HUNTSVILLE. (Received April 17, 1865.)

Brigadier-General WHIPPLE,

Assistant Adjutant-General:

The feeling of the people here at the assassination of President Lincoln is intense beyond description. Union men who before were in favor of dealing with leniency toward these who sympathized with the South, and would not take the oath of allegiance, now request that all who will not take the oath should leave our lines. It appears to me in present prostrated condition of Southern Confederacy no one at least within out lines should be permitted to regard it as an established government and be required to give their full support to the Government of the United States. If the general commanding department desires it, I will publish an order requiring every one to take the oath of allegiance or to move without our lines.

R. S. GRANGER,

Brigadier-General.
