\ CAMP PAEoLr. ASxarofis. Nh,
Nvy. 10, 1852.
Mn. EprroR: Is am idle to-day,
! Thought would write u few lines Tor
your paper. Isnprose all my friends
have heard OF my being taken pris-
oncr Of war on ths 10Th Of May last.
when we had TO retreat from Jackson's
Overwhelming force about ten to one.
! was unable to make the march which
our corps did, so /, with a number
more, had to surrender to the barbai-
ous enemy abont eleven miles from
Winchester. ] was marched back to
Winchester and put in prison. had
not had any sleep nor bite to eat for
AS hours, | was kept there until the
3lst Of May on one. .:onrtIl rations.--
Then we were marched to Lynchburg.
We marched seven days with less than
three meals. 1t raincd hard every day
and at night We were placed, 100
men, in small piece Of ground just
enough to lay down or sit mp on all
night. John Donnelly. Ferdinand
Oestreich and myself had only one
blanket for MS three, and after march
ing all day we had to sit down and
throw il over on. heads to keep dry.
All who tainted on the march, and
those whc couldn't keep up, were cru
lelly murdered with the bayonet. W.
were kept in the fair ground at Lyuch-
burg. starving, dirty, with hardly wa
ter enough to drink, until the lib Of
August. There was 90 Of my reg.-
ment among the prisoners, and I3 Of
them died IN the two months wc wers
there. We we're next -eF: to Rich
mond, where we stayed until the 18th
Of Sept, when we were paroiied aud
sent here. Belle Island was where We
were kept when at Richmond. Il was
a horrible camp. All we got to eat
per day was one halt loaf OF bakers
bread, and half pint Of broth with
no salt We were a miserable look
ling set when we got back to Gods
country, unable hardly to walk, and
great many killed themselves eating
when they got where they conld get
victuals enough.
The rebels are in horrible cond:.
tion. Flour is S22 per barrel; bacon
- cts a pound; molasses IS per gal
Ion; boots from $50 to $40 per pair,
and everything else in proporiion.--
The rebels seem anxious for peace, but
hold out they never will come back to
the Union. believe one third Of the
rebel army are good Union men, who
would desert if they had a chance
For my part can't see how they can
keep up the war much longer, but
they fight with great determination.
and seem not 10 fear the battle field.
If there were any secesh in'cld Du-
lois, and they had to be prisoner for
10 days, as was, they would soon
say, Hnrra for the Union, and away
with old jeff and his Conicderacy.
viii speak one word for Captain
Welmap. lie conducted himself as .
brave Captain when facing the enc
my's balls. lie seemed to bs in his
glory. saying, rally, company X, and
wishing he had gun to shoot the yel-
low jackets as they were charging on
us. had the pleasure Of seeing two
fall that my gym was cooked at.
