TELEGRAM TO GENERAL J。 HOOKER。



WASHINGTON; D。 C。 May 8; 1863。  4 P。M。



MAJOR…GENERAL HOOKER:



The news is here of the capture by our forces of Grand Gulfa large

and very important thing。  General Willich; an exchanged prisoner

just from Richmond; has talked with me this morning。  He was there

when our cavalry cut the roads in that vicinity。  He says there was

not a sound pair of legs in Richmond; and that our men; had they

known it; could have safely gone in and burned everything and brought

in Jeff Davis。  We captured and paroled 300 or 400 men。  He says as

he came to City Point there was an army three miles long

(Longstreet's; he thought) moving toward Richmond。



Muroy has captured a despatch of General Lee; in which he says his

loss was fearful in his last battle with you。



A。 LINCOLN。









TELEGRAM TO GENERAL J。 A。 DIX。



WAR DEPARTMENT; May 9;1863。



MAJOR…GENERAL DIX:



It is very important for Hooker to know exactly what damage is done

to the railroads at all points between Fredericksburg and Richmond。

As yet we have no word as to whether the crossings of the North and

South Anna; or any of them; have been touched。  There are four of

these Crossings; that is; one on each road on each stream。  You

readily perceive why this information is desired。  I suppose

Kilpatrick or Davis can tell。  Please ascertain fully what was done;

and what is the present condition; as near as you can; and advise me

at once。



A。 LINCOLN。









TO SECRETARY SEWARD。



WASHINGTON; May 9; 1863



I believe Mr。 L。 is a good man; but two things need to be remembered。



1st。  Mr。 R。's rival was a relative of Mr。 L。



2d。  I hear of nobody calling Mr。 R。 a 〃Copperhead;〃 but Mr。 L。

However; let us watch。



A。 L。









TO SECRETARY STANTON。



EXECUTIVE MANSION; WASHINGTON;

MAY 11; 1863



HON。 SECRETARY OF WAR。



DEAR SIR:I have again concluded to relieve General Curtis。  I see

no other way to avoid the worst consequences there。  I think of

General Schofield as his successor; but I do not wish to take the

matter of a successor out of the hands of yourself and General

Halleck。



Yours truly;



A。 LINCOLN。









TELEGRAM TO GENERAL DIX。



WAR DEPARTMENT; WASHINGTON  CITY; May 11; 1863。



MAJOR…GENERAL DIX:



Do the Richmond papers have anything about Grand Gulf or Vicksburg?



A。 LINCOLN。









TELEGRAM TO GENERAL BUTTERFIELD。

'Cipher。'

WAR DEPARTMENT; WASHINGTON CITY; May 11; 1863。



MAJOR…GENERAL BUTTERFIELD:



About what distance is it from the observatory we stopped at last

Thursday to the line of enemies' works you ranged the glass upon for

me?



A。 LINCOLN。









TELEGRAM TO GOVERNOR SEYMOUR



EXECUTIVE MANSION; WASHINGTON; May 12; 1863。



GOVERNOR SEYMOUR; Albany; N。Y。:



Dr。 Swinburne and Mr。 Gillett are here; having been refused; as they

say; by the War Department; permission to go to the Army of the

Potomac。   They now appeal to me; saying you wish them to go。  I

suppose they have been excluded by a rule which experience has

induced the department to deem proper; still they shall have leave to

go; if you say you desire it。  Please answer。



A。 LINCOLN









TELEGRAM TO A。 G。 HENRY。



EXECUTIVE MANSION; WASHINGTON May 13;1863。



Dr。 A。 G。 HENRY; Metropolitan Hotel; New York:



Governor Chase's feelings were hurt by my action in his absence。

Smith is removed; but Governor Chase wishes to name his successor;

and asks a day or two to make the designation。



A。 LINCOLN。









TO GENERAL J。 HOOKER。



EXECUTIVE MANSION; WASHINGTON; D。C。

May 14; 1863。



MAJOR…GENERAL HOOKER; Commanding。



MY DEAR SIR:When I wrote on the 7th; I had an impression that

possibly by an early movement you could get some advantage from the

supposed facts that the enemy's communications were disturbed and

that he was somewhat deranged in position。  That idea has now passed

away; the enemy having re…established his communications; regained

his positions; and actually received reinforcements。  It does not now

appear probable to me that you can gain anything by an early renewal

of the attempt to cross the Rappahannock。  I therefore shall not

complain if you do no more for a time than to keep the enemy at bay

and out of other mischief by menaces and occasional cavalry raids; if

practicable; and to put your own army in good condition again。

Still; if in your own clear judgment you can renew the attack

successfully; I do not mean to restrain you。  Bearing upon this last

point; I must tell you that I have some painful intimations that some

of your corps and division commanders are not giving you their entire

confidence。  This would be ruinous; if true; and you should

therefore; first of all; ascertain the real facts beyond all

possibility of doubt。



Yours truly;



A。 LINCOLN。









FACTIONAL QUARRELS



TELEGRAM TO H。 T。 BLOW AND OTHERS。



EXECUTIVE MANSION; WASHINGTON; May 15; 1863。



HON。 H。 T。 BLOW; C。 D。 DRAKE; AND OTHERS; St。  Louis; Mo。:



Your despatch of to…day is just received。  It is very painful to me

that you in Missouri cannot or will not settle your factional quarrel

among yourselves。  I have been tormented with it beyond endurance for

months by both sides。  Neither side pays the least respect to my

appeals to your reason。  I am now compelled to take hold of the case。



A。 LINCOLN。









TELEGRAM TO JAMES GUTHRIE。



WAR DEPARTMENT; WASHINGTON CITY; May 16; 1863。



HON。 JAMES GUTHRIE; Louisville; Ky。:



Your despatch of to…day is received。  I personally know nothing of

Colonel Churchill; but months ago and more than once he has been

represented to me as exerting a mischievous influence at Saint Louis;

for which reason I am unwilling to force his continuance there

against the judgment of our friends on the ground; but if it will

oblige you; he may come to and remain at Louisville upon taking the

oath of allegiance; and your pledge for his good behavior。



A。 LINCOLN。









TO SECRETARY OF WAR。



WAR DEPARTMENT; WASHINGTON CITY;

May 16; 1863。



HON。 SECRETARY OF WAR。



MY DEAR SIR:The commander of the Department at St。  Louis has

ordered several persons south of our military lines; which order is

not disapproved by me。  Yet at the special request of the HON。 James

Guthrie I have consented to one of the number; Samuel Churchill;

remaining at Louisville; Ky。; upon condition of his taking the oath

of allegiance and Mr。 Gutlirie's word of honor for his good behavior。



Yours truly;

A。 LINCOLN。

directs that you execute that order by sending him forward under

secure guard without delay t
