There are several islands beariug the nanie of Tortuga. The tcnn is Spanish, and signifies a tor-tois. Thc "Dry Tortugas" constitute an island group and bank in the Gulf of Mexico, about one hundred and twenty in'tles west of Cape Salile. Florida. There are ten islets or keys in all.

They coiiMst of a coral formation, and have little vegetation except mangrove bushes. )n one of them, known as liush Key' and "Ganlen Key," a lighthouse has been reeted. At the beginning of the rebell-ion thegovennnent undertook theconstuc- tion of Fort and sent thither Iractory persons to work upon the for-titications. They are too remote from any populated plaee to enablc prisoners to obtain means of escape too desolate to invite trad'mg vessels and all articles of luod must be supplied by governmcnt trans-jiorts. The place furnishes a seeure rath-t-r than an attractive place of rcsidencc.

THK WORST STOHY OF ALL. A Georgia planter, wlio livcd near An-deisonville and liad the means of accurate as to the treatment of our pris- oners, gives to the New York Post an account more phockiiif; in soine repect? than has been published There is no doubt that it is a plain statement of i'actF, without the slightest exaggeration. We (juote the material portion of it The position of the prisoner's camp was selected by Capt. Winder, a son of Gen. John II.

AVindcr, ilo vas sent from liiclimond for that purpose in thc latter part of 18G3. AVhen it was suggested to hini by a disintcrestcd but hiunane spec-tator of his operations that it would per-haps be better to leave the trees standing within the proposed stockade, as they would ailord sliade to the prisoners, he replied That was just what he wa3 not going to do he was going to niake a pen for the Yankees, where they could rot i'iister than they could be sent there." And admirably did he aecomplish his mis-sion. At lirst it was custoinary to send a into the stockade cvery niorning at 10 o'clock, loaded with the rations for the day bacon and com-bread, nothing elsc but as the number of prisoners increased and the greed of gain upon the trio above nientioned, the corn-bread was redueed in its quality. being then lnanufaclurcd of etiiial proportions of ground field peas and coriij unbolted, unsiftcd, uncleansed in-doed, from the dirt and trash whicli peas naturally accuinulate and at last, when the number of prisoners increased to over 37,000, the meat rations pcr week were redueed to a piece of bacon about three inches long and two wide, with one )one of bread above described per day. Then.

also, the custom of carrying thc prisoners' food into tho stockade in wagons was, abolished. They drove up to the gates, which were slightly opened, and the scan-ty food, foul and unhealthy as it was. was thrown inside by the guard to bc scram-bled for by the wretched prisoners, the strongcstand those nearest thegate getting the largcst share, the weak and sicklyget-ting none. 1 linvc mcutioned thesmall brook which runs through the lower part of the stockade, and whicli supplied the water for drinking and washing. Tiiis brook has its rise in a swanip not far i'rom the pris-on, and at no timc certaiiily not for a lcngthcned period was the water suitable or hcalthy but when the fa-ees and lilth, ihe drainngc of the whole camp of prisoners, canie to be superadded to the natu-ral unfitness of the water for drinking or eleansing purposcs, my readers can judge what thirst was aspuagcd, or fever cooled.

ui iuiui)iuig wiiMii'ii, oy uus 1. i 1 ,1 1 1 il tloating stroain of iilth and disease At any tiine, under the most hygicnic restric-tions, it is diHicull to maintain health and ch amongst a large body of men what do you think was the condition of 37,000 half-naked, half-starved men, with- out any police regulations, under no moral or restraining influcnces If the remnant who were linally allowcil to pass out of this military (lolgotha were not wild beasts, unwashed, befouled devils, no thanks are to be givcn Honry Wertz for lack of etfovt to produce such consunnna-tion. "When it rained, as it does in that climate alniost continually in the spring and fall nionths, tiie soil within the en-closure was one mas? of loblolly. soft mud, at least iifteen inches in depth, through which stalked and staggered the gaunt, half-clad wretches thus confincd. The stonch from the prison could bo perceived for two miles.

and farmers livinir in the ncighborhood bcgan to fear for the health of their families. Gen. Winder, then commissary jreneral of piisons, but having his headquarters at Andersonville, was forced by decency, not humanitv, for this he bimsclf asscrted, to ask the aid of the presiding elder of thc Methodist church of that curcuit to adopt some means to alleviate the miscries and soothe the wretchedness of the poor inmates of the Andersonville hospital. This gcntlcman invoked the co-operaiion ot the wonien of Sumter countv, who re-sponded with clothing and necessaries only, for these alone were allowed, to the amount of four wagon loads. L'pon the day appointed, tour ladies, accompanied iy tncir husuands, went to tlic prison, and souglit from the provost marshal a pass 1 1 to take their benefactions to the sick prisoners.

