that in this first aot of ihia embarrassing rid
. ministration General flatiorson behaved like
a soldier and a statesinan. It may not', be.
too much for us to add! that, if oquhl' promp
titude and sagacity l)nd been at that, time
. shown by othej' men in high command, many
ot the early mistaken of the war would have
been,avoided. . _
; In the' early part of the war many of our
: distinguished men were of the opinion that
it would - be a temporary insurrection, and
might be easily suppressed with admail mil
itary force; A few. olear-honded men, who
saw -the real bearing of this war, thought
; differently, and among this number we must
’ place General Patterson. Ho early believed

shows conclusively that the mistakes.qf this
campaign were not made by our Pennsylva
nia qommander, and that- the words of Mr,
.Lincoln were very true when he said to Gen

obeyed orders and did your duty."
Left in ignoraqoo of the results of Bull

of an Tutsok upon Winchester, and afkcd,
“ Shall I attack ?’’■ This.was ot 1. 30 A. 51.
on the 18th of July, twelve hours before the

was returned, and General' Patterson was
loft to hear the result of McDowell’s move

Monday. , On the 20th of July General Pat
terson informed’General Scott by telegraph
rtbdb Johnson bad left Winchester on the af
ternoop of the 18th, and the telegraphic de
spatch was reoeivedj in seasoQ to hove de
layed the battle until rekilorccmenfs could

mittee on the conduct of the War shows that
tjyentyrfour thousand;men: were,bold in.re
serve at the battle of. Bull Run, which was
‘inure Unin double the .number pf Patterson’s
coinni'and. These, men were’ hever'handled
at all. If Patterson’s .column was so heoes-

that. waS little more than a Chinese ;fight),
why.wore these reserves hotemployed ? .The
questroli as,to who mismanaged Bull Run re

Lieutenant-General Wade Hampton, Com

—lt is officially reported to me that our for

Chesterville, and another of twenty " near a
ravine, eighty rods from the main road,”
about three miles from Feastemllo. I-have
ordered a similar number of prisoners in ogt
hands to- bo disposed tofdn like manner.
I hold about ono thousand prisoners cap
tured in various ways, and -can stand it as
long as you, but I hardly think these mur
ders are' committed with your knowledge,
■ and would suggest that you give notice to
the people st large that every life .taken by
them simply results in the death of one .of
your Confederates.,,
Of course you cannot question my right to
forage on the country. It is a war right-.as
old as history. The mannerof exercising, it
varies with circumstances, and if the civil
authorities will supply my requisition I will
forbid all foraging.’ „Hut I'find no civil au
thorities who can respond to calls- for provi
sions or forage, and therefore must collect
directly of the people. I have no doubt this:
is the occasion of much misbehavior on the
part of our. men, hut I cannot permit an ene
my to judge 05 punish with wholesale mur
der. ... .
Personally,.! fogret the bitter feelings .en
gendered by this war, but they were .to be
expected, arid I simply glloge that those -who
struck the first blow, and made Aval. inevita
ble, ougptnotin fairness to tts.for
the naturaKconseguences. I merely assert
our war right to iorage, and myVesdWb to
protect my foragers to the extent of life for

