I etter, from a 'Geo'tgici_ . planter to the
..1o" )1. of Yo - rkEve: .Poit.
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 . ' to a search for
money, valuables, etc., which ostensibly
Were to be restored when they were re
leased from captivity, but which in.real

controlled the - priseb. , NotWithatanding
a law of the Confederacy expressly pro

the initiated, a few' whose "loyalty" was
unquestioned, could - alWays obtain for a
consideration the greenbacks which they
required.

-AA - first it `was- customary to send a
isogon• into the Stockade every morning
at 10 o"elock, leaded with the rations for
the day, ba:con and corn bread, nothing
else; but as theniniber of prisoners in:
creased, and the greed f gain grew - upon
the trio above mentione , the eorri t hread
was -redneed - in its quality, being then
manufactered - of equal - proportions of
ground field peas and corn, unbolted,
ungifted, - tincleanseil indeed from the dirt
and trash - which peas naturally =emu
late, and at last,' when the number of
prisonersincreased to ever thirty- seven
thoesand, the meat ;steins per week were
reduced to a piece of bacon 'for each man
about three inches long and
,tWo wide,
with one pone of the bread above des
cribed per daY.• Then,lalse the custom
of carrying the prisoners food info the
stockade was abolished..ic They drove lip
to the gates, which were slightly - opened,
and the scanty-food, y
foul and nnhearn
as it was, was thrown inside by the guard
to be. scrambled for by the wretched
psisoners, the strorigeit and those nearest
the -gate- getting the largest share, the
weak-and sickly getting gone. '
I have mentioned the small brook which
runs through the. lower part of the stock
ade; and which - supplied the water for
drinking and washing. - 'This brook has
its rise in a swamp not far from the pris

did, eclipse his General in profanity' and
indecency, and I here assert that if the
lowest sinks of the most abandoned parte
of your city were gleaned they could not
surpass the ribald vulgarity and finished
profanity of this jailor, exhibited in the
presence of refined and "loyal" ladies.
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. They, at least; had the
satisfaction of knowing that some were
benefited, even if they had failed in their
efforts for those Who most needed their
