The Horrors OF Andersonville.

Alonzo Avery ana l.. Matthews, Of the
Ninth Minnesota Regiment, vino were
confined for several months a. Anderson
vile. Ca, have furnished the St, Paul
Press with some facts and statistics OF the
atrocious treatment OF our prisoners, that
present most WILDLY the shocking barbar-
ity of the rebels. The general correctness
of their figures is proved by the fact that
they nearly coincide, being, in fact, a lit
tie below those of the official death-roll
sent to our Exchange Commissioners at
Vicksburg:
Sergeant Avery gives list of the mem
bers Of his own regiment who died there;
with their number on the death register,
and the names of few belonging to other
Minnesota regiments.
The e1rliest death he records is that of
Ashley Wood, died May 10th, 1864, No CSC.
The next is No. 1911, on May 10Th, show
ing that 2225 prisoners died in nine days
The next death among the Minnesota SOL
diers occurred July Ii, at which date the
death number had reached 3,2s7, showing
mortality Of 2,O76 in tittysix days. On
the first Of August the deaths had amounts
ed to Ass, being AN increase OF l,2ll in
seventeen days. To August 18th, 1917
more had died, and on the 30,h OF that
month the total number OF murders had
reached 1872, being nearly one hundred
daily during the month. For the month of
September the deaths were 2.s74. and from
the LIST to the 18th of October Az, at which
date the whole number of the dead was
1908. Before, or about this time, prison.
ers began to be moved to Savannah for ex-
change, and others to Millen Prison in
Georgia, aud Florence, South Caro!ina; yet
with this diminution, beside the horrible
reduction by death, 1858 more prisoners,
persisted In the Andersonville Golgotha, by
February II, 1865. the whole number being
then Il 658.
The writer says: 1.-THE foregoing list of
deaths can vouch for as correct, as had
charge Of the graveyard, and made the
death report each day. It is needless to
say anything in regard to the manner in
which they were buried, as the public are
aware of the fact ere this that they were
stripped of all their clothing and buried
without cofins. or anything but two feet OF
Georgia soil for covering. Such is the
ceive when in the hands Of rehels, after
long suffering, and at last dying the death
Of all Gleaths-starvation. Twelve thOus.
and eight hundred and eightv-four were
registered in the death register on the Gath
of March, 1866. 1t Is safe to say that over
one-half of all prisoners that ever entered
Andersonville are numbered with those
that are not"
Mr.. Matthews writes: 1.-TWO hundred
and seventy Of Us iof the 9th Minnesota)
went into the Andersonyille stockade.
Some few went to Florence, in South
Carolina, but the most of them have died.
