Congress, Mr. Randolph and Mr.. Floyd, in ex-
tenuation of General Jackson's execution OF the SIX
miiitiarnen at Mobile, stated that mllltlamen had
been shot at Norfolk Mr.. RaDdolph's observation
was that they had been shot .lke SO many builocKs
He was, however, subsequently better informed and
made the correction. Mr.. Floyd also dlsco' ered
that he had been misinormed and explained AFTER
wards, that if the shot .'were not milit'ahen>
they were men, he believed, however, that "one-
was militiaman and one not. General Robert b.
Taylor, who commanded at Norfolk during the war,
has publsheda statement, accompanied by the state
ments of his officers by which it is clearly proved,
that no mtamen and but one regular soldier, was
executed at Norfolk Thus all attempts to prove
mltiamen were shot during the war, IN any part
of the country except under General jackson com
mand, have proved abortive. baA. fo'
