HILTON rHEAn &. U, June Ia IVA. >
Major. General Sam Jones Commanding Com
federate Forces Department OF South Caro-
lina, Georgia and Florida
I have to acknowledge the receipt this day Of
your communication Of the 18th inst informing
me that hve Generals and fofty-ive Field Officers
Of the United States Army, prisoners Of war;
have been sent 70 Charleston for safe keeping;
that they have been turned over by you to Brig
Cen Ripley, with instructions TO see that they
are provided with quarters in part OF the city
occupied by non-combatants, the majority OF
which latter, y0u state, are women and children.
You add that you deem II proper to inform me
that h Q part Of the city which has been Tor
ans s f. i0e ss Of pS Gin
mores q. 8, A., notified General Beanregard,
then commanding at Charleston, that the city
would be bombarded. This notice was gwen
that the non combatant population Of Charles
ton might be removed, and thus women and
children spared from harm. General Beaure-
dated August %, 1862 informed him that the
non-combasant population Of Charleston would
be removed with all possible celerity. That
women and children have been since retained by
Won In . part Of the city which has been for
many months exposed to fire, is matter decided
BY your own sense Of Humanity.
I must however. protest against your action
In Thus placing defenceless1r 1rfsoners OF war In
nosition exposed to constait bombardment It
Il an indeleDsible act Of cruelty, and can be
designed only to prevent the continuance OF our
fire fpon Charleston That city Is depot for
military supplies II contains, not merely ar
senals Int ioundries and factories for the manu-
fscfure or munitions Of war. In its ship-yards
several armed iron-clads have already been com:
nieted While Others are still upon the stocks IN
seonyse Of construction. Its wharves, and the
hanks Of the river on both sides OF the city, are
lined with batteries To destroy these means OF
continuing the war is therefore our object and
duty. Yo.i seek to defeat this effort not by
means known to honorable warfare, but by
placing unarned and defenceless prisoners un-
der our fire. Al,
have forwarded your communication TO tne
President with the request thai he viii place IN
INV custody an equal number of prisoners oil the
IKE grades to be kept by me IN positions ex-
posed to the FIRE Of your guns 80 long as you
eontinue the course stated in your communica-
ton
Very Respectfully,

Yesterday a salute Of 100 shotted guns was
fired from the batteries along our lines in front

The rebs came ont OF their holes to see what
was the matter and evidently good deal puz-
zled to account for the firing. They evidently
hadn't heard the news from Tennessee.
Some Of our boys called out to them that
"Hood hao been whipped clean out of his
boots" and then they began to appreciate
"what's the matter"
