From The New-York Times December 17 1864:
THE PRISON PENS IN THE SOUTH; Necrology of the Union Captives. The Dead at Savannah, at Florence and at Andersonville. Leaves from a Diary Kept at Florence, South Carolina. Glimpses of Life in the Hospital and Life in the Stockade.
FLAG-OF-TRUCE STEAMER NEW-YORK, OFF FORT SUMTER, CHARLESTON. S.C., Monday, Dec. 12, 1864.
In fulfillment of the promise made in the closing paragraph of my last letter, I send herewith a long list of names of the soldiers deceased at Savannah, Florence and Andersonville. I have no heart, for the present at least, to write further details of the revolting cruelties practiced upon our captives in the South, and shall thus spare your readers for a time the perusal of what must be a dismal, soul-sickening record. Surely the facts already presented have been convincing enough even for the most charitably inclined persons, to believe that the deliberate charge of “barbarity” I have made against the rebel authorities was founded in truth.
