IRV INE .) IVr’Ul next attempt to give a de­ scription o£ tho prison. It-compri­ sed about twelve acres, About four of those was a bog where it was impossible for any one to cross without Binking to their neck- The land slopes up on each aide of this, a small stream running about the middle of the swamp, at about the center of the stockade. In this swamp all filth from about 14,000men, and that had accumula­ ted for two months, was found. The slopes wore occupied wo then thought, as closely as could be, but we found out differently. W e were marched to the edge of this bog. Green ilies, maggots, eto„ wove abundant and anawful stencharose. I thought I Could not live, there 21 hours,-but I got bravely over this. Here, we were told by.the Reb. Ser­ geant who came m with us, was the ground we liad to occupy. Standing in this filth half way up to our knees, have to lie down and sleep in it, without any blanket, or shelter—the inward curses I pro­ nounced upon the rebels then—-I do not think though I will have to ac­ count for them; although the Bible says, “Love your enemies.” While I was thinking what I would do* some one laid his hand os my shoulder and says: Hello, old Sam, they have gof you at last.” On turning around: I recognized an old friend belonging to the same regiment, Co. C. that I did. His name was Twlllger. He always Went by the name of Mother. lie was an Orderly Sergeant, and so much like a mother, the boys gave him-that title. . Says he, “Come up and stay with' W . Timberlake and L W# have got a good place” Tim­ berlake heionged to Co. I). 12th, O. V. I. and so did I. He had been captured some four, months before me, had bach on Bella Isle and all the prison buildings in Richmond. He was among the first to enter Andersonyilie prison, 1864. 1 accepted very readily th* invi­ tation, so we wentnp he leading the way .through the orewds, until we, came to a hole In the ground, dog out, perhaps 7 feet long and 6 feet wide, covered over with leafy boughs This hole was a foot of. two deep*, the coveting standing up on forks, bow * could stand up straight at the front, tho rear resting on the ground. The boughs kept tho sun and dew off, but the rain came through the same as a sieve. There were no blankets in tho hole, aad six occupants, myself making the seventh, two belonging to the r ‘ O. V, I . ; two the 17th Pennsylvania and myself making the third from the 12th Ohio. fW e found Timberlake splitting a pine knot to make pome mush, for they had just drawn rations, XT“ W*« glad to hear from the boys of 4-he company, but sorry, be said, to see me bore. Ho said that I should stay with him, and ho would divide with mo what little rations ho hod He drew double rations; b* charge of D« men, and the Robs al­ lowed each Sergeant- two rations The ration at this tune was a quar ter of a pound of pork, a half pound of corn bread, or two thirds t M “ pint of meal. I thanked him told him I thought it too hard for him to divide, when lie had njrt enough to satisfy himself. Ho we would live as long as we could and that I had been a mess mate of his in the regiment and should be h*r<v As tho old saying goes, “A frlotid in need is a friend indeed.” I found him to be 0 true and faith­ ful friend, As I was vsry hungry and had not slept of any conse­ quence for over a week, I eat down on the ground and waited till hehad mad* a five with the pine knot, just sufficient to warm a little water, so as to scald tli* corn meal, for he had not enough to boil it, and this ho called mush. I helped him eat liis rations and was not satisfied. This was about 0 o’clock p. m, In an hour afterwards, the squad I belonged to, was called for rations This was good news for many of the boya, and did not sound bad to me, although I had a share of Timber- lake’s. After we,had got our rations which consisted of a half pound oi rough corn bread and a quarter of a pound of pork for 24 hours, however Alumina and still was hungry,] but had to wait until the next day; for more. I have omitted the structure of this camp. The camp was enclosed with hewed logs about IS inches square, .and 80 feet long, TheBe logs were set m the ground five feet making the stockade 2& feet above bite surface, and fit closely together so you could not pass your hand be­ tween them. On the top of this was biuit sentry bhxes about 50 yards apart. In each box was stationed a sentinel. About 20feet from the stockade was the dead lino. This’ was similar to fencing posh), set in the ground, only farther apart, with a railing on the top, Any-one cros­ sing this line was shot, or for even laying your hand on the line. 3 have seen several shot for a less of fence than this even. The place we had to get our wa­ ter was out of this creek, running through the canter of the camp. It was only swamp water, running food; the former by tho want of I f f 1 1 vegetables and acids. About tbH l g C J l v middle of the month I took the! scurvy. My legs were so drawn] out of shapo I could not walk. M y ; friend Twlllger was fast running] Frefh Story. down with the diarrhea.

