a Monument TO Capt. vHirz.

The Georgia Division Of the Dsugh.
ters of the Confederacy Convention,
held in Macon. have started a move.
ment to erect monument to Cant.
Wlrz, commander of the prison at
AndeEsonville. Their resolutions
will be endorsed by every Confederate
soldier aa the right thing to do in
honor Of the truth of history.
Capt. Wirz was q soldier, and Der.
formed his duty az soldier, and
was murdered after the war by the
Federal government to appease the
wrath of the radical element OF the
Norta. The treatment of the prison
ers at Andersonville was not half as
bad as the treatment Of the Confed-
crates in Northern prisons. This
matter has been fully shown by the
records, as there were z per cent.
more deaths in Northern prisons then
IN the Southern, notwithstanding The
North had ell the medical appliances
Of the world to draw from, while the
South had no medioines-the North
even declaring rquinine oontraband.
We will not discuss this further, but
quote from the resolutions. =
The following action was taken by
Savannah Chapter:
Mrs. A. G. Benning, Of Columbus,
moved that "that convention adopt
the resolution Of Mrs. Young, of Sa-
vannah, and that the Georgia Divis:
ion, U. D. c., at once take the initia-
tive, and secure funds to erect at An.
dersonvillc, Ca, e monument which
shall stand as the protest of the South
against the slanders and falsehoods,
already displayed in bronze and mar
bic ct that place.: Seconded by Mrs.
NJ. L: johnson, Of Cass Station, and
carried. -.
The resolution offered by Mrs.
Young reads as follo~s:
"Whereas. Capt. Henry Wirz, COM
mandant Of the Stookade Prison, at
Andersonville, Ca, was judioiallr
murdered under false charges Of
cruelty to prisoners. And, ...<....: :.
'Wheress, after an interval Of
forty years these false charges are
reiterated on sign boards in public
places, from the pulpit aud on monu-
ments: Therefore, be it +: =
Resolved, That the United Daush.,
tiers Of the Cohfederaoy in Georgia,
use their influence to obtain the
necessary funds to place suitable
memorial to Capt. Wirs, in Anderson:
vile, Ca, upon which statement
Of facts shall be engraved 10 enduring
brass or marble, showing chat the
Federal government was solely respon-
sib'e for the condition Of affairs al
Audersonville. Be it further i
Resolved, That as four Federal
prisoners we're permitted to 60 from
Andersouyille to .Washipgtop to plead
for an exchange Of prisoners, aud
when refused a, hearing returned to
prison, thus keeping their parole, .
tribute to their honor be inscribed on