It was refused with a curse The party proceedcd to Winder head- (piarters. wliere Henry Wertz was 111 ompany with the general. The demand for a pass was rcpeatcd. Understand the ladies were prcscnt, and the reasons given why thc party were there, in accordance with mdcr's special rcquest. lo their astonishment they were met with this re- ply you, have you all turncd Yankecs here? "No, general," rcsponded the spokesman of the party, I not, as you know, nor are any here present we have come, as you requcsted us, through Rev.

Shocked, terrified, beaten to the verv dust with mortitication, the party retired antt loiicu 111 their eltorts to suceor the sick, or alleviate the tortures of the dyino- iituu suituer, iney gave meir loads ot clothing and food to a passing column of tederal prisoners on their way to another place Millen. They at least had the sat istaction of knowing that some were ben efited, even if they had failed in their ef-torts for those who most needed their as- sistance. During the last winter whicli was un usually cold for Georgia, when the ice made an inch thick no shelter, no blan- kets or clothes, no wood was provided for ST.

JOHNSBURY, PE.IDAT, ATJGTJST the wretched inmates of that prison. Squads were permitted, to thc number of thirty, to go out under guard daily, for one hour, without axes or any cutting tool, to gatlier thc refuse and rotten wood in the forests and if they outstaid their time they were tried by drum-head court martial, charged with violating their pa-role, and, if found gnilty, were hung! Imyselfsay three bodies hanging, who were thus exccuted. Poor fellows, I thought, God has taken pity npon you and given you deliverance from your cruel jailor. When you and he meet at anoth-er judgement seat, woe to him if his nu-thority be found insuflicient for this taking of your lives, wretched though they be. AFFIDAVIT OF A CONNECTICUT SOLDIER.

I was corporal in company fith Connecticut voluntcers, Avas captured in front ofPetersburg, July 18, 1863, at Laurel Hill was taken from there to Libby prison, then to Belle Island, and to Anderson-ville. September 5, 18G3. Whilst at An-dersonville the rations were served out by Major Allen of the 2d Virginia cavalry (rcbel). Allen sometimes would go up to the Uniled States men and ask them if they would take the oath to the confedera-cy, and upon their declining to do so would say, don't give them a mouthful to eat to-day." At one time he took eight of us, mypelf amongst the number, all non-comniissioend ofncers, and upon our refus-ing to take the oath and to persuade the privates to do so, tiedeach of us, ourhands and arms to our sides and our feet togeth-er, so that we could not upc them, laid us on our sides, and then took a loaded pistol and resting it on our ears, tired it otf, caus-ing us the greatest aguny, and tho blood to llow from our ears. Ile caused the pistol to be thus tired on niy ear twolvc times, saying I will niake you so you cau't hear the command of another Yan-kee general or conimander." The hearing of niy right ear has been dcstroyed in con-sequence of this treatment.

L'pon niy re-turn through from my imprisonmont. I saw Major Allen in Richmond, serv-ingout provisions by the United States governmcnt to the poor of Richmond. There is now Richmond a Mr. Schaflbr who was a baker for the military prisons, who can substantiate this statement. I'etek J.

Having brielly narrated the ascent of the party, the wnter siiys met with 110 trreat diihcultv. Tl ley and reached the top about '2 o'clock.

There they were in the greatest delight at theac- coinplishment of their purpoc. We saw them distinctly from Zermatt. About 3 o'clock they bcgan the descent. Soon after they were all roped together. Croz (guide) was first, Hadow next then came Iludson, Lord Francis Douglas, Petcr Taugevald (guide), Whympcr and Peter Taugevald's son.

Not far from thc sum-mit they had to pass over a ditlicult and rather dangerous place. It was a decliue composed of snow and rock, with very inditferent holding for thc feet. They were dcscending with great caution. when Whympcr was startled by an exclaniation from Croz. and thc next moment he saw Hadow and Croz flying downward.

The wcight of thc two falling men jerked Iludson and Lord Francis Douglas from their feet. The two Ttiugevalds and Whymper, having a warning of a second or two from the time that Croz called out, planted themselves as iinnly as possible, to hold the others up. the pressure upon the ropc was to much. It broke, and Croz, Hadow, Iludson, and Lord Francis Douglas fell headlong down the slope and shot out of sight over a fearful precipicc. Mr.

