TELEGRAM　TO　F。　C。　SHERMAN　AND　J。　S。　HAYES。



WASHINGTON；　September　7；　1863。



Yours　of　August　29　just　received。　I　suppose　it　was　intended　by

Congress　that　this　government　should　execute　the　act　in　question

without　dependence　upon　any　other　government；　State；　city；　or　county。

It　is；　however；　within　the　range　of　practical　convenience　to　confer

with　the　governments　of　States；　while　it　is　quite　beyond　that　range

to　have　correspondence　on　the　subject　with　counties　and　cities。　　They

are　too　numerous。　　As　instances；　I　have　corresponded　with　Governor

Seymour；　but　Not　with　Mayor　Opdyke；　with　Governor　Curtin；　but　not

with　Mayor　Henry。

EXECUTIVE　MANSION；　WASHINGTON；

SEPTEMBER；　11；　1863



HON。　ANDREW　JOHNSON。



MY　DEAR　SIR：All　Tennessee　is　now　clear　of　armed　insurrectionists。

You　need　not　to　be　reminded　that　it　is　the　nick　of　time　for

reinaugurating　a　loyal　State　government。　　Not　a　moment　should　be

lost。　　You　and　the　co…operating　friends　there　can　better　judge　of　the

ways　and　means　than　can　be　judged　by　any　here。　　I　only　offer　a　few

suggestions。　　The　reinauguration　must　not　be　such　as　to　give　control

of　the　State　and　its　representation　in　Congress　to　the　enemies　of　the

Union；　driving　its　friends　there　into　political　exile。　　The　whole

struggle　for　Tennessee　will　have　been　profitless　to　both　State　and

nation　if　it　so　ends　that　Governor　Johnson　is　put　down　and　Governor

Harris　put　up。　　It　must　not　be　so。　　You　must　have　it　otherwise。　　Let

the　reconstruction　be　the　work　of　such　men　only　as　can　be　trusted　for

the　Union。　　Exclude　all　others；　and　trust　that　your　government　so

organized　will　be　recognized　here　as　being　the　one　of　republican　form

to　be　guaranteed　to　the　State；　and　to　be　protected　against　invasion

and　domestic　violence。　　It　is　something　on　the　question　of　time　to

remember　that　it　cannot　be　known　who　is　next　to　occupy　the　position　I

now　hold；　nor　what　he　will　do。　　I　see　that　you　have　declared　in　favor

of　emancipation　in　Tennessee；　for　which　may　God　bless　you。　　Get

emancipation　into　your　new　State　government　constitution　and　there

will　be　no　such　word　as　fail　for　your　cause。　　The　raising　of　colored

troops；　I　think；　will　greatly　help　every　way。



Yours　very　truly；



A。　LINCOLN。

MAJOR…GENERAL　BURNSIDE；　Cumberland　Gap：



Yours　received。　　A　thousand　thanks　for　the　late　successes　you　have

given　us。　　We　cannot　allow　you　to　resign　until　things　shall　be　a

little　more　settled　in　East　Tennessee。　　If　then；　purely　on　your　own

account；　you　wish　to　resign；　we　will　not　further　refuse　you。

also　said　his　supposed　desertion　is　comprised　in　an　absence

commencing　with　his　falling　behind　last　winter；　being　captured　and

paroled　by　the　enemy；　and　then　going　home。　　If　this　be　near　the

truth；　please　suspend　the　execution　till　further　order　and　send　in

the　record　of　the　trial。

MAJOR…GENERAL　MEAD；　Warrenton；　Va。：



The　name　is　〃Thomas　Edds〃　not　〃Eddies〃　as　in　your　despatch。　　The

papers　left　with　me　do　not　designate　the　regiment　to　which　he

belongs。　　The　man　who　gave　me　the　papers；　I　do　not　know　how　to　find

again。　　He　only　told　me　that　Edds　is　in　the　Army　of　the　Potomac；　and

that　he　fell　out　of　the　ranks　during　Burnside's　mud　march　last

winter。　　If　I　get　further　information　I　will　telegraph　again。

BY　THE　PRESIDENT　OF　THE　UNITED　STATES　OF　AMERICA：



A　Proclamation。



Whereas　the　Constitution　of　the　United　States　has　ordained　that　the

privilege　of　the　writ　of　habeas　corpus　shall　not　be　suspended　unless

when；　in　cases　of　rebellion　or　invasion；　the　public　safety　may

require　it；　and：



Whereas　a　rebellion　was　existing　on　the　third　day　of　March；　1863；

which　rebellion　is　still　existing；　and：



Whereas　by　a　statute　which　was　approved　on　that　day　it　was　enacted　by

the　Senate　and　House　of　Representatives　of　the　United　States　in

Congress　assembled　that　during　the　present　insurrection　the　President

of　the　United　States；　whenever　in　his　judgment　the　public　safety　may

require；　is　authorized　to　suspend　the　privilege　of　the　writ　of　habeas

corpus　in　any　case　throughout　the　United　States　or　any　part　thereof；

and：



Whereas；　in　the　judgment　of　the　President；　the　public　safety　does

require　that　the　privilege　of　the　said　writ　shall　new　be　suspended

throughout　the　United　States　in　the　cases　where；　by　the　authority　of

the　President　of　the　United　States；　military；　naval；　and　civil

officers　of　the　United　States；　or　any　of　them；　hold　persons　under

their　command　or　in　their　custody；　either　as　prisoners　of　war；　spies；

or　aiders　or　abettors　of　the　enemy；　or　officers；　soldiers；　or　seamen

enrolled　or　drafted　or　mustered　or　enlisted　in　or　belonging　to　the

land　or　naval　forces　of　the　United　States；　or　as　deserters　therefrom；

or　otherwise　amenable　to　military　law　or　the　rules　and　articles　of

war　or　the　rules　or　regulations　prescribed　for　the　military　or　naval

services　by　authority　of　the　President　of　the　United　States；　or　for

resisting　a　draft；　or　for　any　other　offense　against　the　military　or

naval　service



Now；　therefore；　I；　Abraham　Lincoln；　President　of　the　United　States；

do　hereby　proclaim　and　make　known　to　all　whom　it　may　concern　that　the

privilege　of　the　writ　of　habeas　corpus　is　suspended　throughout　the

United　States　in　the　several　cases　before　mentioned；　and　that　this

suspension　will　continue　throughout　the　duration　of　the　said

rebellion　or　until　this　proclamation　shall；　by　a　subsequent　one　to　be

issued　by　the　President　of　the　United　States；　be　modified　or　revoked。

And　I　do　hereby　require　all　magistrates；　attorneys；　and　other　civil

officers　within　the　United　States　and　all　officers　and　others　in　the

military　and　naval　services　of　the　United　States　to　take　distinct

notice　of　this　suspension　and　to　give　it　full　effect；　and　all

citizens　of　the　United　States　to　conduct　and　govern　themselves

accordingly　and　in　conformity　with　the　Constitution　of　the　United

States　and　the　laws　of　Congress　in　such　case　made　and　provided。



In　testimony　whereof　I　have　hereunto　set　my　hand　and　caused　the　seal

of　the　United　States　to　be　affixed；　this　fifteenth　day　of　September；
