recommendation；　and　the　assessor　also　with　your　testimony　of

worthiness；　although　I　know　you　preferred　a　different　man。　　I　will

EXECUTIVE　ORDER　ESTABLISHING　A　PROVISIONAL　COURT　IN　LOUISIANA。



EXECUTIVE　MANSION；　WASHINGTON　CITY；



October　20；　1862。



The　insurrection　which　has　for　some　time　prevailed　in　several　of　the

States　of　this　Union；　including　Louisiana；　having　temporarily

subverted　and　swept　away　the　civil　institutions　of　that　State；

including　the　judiciary　and　the　judicial　authorities　of　the　Union；　so

that　it　has　become　necessary　to　hold　the　State　in　military

Occupation；　and　it　being　indispensably　necessary　that　there　shall　be

some　judicial　tribunal　existing　there　capable　of　administering

justice；　I　have　therefore　thought　it　proper　to　appoint；　and　I　do

hereby　constitute；　a　provisional　court；　which　shall　be　a　court　of

record；　for　the　State　of　Louisiana；　and　I　do　hereby　appoint　Charles　A

Peabody；　of　New　York；　to　be　a　provisional　judge　to　hold　said　court；

with　authority　to　hear；　try；　and　determine　all　causes；　civil　and

criminal；　including　causes　in　law；　equity；　revenue；　and　admiralty；

and　particularly　all　such　powers　and　jurisdiction　as　belong　to　the

district　and　circuit　courts　of　the　United　States；　conforming　his

proceedings　so　far　as　possible　to　the　course　of　proceedings　and

practice　which　has　been　customary　in　the　courts　of　the　United　States

and　Louisiana；　his　judgment　to　be　final　and　conclusive。　　And　I　do

hereby　authorize　and　empower　the　said　judge　to　make　and　establish

such　rules　and　regulations　as　may　be　necessary　for　the　exercise　of

his　jurisdiction；　and　empower　the　said　judge　to　appoint　a　prosecuting

attorney；　marshal；　and　clerk　of　the　said　court；　who　shall　perform　the

functions　of　attorney；　marshal；　and　clerk　according　to　such

proceedings　and　practice　as　before　mentioned　and　such　rules　and

regulations　as　may　be　made　and　established　by　said　judge。　　These

appointments　are　to　continue　during　the　pleasure　of　the　President；

not　extending　beyond　the　military　occupation　of　the　city　of　New

Orleans　or　the　restoration　of　the　civil　authority　in　that　city　and　in

the　State　of　Louisiana。　　These　officers　shall　be　paid；　out　of　the

contingent　fund　of　the　War　Department；　compensation　as　follows：



The　judge　at　the　rate　of　　3500　per　annum；　the　prosecuting　attorney；

including　the　fees；　at　the　rate　of　　3000　per　annum；　the　marshal；

including　the　fees；　at　the　rate　of　3000　per　annum；　and　the　clerk；

including　the　fees；　at　the　rate　of　2500　per　annum；　such

compensations　to　be　certified　by　the　Secretary　of　War。　　A　copy　of

this　order；　certified　by　the　Secretary　of　War　and　delivered　to　such

judge；　shall　be　deemed　and　held　to　be　a　sufficient　commission。

EXECUTIVE　MANSION；　WASHINGTON；

October　21；　1862。



MAJOR…GENERAL　U。　S。　GRANT：



The　bearer　of　this；　Thomas　R。　Smith；　a　citizen　of　Tennessee；　goes　to

that　State　seeking　to　have　such　of　the　people　thereof　as　desire　to

avoid　the　unsatisfactory　prospect　before　them；　and　to　have　peace

again　upon　the　old　terms；　under　the　Constitution　of　the　United

States；　to　manifest　such　desire　by　elections　of　members　to　the

Congress　of　the　United　States　particularly；　and　perhaps　a

Legislature；　State　officers；　and　a　United　States　senator　friendly　to

their　object。



I　shall　be　glad　for　you　and　each　of　you　to　aid　him；　and　all　others

acting　for　this　object；　as　much　as　possible。　　In　all　　available　ways

give　the　people　a　show　to　express　their　wishes　at　these　elections。



Follow　law；　and　forms　of　law；　as　far　as　convenient；　but　at　all　events

get　the　expression　of　the　largest　number　of　the　people　possible。　　All

see　how　such　action　will　connect　with　and　affect　the　proclamation　of

September　22。　　Of　course　the　men　elected　should　be　gentlemen　of

character；　willing　to　swear　support　to　the　Constitution　as　of　old；

and　known　to　be　above　reasonable　suspicion　of　duplicity。



Yours　very　respectfully；



A。　LINCOLN。

TELEGRAM　TO　GENERAL　G。　B。　McCLELLAN。



WAR　DEPARTMENT；　WASHINGTON　CITY；　October　24　＇25？＇；　1862。



MAJOR…GENERAL　McCLELLAN：



I　have　just　read　your　despatch　about　sore…tongued　and　fatigued

horses。　　Will　you　pardon　me　for　asking　what　the　horses　of　your　army

have　done　since　the　battle　of　Antietam　that　fatigues　anything？



A。　LINCOLN。









TELEGRAM　TO　GENERAL　G。　B。　McCLELLAN。