Whympcr's feelings at this time may be imagined. The two remaining guidcs were so completely unuerved by the calannty which had befallen their com-panions that he found it difiicult to defcend with them. He and they spent a misera-ble night on the mountain at a great height. As they camc down they looked in all di-rections for some traces of their compan-ions, but from the shape of the mountain they could not catch even a glimpse of them, At 10.30 A. M.

on Saturday they reached Zermatt." Fhc writer, who accompanied the party that was dispatched in search of the bod-ies lost, savs "After an arduous walk, in which we were exposcd to much danaer, we reached thc snow field on to which our friends had fallen. When we looked up at the 4000 teet above us, and observcd how they must have bumped from rock to rock beforc they reached the bottom, we knew they could not be alive. and we feared that they would be so awfully mangled that we should not hn nlilr to reoormize them. Our worst fers wnrfi rfinlized. We found 110 traces of Lord Francis Doudas, with the exception of some trifline articles of dress.

From the state of their remains, the danger of the place (for it is exposed to showers of stones), and the very great dif-ficulty of the way to it, we came to the conclusion that the best things thc we could do would be to bury them in the snow. We drew them all to one spot, covered them with snow, read over them the 90th Psalni from a prayer book taken from poor Hud-son's pocket, repeated some prayers and a few words from thc burial service, and left them."

The vessel immediately took lire. The middle deck was then, as may lc imagin-ed, full of smoke, and the ignifcd tar, which had fiilloii on the deck, fiowetl with the roll of the ship under the bed of one of the emigrants, setting it on lire.

KKFOKTS TOSAVE THE SIIII'. In an instant the flames sprcad to all the other beds fore and aft, rendering it impossible for the men to do auythiug to extinguish them. Even beforc they could reach the leck immensc cohnnns of Hame shot up through the hatchwav, and reach-j ing the sheets of mainpail (all sail was sct at that moment), enveloped the maininast with thc rapidity of lightninjr. In thc twinkling of an eye all the sails on the maintniLt were on fire, as well as the rig-! ging. 1 he captain immediately ordered part ot the crew to get the boats ready, in order to save as manv j)asscngers a posi-ble, and the rest to close the ventiiators and the hatchwavs.

This was hardlv 1 done, when a number of men, consistinr part ly ofsailors and partly of emigrants. formed a chain fore and aft, in order to pass buckets of water. which were pmircd 1 jdown the main hatchwav, whence issued'had no proisions and thc other had a coluinn of flame.

Hut wliile thc boat was still alongside soine more emigrants leaped into it and capsized her a second time. The saiiors were again able to right it, and took on board a- manv passengers as it could hold. The captain hiniself assisted in lowering the launch. and the second niate. the only sailor who cniereu 11.

was ionunaie enough to save several cabin passentrers, amonr seven wonien and four ehildren. one not three nionths old. The two other boats! were lowered witli much trouble. The largcst contained no less than thir- ty-live jiassengers, with six of the crew. some of whom gol into boat less heavily Iaden, leaving two to steer.

The last boat with the same number ofsailors. and full of emigrants. succeeded in rcttinr clear ot those who, endeavoriiiir to jump in olf the ship, fell into the water and swam around it. It is miraculous that it was not capsized in the eflbrts the poor ereatures made to get on board. Mean-whilc the captain, seeing that he could do nothing more to save the ship, ordered the rest of the crew, about iifteen men.

to throw ovcrboard cverything possible that would float spars, plauks. barrels. hcn-coops, All were lashed together, so sis to form a kind of raft, in order to save as many lives a possible. This was hard-ly tinishcd when the unhappy passengers still on board, Iosing all presence of mind, threw theniselvcs upon it in large nunibcrs tollowcd by several of the saiiors, lilling the air with despairing cries. Others 011 board the ship rushed inadly from onc cnd of thc deck to the other.

and, going into thc cabin, broke the furniture and threw it into the water. TF.KKIBLE SCEXES. The confusion which now reigned was boyond anything possible to conceivc. The tumult was such that it was impossi-ble for the captain to make himself heard, though giving reiterated orders to stop the panic. This took place about half an hour after the fire broke out.

At this time from 130 to 150 emiijrants had suc-ceeded in getting upon sjiars alongside the ship, though there were many strnggling the water, when the topmasts, with their yards all ou fire, stiddenly gave way and fell right upon them, killing many at once and throwing the others into the sea. The cries of the wounded and drowning were terrible. AVords are pow-erless to give an idea of the horrors of thc scene. Ihe untortunates still on board the ship, in their great terror, surroundcd thc captain and the saiiors, clinging to them and bcsceching them to save them. But they could do nothing.

Some time after, the fire between dccks gaining thc uppcr deck and the imists, a iresh panic broke out among them, and, seeing their only cliancc of safety was to get upon the raft, thc poor ereatures fought among themselves to reach it. Several fell into the water and were drowned others succeeded in reacbing the raft, 18, 1865. but they were not to escape their fate, for tjlc maiinnast fell upon them some niinutes attcrwardand crushed several to deatn.
