In this connection, also, | may call

with Capt. Stanley to my camp near

to either army other than to enable your

Still another instance that may be
mentioned where this privilege has been

the battle of the 9Th inst, to Cane Hili'

In answer to your second reference to
the matter of Gen. Herron's men remov-

The number of your dead was so great,

quite an arduous one, hence the delay.

Lee. IL, IOV6. >
The General Commanding takes this
occasion to express his heartfelt thanks
to the officers and soldiers Of his COM
mand for their gallantry at the battle OF
Prairie Grove, on Sunday, the 9TH inst,
which crowned the Army of the From
tier with complete success and a bril-
liant victory. When it is cdpsidered
that the enemy we engaged outnumbered
us as three to one; that they were IN
spired by the confidence Of success and
stimulated by the most urgent appeals
to their passions and prejudices; that
they possessed the advantage of being
in their own country and familiar with
every road, hill, and mountain pass;
that they possessed every advantage IN
position, which was of their own choos-
ing, you have every reason to be proud
of having participated upon that bloody
field.
No battle during the present war has
been more determined and bloody, and
never was there field upon which, con-
.;dering the number of troops engaged
and the time occupied, the slaughter was
as great.
The results of your victory cannot be
overestimated. The stake was an impor-
tant one. With your defeat western Ar
kansas, Missouri, Kansas, and the In
dian country would have been the prey
of the rebel army. Your victory has
virtually ended the war north OF the
Arkansas River. For these results you
are entitled to the plaudits of a grateful
country.
To the Second and Third Divisions
for the promptness with which they re-
sponded to my request to reinforce me,
and the unparalleled marching done by
them to reach me before support would
be too late, as we'll as for the gallantry
displayed by them upon the field upon
that memorable day, the highest praise
is justly due.
Although we have cause to rejoice
over our victory, yet We cannot but feel
saddened at the loss of our brave com.
rades who have fallen by our side, and
to condole with those to whose homes
grief has been brought by the loss IL
battle of those friends that were dear.
| But while we drop the tear of sympa
thy over their graves, we cannot forge
that their death was noble sacrifice t.
sustain their country's flag, and that the.
died such death as every true soldie
and patriot would choose to die.
Your noble conduct upon the field o
Prairie Grove, as also upon other oecas
ions. gives evidence of your invincibility
and assures me that whatever emergenc..
may arise you will be equal to the task

This may have been considered as
strategy, or perhaps that other thing,
ch;valrv. If the latter, it is not OF the
kind have so often heard discussed as
being the boastof the South, or else it must
have become of late wofully deterlorated.
Whatever method you may adopt, L do
not propose to avail myself of flag of

the enemy's position, Notwithstanding
that am in an anenemy's country and labor
under every disadvantage in obtaining

1t shall never be said of me when this

of the prescribed rules of civilized war
fare. avail myself of this occasion to
inform YOU that after We had agreed to
consider sick and wounded soldiers, as
we'll as those connected with the Hospital
Department, as not being prisoners OF
war, when a portion of your command
reiterated through Cane Hill, on the night
of the 9TH inst, they not only paroled
nv sick left there, but robbed them of
their clothes and hospital supplies.
must call your attention to the fact
that several of my men were brutally
murdered by your command after they
fell wounded upon the field, which one
of your officers vouches for. Such con-
duct contrasts very unfavorably with the
kind treatment that has been extended
by INV command to your wounded whom
you were compelled to leave upon the
battlefield.

fully, your obedient servant,

P.S-If you claim the field of Prairie

main there, and will you be so kind as
to grant the privilege of staying there te

samped upon the battlefield?
