MR-DAVtS ON AND£N$ONVILL£ PRISON
Fretideut Davis, tome time be
fore bis death,wrote ao article o»
"Aoderaonville and other war pris
ons,” which appears io the January
aaml «-ot Bel ford’s Magazine, now
before as. *Tliis at tide, whiles con
▼toeing defense dr the Confederacy,
at the same time shows op in plain
colors the selfish brutality, hypocra
cy sod,slander of the Northern lead
ers daring and since the war, and
convincingly proves to every fair
and reasoning mind that the suf
fering of Federal prisoners was not
due to the treatment that they re-
. oeived at the hauds of theirf captors,
but to the poverty of theConfederacy,
and the litrliarous refusal of the
Northern commanders to agree to an
exchange or parol of prisoners,- as
the whole world was open to them
to recruit from, whi e a man taken
from ti>e Southern aimy could not
be replaced.
Mr. Davis says that when the.
United States auUiorit.es refuted to
fulfill their obligation to continue the
exchange add parole of prisoners, the
Climber of Northern Captives' rapid
ly accumulated beyond the capacity
of the prisons at Richmond, and also
beyond the ability of the cotnmis*
cierat to supply them. In the ab
sence of any prospects ol relief from
these embarrassments ’ the removal
of prisoners became necessary. The
food was different from that to which
most of the prisoners had been ac
customed, particularly in the use of
■corn meal instead of wheat Hour. Oi'
the latter it was not possible,in 1864,
to get at adequate supply at Ander-
eouvillc.
When it was decided to locate *
pris >n at AudersonviUe, General
Howell Cobb was iu c nonand of the
district of Georgia. He was a man
of large capital, invested iu planting
and farming, of generous and genial
temper, so much so that, all who knew
him wilt readily believe that if the
prisoners within his c( in matul had
becu suderiug for want of food he
would have supplied them gratui
tously with such articles as bis faim
produced. Thus probably arose thi
report that he had sent provisions to
the prisoners, and it probably got
wider circulation as confirmation of
tbo starvation theory.
Mr. Davis writes that everything
wrs dona for the comfort and preser
vation of its prisoners that the cir-
■Ciinistanees tendered possible, and
that Gen. Wilder, who had control of
the Northern prisoners, was an hon
est, upright nod humane j,entlemau :
Mr. Davis says:
Genual Winder arrived at ’Anderson,
Til e on June 17th, 1SG4; and> found ran.
grene and tcutviy misting, and on the
20th of that uontii recomim mJed tin-.t the
premiers should be removed as soon as
possible to oilier posts. He r-c-ived or.
oera to remove the prisoners t • Mtikn and
Other points suitable for their safety and
health as si on as the necessary arrange
ments couldbe made.
The want of transpottation and the Id-
aofflciency of gun dt produced occasional
delays in the removal of prisioner*; but dn
the last of September the numb, r had been
reduced fiora tweuty or thiity tltousand ip
•bout five tbo"taaud, who were t >o ill for
the transportation. General Winder bad,
in the meantime, recommend, d that
agents should be employed to procure
vegetables; these and all other suggtgtioos
fortbe comfort of the prisoners were
sanctioned by the SxtcutiveCommittee at
Richmond.
Much mere might be added, but the fore
going is believed to be enough to refute
. the charges made against General Winder
of crutl y to prisoners.
Let ua now coneider the conduct of the
unhappy victim, Captain Heury Wiiz and
proceedings by which he was cond. mned
and ex< coted. From such information as
I posse-s.be was a native of Switz Hand,
was a pbys.cian, and practising Ids pro
fession in Western Louisiana in 1861; be
cnlered the Confederate army at the _ be
ginning of the war* in the battle of Ma
nassas his arm was broken, so that be re
main) d a cripple permanently. Gem nd
Winder, who had opportunities to know
bim while employed at the Libby prison
in Bicbmonri, seleclccted him for superin
tendent of the prison at Anders,inville.
Mr. Davis says of Audersonville
ISirison and Mr. Wirlz:

to the noribwest oi the prison. Tuey

ded the attempt to sub >rn Captain Wtrz

what a mau he was. Bow many ot his d< -
fameis would have done the saute? With
his wounded arm iu a sling, the poot
paroled prisoner mounted, two hours later,
the scaffold. His last words were that he
died innocent,"
***
Rev F. E.Koyle who attended Wirz
on the 8caffbld%ay-a.
‘•I attended the Major to the scaffold, and
he died io the peace oi God and praying foi
bis enemies. I know that he was indeed
innocent of all the cruel charges on which
his life was sworn away, and I was edifi. d
by the Clirislain spirit in which' he submit
ted to bis persecutors.
*% • ■
These witnesses were men ot high char
acter aud inteiligei.ee, of whom it could
not be pretended that they were in any
manner connected with the charges under
consideration, or otherwise of doubtful
credibility. Could as roucb be said in behalf
of the witnesses for the prosecution? Was
a prisoner who violated his parole and was
captured,a proper accuser of the subaltern
whose duly it was to prevent his escape,
and, uot having a sufficient guard for that
purpose, employed-dogs to track the fugi
tive-?
A few words will suffice for ibe blood
hound horror. Since the war I have beeu
infprmed that there was not one blood
hound at Andersbnviile prison, but sorti--
derr— or fox hounds were kept tn follow
prisnners, who, when paroled for volunta
ry service broke faith and fl- d. When time
shall have softened pa-sion and prejudice,
wh-n reason shall have stripped the mask
from misrepresentation, thro justice, hold
ing evenly her scales, will require much of
past censure and prai-.e to chauge places.

Mt—I am itt re« e p' of a circular from
you in which you express vottr inten
tion ofbeginnuije the publication of a
“Colored Democnicratio News (taper.’’
in tlie City of New York. I was very
much gratified to h- ar of such a-^enter
prise, and hope and pretiict for you
zod your patter great success. If I ain
correctly informed, there is nota single
newspaper published in the Union by
colored men, in the interest of the Dem
ocratic party; and I must say that such
intentions as you express in youi* circu
lar, will be kindly received by your
white friends, and that they will "render
to you generous support and assistance
iti the cause which you espouse.
Then a newspaper published by col
ored men in the interest' of the Demo
cratic party is gratifying iu othqy re
spects. It show s that tlie colored voters
are at last avrakiug-to the fact that the
promise* so often made l>y the Republi
cans to the negro are empty and mean-
ingless.
They get the colored votes, pacify
them with promises (which they never
keep) and give the officers to the"admin
istration family.
It is also an evidence that the princi
ples of Democracy are ott the ascend
ency; and that the negro as well as the
white people are beginning to realize
that in the principles of Democracy
exist the life and salvation of national
ecohoniy and the welfare of American
citizens, and. a form of government
•‘for the people anil by the people.”
I.et vour paper be conservative but ag
gressive. Teach the to ten of your race
chat they are 'under no obligations to
the Republican party; that the deb’, if
any ever existed, has certainly been
paid lit 23 years’ loyalty, and that the
Democrats ropri smit their best inter
ests. Upon the receiptof the first copy
of The National Eve l will forward my
subscription and rendyrperhaps further
assistance. Yours Democratically,
