Have Geenral Cooper see Major Lee at once and get his parole. There is no time to be lost in this matter. Telegraph me immediately that it is done. Make every arrangement, and hurry him off at the earliest moment. The cars leave here for Danville every day at 12 o'clock. Keep me informed of your progress.

The U. S . Branch Mint at Charlotte was trasferred to the Confederacy by a State convention, to be occupied for the same purposes for which it was originally intended. The Secretary of the Teasury desired me to take charge of it during the temporary occupation of a portion of the building and grounds by the naval ordnance. The commandant, has just resigned it into my hands. I await your orders concerning the establishment. Answer.
