I could I assured the prisoners of their safety, that they would have humane treatment wherever they might be. The writer then describes an interview with Col. Hanson, of Kentucky: When I got back to my command, I found one of our Lieutenants had Colonel Hanson, of the Kentucky 2d, in custody. He was a rough-looking cuColonel Hanson, of the Kentucky 2d, in custody. He was a rough-looking customer, dressed in citizen's dress, short, muscular, and bleary-eyed; he looked to me as a fit person to command a band of privates. He said he wanted somebody to tell him where to march his men, that he was tired waiting. He acted and talked like one having a "heap of authority," and not much like a prisoner. Finding no one to give him immediately the information he desired, he became sociable. This is followed by a partially fabricated narrative of a conversation with Col.

A gentleman from the same part of New York, now connected with the Georgia Hospital Association, in this city is cognizant of all the events in Dr. Hanson's late history; while the facts concerning his career in Augusta are vouched for by most respectable citizens of that place. This case is a fair illustration of the baseness of the foe with whom the South has to deal.

Very dangerous mistake, at least for me. Demanded unconditional surrender. Told Col. Hanson we had his reinforcement's cut off, and resistance was useless. He refused to surrender, and I than ordered him to order out the non combatants, as we would be compelled to shell the town. He posted his regiment in the depot and various housharge to be made. This ought to have been done at first; but Gen. Morgan said, when it was urged on him, that he wished to avoid the destruction of private property as much as possible, and he would only permit it as a last and final report. Col. Hanson still held out in hopes of receiving reinforcements, and only surrendered after we had fired the buildings in which he was posted. His force consisted of the 20th Kentucky, about 370 men, and twenty or twenty-five stragglers from other comman
