Norre.—On p. 567 ante it will be seen that by some means all
our two North Carolina Cavalry Brigades of Barringer and wart Cas
omitted (except 3 names) in making up the Duplicate Parole List for General
Lee from which we printed, or had become detached since, and access to
the copy filed by General Grant at Washington having been denied, the omis-
sion could not be supplied. Owing to the energy and zeal of Hon. Theo. F
Kluttz, our efficient member of Congress from the Salisbury District, a copy
of the Parole List of those Brigades from the original at Washington has just
been received as this form is going to press and is here inserted. All Confed-
erate Veterans are indebted to him that our list is thus made complete, and
