| the treatment which captured Union soldier
received at the hands of their "Souther
Brethren" during the rebellion. He W,
wounded in the face, shortly after the son Q
DR., Brown was-killed, who was brave to rash
ness, and was going to the rear, when some on
cried out: " Come In, you Yanki" and of cours
he went in. He was sent Co Richmond, a.,
deprived Of nearly every article of vslue b
had-his shelter tent, kDapsack, blanket, en-,
even small knife that had been presented Il
him by the late Lieut.. Webb. The daily prisol
fare consisted of email piece Of bread abou
two inches square, a piece of pork an inch an,
a half square, and twelve spoonsfui of bear
soup, which contained huls, gravel -. few

prisoners, whe were subject to the most infa-
nous treatment by the infamous Captain wirE

| thing,and several were frozen to death. There
were some desperate men among them, who did
| not hesitate to murder and rob their compan-
ious. Those were known as raiders. police
force was established among the prisoners, and
| seven OF these characters were arrested, tried
convicted and hung by them. He described
he various plans formed for escape, most oil
which were by tunneliug, but ali OF which
failed by reason of the vigilance of the guards
or treachery among the prisoners. In remov.
ing detachment of men from this place, he
with Sergeant Nixon managed to 90 out with
them, and on the following night escaped from
the cars but after wandering about several days
they were captured aud sent to another prison
Here they entered into various plans for escape
all of which were foiled. When he was ex-
changed he was more dead than alive, but by
careful treatment he was restored to health

being firm Unionists, and la the course of his
remarks, observed that loyal negro was to

occasions for being Dclawarian and fighting
against the South, when some of the rebels re-
marked that the lower part of the State was
