Prison Life.
Ms. Eojroa The purpose of this rn.
miinioatioa is tog: your wa.Wns skot
sketch of prison lift, I wis captured at the
battieof X:r Market on May 14. laiii. Lar
ing been struck in the ride by a shell, front
the effect of which I am suffering to-day.
The pain it causes me is so great tliat few
ttihu Id; close an eye in siutr.ner. It
hid rendered me aeuaeless lor a time. rd
when I recovered cousrionsne-. I iVmrtd
myself a prisue- J the battlefield, across
which I was marched, when a rebel ofSoer
cams ani took my hat Then we were
marched, as near aa I cam tell, mere than a
hundred miles to Psnrilla, Va. aa d were
there imprioaeti orer night.
5sxt mnraing si were placed on a train
and lakes to Augusta, Ga. We were on the
train 0 three days and three nights, with
out s mouth fui to eat, or a drop of water to
(jaeuch our thirst They switched bs off
and stopped alongside a creek ; when we
begged for just half a pint of water we were
refused, and instead o! giriuj us water, the
guard was ordered to shoot any man who
asked for it Wliea w reached AairusU.
we were gisea s " johnnie cake" to eat, and
we were then snored to ArulersonviUe peis-
01 ; were we were pat iosmc toe Hocaaue
Witboot shelter, and we may
r wiinout
dothes. All w bad to eat there was partly
corn brsai sod corn nekl with the eob
ground in, which we had to eat raw every
twenty-four hoars.
I was in Anderson ville tor six months, as
near as I can recJlert, and from there we
were moved to Charleston, where we laid
four weeks, with no conch bat the bare earth.
From titer we were transferred to Florence,
and by this more they stripped me entirely
naked witb the exception of an old pair of
drawers, which rotted otTof me in a few days,
leaving me entirely uu le. The ground was
frjzen bard, and partly covered with snow,
on which I bad to crawl around r three
months to keep from f reeling, as I could sot
walk al ail.
That I was naked, ia on record in Wash
ington ;a!so that I was in prison ten months
aa near as I can tell. In Florence we got
nothing but raw corn meal to eat ; th rebel
women won'd come in to see the boys in
Woe shot d'w likedoes. and tlie rebs would
bring the entrails of beeves and throw them
in th prison, and when w would reach fur
tbem and get across thedeal line," as toey
called it, the guard wouhj shoot tlietn to
death, and the women would bs ! ha ! aud
! laa'i.
One day the priest came in and brought
his little with him. which tbe prisoners
soon tore to piec.si and ate. I bail a piece of
bim. arid 1 thought it was the best meat I
had ever stn. I saw Capt. Wertx. the
Commander of the prison, kick and stamp
the poor prisoners when they could not get
np, and some were dying. I saw some pris
oners that had eaten the flesh ail oif their
hands and arms, and I saw others walk
around for two and three days, holding their
entrails in with their hands ; they had tiie
1 scurvy so bad that large pieces orflash would
fall from their bodies.
Wheu I came home my IVet were so badly
swollen that they were twice tiieir natural j
sie ; neither bi I a hair on my hea i. I J
was at home six months before I co ll 1 get !
npofT a chair without help. When I was
captured I weighed two bandred and twen'y
pounds, and after I bad been horn one year
I was weighed with heavy clothes on. and
only weighed one hundred aid thirteen
pounds. It took every cent I reeei red in
the army to pay doctor bills until I was able
to be abjut again, and I are to-day asing
medicine from the doctor.
My three years'enlistrneut had alra jst ex
pired, when I was captured arid taken to
prison and kept there almost ten months
over my time, and to-diy who w.mhl go
away from home and endure the harlships
I did, and surTL-r the pxin I have rery day
since, for a paltry eight dollsrs a month T

We had a number of cases in the earlier part

ately none proved fatal.
William Daniels, who was sirk since last
spring, being quite feeble in the earlier part
of tlie winter, has again recovered so that he
ran get around, and is now on a visit to his
father in Johi.stown.
It is lv early in the season Io speak of tbe
crops. The k-e crop has been s poor one but
has improved greatly the past week. The
fruit of the hen is an early and abundant
crop, the market is overstocked and prices,
as a result, are very low.
Lime is an article greatly In demand, and
very scarce in these parts- The old adage
that " the early bird catches the worm " is
now being practiced here. At daylight eve
ry work day morning one will find a large
number of sleds at the empty li itie houses,
waiting fir the day's supply of lime. This
til! the uvti'ole of our qusrrv men seemed to
e where they w.ld tia.1 sale for their lime.
btit now thev are troubled as to how they
shall supply the tlemand. Our farmers are
yearly mop? convinced of the fact that lima
and stable mm a re are the best fertilixers.
