A Rebel War Clerk’s Diary at the Confederate States Capital, By John Beauchamp Jones
    

This may be a fatal policy, or it may be a trap.—Rebel War Clerk

SEPTEMBER 25th.—Mr. Benjamin and Gen. Winder, after granting a special interview to Messrs. G. and R., have concluded to let them depart for Pennsylvania and New York! Nor is this all. I have an order from Mr. Benjamin to give passports, until farther orders, to leave the country to all persons who avow them-selves alien enemies, whether in person or by letter, provided they take no wealth with them. This may be a fatal policy, or it may be a trap.
