confidently affirmed and believed that

MOVEMENTS AND DESIRES OF HENRY A.

sojOurning at the residence of his daurh-
ter. While at Norfolk, n few days since.
Governor Wise set un application afioat,
through the military channels, asking
mat ne might become repossesscd of his
plantation, situated mt Rolliston. n few
miles from Norfolk. sIn hisapplication
Wise sets forth that heisa parOled pris-
oner OF war, belonging to the ARMY of
Northern Virginia, and that he received
In due form n paper ut the hands of
Major General John Gibbon, on the oc-
casion of the final and total surrender
of Lees army, granting him the privi-
lege of going about "undisturbed and
unmolested." Wise further alleges
that his old homo which he seeks has
been taken possession of by negroes,
''or so-called freedmen" and for this
reason he cannot regain it to himself
'and family. He therefore asks that he
may be put i'll "undisturbed and UNI
in accordance with the alleged stipula-
tions of his parole, whose spirit, he
thinks, includes this feature.
THE TREATMENT OF THE APPLICATION.
The application will doubtless be de-
MED, for the reason that the premises
sought arc now used by the Freed
mems Bureau, and CANNOT well be dis
tpensed with. Brevet Brigadier General
.. L.. Mum, commanding Mt Norfolk,
and BreVet NInjOr. Gen. n. Miles, COM
manding at Fortress Monroe, have re-
spectiyely .disnpproVed the paper, the
former, partly on the ground that
Wise's title to the property is not clear
ly apparent, the suppOsitiQn being that
it belongs to his brother. It is more
than probable that General Wise will
have to wander yet awhile.