It was not an un« j common sight to see one hundred' dead, stripped of their clothing and; laid in a row inside the gate. Our men took the clothes and were com­ pelled to do It, formany had scarce­ ly any clothing. For my part I had hoshoes for over six months. Those that have experienced a winter there, know that it is as severe al­ most as winters are in the north. There is always a heavy dew at t, I saw no snow but very heavy frost. It would freeze two Inches. Time rolled on very slowly until about the fliteenth of July. Then there was a squad of prisoners arrived. I did nob go down to the gate when they came in, but oh the day after I found one of my Com­ pany and an old acquaintance of W. T. Timberlake. Wo took him to where wo stayed and said we would stick together. His name was Charles M, , Schofield of Marle.ttsi, Ohio. He was, cap­ tured about 80miles south of Lewis- burg, West Va.

This was for fear of a raid.

Not knowingjust where to get them he consulted a Sears, Roebuck & Co. mail aider catalogue and wrote this house that he de­ sired to make a purchase'of law books if they would sell them by weight. 'The firm being known to handle every thing from a trading stamps to self binders Informed their prospective, customer that they had just what he wanted but had not been irt the habit of selling books by weight, nevertheless they would make the sal* by weight as they always desired to please their customers. The n* mlnee b&iogtaafiBfled with the price and terms promptly, noti­ fied the concern to fill Uis order providing that settlement be made according to weight over his own scales. Just 'how the company would treat this condition of the sale is not khown; nor will it be until the nominee makes'public the reply. iow for a commanding position. In each fort were three pieces of artil­ lery, ten pounders, making nine pieces* There were five parts of regiments of infantry guarding us poor, ragged, half-starved prisoners There Was a rough frame building just outside the stockade on the bank of the creek, that ran through from Savannah at a station on tho R.

They , tMi■* ,*~,T Mr; Fred Ksnnon onhis way home from town Monday night discover­ ed a light in Mr. Wn». Conley’s barn on the Whitelaw. Iteld farih, Mr, Kennon notified the family tlsat a man had juBtleft tho barnwith a horse and harness. Word was t<J*> phoned to town te Mr. Conley who was attending a meeting, Mr. Conley with Constable John Ross were soon on their trail, as were John Stormont and Fred Kennon. The horse bad bseii hitched to a springwagon belonging to Mr. J. C, Stormont, a neighbor. People along tho line were, notified by telephone but failed'to bead off the stolenproperty. About ten bushel of clover seed belonging to Mr. John Taylor was taken and it is supposed that con­ federates had the seed ready when the Conley outfit came along on tho Columbus pike. Wagons were ex­ changed at the Hardy farm where Mr. Harshbarger lives. Here a market wagon was unloaded of tomatoes and used to haul the seed. The Stormont wagon was left along the roadside. It is supposed that, the men fol­ lowed the Brush road to the Fair- field pike and then into Dayton. Messrs. Ross and Couley were out most of the uight and in the morn­ ing went t6 Dayton. The officers of the Cedarvill* Pro-, tective Association had men in the neighboring towns’. Late in the afternoon Tuesday a telephonemes- sage was received Btatlng that, horse, wagon and seed had been found hitched in Dayton, The bolt had been pulled out of the cross-bar and a strap used to mak* repairs. The horse was badly used. In the Wagon was found Mr, Taylor’s old c*at with a letter addressed ta him,. The men had failed to market tho seed and fearing being caught abandoned the wagon. A good de­ scription was obtained from sesxS men where they had. tried to make a sale.
