Excerpts From ST Paul Papers of Dec.
IL, 1864.

A st. Paulite, who has served a
term in the Andersonville prison,
but who, with a pa 'ty of several
others succeeded in escaping. tells
a remarkable story of that place.
At one time there was more than
80, 900 Union soldiers congregated
there. Of these about 200 we're
desperate characters-men guilty
of every vice, thieves and even
murderers. These all banded to-
gether to practice their evil deeds
in this camp on the men confined
there as prisoners from their own
army. Their custom was to sieze
any man who came into camp and
rob him of everything they had,
and if he made the least cutlery, to
murder him on the spot. Many of
their victims were found buried in
their tents.

A specimen of the devastation
wrought by Sherman's army is
shown by the following appeal from
the mayor of MilledReville, Ca, to
other southern cities; "Our citizens
have been utterly degpoiled by the
Yankee army. Send = read and
meat at once, a. mere is alreadv
great suffering among US. They
have taken all our mules and horses.
What you send must be brought by
wagon trains. The railroad bridge
and the wagon bridge across the
Oconee have been burned"
St. Paulites are invited to join in
contributions towards Christmas
dinner of turkeys and other luxur-
les for Sherman's army as soon as
it reaches the coast. They will
likely have good appetites after
their strenuous journey through
Georgia.
It would seem as if the wood
dealers would be satisfied with re-
ceiving 81 per cord for their wood
without resorting to trickery to
still further increase their profits.
One dodge of these extortioners is
to halt just outside the city, unload
their wood and replace it on the
rack in the loosest possible man
ner. BY this means they make a
quarter of cord on one load. One
man with one team can thus make
about thousand dollars moresthan
he is entitled to in a winters work.

thorities and the latter consented
to arrest the suspected ones and
turn them over to the Unionists for
justice. A guard was sent into
camp and over 200 suspects were
