Salisbury and Andersen,i,le Compared.
To the Editor NATIONAL TarpUvE:

10 tne ECltOf NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
In looking your list of the National eenae-
teTies was particularly struck by the comparative
statement OF tie number OF internlcnts at AnCler-
sonviile and Salisbury. was prisoner myself
at the latter prison. and would like TO have its
horrors shown up III their true light. Anderson
vile Is always referred 70 the hell but think
the figures published IN yotEr paper show that Sal
follows: Anderscnville, known, I279S; I'M
known, gal; total. Is, IA. Salisbury, known, a.
unknown, 1902; tetal, 2l26. Excess at Anl;er-
sonviile over Salisbury. SIS Now If had the
facts and figures, would like to show the differ
ence IN TIE two prisons when they established
military prisons; how long they were used as
such; how many prisoners were confined in them
froE first to last, and think if those facts were
obtaiuable the AnftersOnviile prisoners woud
admit that we of Salisbury were better off.
When strangers. learning that 1 WIS an ex-fris-
oner, have asked what prison WAS in, and been
told Salisbury, have seen aIook pass over their
faces, which said eioGuently words: :" On
well. you were not in AndersonvilIe.''

toned this fact in my narrative, but did not think

wished to state nothing but the facts.
The canal, as we dug it, was about forty feet
wide and from eight to twelve feet deep, and in
the course OF the work we had to remove quite a
number OF trees. 1t was o very tedious job and
progressed slowly for time. Towards the last

 His wife, with the plaster all ready, soon came back softly, so as not to awaken anyone. The car was dark ened, and all the sections looked alike, and, for a moment she was confused, but smothered suore, which sounded like a groan, near at hand, assured her.
