GEnsRAL-1t is officially reported
to me that our foraging parties are
murdered after capture and labelled.
Death to all foragers."-one in
stance of = lieutenant and seven men
Chesterville, and smother of 20 near
. ravine, eighty rods from the main
road, about three miles from Feaster-
ville.-1 have = number Of prisoners
in our hands to be disposed of in like

ers captured in various ways, and
can stand it As long as you, but /
hardly think these murders are com
mitted with your knowledge, and
would suggest that you give notice
to the people at large that every life
taken by them simply results in the
death of one Of your confederates.-
You cannot question my right
to forage in the country. 1t is war
right a. old as history. The manner
of exercising it varies with circum-
stances, and if the civil authorities
VIII supply my reqnlSltIons l VIII
forbid all foraging, but find no civ
il authorities who can respond to
calls for forage or provisions, and
therefore must collect direct from the
people. I have no doubt this is the
occasion Of much misbehavior on the
part of our men, but I cannot permit
an enemy to judge or punish with
wholesale murder. Personally re-
greet the bitter feelings cngendered
BY this war, but they were to be ex-
pectsd, and simply allege that those
who struck the first blow and made
war inevitable ought not in fairness
to reproach us for the natural conse-
quences. l merely asserted our war
right to forage, and my resolve to
protect my toragcrs to the extent Of
life for life.

The Yankee papers have general
ly refrained from publishing General
Hampton's admirable reply. The
only copy we can find is on tn"
French side of the n. o. Bee, which
We translate as follows. We fear
much of the force of the original is
lost by its transition through two
TRANSACTIONS. Congress passed a vote
Of thanks to the General for his let
ter, and expressed the opinion that
his views should be adopted as the
policy of the Government.-Edi

Major General w. L. Sherman,
Z. S. A: General-Your communi-
cation of the oath inst, has been re-
ceived to day. In it you say that
you have been officially informed
that your foragers have been assassi-
mated after being captured, and you
add that you have ordered an equiv
alent number Of prisoners in ysur
hands to be treated in the same way;
that is to say, you have ordered a
certain number of Confederate col
diers to be assassinated. You char
acterize your order by terms that are
appropriate to it; for the public voice
even in your own country, where it
dare seldom raise itself to recognise
truth, honor and justice, will agree
with me in declaring yo1 guilty Of
murder if your order shall be execu-
ted. Before discussing this part Of
your letter. will assure you that 70,
