Mr.. George b. Meadyille, locomotive en-
giDeer on the Pennsylvania Railroad, running
between Altoona and Derry, and resident of
Altoona, has the distinction of being the first
Union soldier entering as a prisoner the rebel
prisons Oh Belle Island, Va, and at Anderson
vile, Ga. Mr.. Meadyille, iii response TO Presi-
dent I4incoln's call for troops, enlisted August
20, 1861, and was assigned TO company f. 10Th
regiment, Keystone Zouayes. He was at that
time seventeen years of age, aud little antici-
pated the hardships he was to endure before
becoming civilian again. He had been in
active service over two years when he had the
misfortune to become a prisoner of war, which
! term means-when applied to those who fell
1 into the hands of the Confederates during the
| late war-indescribable horrors. He was first
| confined in Charleston from there he was
/ taken TO the celebrated Libby prison. aud
/ thence TO Belle Island, with other prisoners.
/ which was the first detachment confined on ahe
/ island and he was the first of the number to
/ step ashore and was known as Prisoner No.
4 / during his confinement there From Belle
| Island he WAS removed to Pemberton and from
Pcmberton taken IN company with about 800
other prisoners to Andersonyiile in February,
1864, at which time the stockades were not
4 completed, and being at the head OF the body,
| he was the first man of the first body of North
! ern soldiers to step inside the pen, ia which
thousands of the Nortlls brave boys were to
die. He was confined there until September,
experiencing the horrible priyations and suf-
feriDgs which the pens of able writers have
not been able TO half describe. He was sta
toned near the place where the wonderful
providence spring burst forth and was the first
10 test its waters, and he is a firm believer in
its divine origin. From Anders0nyiile he was
transferred TO Savannah; from there to Nillen,
and from Millen to Gods country,n as the
soldiers fervently termed the North. The war
having come to a close he was honorably dis
charged from the service OF the country, he
having been in Government service over four
years sixteen months Of which has been spent
in the custody Of the rebels. Mr. Meadville is
now in his thirty -ninth year, and the marks OF
prison life, which are plainly visible on his
intelligent face. make him appear nearly
twenty years older.--F itts5svgh Leader

The pain that followed the cutting round the

compared with the torture that followed the
tearing OF il from my head. Stfeaks Of pain
