BE.LIC3 OF ANDERSONVILLE:
Clara Barton and tier Work of Mercy.
BY MRS. FRANCES D. GAGE
In a small room on the third floor of a
building in Washingtori, D. C., I sit me
-down to write this letter. No mirrors
flash back light or beauty from these
walls; no Vandykes, Raphaels or Reu
bens create envy in the bosom of the
passer by. Its Olin, - cheap carpet, its
chair's, its tables—for use, not ornamegit
—wear no gorgeous coverings, but bear
the burdens of days of toil and nights of
watching and weariness, in the form of
ledgers, and boxes filled with documents,
that have been the coinage, every one Of
them, of aching hearts.
Yonder, in the corner, is a cabinet. A
few plain board shelves are set against
the wall, containing the most unique,
priceless treasures in the world. No
costly gems glitter there; no exquisite
shells from the depths of the sea en
trance with their splendor of color and
form• no birds with gaudy plumage re
mind us of nature's magnificence in
some far-offisle of the ocean. Nay,none
of that! 0 pen of mine, write
quietly; 0 eyes, put back your tears,
Cease, throbbing - heart, your painful
pulsations, while I tell the story as best
can.
Come nearer; let us look at these
things..; The bits of tin, perforated with
holes, were once bottoms and sides of
canteens, or oyster cans, grown old and
rusty, with use, gathered up by weary
hands and pierced by nails to make
sieves through which to pass the meal
made of corn, "ground, cob and all,"
which formed the rations of our soldier
prisoners at Andersonville.
These rusty oyster cans, with a bail of
ldwire rudely adjusted, were the ket
il(Ein which they gathered tIIe bones,
dreboiled them to make soup. These
^addles, soiled and grim at the handles
ind scoured at the base with constant
ase, stirred the coarse meal and water
vogether into mush for starving men.
Those splits of wood, woven together
like chair-bottoms, were the plates they
used.
See you these little wooden troughs,
whittled with a jack-knife, rough, tiny,
some not holding a half-pint? They
held the meagre meal when cooked.
These are the spoons of wood that con
veyed the loathsome food to their fam
ished lips. Those cows' horns, wrought
into drinking cups; these little tubs of
chips of wood,* hooped about with tow
strings, served the same purpose. One
oyster can, for which no hail could be
found, has a strip of tin cut from the top
`with short, narrow bits for hinges, and
'dais, as a kettle for cooking, was made
to do its noble service.
These bits of board! Some careless,
untaught eye might take them for
kindling-woOd. As I write, I ask my
self, is the theory that spirits of the dead
linger around the scenes of joy or sorrow
that they knew in this life a true one?
If so, how many thousands are looking
down this night at the thoughts I am
tracing with my pen! Those bits of
scantling, broken, unplaned, five inches
wide, and two or three feet long, are
fragments of the "dead-line" at Ander
sonville. He who, starved, maddened,
reckless, preferred death to continual
torture, had bat to pass this brittle
boundary to be ushered instantly into
the presence of iHm who has said,
"Vengeance is mine, I will repay."
Turn this way. That board, leaning
in the corner, with its black figures
4 "7,606" at the top, is the head-board
which Wirz—he has gone to his account,
I will use no adjectives with his name—
suffered to be placed where one dear and
nearly akin to her who gathered these
relics was laid away in that vast ceme
tery of murdered men.
7,606! Can you realize it? Seven
thousand six hundred and six prisoners,
who, starved, scorched.in the burning
sun, maddened, hopeless, prayed for
death and found in their shallow graves
surcease from anguish! And 7,600 is
scarce half. On, on, on—up, up, up go
the numbers to 12,920 that have been
found, recognized, and marked. 0
God of mercy, is there, can there be
produced such another record of the
results of slavery as this!
But let us look further. These bay
onets were picked up in that Golgotha,
and this letter-box, into which thou
sands,' ay, tens of thousands of letters
were dropped, but never one went out
to gladden the oppressed hearts of
friends! Perhaps no five pieces of tim
ber were ever nailed together that have
enclosed so many tales of distress, or so
few of happiness or joy, as these.
