The Daily Dispatch: November 26, 1863., [Electronic resource], The Yankee prisoners on Belle Isle (search)
nd a feeling of despondency prevailed at once among the prisoners. Trifling cases immediately assumed a serious phase, and deaths increased most remarkably. Thus it is seen in this fact how the inhuman Northern Government is persecuting its own soldiers by its deliberate and atrocious plan to starve out the metropolis of the Southern Confederacy by compelling an accumulation of Yankee prisoners here to be fed and guarded. Capt. Turner, who has been so studiously slandered by the Yankee press, uses every means in his power for the promotion of the order and the health of the camp on Belle Isle. In this he has the co-operation of the accomplished surgeon, Dr. Wilkins, formerly of Maryland. Lieut. Bossieux, is the officer stationed on the Island, and there could not be a more energetic or sagacious man intrusted with the delicate and responsible duty of preserving order and enforcing sanitary measures for the regulation of so large a number of men, now upwards of five thousand.
