BURIAL OF THE DEAD .- The squad already referred to as having made the ditch around the entire camp was not disbanded, even after that work had been completed. They were retained and kept at work digging trenches in which to bury the dead. The mortality was fearful, the deaths increasing daily from the first of October, when we went there, until about the middle of January, 1865, when they had reached about the number of fifty a day. Forty deaths in one day was a common occurrence, and one team and wagon was kept busily em- ployed in carrying the bodies from the dead-house to the place of interment. During our first week at Salisbury coffins were furnished, which did scein to the living like one degree towards humanity ; but, at the end of that time, we discovered that the same coffins, five in nuniber, were used every day. When it was found out that we knew their secret, the prac- tice was discontinued, and the bodies were carried out piled on the wagon like logs of wood. The upper portion of the dead-house was occupied by a few prisoners who preferred even that dismal abode to none at all. In case of a death the body was brought to the dead-house and laid on the ground floor, stripped of all clothing but the under garments, and, in a few cases, even of them. When the prisoner died in his quarters his clothing was appropriated by his comrades; if at the hospital it was retained for distribution to the most needy.

STARVATION AND CONSEQUENT UPRISING .- During the month of November half rations were so frequent that it did seem as though the rebels intended to starve all of us to death. It got to be so serious a matter that some of the leading spirits resolved on a general out- break. On the 25th of the month the guards were relieved by the militia of the State, prin- cipally old men and country farmers, a class of men that knew but little about the use of the musket. Intelligence reached us that the guard just relieved (young conscripts) had been ordered to the front. We hailed this as a good opportunity. It was resolved, therefore, that as soon as the inside guards were secured, that the ninth and tenth divisions, who lay ncarest the big gates, should force them open with clubs and axes, a few of the latter articles being owned by the prisoners. The gates once forced, egress would be easy, and it would be short work to overpower the militia, most of whom, probably, had never fired a gun in tlicir lives. When free from the prison we intended to make for Tennessee in as campact a body as possible. The plan was well laid, and all it wanted to ensure success was patience and cool judgment on the part of a few, and a general understanding of the situation by all. But, alas, for the success of so noble a causc. There was no want of courage and valor on the part of the prisoners, but the fool-hardiness and ill-tinted action of the prime inover proved fatal to the enterprise. He, a Sergeant Major of Division, gave the signal a full hour and a half before the time agreed upon, and rashly, though bravely, commenced the assault with his own hands. " Who's for Liberty, and who for Death?" he cried, and immediately leveled a guard with a blow, and secured his musket. The entire guard inside the pen was over- powered within three minutes, and, with a tremendous cheer, a rush was made for the gates; but here the fool-hardiness was apparent, as the two divisions relied on for the main stroke did not know their part, and the enterprise was nipped in the bud. It was soon discovered, too, that the conscripts had not left the place, and the sentinels' platform fast filled up amid the discharge of grape and canister from the two pieces of artillery. Three-fourths, if not more of the prisoners, were unprepared for so sudden an assault, nevertheless, they rallied to the cheers of their comrades. But it was of no use; the rebels were fully armed and pre- pared at all points, many of our men were already killed or wounded, and still we were be- ing fired upon; so we dispersed as quickly as possible, and in half an hour the camp was entirely quiet. I took refuge in a comrade's tent for about an hour, when I deemed it safe

ONE HUNDRED AND NINETIETH AND NINETY-FIRST,

to return to my own quarters. On arriving there, I found that the tent had been in dircet range of one of the guns, and that it was riddled with the charge of canister, having forty-two holes in the canvas. Fleming had been hit in the neck with a musket ball, and I learned that a rebel sergeant, with a file of soldiers, had been searching that and the neighboring tents for concealed arms. It seems that the authorities had an impression that we were fully armed and prepared for a pitched battle. They were never more mistaken; for it was only the feeble effort of a handful of men, made desperate by acts of inhuman barbarity. We - had the satisfaction of knowing that we had pretty thoroughly frightened our brutal keepers. Major Gee, however, was reported to have said, in reply to the inquiry as to whether we were to have full rations the next day, "No, d-n them, they shall have only half rations, by G-d." I ought to mention that fifty of the prisoners were killed and wounded.

THE EMPLOYMENT OF A DAY .- The employment of a day might be described about as follows : The first thing on getting up was to draw rations, then breakfast of bread and crust coffee ; after that, "skirmishing," i. e. the operation of ridding our clothes of vermin, which were so plentiful that it was impossible to be rid of them ; about noon we drew the soup ra- tion, and the rest of the day did anything or nothing. In the evening we would squat around the fire, and to allow all to do so at once, each had to sit in a very cramped position. When thus engaged we were in the habit of speculating on our probable or improbable re- lease, or what was much more common, of discussing the merits and demerits of the thou- sand and one kinds of edibles familiar to us in the "Auld Lang Syne." This was an inex- haustible topic, and our mouths would fairly water as the subject progessed, Kitty Snyder's favorite dish was a "blood pudding," and he always took great delight in explaining how it was made. From frequent hearing, I got to fancying that I should find myself perfect mas- ter of the art of cooking that most elegant dish, but, unfortunately, I have long since forgot- ten the number and kinds of ingredients necessary to produce so much luxury. Christmas eve was celebrated, in our tent, in telling stories and propounding conundrums to each other until a late hour.

