In replying to set of resolu-

inscription upon the monument as
erected to the memory of the sol

or to acknowledge the receipt of
your letter of the 2lst inst, trans

"These resolutions demand Of
me the immediate removal Of the
Inscription murdered by strik-
ers" placed on a monument erected
last winter in the national ceme-

had belonged to my regiment who
lost their lives in the execution of
their duty.
81 am a competent judge OF how
these soldiers met their deaths,
and the words murdered by strik-

judgment on that point.
"For that reason, | respectfully
decline to comply with the trea-
sonable demand of men who have
publicly put themselves outside of
the law and of the respect of hon

ing resolutions of sympathy with
public enemies and condoning the
crime of murder" The matter
has been referred to the secretary
of war.
