AEDERsOEVILLE PRISON. t.
NEW York, August 10.
The Tribune's Washington special says
q private letter from Captain James N.
Moore, A. Q. NJ, who was dispatched to
Andersonville, Georgia, for the purpose of
giving decent burial to the remains of
our prisoners who were murdered by the
late rebel authorities, was received this
morning by ]. E. Potts, chief clerk of his
office in Washington. The Captain writes
under date of July 26th: We are en-
camped within one hundred yards of the
prison pen of Andersonville and it is in
the fullest sense of the word nothing more
than pen-a human pen, where $4,000 of
our brave soldiers we're huddled together
in an enclosure not 200 CARDS long and
scarcely 100 wide, where they we're ex-
posed to the rays of an almost tropical sun
for months, resulting in the death of
thousands. This prison pen should never
be permitted to be removed, but should
stand until its stockade falls to the ground
by decay, so that the people of the North
may be able to look on this ground and
convince themselves OF the inhumsn cruelty
perpetrated by the Sothern leaders on our
prisoners. This is about the hottest place
in the South. There are yet about $4,000
head-boArds to be lettered and put up, and
may not get home before the latter part
of August.
WERTZ.
The same special says: The trial of the
Andersonvills jAilor, Werts, will probably
not take place under two weeks. In the
meantime ever y effort is being made to se-
cure voluminous testimony in his case to
substanliats the charges brought against
him. A large number of letters from Off
GERS and men who we're confined at Ander-
sonviIle, have been received, all relative to
his treatment of our prisoners.
VISITORS.
The rush of Southern visitors still con-
tinue ubabated. A great majority stop at
Wizards, the register of which house
shows nearly one-hslf of the arrivals TO be
from the States lately in rebellion. Their
business here is generally the collection Of
military claims sgsinst the government.
which they sometimes succeed in having
admitted.
EX-SENATOR RIVEs.
The Times Washington special ssyE
that Ex-senator William C. Rives, o
Virginis, whose application for pardon
was filed few days ago in the Attorne!
