nonplussed by finding the Federal troops in such

OF Obtaining from you permit for Mr.. r. s. Nc

yesterday. NV solicitude In this matter Is an i'm
pulse OF private character. The rigid rules es-

GENERAL b. will recollect me while a resident In

vouch for me. General Bonham and in fact

the gratlnc alton Of performing a sacred duty,

Manassas junction. July %. 1861. {
II am instructed by General Beaurepard
commanding the First Corps, army Of the Po-
tomac, to say that he has received your note of
the 22d, and to reply thereto
The General declines giving an informal permit
t. any one residing beyond his advanced lines for
any purpose which may be accom- shed by those
formal proceedings known to, and practiced by
civilized belligerent nations. BY no act Of his
will he lower the dignity Of the Confederate
States as a nation by permitting that to be done
Indirectly which the usages of civilized warfare
accomplish directly.
The arbitrary and unusual course adopted In
such cases as you refer to by the United States
government, will be the guide Of the Generals
conduct In return. Any one, therefore, coming
within his lines without the proper flag will be
sent under an escort to the Confederate govern
ment for examination
The General deems proper for me to add that
humanity should teach an enemy to care for its
wounded and Christianity to bury Its dead.
