He has been made to suffer by an unauthorized retaliation for innumerable outrages which have been committed on our people, if not by authority of his Government, at least in its immediate presence, and which have given rise to the bitter feelings he so much deprecates. In conclusion, say to the General that I trust the humane example which has been set by the Government of the United States in its care for the welfare of prisoners of war may be followed by the Government at Richmond — a course which cannot fall to greatly mitigate the hardship which must unavoidably be experienced by all who are so unfortunate as to be captured.
