate the Confederate code to the signal officers of the Army of the Cumberland, General Rosecrans gaid in effect: i **You could beof the greatest help to our cause if you enlisted in the Union army or became attached. to our secret _ Service, but you must be aware that under the circumstances we have no right to command you.”’ ‘IT understand the situation fully,” paid Coleman, ‘‘and if I had been north at the outbreak of the war I should have enlisted among the first in the Union army, but I think that I can now be of greater service than if I fought in the ranks or had a commission. ”’ ) On being asked to explain he contin- | ued: “T am satisfied that before I left the Confederate service I was regarded with suspicion. My absence under the - circumstances will confirm this suspicion into a certainty, so that if I again fell into the hands of my past friends the chances are that I would speedily share the fata of poor Snow. In addition to my knowledge of the Confederate signal service aud the fact that I have myself invented the best of their ciphers I am, I think, a good telegraph operator, and I can read by sound better than most men can with the aid of the tape. It is for you to say how my knowledge oan be used tothe bast advantage. After I have paid a brief visit to my old home in Ohio I shall be at your service. ’’ This was satisfactory to the Union general, but as intelligent deserters from the eaemy were by no means rare Coleman’s story about his friends in Portsmouth and Cincinnati was corroborated by direct communication before he was permitted to go north. Two weeks after leaving Nashville Coleman was visiting his parents, who by this time had moved to Newport, Ky., just across the river from Cincinnati, when he received a communication asking him to report to General Sherman, then at Memphis, where prepara-. “ ¢ions were being made for the Vicks_ burg campaign. General Sherman, who ‘was an excellent judge of human nature, was quick to appreciate the remarkable abilities of Coleman, and, : with his customary energy, he set about testing them at once. The young man was sent to Corinth, from which point he entered the enemy’s. lines and came back with a lot of messages stolen from ' the telegraph lines between Grenada and Jackson, Miss. These were not of " “reat importance, but the rapidity and entire success of the expedition confirmed the good opinion General Sherman had formed of Coleman’s character. After this he returned to Memphis and joined General Grant in his campaign against Vicksburg. It will be remembered that in the spring of 1863 Grant. marched his army down. the ‘Louisiana shore of ‘the Mississippi and crossed to the east bank at Bruinsboro on By this time Coleman was in the possesbuats that had run the gantlet of the service.

Mr. Bryce, well known as a publisher in Glasgow, relates how the late Mr. Crowther of Manchester, a famous collector of rare books, asked him to republish an old seventeenth century volume called ‘‘Essays on Several Subjects, written by Sir Thomas Pope Blount, London, 1691.’’ The copy which Mr. Crowther had was so rare that he believed only two others were in existence -—one in the British museum and the other in the Bodleian library. “A copy,’’ he wrote, ‘‘is of priceless value,’ and he gave minute instructions as to the care which must be taken of that which he was sending. Thinking, however, that Mr. Crowther might be mistaken as to the exceeding scarcity of the book, Mr. Bryce advertised, and after the lapse of several weeks he received notice that one oo be had for 1s. 6d.
