John III. Winder.

As sample Of lying, hypocritical
mendacity this has no superior as an
appeal to a semi-educated constituency.
Then, later in the war, his selection of
Gen. John HI. Winder, the renegade
commission merchant Of Dubuque, Iowa,
where he and sons were in business
for several years prior to the war,
though OF Maryland birth, to have
charge Of all the prisoners Of war, was
a further evidence OF his brutal inten-
ton against our fellow-comrades In
prison.
So execrated was this Winder in Rich
mond that when he came to inspect
Castle Thunder, while was there, the
rebel inmates heaped upon him, in his
presence, and surrounded by guards
such epithets of contumely that he or
dered his guard to fire into them. This
man, to signalize his devotion to his
chief, was guilty Of bloodcurdling at
trocities. Here is a sample.
During the Summer Of 1854 the world
was shocked by reports that came from
Andersonville, and Gen. Winder, fear
ing a military expedition might attempt
to effect the liberation or the 30, 900 VIC
Tins Of his charnel house, issued the
following order:
