WAKING UP IN ANDERSONVILLE--SOME DESCRIPTION OF THE PLACE--OUR FIRST MAIL--BUILDING SHELTER--GEN.

WINDER--HIMSELF AND LINEAGE.
We roused up promptly with the dawn to take a survey of our new abiding place.

We found ourselves in an immense pen, about one thousand feet long by eight hundred wide, as a young surveyor--a member of the Thirty-fourth Ohio--informed us after he had paced it off.

He estimated that it contained about sixteen acres.

The walls were formed by pine logs twenty-five feet long, from two to three feet in diameter, hewn square, set into the ground to a depth of five feet, and placed so close together as to leave no crack through which the country outside could be seen.
