In conver sation with Mr Joseph Jerger, au o’.d Confed, Mr. Foran casually revealed the fact that ho had been here before as a prisoner. Mr. Jerger was almost os gUd to see him os if he had been an old comrade instead of a foe, and took him over to Dewey City where the old pris on camp was. Mr. Foran easily recognized the place and while remarking upon the excellent state of preservation of the old ditch and sultry mound he said “I remember that while we were hero one of oar boys was accidentally killed by a tree falling on him.'* Au ante-bollnm negro happened to be standing near. “Why, lor* yes, Imre's his grave." Mr. Koran enlisted with the First Massachusetts regiment early i:i the war H > fought with McClellan in Virginia a id under Gram for ilireo years w ithout getting a scmtoli,until Ju • s Isc, ’<>4.

He was sent to Richmond first, and after two weeks thero he became one ol a train lo-vd of prisoners to Andtrson* ville. When Slternmu began to operate from Atlanta there were . 85.0u0 prison era at Andersonvillo, but npon Slier- mau's nearer approach they were scatter ed to otlher places. Chance threw Mr. Foren among a train load taken to Savannah. There they stayed for a fortnight before they were taken to Blackshear and from thero to Thomaaville by the old Golf railroad. The detachment spent several wooka here, and Mr. Foran says that ha re* membors the place most pleusantly, speaking from a comparative stand point, because here he was given raw meat and a quart ot meal a day. Tills the first meat ho had seen sinco he was raptured. The prisoners wero marched from here to Albauy. no railroad connecting the two places at that time Three days wore consumed on the march and on the fourth ho found himsoif again in Andersonville, Thero lie stayed till the closo of hostilities. Mr. Foran ts delighted with Thomas* vR u and exports to roinain here through the winter. He is having a great timo talking over old differences witli ex* Confcds.
