DEAR SR-The letters. of Gen. Benning and It. COL
Shepherd of the I'd Georgia regiment reference to the
mob in this City, received. They satisfactory
far their denial Of their participation is concerned
though cannot but think Gen b. is mistaken in suppo
sing that there umber of North Carolina troops
in the riot In my letter to the PresdenI said that
Benning remarked to Col Whford ransportat agent
here, hours previous to the mob that he should not
be surprised if did tear down the Standard of
ice he had heard it threatened and that during the
aence of violence sent for him and he could be
found and that my messenger sent for him, driven
away from the depot by the soldiers This raised susp-
in my mind that he might have cnnVed at the
duct of men, which heightened by the fact that he
offer apology regret verbally otherwise me-
for this great insult to the authority and laws of
eSn sitae which thought and still think he mi ght and
should have DONE
As to It. Col Shepherd (whom the men 10 the darkness
called Major) suppose must have fallen into q very
great mistake cDncerung him II he is the officer upon
scene violence then him great many thanks for
his staucsinSe of accusation Of gui It,. Somehow
got it into my head that the officer who assisted
1t Col Harris, and up arriving at the &IaddFd Office
hear soldiers calling for Major Shepherd" but did not
know 1t the officer with This mistake very
natural owing to the confusion and darkqess and
regret that did 1t Col Shepherd injustice His was the
his name. There several company officers in the
crowd, as Judged by then swords aud by hearing
call out frequently Captain" Lieutenant" &c.
This you will the substance of my complaint to
the President wished punishment inflicted upon the
private soldiers but if they really led or encour-
aged by officers it wou be highly proper and polite that
Mey should be punished.
Very respectfuIySyOur Ob's segv'ts,
