I am a Tribune correspondent; was
by the rebels May 3d, 1803, at Mid-•
night, on a hay bale in the Mississippi
river, opposite Vieksburg.. After eon
finement in six different prisons was
sent to Salisbury, N. C.; Febrthiry 3d,
1864, and kept there until' December
18, 1864,•when I escaped, 'For sever
al months Salisbury. was the most en-
Iltrrable-rcbe-4-psison—L4, •7 • •
six hundred inmates, exercised in the
open air, were cothparatively Nell fed
and kindly treated. But early in Oc
tober ten thousand regular!priSoners
of war arrive* there, and ,it imMedi,
ately,Changed int,R a scene-of
. cruelty
and horrors. tVtiff (IZ:.fiSely - e'reAvited;
rations were cut dti‘Vn and issued very
irregularly; friends outside could not
even send in a plate. of toed; the pris
oners suffered constantly 'and often in--
tensely for want.of Water, bread and
shelter.
The rebel authorities placed all the
PrISOn 'hespilalS under charge of my
two journalistic celuratluSaed
Our . position enabled us to Obtain ex
act and miiittte. information. Those
who' had to live or die on the prison
rations always suffered from hunger,—
Very frequently one or more divisions
of a thousand men would receive no
rations for twenty-four . hours; some
times they went without a morsel of
food for forty-eight hours. The fellow
who had money would pay from five
to twenty dollars rebel currency for a
little loaf of bread. Best prisoners
traded the buttons from their blouses
for food. Many, though the weather
was very inclement told snows fre•
fluent, sold coats froin their backs and
Babes from their feet. Yet I was as
sured, on authority entirely trustwor
thy, that the great commissary ware
house, near the prison, was, filled with
provisions ; that the commissariat
fonnd it difficult to obtain storage for
his flour and meal; that when a sub•
ordinate asked the post commandant,
Major John 11. Gee, "Shall I give the
prisoners full vations ?" he replied,-"No,
God damn them;' give them quarter
rations" I know; from personal ob
servation, that corn and pork are very
abundant in the region about Salis
bury.
For several weeks the prisoners had
no shelter whatever. ' They were all
thinly clad. Thousands were barefoot
ed. Not .one ih twenty had either
overcoat or blanket. Many hundreds
wore without shirts, and hundreds
more without . blouses. At last one
Sibley tent lied one "A" tent were
furnished to each squad of one hun
dred. With the closest erw,vding these
sheltered about one half of the prison
ers. The rest burrowed in the ground,
crept under buildings, or shivered
through the night'in the open air, up
on the frozen, muddy, or snowy soil.
If the rebels, at the time of their cap
ture, bad not stolen their shelter -tents,
blankets, clothing, and money,
„they
would have suffered little from cold.—
If the prison antboritieS . had permit
ted a few' hundred of them, either up
on parole or under guard, to
.cut logs
within two mileS of the-garrison, the
prisoners would haVe gladly built Com
fortable and ample barrackS in one
-week, But the commandant would
never, in a densely wooded region,
with the cars which brought in pas•
sing by the walls of the prison, .oven
furnish half ' the fuel whiell was
needed. . • •'
The hospitals were in horrible..con
dition. By crowding , the patients as
thick as they could bo upon the floor
they would contain 'Six hundred in.
mates. They word always full to over
flowing, with thousands seeking :td-
mission in vain. In the two largest
wards, containing jointly 'about two
hundred and fifty patients,' there was

