Atlanta his subsistence is lost, and that he has not a ration to issue to his men. For to-morrow I am necessarily compelled to issue half rations until the men are paroled and leave, which they will do immediately. I hope to get rid of most of the enlisted men to-morrow, having sent down rolls, & c., two days ago. Large numbers of Wofford's men desire to work upon the railroad. What prospects of any employment can I give them?

Brigadier General H. M. JUDAH,

Calhoun, Ga.:

You are authorized to issue rations to General Wofford's command during the time you are necessarily engaged in receiving the surrender and paroling the troops. Say to General Wofford that I will station a force in North Georgia to assist the people in organizing their civil authority, and have sent him, by Colonel Woodall, department General Orders, Nos. 17, 21, and 27, for his information, and to be distributed for the information of the people. You can give Brigadier General B. J. Hill the same terms granted to General Wofford.
