THE ANDERSONVILLE OF TO-DAY.

The Andersonville graveyard, as described by a recent visitor, is an unfrequented spot, except for travelers from the North, among whom are many war veterans who were prisoners in the stockade. There are 13,715 marked "Unknown." There is a surrounding wall of solid brick, and the place is kept neat by a resident Superintendent under Government pay. Part of the stockade is still standing, but nothing remains of the prison, and the site is covered by bushes. There is no trace of the famous brook, nor any marks of the wells dug by the prisoners.
