NEW YORK, June 26.-The Herald's
Washington special has the following:-
Mr. Conway's mission has been successful
in the matter Of a majority of the Rich
mond Ambulance committee, but has tall-
ed in few individuals belonging to the
organization, and in behalf of Generals
Echols and st. John, the President asked
the names embraced in the ambulance
committee. and enquired particularly
whether or not it included Joe Anderson,
| of the Tredepar works When the list
was handed him he scanned 1t carefully
and pardoned such as were not especially
under the ban.
A considerable effort is being made by
tbe Union men of Alabama to have the
President pardon L. B. Walker, of Hunts
Vile. the first rebel Secretary of War
He was retired from that position in
1861, as they assert, because he was not
sufficiently violent to suit jeff Davis,
| and was denied any command conmensu-
rate with his rank until he threw up his
command and left the eservice His friends
claim for him that he always opposed
Davis harsh treatment of Union men in
East Tennessee, and volunteered to de-
fend Brownlow and others.
1t is understood that Governor Pier
point, of Virginia, declines to sign any
more recommendations for pardon, as he
saws that proper attention has not been
accorded to the recommendations he has
already made. He has recommended the
pardon of men like Mr.. Anderson, OF the
Tredepar Iron Works, who have made
LARGE fortunes out Of the rebel Govern
ment during the war, and who now de-
sire pardon that they may enjoy the
fruits of their labors in behalf of rebel
dom. President johnson does not real
ize the benefit to the Union cause to be
derived from the promiscuous release of
such men from the pains and penalties
to which their acts have exposed them,
whereat the Governor is much exercised.
Information has been received here OF
the death of. D. DAILY Governor of Utah
Territory
The decision of the internal Revenue
Department a year ago that certified

ed by the Solicitor of the Treasury De-
partment, and may now be considered as

GREAT interest to business men and bank
ers.

The Times special says the rebel Sen
ator II. C. Burnett, of Kentucky, has
zone TO that State under military guard,
to he handed over to the civil authorl-
ties for trial or release as the civil GoV-
ernment may deem proper

The Hon. Henry Winter Davis will
probably deliver the lth of July Grafton
in Chicago. it is said will take strong
ground in favor of negro suffrage. Mt
Davis would have otficiated as orator III
Baltimore on the same occasion, had he
not received an earlier invitation from
Chicago
II NAV interest many of martial pro-
chvities to know that there are still
large number of vacancies among the
colored regiments. Those who want an
opportunity should apply at once.
The Hcrald's Richmond correspondent
says Judge Robert Ould late rebel En-
! change Commissioner, and Major Car
ringtOn, one of his assistants. have been
released from Libby prison on parole,
where they were confined on charge of
having taken part in the notorious mis-
appropriation of money and comforts
sent to Union prisoners by their friends
at the North. 1t appears that Ould and
Darlington did not take part in these
shameful transactions, but others con-
pected with the rebel exchange bureau
are still in confinement, who did. The
infamous tyrant over our prisoners OF
war who escaped sometime since from
Libby and was retaken, is now chained
70 the wall of his dungeon and is beng
made to taste some of his own horrors,
imposed on our poor boys.
The Pre,ideut-HeaIth of Frederick
Seward.
