OUR MARTYRS AT ANDERSONVILLE. For the only complete roll of the martyrs who perished at Andersonville, the nation is indebted to private Dorence Atwater of Plymouth, Conn. Young Atwater was captured, with others of the First Squadron, near Hagerstown, Md., in a fight with Lee's retreating army, and was taken to various prisons, ultimately arriving at Andersonville in February, 1864. Being a neat penman, he was soon detailed as a clerk in the surgeon's office, to keep the daily record of deaths. While serving in this capacity, knowing of the appalling mortality inside the stockade, he secretly made a duplicate roll of all the deaths, which he surreptitiously brought away with him in March, 1865. He alleges that he sold to Col. Breck of the War Department, for three hundred dollars, the privilege of copying the rolls; the originals to be returned to him. Breck retained the whole. Afterwards, in visiting Andersonville with Miss Clara Barton to mark the graves, Atwater recovered possession of his list, and, on refusing to deliver it to the War Department, was seized by Col. Breck, court-martialed, convicted of theft, and sent to the Albany Penitentiary as a criminal. He was released with impaired health under a general amnesty, and, with the encouragement and assistance of Miss Barton, published the roll for the benefit of surviving friends. The following are the names of the martyrs from Connecticut: [All persons numbered below | No. of 12,367 died in 1864; above grave. that number, in 1865.] Name. 8018 Ballentine, Robert 25 Dowd, F. 10255 Frederick, John 7592 Goodrich, J.
