One, visited Butler under a flag of truce and told him if he executed that Southern man, nine Yankees, whom he had in custody, should be swung up to the nearest tree. Butler concluded to send Red bill to Fort Jackson, and told the avengeful red man to go back where he came from, to which he replied he would return when he got ready.
