Confederate Dead in Madison, Wisconsin. An effort is to be made to have the resting place of the 110 brave confederate soldiers, who were Alabamians, and died while in prison at Madison, Wisconsin, marked by a fitting shaft. Captain S.B. Trapp, president of the convict bureau, will call the matter to the attention of the Ladies' Memorial Association of Alabama, and ask that some steps for the preservation of the graves be taken. The soldiers were members of the First Alabama Regiment, which was captured at Island No. 10, and imprisoned at Madison. During their imprisonment 110 of them died.
