NEW YORK, June 26.
The Herald's Washington special has the
following;
Mr.. COnWsy's mission mas been success
full in the matter of 8 msjoritY of the
Richmond Ambulance Committee. but has
failed In f5w individuals belonging to the
organization and in behalf of Generals
EchOls and st. John. The President ask
ed for the names embraced in the smbu-
lance committee, and inquired particular
ly whether or not it included Joe Ander-
son, of the TTedegar Works. When the

ly, and psrdoned such as were not especial
ly under The ban.
A considerable effort is being made by
the Union men of Alabama to have the
President pardon l.. B. Walker, OF Huats-
vile, the first rebel Secretary of War,
He was retired from that position Brig
adler General in 1861, as they assert, be-
cause he WSs not sufficiently trueulent to
JEFF Davis, and was denied any command
commensurate with his rank until he
threw up his commission and left the SER
vice. His friends claim for him that he
always opposed Davis harsh treatment of
Union men in East Tennessee, and volun-
teered to defend BrOWnloW and others.
1t is understood that Governor Pierpont
of Virginia. declines to sign any more rec
concentrations for pardon, as he says 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 Trede-
gar Iron Works, who have made large
fortunes out of the rebellion during the
war, and who now desire s pardon that
they may enjoy the fruits Of their labors
in behalf of the rebellion. President John
son does not realize the benefit TO the Union
cause to be derived from 8 promiscuous re-
lief Of such men from the pains and penal
ties to which their acts have exposed them.