REPAIR OF CLOTHING AND SHOES .- As may readily be supposed our clothes would not wear forever without mending. For coats, pants, and shirts, we managed to get along with what we had, until reinforced from the hospitals or by the deaths of our companions ; but it was indispensable that we should keep the coverings of our feet in repair during the season of snow, frost and rain. In our tent was one needle, (a darner,) and a jack-knife, which were considered common property. For thread we depended on ravelings from my own piece of canvas, which kept decreasing in dimensions at an alarming rate. With needle, thread and pieces of old cloth, picked up in the camp, we managed to patch our socks effect- ually, though primitively. Our shoes were the worst, the soles having a sad tendency to de- part from the uppers. By making an incision with the knife-point through upper and solc, at intervals around the shoe, and then tying with leather strings, cut from the top of the counter, a shoe was made to last a long time, though any amount of greasing would not have made it water-proof.

UNPROVOKED SHOOTING OF PRISONERS .- The guards were always ready to resent any trespass, of a prisoner, across the "dead line," by shooting him on the spot. But the shoot- ing of prisoners was not confined to such offences. In October, 1864, whilst the officers were confined with us, one of their number was shot down, by a sentinel, without any cause or provocation, whatever, and he was some yards distant from the dead line. Later, a private soldier was shot dead while passing between the main building and the bakery. In Feb- ruary, I was an eye witness to the cruel and cold blooded murder of a prisoner, sitting in his tent, twenty or thirty yards from the dead-line, by a sentinel, who deliberately leveled his piece and fired as though merely practicing at a mark ; having discharged his gun and scen the effect of his shot, he made use of these words, "You G-d d-n nigger, you." He was not removed from his post, though his conduct was well known to the officers of the guard.

About this time (18th of February) we had large reinforcements of prisoners, who were sent on from other prisons. That at Andersonville, Ga., had been broken up sometime pre- viously, the inmates being sent to Florence, Columbia, or elsewhere. Sherman, in his "March to the Sca," was making rapid strides towards the rebel strongholds; hence their haste to empty their prisons.

RUMORS OF RELEASE .- A rumor was spread through camp that the sick were to be trans- ported, in a few days, to Greensboro, and that the able-bodied were to proceed to the saine place on foot, where transportation awaited all. Most of us gave but little heed to this report, for we had heard so many that we had grown into the habit of disbelieving every- thing, no matter how good the news; but, for once we were agreeably disappointed, for sure enough, on Sunday evening, a batch of the sick were taken out, and on Monday evening the

balance of them removed. I, myself, assisted one helpless man from his hospital to the big gate, from which place the transportation was being conducted. Of all the misery, wretched- ness, and horror, attendant upon the conveying of the many hundreds of sick from the pri- son gates to the Union lines, I will not venture to speak ; that it was fearful and heart-rending I have not the slightest doubt. The greater part of patients were entirely helpless, large numbers died before our lines were reached, and the rest were in such a state of emaciation that it was a miracle that any life remained in their wasted forms.

GOOD-BYE TO SALISBURY .- But very little sleep was indulged in during the night of the 21st. On the following morning, the drums beat the "roll-call," the signal for all squads to forin in line, which done, Confederate officers came into camp and required us to give a verbal parole of honor, to the effect, that we would make no effort to escape, etc., while en route to the Union lines ; of course we were ready to subscribe to any conditions that would hasten our departure from a prison to a land of liberty. At eleven o'clock in the morning we were filed through the little gate and were mustcred into one column, at a spot on the outskirts of the town. Washington's birthday was never better celebrated, than on this, the 22d of Feb- ruary, 1865, by the exodus of four thousand Union soldiers from the Salisbury penitentiary, in which they had undergone a five months' exposure to starvation, sickness, misery and wretchedness, the rains of autumn, the frost and snows of winter, and the merciless treat- ment of Major Gee and his barbarians.

REMARKS AND INCIDENTS .- Before closing this narative, I wish briefly to refer to the con- dition of prisoners at Salisbury, together with a few incidents that transpired, and which I overlooked in the order in which they occured : Imagine to yourself, dear reader, ten thousand men, captured in the summer months, and consequently clad in light garments, turned into a prison-pen, shelterless, robbed of blankets, and everything tending to the alle- viation of our hardships, there exposed to cold, rain, frost and snow, starvation, bad water as a beverage, scarcely any at all for cleansing purposes, but very little medicine and care when sick, continually pestered with vermin, no employment and no amusement. Can it be any wonder that men, in such a condition, should contrast their lot with those taking their com- forts and enjoying their liberties at the capital of the Nation ?

SATISFACTION FROM A BONE .- I remember, early one day in November, when our ra- tions were cut off, that some others and myself, for want of more substantial sustenance, burnt picces of bones, eating the crisp, and repeating the operation until the bones were pretty nearly demolished. When fortunate enough to draw a ration of meat that was part bone, we would get a great deal of nourishment from it. By breaking a bone into small pieces, with a knife and a stone, and boiling it, we could make quite a decent soup. Until I was a prisoner it was always a wonder to me what satisfaction a dog could possibly derive from gnawing a bone ; but from that time my wonder ceascd.

TRANSFORMATION IN PERSONAL APPEARANCE .- Although we were continually wasting away to skeletons, the change was not apparent among those of us who were in daily inter- course with each other ; but in those comrades from whom we were separated for weeks and months, and then reunited, the change was awful to witness. I lost sight, when we first went to Salisbury, of a young soldier, named M'Feely, from my own regiment, who was short, fat, and full-faced, and did not see him again until the latter part of the winter. I did not think it possible for any one to change in looks so rapidly ; his eyes were sunk low in their sockets, cheeks hollow, cheek-bones horribly distinct, and his whole frame emaciated almost to a skeleton. I presume I appeared as greatly changed to him as he did to me. M'Feely died a week before our release.
