Heckman, Brigadier-General Volunteers, (Signed) Alexander Shaler, Brigadier-General U. S. Volunteers, Prisoners of War. To Major-General J. G. Foster, Commanding Department of the South, Hilton Head, S. C. Charleston, S. C., July 1, 1864. Brigadier-General L. Thomas, Adjutant-General United States Army, Washington, D. C.: General — We desire respectfully to represent through you to our authorities, our firm belief that a prompt exchange of the prisoners of war in the hands of the Southern Confederacy, if exchanges are to be made, is called for by every consideration of humanity. There are many thousands confined at Southern points of the Confederacy, in a climate to which they are unaccustomed, deprived of much of the food, clothing and shelter they have habitually received, and it is not surprisin

The General replied that the military situation made it impossible to answer. General Lee's letter to me, relative to the improved condition of the Commissary Department, is probably among the Confederate archives at Washington city. I am, General, respectfully and truly, (Signed) John C. Breckinridge. General I. M. St. John, Louisville, Kentucky. Richmond, Va., September, 1865. General: At your request, I have the honor to make the following statement, from the best data I could obtain: On the 1st of April, 1865, the Subsistence Bureau of the Confederate States, had available for the army of Northern Virginia: At Richmond, 300,000 rations bread and meat; at Danville, 500,000 rations bread; at Danvil

where he was defeated and forced to a hazardous and disorganizing retreat through the mountains to the Ohio river. Having at a single blow liberated the Valley, Early determined upon an immediate invasion of Maryland and a bold advance on Washington City. As his instructions were discretionary, he was at liberty to adopt that course, which at the time was both in a political and military point of view the best plan of action that could have been assumed. The defence of Richmond being theallace, with about ten thousand men, in position to oppose the passage of the Monocacy. Immediate preparations were made to dislodge Wallace and effect a crossing of that stream. Rodes was thrown forward on the Baltimore and Ramseur on the Washington City road, while Gordon and Breckinridge, with a portion of Ransom's cavalry inclining to the right, moved to the fords a mile or two below the railroad bridge. At the same time the heights contiguous to the river were crowned by Long's artiller

April 20th to 23d (Sunday)--A large mail was delivered to-day (23d). I received a letter from my beloved sister, Mrs. M. C. H., dated La Grange, Georgia, February 6th, and postmarked Old Point Comfort, Virginia, March 31st, and Point Lookout, Maryland, April 11th. It had been sent from the latter place to Old Capitol, Washington, D. C., and thence to Fort Delaware. It told me of the reception of one of my letters by brother James, the latest and only one since October 27th, and pained and saddened me by news of my dearest of mothers having had her arm broken in December. She was reported nearly well though. No particulars were given, as all flag of truce letters are limited to one page. Brothers John and Lemuel are in service at Andersonville prison. The former is major of the First Georgia, and the latter is a
