President Davis' Latter.
Tho following letter is published this
morning from tho President to General
Lee: -v*
. Richmond, July 31,1862.
Sir—On the 22d of this month the
Cartel for a general exchange of priso
ners was signed between Major General
D. II. Hill on the part of the Confede
rate States, and Major General John A.
Dix in behalf tho United States. That
Cartel stipulated that all prisoners of
war hereafter taken shall bo discharged
on parole till exchanged.
Scarcely had that Cartel been signed
when tho military authorities of the
United States commenced a practice
changing the oharacter of the war,
from such as becomes civilized nations,
into a campaign of indiscriminate rob
bery and muraer. The general order
issued by tho Secretary of War of the
United States, in tho City of Washing
ton, on tho very day that the Cartel was
signed in Virginia, "direots the military
commanders of tho United States to
take tho private property of our people
for convenience, and use the same
without any compensation.
. The general order issued by Major
Gen. Pope, on the 23d of July, tho day
after tho signing of tho Cartel 'in Virg
inia, directs the murder of peaceful
inhabitants as spies, if found guilty of
tilling the farms in his rear, oven out
side of his lines; and one .of his Briga-
dior Generals, Stoinwehr, has seized
upon innocent and peaceful inhabitants
to be held ns hostages, to ' tho end that
they may be murdered in cold blood, if
any of his soldiers are killed, by some
unknown persons, whom ho designates
as “bushwhackers.”
Under this stnto offsets, this Govern
ment has issued the enclosed general
order, recognizing Gen. Pepe and his
commissioned officers to be in the posi
tion which they have chosen for thorn
selves—that of robbers nnd of murde
rers, and not thet of publio enemies,
entitled, if captured, te bo consigned os
prisoners of war. We find ourselves
driven l>y our enemits by steady prog
ress, towards a practice which wo abher
and which we are vainly striving to
avoid. Some of tho military authori
ties of the United Elates seem to sup
pose that better success will attend a
savage war, in whion no quarter is to be
given, and no ages or sex to bo spared,
than has hitherto been secured by such
hostilities as aro recognized to be lawful
by civilized men in modern times. For
the present we announce our right of
retaliation for Die innocent, nnd aha 1
continue to treat private enlisted so.
diers of Gen. Pope’s army as prisoners
of war; but after notice to the Govern
ment has been eivon at Washington of
our confining ’repressive mOasufrs to
punishment only of commisssioned offi
cers, who wore willing to participate in
these crimes and savage practices which
are continued, wo shall reluctantly be
farced to the last resort of acoepting
the war on the. terms ohosen by our
foes, until * outrages of a common hu
manity forco a respect for recognized
rules of war.
Whilo theso facts would justify our
resolution to the generous Cartel by
which we ha Jo consented to liberate
an excess of .thousands of prisoners
held bv us, beyond the number held
by the'enemy, a sacred, regard to plight
ed faith, shrinking from the mere sem
blance of breaking n promise, provents
.our resort to thus extremity; nor do wo
desire to extend to any other forces of
the enemy the punishment merited
alone by Gen. Pope nnd such commis
sioned officers as choose to participate
in the execution of bis infamous orders.
You are therefore instructed to commu
nicate to the commandor-in chief of
tho armies of tho United States, tho
contents of this letter, and a copy of
the inclosed general order, to the end
that he may be notified of our inten
tions not to consider any officers here
after captured from Gen. Pope’s army,
as prisoners of war. *
Very respectfully, yours,. &c.,
