Mallory served in the Virginia House of Delegates from 1859-1863, and also had a mail contract with the Confederate government. Mallory's application for a presidential pardon at the end of the war states that he was county agent for Brunswick to receive "the tax in kind" for the Confederate government. In his application letter he makes the claim that these were insignificant; however the Provost Marshal in Brunswick County states that Mallory "has been an influential agent of the late so called Confederate government and is anxious to renew his allegiance to the United States." Mallory signed the oath of allegiance on July 10, 1865 and was granted a presidential pardon by Andrew Johnson on July 29, 1865.

After the war, he resumed his occupation as a lawyer and remained a prominent citizen in Brunswick County. He served as a judge for the Brunswick County Court from 1870-1876 and served again in the Virginia House of Delegates from 1885-1887.
