ATLANTA, GA, Dec. 18, '65.
GovERSoR:-I take the liberty Of
writing you a short letter in regart to
the remains of seven soldiers from the
State OF Ohio, who were hung at this
place. They belong TO the party that
was sent out by General o. NJ. Mitch
ell-the same party that captured the
engine at big Shanty," aud endeav-
ored to run through to our lines, and
were captured near Chattanooga, and
afterward hung at this place. They
are only about eighteen inches under
ground.
If the people of Ohio knew as much
about their execution as I have learn.
ed since | have been here, they would
certainly send for their remains, and
take them home and bury them at the
State Capital, and erect an appropri-
ate monument over their remains.
have in my possession small
piece of the post ON which the beam
lay from which they were hung. 1
have forgotten the date of their exe-
cution, but can find out without much
trouble.
l think that Ohio should remove
them from this place, where their
graves are sneered at by every pass
Ing rebel, with such remarks-"I saw
those fellows start for hell" II saw
their necks stretched" and other epi-
lhets of like character.
1fOhio knew what they had to en-.
dure for long time previous to their
execution-say nothing at the awful
day upon which they were hanged
tho heroism displayed on that occasion,
by most of them-she would certainly
honor them enough to remove their
remains from Atlanta to Ohio. 9ae4

hanged, are-William Campbell, George
