The Herald prints letter from
Sherman to Wade Hampton, stating
that in consequence of foraging par
ties having been murdered by rebels,
after being captured, and labels at
tached to their bodies of death to all
foragers, that he has ordered sim
liar number of prisoners in our hands
to be dispatched in like manner; that
he holds one thousand rebel prisoners
and can stand it as long as Hampton
can The rebel General responds
that he knows nothing of such muir
ders and that for every soldier exc
cuted by Sherman, he will execute
two federals, picking out officers as
the first vic inns. He makes long
story about barbarities allowed to be
practiced by Sherman's army, and
concludes by stating that he shall
hold ffty-six prisoners as hostage for
those ordered to be executed by Sher
man.
