From the Richmond Sentinel, 12/30/1863, p. 1, c. 7
Change of Base. – It will not be long ere many of
the Yankee prisoners, now in confinement on Belle Isle, will have an opportunity
of breathing the salubrious air farther South, the Government having made
selection of a spot in Georgia, near Andersonville, Sumtar county, for their
reception and safe-keeping, their present place of confinement being rather
over-crowded. The location is on the Southwestern railroad, between Oglethorpe
and Americus, where no difficulty will be encountered in supplying their wants.
