the young man in his old uniform pre-

A Missourian who recently had letter
from Fourth Illinois man in the MI.

per as follows:
Editor Mt. Vernon Register Seeing the
letter from Mr.. French of the Fourth Illi-
nois Volunteers at Savannah. Ga, in your
paper Of the 9Th inst. brings to my mind
my experience at that city just thirty
four years ago I was in a lot Of 10 900
prisoners who were moved from Anderson
ing overcome by heat the day of our ar-
rival l knew nothing for a day or two.
When revived found myself with about
200 Others of my fellow prisoners who were
sick or crippled, outside of the stockade
(prison loD with a guard line surround
ing US where we remained a few lays,
but our condition so aroused the citizens
of that noble city that they relieved the
Confederate government of the expense CT
feeding us. Many noble citizens, ladies'
especially, coming to the guard line and
throwing food and tobacco to us until
we (the sick and lance were removed TO
the yard of the old United States Marine
Hospital While there the Angels" of
the city sent us many little things OUT
side of the regular bill of fare.
Never to the day of my death will I for
get the red-headed, cross-eyed little girl
who used to come almost every afternoon
and hand US red pepper and small pickles
through a small hole i'm the solid old board
gate, and all the view we could get of
the little red-headed angel was through
that hole, just large enough for her 10
slip her little n-year old hand through,
and she was so timid that she could not
pick up the courage to ask the guard to
let her in. Now when / count il up, if
stIll living. she is As years old.
And now to the boys from Southern IL
linois, now at Savannah, l wish TO say
that | congratulate you on having been
stationed at that good old city, and should
you chance to meet a lady corresponding
to the one mentioned and she should prove
to be the dispenser of the pepper and
pickles, I do not think Mrs. Melvin, or
that ladys husband, IL she has one, could
have any serious objections If you should
kindly 10 favor me. Of course) bestow a
gentle kiss, for It would be by proxy, you
know.
While at home on parole furlough in
March, 1865, l was rejoiced to hear that
after our army passed through Georgia
citizens of Boston. Mass. sent a ship
load of provisions and clothing to Savan-
nah as a token of what Savannah's faith
ers and mothers had done for Boston's
parents after the British army had sacked
that city during the revolution. The six
weeks at Savannah will always be the
green spot in my memory of prison life
in the war of 1876. Very respectfully,
