Headquarters UNITED STATES Forces,
! CAPE GIRARDEAU, August 10, 1861. T
SIR: Your relatives have written you the above
not. 1t Is true. If you in pjure the people of Com.
niece or their property, will hang them and take
bitter revenge on you in other respects.
Colonel Commanding United States Forces
| Cape Girardeau.
The gentlemen held by Colonel Marsh are, as
am credibly informed, citizens of this State, and
uncnnected in any way with military operations.
| Evn were they connected in manner Justify
ing their being made prisoners Of war. the articles
of var and army regulations of the United States
| require humane treatme mt of prisoners
| Ialso learn that the detachment OF Col. Marsh's
| troips which captured Mr. VIM. NJ Price, wanton-
| ly burned his fathers warehouse, ard took away a
| large quantity OF corn and sixty mules. Similar
outiages believed to have beeL verv lately COM
mited at the farm of-General n. W. Watkins near
Gaze Girardeau, and also by Colonel Marsh's
| trdps.
| therefore, in the interest of humanity, Law
| thtse matters before you, and request frank
] fAVsar IN has 1rrp rinEN.
! Does the conduct of Col. Marsh and his troops
met your approval?
IF not, what steps 90 you propose to take in re-
sct to the guilty parties, and in order to prevent
| tn repetition of such conduct?
1t is the desire of the Missouri State authorities to
cnduct the present war according to civilized usa
| gs, and any departure from them By Missouri for
ct will be promptly punished by their officers, if
arare of it.
| deem it proper to add that on seeing Colonel
hhrsh's letter, immediately instructed the Gener
al commanding the Missouri State Guard in this
district to hold in close custody a number of pris
oiers recently taken by him belonging to your
fGce. Should Col. Marsh's further treatment OF
Mssrs. Curd and Price necessitate the hanging OF
aiy of these prisoners, in retaliation, content
tlat impartial men shall Judge who is morally res
ponsbe for their melancholy fate.

There has been much speculation to-day Occa
