From the Richmond Whig, 4/19/1865
PAROLED. - Capt. D. Callahan, late commandant of Castle
Thunder, who came in and delivered himself up to the authorities, was not
committed to the Libby, but released upon his parole of honor. Capt. Callahan
desires us to correct an assertion which we made yesterday concerning him, that
he, with others, “foot-sore, weary and dispirited,” &c. He admits that
he was both foot-sore and weary, but not dispirited in the least; he had only
done what his Commander-in-Chief had done - surrendered to an inevitable
necessity.
