Bv order of the Secretary of War: C. A. DANA. Headquarters Department of Kentucky, Louisville, Ky., May 6, 1865. Hon. E. M. Stanton, Secretary of War, Washington, D. C: Sir: A large number of rebel soldiers have returned to this depart- ment as paroled prisoners. Some came in as organized bodies, having surrendered, and were paroled here. The presence of these persons here as paroled prisoners is productive of much harm. So far as I am aware they have not been guilty of outrages involving the p...ublic peace, but are guilty of many acts of astonishing impudence. This could be borne, but disavowing as they do all allegiance to the Government, they seem to the people to be merely waiting for something favorable to their cause that they may resume their arms. They are centers around which the disloyal sentiment of the country organizes itself, and thus they check the returning sense of loyalty and keep alive the idea of future resistance. I beg to suggest that all these men be required to take the amnesty or some other oath which strips them of their charac- ter as admitted representatives of the rebel Government, and in case of refusal to take the oath prescribed they be required to leave the State.