EXECUTIVE　MANSION　WASHINGTON；　October　26；　1862。　　　11。30am



MAJOR…GENERAL　McCLELLAN：



Yours；　in　reply　to　mine　about　horses；　received。　　Of　course　you　know

the　facts　better　than　I；　still　two　considerations　remain：　Stuart's

cavalry　outmarched　ours；　having　certainly　done　more　marked　service　on

the　Peninsula　and　everywhere　since。　　Secondly；　will　not　a　movement　of

our　army　be　a　relief　to　the　cavalry；　compelling　the　enemy　to

concentrate　instead　of　foraging　in　squads　everywhere？　　But　I　am　so

rejoiced　to　learn　from　your　despatch　to　General　Halleck　that　you

begin　crossing　the　river　this　morning。



A。　LINCOLN。









TO　GENERAL　DIX。

（Private　and　confidential。）



EXECUTIVE　MANSION；　WASHINGTON

October　26；　1862。



MAJOR…GENERAL　Dix；　Fort　Monroe；　Virginia：



Your　despatch　to　Mr。　Stanton；　of　which　the　enclosed　is　a　copy；　has

been　handed　me　by　him。　　It　would　be　dangerous　for　me　now　to　begin

construing　and　making　specific　applications　of　the　proclamation。



It　is　obvious　to　all　that　I　therein　intended　to　give　time　and

opportunity。　　Also；　it　is　seen　I　left　myself　at　liberty　to　exempt

parts　of　States。　　Without　saying　more；　I　shall　be　very　glad　if　any

Congressional

district　will；　in　good　faith；　do　as　your　despatch　contemplates。



Could　you　give　me　the　facts　which　prompted　you　to　telegraph？



Yours　very　truly；



A。　LINCOLN。









TELEGRAM　TO　GENERAL　G。　B。　McCLELLAN。



EXECUTIVE　MANSION；　WASHINGTON；　October　27；　1862；　12。10



MAJOR…GENERAL　McCLELLAN：



Yours　of　yesterday　received。　　Most　certainly　I　intend　no　injustice　to

any；　and　if　I　have　done　any　I　deeply　regret　it。　　To　be　told；　after

more　than　five　weeks'　total　inaction　of　the　army；　and　during　which

period　we　have　sent　to　the　army　every　fresh　horse　we　possibly　could；

amounting　in　the　whole　to　7918；　that　the　cavalry　horses　were　too　much

fatigued　to　move；　presents　a　very　cheerless；　almost　hopeless；

prospect　for　the　future；　and　it　may　have　forced　something　of

impatience　in　my　despatch。　　If　not　recruited　and　rested　then；　when

could　they　ever　be？　　I　suppose　the　river　is　rising；　and　I　am　glad　to

believe　you　are　crossing。



A。　LINCOLN。









TELEGRAM　TO　GENERAL　G。　B。　McCLELLAN。



EXECUTIVE　MANSION；　WASHINGTON；　October　27；　1862。　　3。25pm



MAJOR…GENERAL　McCLELLAN：



Your　despatch　of　3　P。M。　to…day；　in　regard　to　filling　up　old　regiments

with　drafted　men；　is　received；　and　the　request　therein　shall　be

complied　with　as　far　as　practicable。



And　now　I　ask　a　distinct　answer　to　the　question；　Is　it　your　purpose

not　to　go　into　action　again　until　the　men　now　being　drafted　in　the

States　are　incorporated　into　the　old　regiments？



A。　LINCOLN









TELEGRAM　TO　GENERAL　G。　B。　McCLELLAN。



EXECUTIVE　MANSION；　WASHINGTON；　October　29；　1863。



MAJOR…GENERAL　McCLELLAN：



Your　despatches　of　night　before　last；　yesterday；　and　last　night　all

received。　　I　am　much　pleased　with　the　movement　of　the　army。　　When　you

get　entirely　across　the　river　let　me　know。　　What　do　you　know　of　the

enemy？



A。　LINCOLN。









TELEGRAM　TO　GOVERNOR　CURTIN。



EXECUTIVE　MANSION；　WASHINGTON；　October　30；　1862。



GOVERNOR　CURTIN；　Harrisburg：



By　some　means　I　have　not　seen　your　despatch　of　the　27th　about　order

No。154　until　this　moment。　　I　now　learn；　what　I　knew　nothing　of

before；　that　the　history　of　the　order　is　as　follows：

When　General　McClellan　telegraphed　asking　General　Halleck　to　have　the

order　made；　General　Halleck　went　to　the　Secretary　of　War　with　it；

stating　his　approval　of　the　plan。　　The　Secretary　assented　and　General

Halleck　wrote　the　order。　　It　was　a　military　question；　which　the

Secretary　supposed　the　General　understood　better　than　he。



I　wish　I　could　see　Governor　Curtin。



A。　LINCOLN。

GOV。　ANDREW　JOHNSON；　Nashville；　Tenn。；　via　Louisville；　Ky。：



Yours　of　the　29th　received。　　I　shall　take　it　to　General　Halleck；　but

I　already　know　it　will　be　inconvenient　to　take　General　Morgan's

command　from　where　it　now　is。　　I　am　glad　to　hear　you　speak　hopefully

of　Tennessee。　　I　sincerely　hope　Rosecrans　may　find　it　possible　to　do

something　for　her。　　David　Nelson；　son　of　the　M。　C。　of　your　State；

regrets　his　father's　final　defection；　and　asks　me　for　a　situation。

Do　you　know　him？　　　Could　he　be　of　service　to　you　or　to　Tennessee　in

any　capacity　in　which　I　could　send　him？



A。　LINCOLN。
