GENERAL: Your entumunication of date the 13lh instant, stating the steps you had taken, after reading tho President's pro? clamation of the 29th ultimo, with the view of complying with its provisions, when you learned that, with others, you wero to be indicted for treason by the grand jury of Norfolk; that yon bad supposed that the officers and men of tho army of Northern Virginia were, hy tho terms of their sur? render, protected by the United States Go? vernment from molestation, so long as they conformed to its conditions; that you were ready to meet any charges tkat might bo preferred against you, and did not wish to avoid trial, but that il you were correct as to tho protection.granted by your parole, and were not to be prosecuted, you desired to avail yourself of the President'? amnesty and proclamation, and enclosing au appli? cation therefor, with the request that, in that event, it be acted on, bas been received and forwarded' to thc Secretary of War, with the following opiuion endorsed there? on : 'Tn my opinion, the officers and men pa? roled at Appomattox. Court House and since upon the same ternis given to Leo, cannot be tried for treason, so long as they observe the terms of tiieir parole. This is my understanding. Good faith, as well as true policy, dictates that we should observe the condition of that convention. Bad faith on the part of the Government, or a construction of that convention subjecting the officers to trial for treason, would pro? duce a feeiiug of insecurity in the minds of all thc officers and men. If so disposed, they might even regard, such an infraction of terms by the Government as an entire release fruin all obligations on their part. I will siatp further, that the terms granted by me met with the hearty approval of the President, at thc time, and of the country generally. The action of Judge Under? wood, in Norfolk, has already had an inju? rious effect, and I would a.s'lt that be be ordered to quash all indictments found I against paroled prisoners of war, and to desist from the further prosecution of them.

E. Lee for amnesty and paislon may be granted him.
