ANSWER OF GOP; 'IVISE TO FERNANDO
WOOD.
, , RICHMOND, Va , Nov. 4, 1859.
.IVy Dear Sir : I ,have duly received
and weighed every word of your letter.
I give it all credit for good Motive and
good [ morals, and as suggesting what,
perhaps, is ; good policy., Now listen to
me. for my mind, is inflexibly made up.
. Had I reached Harper's Ferry before
these men were captured' (and I would
have reached there an tithe. had I been [
forwarded as I ought to have been from
Washingt r ou and th:e Relay HOuse,) I
would have proclaimed martial law,
r f.,
have stormed them in the quickest possi
ble tzmewtrzve given, (nem no quarter,
and if any had survived, I would have
tried and eecutecl them under sentenceof court 1. rtial. But I was too late.
,fl fr
The pris o ners were captives, and I then
determined Ito protect them to the ut
most of Ityipower, and I - did protect them
with wy person., I escorted them to
prison, end placed around [ them such a
force as ta`uvercome Lynch law. Every
carufort was Oren them 'by •my orders;
and they have been scrupulously afforded
4fair and speedy trial, with every oppor
tunity of ITence fee crimes which were
openly . perpetrated, befare the eyes ofj
hundreds, and as openly confessed. They(
;could entitle conviction only by techuicall
exceptions,r and the chances for these l
they had to,` a greater degree, by the ex ;
pedition of prosecution. And the crimes,
deliberately done by them are the deepest
and darkest kind which can be commiti
ted against our people. Brown, the chief
leader, has been legally and fairly tried
and convicted admits the humanity dins
treatments[a a prisoner, the truth of the
indictment and the truthfulmass of the
witnesses against him. He has beeb
allowed excess of counsel, and the free
dom of . speech , ' beyond any prisot+
known to me int our trials. It was im
possible not to convict him. He is sen
tenced to be hung ; that is the sentonde
of a mild code, blimanely adjudged, add .
requires no duty from me, except to see
that it is executed. I have to .sign no
death warrant. If the Executiye inter
poses at all, it is to pardon ; and to par
don him I have received petittoni,prayers,
and threats from almost every F ee State
in the Union. From !honest, patriotic
men like yourself, many of th m, I am • I
informed that [banging will ma e him a
martyr. Ah ! Will it? Wh . ? The
obvious answer to that questien Shows
me aboie everything the necessity for
hangiou him. Yon ask, "Have you nerve

now-be considered as definitely -'settled,
ttrofigh no less a person than ex-rebel
Senator Foote. It appears that Mr. Foote
wawa inember'of the Committee in the
Senate to examine into the treatment of
prisoners, and the report off

usage and starvation. His story, as told
by his own relatives, shows a deeper. in.
tention'than has been generally supposed
and fastens Upon Jeff. Davis and his cab.

in their details. '
Mr. Foote, it-is aaid, states that the

that it was decided in cabinet meeting
to reduce the rations served out to the
-prisoners, that •it should io weaken their
constithtion in connection with the con
fludtuent, that it would destroy thorn 'as
soldiers, and make them when exchanged
worthless.
Senator Foote determined to report these
facts to the Senate, but• the ballance of
the committee overruled him, and sup
pressed the facts.
Illy informant further states that it was
on this point that the quarrel between
Davis and Foote broke out afresh, which
resulted in the latter leavinc , Richmond

such horrid deeds were not committed.
