The document sets forth— That the officers of the UOth Regt. N.Y.S.V. “this day (20th Feb.”) tendered their resignations in eonsequenee of their inability to conscientiously I carry out au order which virtually Swages war I against unoffending women and children and I known Union citizens of this Key—imitating as ] It does that kind of warfare that has cast on our I enemies tlie stigma of all civilized nations. While I regretting to be obliged to take this extreme mea- \ | sure, they throw themselves and their actions I open for the consideration of their friends at 1 home, knowing that they will not entertain for I one moment a doubt of their patriotism or their I loyalty to this Government.”I The following names are appended to this do.I eument:I Captain A.
