Romance of AndersonvI.e Prison Just
Brought to Light.
Discussion of the movement toward
erecting q monument to Captain Hen
ry WirZ, who was commandment of the
Andersonville prison, has brought a
hitherto unpublished story to light.
The relator of the story, a resident
of Americas, Ga, often visited the
prison, where her husband was doing
duty for the Confederate government
Upon one of her visits Captain Wirz
said that he neeled her assistance.
He conducted her to a small tent just
outside the prison stockade. Within
was a woman-a Federal prisoner with
day old babe in her arms, while by
her side sat her husband, also a pris-
oner.
The woman, in male attire, had been
brought to the prison pen a few days
before. The captured party, including
her husband, were Ohioans and when
surprised by the Confederates she
hastily donned a suit Of her husband S
clothes in order that they might not be
separated
When the real situation had been dis
| covered the day previous, through
statements made by her husband, Cap
tain Wirz had the couple hastily re
moved to the tent outside the prison
and there the babe was born.
In the visitor the poor woman found
friend. She quickly returned to
Americas and secured for the mother
and babe necessary clothing and medi
cine and such food and comforts as
her then limited means allowed. SooI
thereafter the Ohioan, his wife an6
babe were sent away from the prison

Few generals were so beloved and
revered by their soldiers as Stonewall
Jackson, the great tanker" was by
his. His simplicity, strength, daring,
skill and indomitable will endeared
him to his troops, while his successes
reused their admiration. Whenever
great cheering was heard in Jackson's
camp those who We're detained from
being present at the occasion would
say, Here comes either Jackson or an
old rabbit
At one time when Jackson's camp
was on the southern bank of the Rap
pahannock and that of the Federals on
the northern bank of that river a
friendly intercourse, not only confined
to the exchange of coffee and tobacco,
existed between the outposts of the
two armies, and friendly greetings
were often exchanged across the river.
One day when Jackson rode along the
river and the Confederate troops ran
together, as was their custom, to greet
him with a yell the Federal pickets
shouted across the river asking what il
was all about. 'Stonewall is coming"
was the reply, and Immediately, to
] Jackson's establishment. the cry 'Hur-
rah for Stonewall jackson" rang out
from the Federal ranks. Thus the
voice of north and south, prophetic Of
a time of renewed unity, mingled in
reclamation of a great soldier.-Los
