Horrors of Andersonyi,Ic.

There is no one fact more undeniably
true in reference to the cruelties of the
rebels, than the oft repeated announce
ment of the unparalleled inhumanity
which they exhibit in the treatment of
prisoners. The numerous skeleton forms
which have been released from Anderson
vile, Fl5rance AMI other equally notori-
Gus places, have impressed the truth upon
our unwailing ears-to say nothing of the
fearfully large list of deaths reported. -
Mrs. DR.. Lowman has kindly consented to
the publication of the following letter
which she received from her brother,
which will, we have no doVbt, be read with
interest 1t fully coroborates all that we
have heard on the subject. The follow
ing is the letter:
KossUTH, Iowa, Jan. 10, 1865.
Dear Sisfer:-You wish. me to give
you an account of my trip through "Se-
cessis," as a prisoner | was with my
regiment on raid, in the real of Atlanta,
when captured, July 20, 1864, under the
command of Gen Ed M'Cook. After
leaving the army lying on line east and
west, north of Atlanta, We made circuit
and came to the Chattahoochie river, where
we crossed. advanced nine miles out to
Palmetto, little town on the West Point
r. r., we burnt the depot, train of
cars and played smash with the Jonney's
"Corn cracker line, from there we crossed
to the Macon r. r. near Jonesboro, on
our way we run into their trains, destroyed
about 500 wagons, captured near 400 prs-
oners, 2000 mules. We struck the Macon
R.R. four miles from Jonesboro, W here our
commander lay drunk from 7 a. IN, until
p. m, when we started back end were at
tacted by Wheeler's force, numbering
about 5000, our force only 100; we
fought him all afternoon, and still retrea-
ting until we struck the West Poiift road
again. Next morning at Nownan,
we were met by Roddy, with 5000
dismounted Cavalry We fought them
until after sundown, when about one third
the command was captured all from the
effects Of liquor. We were taken to An
dersonville, where we arrived on the I'd
Of August, when We were striped and
searched, making the sixth time we were
American citizen. [volume] (Butler, Butler County, Pa.) 1863-1872, 1865-01-25

We have noticed that Mr. IIaslett, of
this county, has read in, place bill au-
thorizing the Directors of the Butlerand
Al'cglany Plank Road, to increase their
toll fifty per cent This is quite an ad-
vance; and We are inclined to the opin-
ion that unless limited to the winter sea-
son, will work injustice without materi-
ally increasing the revenue of the road
Let such law operate frem the first OF
November to the first of May, and it
would improve the finances Of the COM
pany because all would have to travel the
road during that season of the year; but
with such heavy rates, few farmers that
could avail themselves of summer roads
would travel the plank at all--and those
only who were, from the nature of their
business, compelled to travel it would
pay the high rates In this we only
speak our own convictions as we have
heard no general opinion expressed on
the subject. All have an interest in it
and if the people acqucsce now, they
must not complain afterwards. 1t is
due the Company to say, that, we under.
stand the present earnings Of the road,
are quite insufficient to meet the ncccs-
sary expenditure.
Since writing the above we have been
called on by some Of our citizens who are
decidedly opposed to the Legislation,
above named-whoro the majority of in
torest goes, we are not aware.
