moro varied and needed exercise, especial

outdoor or indoor sport. We congratu-
late our young ladies and gentlemen upon
the zeal with which they have taken up so
good a game, and the personal proves,
which so many exhibit. Last Saturday

ANDERSOSyILLE,
The Present Appearance of the CeIc-
brntcd Locality.

A writer in the Cincinnati Morn,ng J0tr-
nal siys-Andcrson is the name Of a station
on the Southwestern Railroad, about 90
miles from Macon. 1t is nothing but u rail-
road station, and the only thing that char
acterizes the spot is the immense L Mon Gem.
etery of some 90 acres, over which floats
the star .spangled banner. The cemetery Is
constructed on the spot where the prisoners
were buried, and the trenches were dug
with such precision and regularity that the
soldiers were not disturbed, but allowed to
remain US their comrades inferred them,
working under the watohful eye and fixed
bayonets of the Georgia Home Guards.
The cemetery IS surrounded by stout
wall, with an iron gate and is under the
supervision of a superintendent who lives
on the grounds. 1t is plain spot There is
not much attempt made to ornament
this city of our martyrcd dead. 1t would
take a great deal of even such influence us
plants and flowers possesses to dispcl the
melancholy memories that haunt this hill IN
the pine woods of southern Georgia.
Southernrrs shun the spot, but the Gene
terry is much visited by Northern travellers,
aud the register in the superintendent lodge
contains many strange inscriptions besides
the names of the visitors. One lady asks
forgiveness of God for the murder of her
brother who sleeps in the cemetery.
Occasionally q man who was in the stock
ade turns up among the visitors. These
men, whatever their natural temper, the
superintendent says, can almost be dlsin.
guishcd by the effects of fear, dread, and
vivid recollection which come back like a
shock into their faces as they now stand OH
the quiet and sunlit scene of their war en-.
perience.
In the cemetery the ground is OF general
