There appears to he a disposition on this pail of some ofrthe public press to mitigate some of the offences and - crimee of Majer.4enry Wertg, late. the reaponl sible keeper of the Stockade at Anderson-i ville,'Georgiakand to throw upon others the responsibilities that justly 'attach to those alone who_ were in immediate com mand of that prison; Being personally , acquainted 'with most of!the officers who were stationed at AndersOnville, and knowing Much of the treatment of these who were; so unfortunate u ,nfortunatejas to have been l confined in! 'that pen of horror, -I bevel thought t4t a condert.led statement of how things 'were managed, and prisoners of war were treated there, ,Might not be entirely Unacceptable; to iyour readers. • I wish to -be understdod as net desir ens to ferestal the action, or opinion of the com Mission which i 4 about to inv,es agate Matter, or , t,o `add anything 'to the feeling' entertained towards Major Wertz. It is enough-for him to rest,now and forever, under an obloquy that no, time and no repentance Can obliterare;l to feel within himself the _unenviable pangs which the recolleCtion °rids pow-, erles's murdered victims will ever arouse, and to know that whatever may be the award of a Inman tribunel, his punish ment is already decree . . _ Tie prison. of: 4nderionville is u stock- 1 ade cif about eighteen feet high, the posts comprising -it being sunk the ground five feet; it originally.eomprised an area of eighteen aeres, bullwas, sibseqaently enlarged to twenty-seven. acres. :The in. lelodirre is upon the side of a hill, looking towards :the south, at the foot of which is a 8411 brook about flip feet wide and as manyinchei deep, which ,furnished the water for the use of thaprisoners. Within this inclosure-were turned , the prisoners as they arrived, and left to provide for themselves, 'there beiiig no shelters or arbors, or any kind oflroteztion afforded by, tries or otherwise against the burning rays of the southern: sun, the fdrious storms, or the frees mg winters. The position was selected by Captain Winder, a son of GeneiarJohn..rl; Win der, who wav , scut from. Richmond for the ptirposa in the latter part of 1863. When it was suggested to him by a disinterested but huMane spectator: of his operations that it Would perhaps he better to leave the trees standing within the proposed stockade, as they would afford shade to the prisoners, he replied: "That was just what he was not going to do; he was go lag to make a pen for the Yankees, where they could rot faster than they could be sent there." And admirably did be accomplish his mission.. • The first commandant of the post was Colonel - Parsons, who was soon succeeded by John H. Winder, with his son ai Ad j!want, his nephew as, Commissary and titler, and Henry Weitz in immediate command of the prisoners. There were generally stationed there for gnard duty from.three to six rogitnents of infantry, With one compan.) of artillery, having a ' blittery of six piooes, according to the exigencies of the case, the number of prisoners then con ned, or the fears en tertained of an attempt to set them at liberty by raiding parties 14 United States troops. , 1 , . i 'When prisoners were first received it was Usual to subject them .

Shocked, terrified, beaten to the very dust with mortification, the party ietired and foiled. in their efforts to succor the sick or alleviate the tortures of the dying Union soldiers, they -gave their ; loads of! clothing and-food to a.kassing column of Federal prisoner on their way to another place—Millen.
