Of Him.
Editor OF The Times Dispatcti:
sir.--Let us have the tr,tf, ana the
Wno .! truth My former communication
70 The Times Dispatch. treating Of tho
llalilgren raid. was brought to 4 sudden
ana ana abrupt conclust VII, rs I was appre-
ncnsive TINT 1t might become too long
for tho crowded condition OF your, col
imt1s. md for that reason, II for no
other would most likely Join the pro-
ccssion of many OF Its predecessors in
their melancholy march to tho wnstc
basket. Let me, II you please 4 add {, few
words IN con it,t,ation OF the narrative.
s General Kilpatrick has acknowledged
IN published report that tho address
prepared by Dnhlgren to be read to his
command for their guidance vas shown
to him Mt his headquarters one hour
before they separated to start on their
respective expeditions. and that 1t was
approved by him II, writing over his own
SIGNATURE. but denies that tho dlabolical
words which have been often quoted,
namely: When the prisoners arc lber-
ntcd from Belle Isle and Libby prison,
they must be exhortcd to burn and de-
stroy tho hateful city ana XIII the traitor
Davis md his Cabinet" wcrc at that time
lits pTeSeIILeu4L 10 ulII1.
Many persons saw and read TINT paper
after 1t had been taken from the dead
q body OF Dnhlgren. and all unite in de-
Sclaring that those words could not hive
been interpolated or interlined or added
without leaving traces OF tho alteration
and mutilation. and that no such traces
were found. Thieves and muriercrs will
not hesitate to commit The smaller sin
of lying.
In another paper the soldiers OF his
command were ordered to destroy every
thing on their limo Of march which they
could not appropriate to their own use
mills and barns and granaries-and to
shoot horses and cattle and other domes-
tic animals. and even the growing crops.
We read Of Genghis Kahn and his four
hundred horsemen that 1t was their fcro-
cious practice to leave nothing in their
rear--neither men, women or children,
nor any living thing. We have seen with
our eyes almost equally atrocions prac-
tices in our own country, and in the
century.
Some things very much OF the same
order occurred In 1862, when the brag-
CART Pope issued his Infamous order that
when one of his army was slain by guer-
illas. as he falsely called our men. all
the dwellings in the vicinity should be
destroyed and the inmates driven out to
perish of hunger and exposure. No word
of disapprova came from the authorities
at Washington until General Lee pub
lished his order of retaliation, when.
presto. change! nothing more was heard
OF the threatened atrocities, and the In
famous order and the infamous Pope soon
disappeared in inocuous desuetude.
They were willing to participate In the
benefits of the crime. but unwilling to
share the odium of its failure.