nisi:M(l us soon became toe filth} and
full of vermin for use. The autheri
tie§ never supplied a Single, blanket, or
quilt, or pillow, or-bed, for those :eight
wards; we could not procure even .
brOoms to keep them clean, or cold
water "to wash the hides Of the inmates:
Pneumonia, catarrh, and diarrhea .
were the prevailing diseases; hut, they
were directly the result of hunger and
exposure. More than half who enter
ed the hospitals died in a' very - few
days. The disceased, always without
coffins were loaded into a dead cart,
piled upon each other like_ logs of
wood, and So driven out, to be thrown
into a trench and covered with earth.
• ' The rebel' surgeons- , were—gerrerally
:humane and attentive ; they endeavor:
ed to improve the shocking condition.
of the hospitals, but the Salisbury and
'Richmond authorities both - disregarded
their complaints and protests.
On November 25th, Many of the
prisoners had been without food for
forty-eight hours. Desperate from
hunger, without any matured plan, a
few of them said : "We maras well
die one . way as another; let us break
out,of this horrible place." -Some.of
them wrested the guns from a• relief
guard_ of fifteen rebel soldiers just
en
tering the yard, killing two who resis•
ted,and wounding five or six. Others
attempted to open the fence, but they.
had neither adequate tools nor con•
eez - t of action. Before they could ef
fect a breach every gun in the n•arrison•
was turned upon them ; the field pion-
Ca opened with grape and canister,
and they dispersed to their quarters.
Five minutes from the time of the'
beginning the attempt was quelled,
and hardly a prisoner to be seen in the.
yard. My own quarters Were a -hun
dred and fifty yards from the scene of
the insurrection; in our vicinity there
had been no partieipation at all imit,
and yet, for twenty minutes after it
was ended, the guard upon the fence
on each Side of us, with deliberate
aim, fired into the tents upon helpless
and innocent men." They killed in all
fifteen and wounded sixty, not ,one
of whom had Laken part in the
attempt; many of whom were igno
rant of it until they heard the guns.
Deliberate cold blooded murders of
peaceable men, where there was no
.•••••, I Lai ~i,zl.4:re:ettittlll7",
prison regulations, were very frequent.
On October 10th, Lieutenant Davis,
of the . 158th New- York Infantry, was
thus shot dead by the guard who, the
.day before, had been openly swearing
he, would "kill softie dam ned,Yankee
yet." November oth, Luther Conrad;
of the 45th Pe.nnsylVaniti. Infantry,
a Clarions patient froni one of the
hospitals, was similarly inurderod:
November 3a, a chimney in one of the
hospitals fell down, crushing several
men under it. .
Orders were immediately given 'to
the guard to let no One approach the
building, on the pretext that there
might be another insurrection. The
patients from that hospital,,had not
heard the order, and \!:'oro returning
to their quarters, when I saw a senti
nel on the'fence within twenty feet of
them, without challenging them, raise
his piece and fire, killing one and wpm
ding the other. Major Gee, at the
time, was standing immediately beside
the sentinel, who must have acted un
dor. his direct Orders. December 16th,
Moses Smith, of .7th Maryland (color
ed) infantry, while standing beside
my quarters, searching for scraps of
food from the sweepingS of the cook•
house, was shot through the boad.-- 7
There was very many similar mur
ders' I never knew-any- pretence
oven made of investigating or punish
ing them. Our lives were never safe
one Mornent. Any sentinel, at any
hoUr of day or night, could deliber
ately
into
anyshoot down any prisoner, or
any group of prisoners, black or white,
and ho would not even bo taken off
his post fbr it.
Nearly every' week an oft - leer came
into the prison to recruit for the rebel
army. Sometimes lie offered hounties;.
always ho promised good clothing and
abundant food. Between twelve hun
dred mid eighteen hundred of our
men enlisted in two montbS: I was
repeatedly asked by prisoners,.some
times with tears in their eyoYs.--- - -
"What shall I do? I don't wsnt to
starve to death. I am growing weak
er daily; if I Stay bore I shall follow
my .- comrades to the hospital and
dead.house. If I enlist Inlay live
til I can escape."
I had charge of the clothing left
by the dead, and re issued it to the
living. I distributed articles of cloth
ing to more than two thousand pris:
oners, but when I escaped there was
fully five hundred without a shoe or
stacking, and more yet with no gar,
meats above the waist except one
blouse or one shirt. Men came to me
frequently upon whom the rebels,
when they captured. them,.
had: left. l
nothing whatever except a light cot
ton shirt and a pair of light ragged
cotton pantaloons,
The books of all the hospitals wore
kept and the daily consolidated reports
made tip under my supervision. ; Dur-.
ing the: two months between October
18 andDecemher 18 the average
tier of prisoners was about 7,500: ' The
deaths for that period wornfully 1,500,
or twenty per cent. of the whole. '

