Lieutenant General Commanding Forces IN
East Tennessee:
SIR: l have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your letter dated January
5. 1864. You are correct in the SUPPOSE
ton that the great object in view in the
circulation of the Presidents proclama-
ton, is to induce those now in rebellion
against the Government to lay aside their
arms and return to their allegiance as
citizens of the United S iates, thus secu-
ring the re- union of States now arrsyed
in hostility against one another and res
toration of peace. The immediate effect
of the circulation may be TO cause many
men to leave your ranks, to return home,
or come within our lines, and, in view of
this latter course, it has been thought
proper to issue an order announcing the
favorable terms on which deserters will
be received.
I accept, however, your suggestion that
il would have been more courteous TO
have sent these documents to you for
circulation, and { embrace with pleasure
the opportunity thus afforded TO inclose
to you twenty copies of each of these
documents, and rely upon your gene
rosity and desire for peace, to give pub
Iicity TO tho same among your officers
and men. have the honor TO be, General,

Mr.. Peasants came to this city about

reputation for punctuality and integrity

in both respects stood higher. The firm
was dissolved many years ago About
five years ago, Mr.. Ralston died, at very
advanced, and now he is followed by his

Mr.. Peasants was man Of uncom
