y ear Rlcnmpn0, Aug. "a, 1907.
To the General Commanding the Army of the United
Stdtes Washington:
General-On the 29lh of June last | was instructed
by the Secretary of War to inquire of MajorGeneral
Mcclellan to the truth of alleged murders committed
citizens by officers of the .. States army. The
cases OF VIM. B. MumtOrd, reported to have been
dered at New Orleans, by order of Major General B.
+. Rutler, and Colonel John Owen reported to have
been murdered in Missouri by order of Major General
Pope those referred to- had the honor to be in
formed by Major-Gen Mcclellan that he had refer
red these inquiries to his Government for reply. No
answer has as yet been received.
The President of the Confederate States has since
been credhy informed that numerous other officers of
the army OF the United States within the CoDfederacy
have been guilty Of felones ard capital oences which
are punishable by all laws, humane and divine. I am
dir cted by him to bring to your notice few of those
best authenticated. Newspapers received from the
United States announce fact that Major General
Hunter has armed slaves for the murder Cf their
ters and has thus done all in bis power to naugurate
servie war; which is than that of the savage, n.
asmuch as s1percdes other horrors to the ndiscrim
nate sau5 5hter of al ages, sexes and conditions.
BigadierG General helps reported to have initiated
10 New Orleans the example set by Maor-Genera
Hunter on the coast of South Carolina. Brigadier-
General G. n Fitch is stated in the journals to
have murdered in cold blood two peaceful citizens, be
cause one of bis men, while invading country was
killed by some unknown person while defending his
home
l am instructed by the President of the Confederate
States to repaat the inquiry relative to the
Mumford and Owens and to ask whether the statements
u relation to the action of Generals Hunter, Phelps
end Fitch admitted to be true and whether the
duet of these Generals is sanctioned by their Govern
ment
| am further directed BY his Excelency, the Presi
dent to give notice that in the event of receiving
reply these inquiries within fifteen days from The de-
livery of this letter. it will be assumed that the aegee
facts true and sanctioned by the Governrcut o
the United States. In such event. on that Governmen
viii rest The responsibility of the retrb bution retaa
tory measures shall be adopted to put end TO tb
mercess atrocities which now characterize the wa
against the Confederate States.

To Major General G. B. Mcclellan,
Commanding Army of the Potomac:
GENERAL-It has come to my knowledge that many
OF our cltlz9ns engaged in peaceful avocatioDs have
been arrested and imprisoned because they refuse to
take the oath of allegiance to the United States, while
Others by hard and harsh treatment, have been CON-
PEELED to take oath not to bear against that
Government
baTe learned that about one hundred of the latter
class have recently been released from Fortress Monroe.
This Government refuses to admit the right OF the
thortes OF the United States to arrest citizens and
extor from them their parole not to render military
service to their country under the penalty of ncurrng
Eunishment in case they fall into the hands Of your
forces. am directed by the Secretary of War to in
form you that such oaths will not be regarded as obi
gaOry, and persons who take them will be reqnired to
render military service Should your Government treat
the reLdtion of such service by these persons as
breach of parole and punish it accordingly this Gov
enment will resort to reaiatory the only
OF compelling the observance of the rules of civ
