SIR: Probably no expedition during the
progress of this war has been attended with
more utter disregard for the long established
usages of civilization or the dictates OF hu
manitv, than was your late raid into the
country bordering the Albemarle. Ieur
STAY, though short, was marked by crimes
and enormities, You burned houses over
the heads of defenseless women and child
ren, carried off private property of every
description, arrested mon combatants, and
carried of, ladies in irons, whom you con
! fined with negro men. Your negro troops
| fired on Gonfedcrates after they had sur
rendered, and they were only saved by the
exerti0hs of the more humane cf your
white officers Last, but not least, under
the pretpXt that he Was guerrilla, you
hanged Daniel Bright, a private of Compa'
ny l.. sixty second Georgia regiment, (cav-
airy) forcing the ladies and gentlemen
whom you held In arrest to witness the ex-
ecution. Therefore | have obtained an or
der from the General commanding for the
execution of Samuel Jones, private OF Co
