Forney’s Last Forgery-Card from Geo.
Howell Cobb.
New York, October 3d, 18G8.
To the Editor of the World :
A Iriend has just placed in my bauds what
purports to be a speech of Mr. John W. Forney,
ot Philadelphia, and I ask a place in your col-
uin'S to notice a statement made in relerence to
myself, which 1 cannot permit to pass uncontra
dicted. Mr. Forney read as a part of his speech,
and gave to the country with his indorsement,
the following letter, as I find it in liis published
remarks:
After reading Cobb’s speech, I thought it my
duty to let the people North know how cruelly
he acted toward a young Union prisoner at An-
dersonville prison,'in September, 1864. Among
the many thousands confined in that dreadful
place, was a young man by the name of Cabel.
He was born in Florida, and during the ad
ministration ot Cobb at Washington, this
young man held a position as clerk in the
Treasury Department, and, although a native
of Florida, he did not desert his post, and
go South and enter the rebel party, but, on the
contrary, enlisted as a Union volunteer in a
regiment raised in the District ot Columbia
or thereabouts. In the spring of 1804 he was
taken prisoner in Virginia, and soon found him
self within the stockade at Anderson ville. Oh !
the world only knows from pens and lips the
horrors of that prison pen. Human eyes that
saw the suffering there, can only realize the ap
palling facts ot the amount of misery within
that place. Soon after young Cabel entered the
prison, he became a companion of mine. 1
shared my little cave with him, and did all to
encourage his hope; yet I soon saw he began to
fail, and I knew that as soon a as prisoner began
to give up, his days were but few. I pointed out
these facts to him, and the necessity ol keeping
up a good heart. Yet, the treatment to us was
so barbaroos that, in spite of all the strength
and will of this young man, he but lingered
along between hope and despair. But when he
learned that Howell Cobb was within the vicin
ity ot the prison, and would soon visit the place,
his hopes were high. “ Duty let me see Mr.
Cobb,” he said; “I know be will remember me,
and get me exchanged or get me free.” A s soon as
it was known that Mr. Cobb was inside the stock
ade, young Cabel, with my assistance, mustered
strength enough to appear before him. At first
Mr. Cobb paid but little attention to him, but
when be mentioned to Cobb ot bis (Cabel's)
brother being formerly a member ot Congress
from Florida, then it was that Howell Cobb
proved the human demon. Again scrutinizing
young Cabel, he said : “ Ob ! yes, I know you,
and know about your brother you speak of; both
of you have proved false to your Southern du
ties—you are both traitors to the South, and I
can only wish that your brother were here to
share your lot.” Young Cabel seemed to stag
ger under these cruel remarks, and as Mr. Cobb
was about to leave, young Cabel appealed again
to Cobb if he wouid not try to get him free;
could he not, at least, do something to mitigule
his sufierings—he showed Mr. Cobb his emacia
ted arms and body—the dreadful sores upon bis
leet as they seemed ready to drop Irom the
ankles from rottenness. At last Mr. Cobh said :
“C&bel, I will do nothing for you unless you re
nounce your allegiance to the U. S. Government,
and, as soon as you are able, join the Conled-
erate ranks—as you are Southern born, I de
mand this ot you—or trouble me no longer.”
As soon as Mr. Cobb had finished his hellish
words, young Cabel truly stood up in the position
of a soldier, and manly and bravely replied :
“Mr. Cobb, this is asking too much of me, and
although if I comply with your request I may
be saved from a horrible death here, I feci that I
cannot, for liberty and life, desert the flag I was
born under and swore before God to defend.
Oh 1 no, Mr. Cobb, do not ask so much ot me.
And let me ask you, Mr. Cobb, it you were a
prisoner in the Union lines, and such proposi
tions were offered you, what would you say”—
but before Cabel could finish the sentence, Cobb,
in a pompous manner, said : “What would 1
say? Why, if the United States Government,
under such circumstances, were to offer me not
ouly liberty, but fame and power, I would say
dig a hole large enough to contain me and
my lamily, and before 1 would swear alle
giance to the United States Government 1
would take my family' by the hand and
walk into the hole and be buried front
sight forever.” These are his exact words,
not only heard by mysell, but by many other
poor creatures that were listening, and talked
ovei in many a gloomy circle. After Mr. Cobb
had finished his supposed brave remarks, he
turned away to leave lor another portion of the
y ard, and poor Cabel w T enl back to our little
rave and threw himself upon the ground, Com
pletely overwhelmed in grief and despair ; spoke
oi ly of the "cruelly of Mr. Cobb, how little lie
expected it,” etc. When Mr. Cobb was seen re
turning from the lower part of the yard, young
Cabel said, “1 must try strength to make one
more appeal to him, yet 1 feel that 1 am dying;
it will be a dy ing man’s request; maybe be will
be kinder this time. I am sorry now that I
spoke of my brother. Cobb so bales a Union
man of Southern birth—1 wish I had spoken of
my mother; oh ! my mother, couid you but
know my condition—but look around, how 1
many there are like me, that have mothers now
mourning for their lost ones. Yet Mr. Cobb, a
former friend of mine, my brother and family,will
let me die here because our lamily loves the
old Union.” In this way young Cabel spoke
until Mr. Cobb came near our cave, and as
Cabel attempted to ga before Mr. Cobb to
speak, he was rudely thrust aside by the guard.