TESTIMONY OF MR. JUNIUS 11. BROViNE
The following is the testimony•be

I am a journalist by profession; have
been since the breaking out of tke irar

May '3, 1863, our. expedition having

I was - held" priSoffer 'some twenty,
months; having in. thatitimo been an
occupant of-seven southern prisons,
:the :last being= the Salisbury, North
Carolina, penitentiary; where 1 I was
kept with my co-laborer, Albert D.
Richardson for almost eleven months,
making my escape therefrom -in his
company, on the night of December
18, 1864. •
The, treatment of our prisoners. Was
bad enough everywhere, but it was so
barbarous and inhuman at Salisbury
for two months previous to-my escape
that I regard the eXposure thereof a
duty 11 owe to the thoilsands'who stiil
remain there. •
Early in October froM nine to ton
thousand
.of our enlisted men were . sent
to Salisbury from Richmond and other
points, and as they had been robbed of
their elothes and blankets, and,receiv—
ed very little food or shelter, the mor
tality among them became almost im,
•mediately widespread and alarming.
Every tenement within the prison
limits was converted into a hospital,
and I 'offered my services as medical
dispenser and as assistant to the rebel
surgeons. I soon made daily visits to
the sick who could not obtain admis
sion to the over crowded hospitals—
, lying intents on the ground; without
' covering and witlavery scant raiment,
where they bad crept for protection
from the cold rains, the snow, and the
biting wind S—and performed sr.eh posy
service as hty in my limited power.
eir condition was distressing in the
extreme. They'had no means of keep
ing warn except by fires of very green
wood that filled the rude 'shelters with
hitter tuoke; and which added to the
carbonic acidized - a tinosphore from so
many breaths; and the emanations flom
unwholesome and unwashed bodies,
packed together like figs, entirely poi
' tioned.the tit, and destroyed the health
of alMoStau who inhaled it.
. . •
The sickness and mortality in those
outside quarters, as well as.elsewhere,
centinuallyinereased, and.the marvel
Was that any one survived. Stafired
and freezing, withhardlY water onotigh
to driek,.. much less to wash their per or the scant clothes they wore,
the poor fellows naturally and noces
sarily despaired and.net 'a few of them
were noxious to die to escape from the
slow torture of their situation.
.1 had the best- means of knowing,
and it is my firmest belief that out of
eight nine thousand .prisOners 'at
Salisbury there were not - at any time
five hundred of them iia'sound . health
—an opinion in Which all the rebel sol
diers to whom I:expressed it fully coin
cided. The deaths, during the last two
months I passed at Salisbury, - ranged
from twenty:five to forty-five per day
diarrbcea, dysentery, catarrh, prieutho,
nia, and typhoid fever, all engendered
by scarcity . Mood, sheitm,and raiment
--being the principal diseases. I haVe
no` doubt if the prisoners had been
properly .treated--a prisoners of war
in the North: are to the best of my
knowledge and information treated--
the mortality at Salisbury would not
have been more than an eighth of what
it was.
The capacity of the so called hospi
tals—nine in number—Which were
without any of the comforts or concom
itants of those institutions ' were not, to
the fullest over five or six hundred pa
tients; and the number of prisoners
who ought to have_ been inmates there=
of was at least, as many thousands.
The hospitals merely afforded some
protection from the cold and rain, and
tarnished rather better rations than
Were given to the men who were sup•
posed by a transparent' fiction, to lid
in good health, 'Hardly any ono would
go to the hosPitale so long as he could
help' himself; or indtice any ono to help
him; the daily spectacle of ghastly and
hideous corpses going therefrom, to the
dead-hOuse filling all beholders with
horror, and inducing tho soldiers to be
lieve that all who entered these filthy
and pestiferous tenements were doomed.
The prisOn limtte. at Salisbury -re
vealed a sense of .wretchedness, squal
or, despair, and suffering, such as l—
accustomed as I ant to army life and
the horrors of military hospitals and
battlefields bad never before witness
ed. The prison ; authorities—especially
aftor tho MiSseere lattending the at
tempted outbreak of November'26th—