This is the worn-out stump of a
hickory broom, with which the skeleton
hands tried to keep clean; this is a ball
from one of the many guns that were
mounted on the seven forts surrounding
the prison. A paroled prisoner asked of
Wirz one day:
"What will you do with us if Sher
man's army comes to the rescue?"
"By tam ! I puts you in the stockade.
I turn de guns on you, and blow de
brains out of every tam one."
But, let me stay this fearful record,
and tell how these things came to be
here in Washington. Miss Clara Bar
ton, in whose little parlor I find them,
brought them with her on her return
from her expedition to Andersonville,
where she went, by reqnpst of Secretary
Stanton, in company with Capt. James
M. Moore, A. Q. M., to enclose the
grounds o the Andersonville cemetery,
and identify the graves and mark them
with headboards, which expedition was
inaugurated, at her request, by the heads
of the department.
"I gathered these things up," said
Miss Barton to me, "and was told their
uses at the places where I found them.
I brought out some from the deep bur
rows our men had made—those caves dug
outby their weak hands to shelter them
from burning heats and chilling dews,
and into which many crept, never to
emerge again, till their fellows bore
them to their last resting-place."
Was I wrong in saying her cabinet
contained the most unique and priceless
• treasures in the world ? Many a mother,
wife, or, sister would gladly exchange
her gold and jewels for those records of
the last days of some loving heart, so
frightfully stilled. Ono lady, looking
at them with tears coursing down her
cheeks, exclaimed, "I would exchange
my diamonds for these."
"Your diamendscould not buy them,"
was the answer of the heroic woman
who has done so much toeasethe sorrow
of a nation.
As I said, these tables bear the bur
dens of aching hearts. Six thousand
letters from bereaved friends, who have
'asked her to help them find their mis
sing dead ! And still they come I Still
the mother cries out in anguish and
suspeJe, "What has become of my
boy ? Still the wife pleads to know of
him who was her all, whom she gave to
her country to die for it, if need be; but
not to be lost, uncared for,and unsought!
One hundred letters a day often lay
upp. Miss Barton's table, every one
•
freighted with sorrow.
Do you wonder I sit in awe in this
almost sublime room? Do you wonder
that I ask, "Is the theory true that
spirits can linger near mortals upon
earth?" If so, will they not be here,
breathing over this kind,gentle woman,
to help her in her benevolent work?
Do they not long to have those they
loved, and who still wander in life
asking them, let into the secret of their
fate?
Six thousand letters! Some of them
giving the names of twelve or fifteen
missing men, and each requiring an
answer to the individual who wrote it;
and five, ten, twenty, thirty, even
seventy-five letters of inquiry to gain
the information needed to reply to its
queries.
Some of you who read this have, per
haps, seen Miss Barton's "Roll of Mis
sing Men," and her request appended
to that "roll" for information. You
may suppose those names are all she
has gathered, and wonder that she has
no more. You imagine she has gone to
the quartermaster's department or
muster-roll for that number. Let it be
known that every name on the list has
been taken from some letters of friends,
*lnch is now on file in her possession,
asking for the missing. Most of these
letters are from women, either in their
own handwriting or that of an agent,
telling' their own story of loss and
sorrow.
Her "roll" was printed_ in June
or July, and copies scattered over the
country. It contains but three thou
sand names. There are many more that
are now waiting to be put in shape,
and that will be printed as soon as pos
sible.
This is a great work,requiring many
handi, and hard, steady labor. Friends
must be patient, thankful for what has
been done, and trusting for the future.
While Clara Barton lives and can work,
she will not forget the widow in her
affliction, or let the fatherless ask in
vain, or disappoint the mother's hope—
if it is possible to do otherwise.
One thing more. Let it be ever
understood this is a private enterprise,
begun and wholly sustained by Miss
Barton. She receives no salary from
any department of government, or asso
ciation of the people, and is responsible
to the people only through her promise
to do this work.—lndependeni.
