Telegram To Officer In Command At Nashville.

Executive Mansion, Washington, April 11,1863.

OFFICER IN COMMAND at Nashville, Tenn: Is there a soldier by the name of John R. Minnick of Wynkoop's cavalry under sentence of death, by a court-martial or military commission, in Nashville? And if so what was his offense, and when is he to be executed?

A. LINCOLN.

If necessary let the execution be staid till I can be heard from again.

A. LINCOLN.

&nbsp[President Lincoln sent many telegrams similar in form to
&nbspthis one in order to avoid tiresome repetition the editor
&nbsphas omitted all those without especial interest. Hardly a
&nbspday went by that there were not people in the White House
&nbspbegging mercy for a sentenced soldier. A mother one day,
&nbsppleaded with Lincoln to remit the sentence of execution on
&nbsp her son. "Well, I don't think it will do him a bit of good"
&nbspsaid Mr. Lincoln—"Pardoned." D.W.]
