. Only one of the letters produced in this communication has been heretofore published, to-wit: that of January 24th, 1864. For a long time previous to November, 1863, food and clothing had been sent by flag of truce boats from the North to City Point, then the headquarters of exchange, and there received and delivered over to the parties to whom they were consigned. Sometimes such food and clothing were directed to individual parties, and sometimes to Federal prisoners generally, or to Fedners at Richmond and elsewhere, has been the subject of so much misconstruction and misrepresentation, and has been made the occasion of so much vilification and abuse, I am directed to inform you that no more will be allowed to be delivered at City Point. The clothing and provisions already received will be devoted to the use of your prisoners. When that supply is exhausted, they will receive the same rations as our soldiers in the field. Respectfully, &c., Ro. Ould, Agent of Exchange.

This is a matter of such grave importance, that I sincerely trust an early and favorable response will be made. Respectfully, your obedient servant, Ro. Ould, Agent of Exchange. A copy of this letter was sent on the 7th October to Secretary Stanton.

Captain Irving and the steamer Convoy --supplies for prisoners. By Judge Robert Ould. [We are very much indebted to Judge Ould for the following interesting and conclusive paper, in which he not only explodes the statement about the Steamer Convter quoting from the Michigan Post and Tribune a statement that, in November, 1863, the United States Government sent Captain Irving up the James with the steamer Convoy, laden with clothing and provisions for the Union soldiers at Libby and Bell Isl In reply, I say that, according to the best of my recollection and belief, this is the first time I ever heard of Captain Irving or the steamer Convoy. It is true that many years have elapsed since the alleged occurrence, but yet, if it ever haphing about it. Upon reference to my correspondence with the Federal authorities during the war, I find no allusion to Captain Irving or the Convoy, but I do find enough to satisfy any reasonable mind that any such statement, as of the date given, is

Will your Government not agree to the same? I will thank you for an early reply. Respectfully, your obedient servant, Ro. Ould, Agent of Exchange. Under the plan thus adopted Government supplies were consigned to officers of the respective parties, those representing the Confederate authorities at the North being Generals Trimble and Beale, and those representing the Federal authorities at the South being General Hays and Colonel Wild. All these officers were granted paroles to enable them more efficiently to discharge their duties. The goods sent were invoiced in duplicate, and one of the invoices signed by the proper officer and returned to his Government. In this way it was conclusively shown that the goods sent were received. The reports made from time to time by the receiving officers, showed how and wh

the Confederate proposal of January 24th, 1864, was before the Federal authorities, and its acceptance continuously urged. As the last agreement concerning supplies related only to such as were sent by the respective governments, in the interest of humanity I sought to extend the agreement to supplies contributed by individuals, and accordingly on the 25th November, 1864, I addressed the following letter to the Federal Agent of Exchange. Richmond, Va., November 25th, 1864. Lieutenant-Colonel Jno. E. Mulford, Assistant Agent of Exchange: Sir,--Since the recent agreement allowing supplies to be sent by the respective governments, it seems to me that it would be proper that and restrictions heretofore existing on either side, relating to contributions to prisoners, should be removed. If I am correctly informed, person at the North, unless they were near relations of sick prisoners, have not been allowed since the 10th of August last, to send supplies to Confederate officers and m

M. Stanton, Secretary of War, and Lieutenant-Colonel Mulford, Assistant Commissioner of Exchange of United States. I understand your letter to be an acceptance of the general proposition submitted by Judge Ould f both parties, and shall transmit it to him that arrangements may be made for carrying it into effect. The necessary details will be submitted to you through Colonel Mulford for agreement. In order to simplify the matter and to remove, so far as possible, causes of complaint, I suggest that the articles sent by either party shoul
