| | ANDERSONVILLE, By John McElroy, Vol. 2 |
 | | The stalwart, huge-limbed, toil-inured men sank down earliest on the march, yielded soonest to malarial influences, and fell first under the combined effects of home-sickness, exposure and the privations of army life. |
 | | The official report puts down the number of deaths from scurvy at three thousand five hundred and seventy-four, but Dr. Jones, the Rebel surgeon, reported to the Rebel Government his belief that nine-tenths of the great mortality of the prison was due, either directly or indirectly, to this cause. |
 | | They were knocked down and their persons rifled with such swift dexterity that it was done before they realized what had happened. |
