Washington, D. C., January 23, 1865.

Brig. Gen. H. E. PAINE, New York:

The Secretary of War directs that the suspension of General Beall’s parole be revoked and that he be permitted to resume his functions as formerly. It is presumed that the steamer Atlanta, with the cotton from Mobile, will reach New York within a day or two. The delay has been caused by the non-delivery of the cotton by the rebel authorities. General Wessells has been directed to parole General Vance as assistant to General Beall.

. H. W. HALLECK, Major-General and Chief of Staff.

NEw YORK, January 23, 1865. Brig. Gen. W. N. R. BEALL:

GENERAL: I have the honor to inform you that the temporary suspension of your parole is terminated, and you are at liberty to resume your functions under the arrangement between General Grant and Judge Ould.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

Brigadier-General of Volunteers.
