Captain: I am in receipt of yours of the fourteenth inst., expressing the reasonable regret of your Commanding General for the barbarities committed by the Indians at the recent battle of Pea Ridge. The fact of many bodies having been found scalped and mutilated was patent, and the General commanding the army wishes, for the sake of humanity, that the testimony was not incontestable.

m, Says our liberty-loving, thrice blest Uncle Sam! On your Western Gibraltars while placing reliance, With cotton-zone heroes and Beauregard's science, Our banner-defenders, amid battle's din, Marched up to your works, then bravely dashed in. Your rebels discuss, with such evident unction, Our only defeat at Manassas' famed Junction, Let me ask you one question, with a very low bow, You held it at that time, but who holds it now? Why, what were you doing, O fierce Texan Ranger! Who sleep on volcanoes and breakfast on danger, On the day when the chivalry, panic-struck, ran, Basely frightened away by our wee Iron mand Banks, “the little iron man.” Still hide in your forts, still skulk in your garrisons, Indulge in self-complacent, boasting comparisons, But this new mode of fighting by running away, Is a mode, in the long run, that's sure not to pay. Oh! there's this dit-of-bifference betwixt you and us, We'll lamm you and flax you for raising this muss! Boston, March 21, 1862
