BALTIMORE, April 11, 1863.

Honorable E. M. STANTON, Secretary of War:

I have permitted Mrs. Emman Moore, a secesh kinswoman, of mine from Philadelphia, to go South via Fort Monroe on her parole not to attempt to come within the Union lines during the rebellion, her baggage and person also being strictly searched. Will you give an order to Lieutenant-Colonel Ludlow to let her pass by the flag-of-truce boat? Part of Mrs. Moore's trunks containing contraband goods were seized and held in Philadelphia.

ROBERT C. SCHENCK,

Major-General, Commanding.

Brigadier General J. H. MARTINDALE,

Commanding Military District of Washington, Washington, D. C.

GENERAL: By direction of the General-in-Chief all the enlisted prisoners of war in the Old Capitol will be forwarded with as little delay as practicable to City Point there to be paroled or exchanged.

Please direct duplicate rolls to be sent with them and one to this office. On their reaching Fort Monroe direct the officer in charge to report to Colonel Ludlow, agent for exchange of prisoners, for further orders.

It is desirable that these prisoners should be delivered without delay, and I would therefore suggest that they be sent via Baltimore unless a steamer can be obtained here more readily.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

W. HOFFMAN,

Colonel Third Infantry, Commissary-General of Prisoners.