1805.—rMajor-Oenerol W. T. Sherman, Jj. S.
A.i-rGqnefal—Your communication ot, the
24th iii&t. reached we to-day. In it you state
that it has been officially reported that yorffc
foraging parties were 44 murdered” after cap
ture, aud jou'go on to say that you had 14or
dered a similar number of prisoners in our
hands to'be disposed of in like naanner. >, - i r
Fhac is to say, you have ordered a number of
'-Oon/ederate soldi&ra.to ‘‘ murdered.’”-
You. characterize your order, in ..proper
terms, for the public voice even in
country; where it seldom dares to .express’it
self in vindication of truth, honor or Justice,
will surely agree with you in pronouncing,
you guiliy .of murder, if your order is carried
■out. ,
■ Before dismissing this portion of your let
ter, I Beg to Assure you that for every soldier
of mine murdered I shall have exe
cuted at once iwo of yours, giving, in all ca
ses, preference to any officers who may be in
my hands. .
In reference to’thc KtatcmGnt you make re
garding the death of your foragers, I.have
only to say that X know nothing of it; that
no orders given by me authorize the killing
of prisoners after capturo.'hnd that I do not
believe that any of tny men killed; any of
yours, except under oiroumstanoes in which
it was perfectly legitimate and proper ; that
they should, kill them., .
It is a part of the'system of "thieves whom
you designate as foragers, to fire the dwellings
of those citizens whom they have robbed.
Xu check this inhuman system, which is
justly ,executed by every piyijized natiqn, X
have directed’my lion to shoot down all of
your mien who ore caught burning houses.—
Chis order shall remain, in ferae ias long as
yon disgrace the profession of arms, by ,al
lowing your men to destroy, private, dwell
ings!' -", ' ■ ■' "
" You say 1 that X cannot, of cburse, question
your right to forage on ths country.;lt is
, a right ,nb old, as history.' ", Xdo not, sir,
question this right. -But there is a right ol
der: even than- this, and one more inalienable,
the right that every'man has to defend his
home, and to protect,those who are depend
ent upon : hint., An,d from .my. heart I .wish
tlmt.ovefy.old man and boy in. my country,
who dan fife a gon would shoot down, as he
would a wild beast, the-men who are desolo
iing tbeir land,/burning their-houees and in
sulting their, women.
J You ere particular, iu defining and claim
ing “war rights.’'' May I ask if you enum
erate ' among them the 1 right to fir© upon a
defenceless city without notice j to burn that
city .to.thp.ground after, it bad. been surren
dered .by the' authorities, who claimed, tho’
in vain, 1 that protection whioti is always ©o
corded in civilised warfare tonon-combatante;
to fire tlie dwelling houses' of .citizens, after
robbing them, and to perpetrate even darker
crimes than these, crimes too black to-be
mentioned? o ’’ ‘ ,
: i You have permitted, if you have not or
dered, the commission of those offenses against
humanity .and ,the rules of war :,.,dYou fired
info the pity, of Columbia without a word of
'warning;'' After its surrender by thaiMaydr,
who demanded: protection to private proper
ty, you laid the;whole City ih ashes, leaving
amid its ruins thousands ,of old men and.
helpless women and children, who aro likely
to perish of starvation arid exposure. ' Your
line of matdh oau-be traced by the lurid light
of .burning •bouses, and in •> more than one
household there is an. agony far more bitter
than that of death. 1 ,
The Indian eoalped his victim regardless

Tho Siame.'o Twins have hoop lost-from
public view for .the last few years. - Mt was
well known of them that they bad married
two sisters, and settled down near Salisbury,
in'North Carolina, bn a'.well Bfodked.planta
tion. " In addition to this, they bare ample
funds invested through their agent in New
York.. Through a North, .Carolina medical
gentleman now within our lines, we had the
other day an opportunity’of minute and fill
particulars in regard to them. EvetTfcirioe
the war began, they havooon tinuedtOTOside
bn their . plantation,and. lived in.the
quiet and-harmon'y as over until within two
years. Of course no ohe .’evbr’Thbttght of
drafting them, and their negroes,prospered,
except tbpt when, out of. tempys from'any
cause, it was apt to .wjcrkitsßlfjO.ifih qlriking
the’first onb that came to liiind,’ from which
the best esbap’e was to keep oat ofihb way,
The brothers probably,jsiever yr.onld haVe had
any difficulty, but that, thoir wives,"though
sisters, (turned away their, hearts, add .chil
dren were the Gause of-this estrangement. -
Up'to the time th at -cach had five children,
all prospered Well bpough. bat onoof them
had a sixth, and this awoke envy and jealousy
to such a degree that the two sisters, not." S
wing bound together Tike the twin brothers,
would no .longer live tinder the same' roof,
though, we believe, still in different- bouses
on ille same plantation. The brothers are
now it aeotna.-obout fifty years, of ago, but ono
we believe, the and feebler iof tho
two, looks it Is said, now fully ten.yearaoldor
than the other. They can turn book to back
or face fo face, but : that is as far as there-'
markable bond that unites them p'erputs.4—
It is'almost certain that should either .die
the other could not survive. evbn for more
than a few minutes, as t here is an arteiyas
large as the foemoral artery that connects
them. ~,.. -
«. A few years since they corresponded with
some of the leading surgical operators in
London, as to the possibility of the umbilicus
which unites them being cut, so that in cast
of the death of tbe one, the life of the. other
might he saved. At the .request of tlio Lon
don Surgeon, they .visited that city, a'nd many
experiments were tried to’ determine The
safety of such an’. operation.* ■ Among other
things, a ligature was tied firmly Tiqr a few
minutes round the connexion between them,
■eo, as to prevent the, .circulation of blood
through (ho artery. Biit .it seemed as if each
would expire if this were longer persisted In.
Ttio.amaUer of the away and
lost all-consciousness, and there were symp
toms that the same effect would follow.to the
other, but .that the process coald nofc bo con
tinue,d Jong enough without endangering the
life of him who was first to faint. ■ Should
the smaller and feebler die, it might be worth
while making the experiment;of. operating,
but the prospects of prolonging the. life of
other would be very email. ShoUld.how
ever,-the Target and more , healthy, if tho
twin brothora die, there would se£m absolute
ly no hope of saving the, feebler-of The; two.
From nil this it is evident, that though the
.aonneitioo-botween-those—two—brotlierenß
very remarkable and perfectly unique, itia
yet not-so absolute as has been usually.sup
posed. In the American. Cyclopaedia, for.in
