and being improper in language, de.
sire to apologize for the same, and to
withdraw it.
| JOHN T. MONROE, Mayor.
May 16. 1862
a fter this apology had been sent, the
Mayor, it seems, called at the General s
headquarters, for the purpose Of per
suading General B. to modify the order
in question. General Butler told him
uuequivocalIy that he had nothing to
modify; that he was not sorry for what
heEkad written; that he would not With
draw it if he could, and could not if he
would, but, at the request Ct the MayoSa
the General gave him perm ssiaE
publish the offensive letter and the apof-;
ogy, and to add that the order applied
only to, those women who had insulted
by word, look, or gesture the officers or
soldiers of the United States army.
The Mayor left, apparently satisfied;
but the next night he. again sent the
General letter, the counterpart of the
first. The following morning he was
again at headquarters, with several of
his friends, including Judge Kennedy,
John Mcclellan, Chief of Police, and
D. e. Duncan. The Mayor demand the
right to Withdraw his apology, aud Gen.
Butler granted it; but informed the
Mayor that he had played with the
United States authority long enough,
and now heshad got to go to Fort Jack
son. The other parties named above,
admitting their approval of the Mayors
conduct, were also sent to Fort jackson.
