A proper Retaliation.
--The subjoined letter from Gen. Hindman (a vague report of whose capture is confirmed in the Northern papers) to Gen. Curtis, the Federal commander in Arkansas, is written in the proper spirit.
It is dated Little Rock, June 8:
General: I have received information that you have in prison at Batesville certain citizens of Izani county, Arkansas, captured a few days since by a attachment of your cavalry, who are charged with firing upon your men, while attempting our declaration, however, you can consider this as an acceptance of the issue tendered, and we will ignore all recognized rules of civilized warfare, and make our campaign one of savage cruelty and unsparing butchery.
Hoping, General, that there is some mistake in this matter, and that the rules of civilized warfare will continue to influence us both in conducting the campaign in which we find ourselves engaged.
I have the honor to be your
T. C. Hindman,
Major-General C. S. A.