Cabel stood and watched Mr. Cobb until be left
the yard, and then quietly going to his place of
rest, threw himself down, seeming to care for no
one. Many poor creatures that, came to look at
him couid but pity, nothing else had they to give
but kind words of hope—yet so well aware were
they of the last despair of prisoners, that all
said that the “dead trench” would soon be the
last resting-place ot Cabel, and by 9 o’clock the
next morning the only thing of that dear young
boy was thrown into the dead cart. He died
during the night. I only know that he was alive
about 10 o’clock, as lie seemed then to be delir
ious, aud I knew, or at least felt, that his last
momenta were drawing to a close on earth. In
a letter from Hon. A. H. Stephens, of Georgia,
published last winter, he made mention of the
case of thb same young man Cabel—how he
had written to Mr. Cobb but got no answer, and
then wrote to the War Department at Rich
mond, but before they paid the least attention to
it he learned that young Cabel was dead, and
here he let the matter rest. My old comrades,
don’t forget these facts, and, above all, don’t for
get the human suffering at Andersouville and
every other rebel prison and in the name of jus
tice and humanity and for the future ot the
beloved country, vpee against Horatio Seymour.
T. E. Davis,
L&le 48th Regt. N. Y. S. Vol.
I desire, in the most emphatic and uncondi
tional manner, u> pronounce the statement of
this letter, so far as they refer to mysell, an un
mitigated fabrication from beginning to the end.
There is not the stightesl pretext upon which it
can rest. Neither to this Mr. Cabel, nor to any
other prisoner at Andersonville, or elsewhere,
did I ever use the language imputed to me, or
anything at all resembling it. No one who
knows me will credjt the charge lor a moment.
It is not my nature qr disposition to treat any
body-much less a helpless prisoner—in a man
ner so cruel aud ^Seeling. John W. Forney
M
knows me, and he knew at the time he pub
lished this letter to the world that its statements
were not, could not, be true. I make this une
quivocal denial to protect my name in the esti
mation of those who, unlike Mr. Forney, do not
know me. Whatever else may be said of me,
cruelty or unkindness to prisoners can in no
instance be charged against me. On the con
trary, I can say with truth that during the war
no prisoner ever made a request of me, which it
was in my power to grant, that was not promptly
responded to, and there are those in Mr. For
ney’s own State who will bear testimony to the
fact. Allow me to add that the statements in
this letter bear internal evidence of their falsity.
Mr. Cabel, the former member of Congress,
whom I am made to denounce as a traitor, &c.,
was my personal friend, and was with the Sontli
during the whole war, and in the Confederate
army at. its close. If he ever had a brother in
the Federal army, I never heard oi it.
The Andersonville prison was never in my
command, nor under my control, but the guard
employed there was detailed from my troops,
aud this occasioned the three visits I made to it.
On one of these visits I received a message from
a prisoner by the name of Cabel, from Ohio, that
he desired to see me. I applied to the com
mandant of the prison to have him brought out
of the prison to the quarters I was occupying
for the day. The request was promptly com
plied with, and I had an interview with Mr.
Cabel, who was quite an intelligent man, which
lasted for an hour or two. The interview was
as pleasant as could be. There was not an of
fensive word said on either side, and at the close
of it Mr. Cabel expressed to me his thanks lor
the manner in which I received and treated
him. The only request made of me that I had
the power to grant was promptly grauted, and
he appreciated it, as he did my whole conduct
and bearing towards him in the spirit ot kind
ness which dictated it. I have no wish to ex
tend this communication by any comments.
Howell Cobb.
P. 8.—Since writing the above, I have casually
met with Mr. Cabel, formerly of Florida, who
expressed the greatest surprise and indignation
at the statements in this letter, and authorizes
me to say that he had no brother or other near
relative in the Federal army that he knows of.
