which you will be duirinfotmod.
I need hardly assure yolii'General, that so

Tii regard to retaliation by taking the lives
of innocentpersons, I know of no modern an
thoilty Which' justdies It excepton the extreme
case of a war with any uncivilized foe, which
has himself first established such a barbarous
rule. , , The United Buttes will never counten

applies 'such a rule to our citizens.

GXNBLIAL 1 - --On the 29th of June last, I was
instructed by the Secretary of War to inquire
of Major Gen. McClellan as to the truth of al
leged murders committed on our citizens by
officers of the United States Army.
Tue cases of Wm. B. Rumford, reported to
have been murdered at New Orleans by order
of Major Geutual B. F. Butler, and Cul. Jahn
Owen, reported to have feen murdered in Mis
souri by order of Major General , Pope, were
those referred to.
I had the honor to be informed by Maj. Gen.
Itt'Ciellao, that he bad iefered these inquirieb
to his government tor a reply. No answer ham
as yet been received.
The Preeident of the Confederate States has
since breu crtclibly informed that numerous
other officers of the army of the United States,
within the Confederacy, have been guilty 01
felonies and capital offences, which are punish
able by all laws humane and divine.
Z. am' directed by him to bring to your notice
a few of those best authenticated newspapers
received from the United States, announce as a
met that Major Ilneral Rueter has armed
tile/eel& the murder of their mitigate, and has
done all in his power to inaugurate a servile
worse than that of the savage,
as it papered& sothsc honors to the
indiscriminate slaughter of all ages, sexes and
conditions.
Brig. General Phelps is reported to have in
iated at New. Orleans the example set' by Maj.
GerteralMunter on-the coast of South Carolina.
Brig. General NOV. Fitch is stated in the same
journals to have murdered in cold blood ten
peaceful " citizens, 'becanae one of their 'men

"I am instructed by the =President of the Con
federate States to repeat the enquiry relative to
the cases of Biumford and Owen, and to, ask
whether the statement in relation to the action
of Generals Hunter, Phelps and Mit are ad

these Generals is sanctioned by their govern.
'rent.
I-vOn further directed. by histacelleney,;ths
President. to give notice that, the evedt of
not receivit g,a reply to these inquiries within
fifteen days fiom 'the delivery of this letter,'
that it wilt heamumed•that the alleged facti are
true,
and are sanctioned by the governmeit of
the United States. In such an event, on hat
Government will rest the responsibility Ofl-the, ,
retdbution of retaliating measures which. Shall
be adopted to pet an end to the inerciless atrooi
