We now have a tolerably accurate summing up of the late battle

between Rosecrans and Braag。  The result is that we are worsted; if

at all; only in the fact that we; after the main fighting was over;

yielded the ground; thus leaving considerable of our artillery and

wounded to fall into the enemy's hands。; for which we got nothing in

turn。  We lost in general officers one killed and three or four

wounded; all brigadiers; while; according to the rebel accounts which

we have; they lost six killed and eight wounded: of the killed one

major…general and five brigadiers including your brother…in…law;

Helm; and of the wounded three major…generals and five brigadiers。

This list may be reduced two in number by corrections of confusion in

names。   At  11。40 A。M。 yesterday General Rosecrans telegraphed from

Chattanooga:   〃We hold this point; and I cannot be dislodged except

by very superior numbers and after a great battle。〃 A despatch

leaving there after night yesterday says; 〃No fight to…day。〃

September 25; 1863。



GENERAL McCALLUM; Alexandria; Va。:



I have sent to General Meade; by telegraph; to suspend the execution

of Daniel Sullivan of Company F; Thirteenth Massachusetts; which was

to be to…day; but understanding there is an interruption on the line;

TELEGRAM TO GENERAL MEADE。



WAR DEPARTMENT; WASHINGTON; D。 C。;

September 25; 1863。



MAJOR…GENERAL MEADE; Army of Potomac:



Owing to the press in behalf of Daniel Sullivan; Company E;

Thirteenth Massachusetts; and the doubt; though small; which you

express of his guilty intention; I have concluded to say let his

execution be suspended till further order; and copy of record sent

me。



A。 LINCOLN。









TO GENERAL W。 S。 ROSECRANS。



EXECUTIVE MANSION; WASHINGTON;

September 25; 1863。



MY DEAR GENERAL ROSECRANS:



We are sending you two small corps; one under General Howard and one

under General Slocum; and the whole under General Hooker。



Unfortunately the relations between Generals Hooker and Slocum are

not such as to promise good; if their present relative positions

remain。  Therefore; let me begalmost enjoin upon youthat on their

reaching you; you will make a transposition by which General Slocum

with his Corps; may pass from under the command of General Hooker;

and General Hooker; in turn receive some other equal force。  It is

important for this to be done; though we could not well arrange it

here。  Please do it。



Yours very truly;



A。 LINCOLN。









TELEGRAM TO GENERAL W。 S。 ROSECRANS。



WAR DEPARTMENT; September 28; 1863。 8 A。M。



MAJOR…GENERAL ROSECRANS; Chattanooga。; Tenn。:



You can perhaps communicate with General Burnside more rapidly by

sending telegrams directly to him at Knoxville。  Think of it。  I send

a like despatch to him。

TO GENERAL SCHOFIELD。



EXECUTIVE MANSION; WASHINGTON;

OCTOBER 1; 1863



GENERAL JOHN M。 SCHOFIELD:



There is no organized military force in avowed opposition to the

General Government now in Missouri; and if any shall reappear; your

duty in regard to it will be too plain to require any special

instruction。  Still; the condition of things; both there and

elsewhere; is such as to render it indispensable to maintain; for a

time; the United States military establishment in that State; as well

as to rely upon it for a fair contribution of support to that

establishment generally。  Your immediate duty in regard to Missouri

now is to advance the efficiency of that establishment; and to so use

it; as far as practicable; to compel the excited people there to let

one another alone。



Under your recent order; which I have approved; you will only arrest

individuals; and suppress assemblies or newspapers; when they may be

working palpable injury to the military in your charge; and in no

other case will you interfere with the expression of opinion in any

form; or allow it to be interfered with violently by others。  In this

you have a discretion to exercise with great caution; calmness; and

forbearance。



With the matter of removing the inhabitants of certain counties en

masse; and of removing certain individuals from time to time; who are

supposed to be mischievous; I am not now interfering; but am leaving

to your own discretion。



Nor am I interfering with what may still seem to you to be necessary

restrictions upon trade and intercourse。  I think proper; however; to

enjoin upon you the following: Allow no part of the military under

your command to be engaged in either returning fugitive slaves or in

forcing or enticing slaves from their homes; and; so far as

practicable; enforce the same forbearance upon the people。



Report to me your opinion upon the availability for good of the

enrolled militia of the State。  Allow no one to enlist colored

troops; except upon orders from you; or from here through you。



Allow no one to assume the functions of confiscating property; under

the law of Congress; or otherwise; except upon orders from here。



At elections see that those; and only those; are allowed to vote who

are entitled to do so by the laws of Missouri; including as of those

laws the restrictions laid by the Missouri convention upon those who

may have participated in the rebellion。



So far as practicable; you will; by means of your military force;

expel guerrillas; marauders; and murderers; and all who are known to

harbor; aid; or abet them。  But in like manner you will repress

assumptions of unauthorized individuals to perform the same service;

because under pretense of doing this they become marauders and

murderers themselves。



To now restore peace; let the military obey orders; and those not of

the military leave each other alone; thus not breaking the peace

themselves。



In giving the above directions; it is not intended to restrain you in

other expedient and necessary matters not falling within their range。



Your obedient servant;



A。 LINCOLN。









TELEGRAM TO GENERAL S。 M。 SCHOFIELD。



WASHINGTON; D。C。 OCTOBER 2; 1863



MAJOR…GENERAL SCHOFIELD:



I have just seen your despatch to Halleck about Major…General Blunt。

If possible; you better allow me to get through with a certain matter

here; before adding to the difficulties of it。  Meantime supply me

the particulars of Major…General Blunt's case。



A。 LINCOLN。





TELEGRAM TO COLONEL BIRNEY。

'Cipher。)

WAR DEPARTMENT; WASHINGTON; D。C。; October 3; 1863。



COLONEL BIRNEY; Baltimore; Md。:



Please give me; as near as you can; the number of slaves you have

recruited in Maryland。  Of course the number is not to include the

free colored。



A。 LINCOLN。









PROCLAMATION FOR THANKSGIVING; OCTOBER 3; 1863。



BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES AMERICA:



A Proclamation。



The year that is drawing towards its close has been filled with the

blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies。 To these bounties;

which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the

source from which they come; others have been added which are of so

extraordinary a nature that they cannot fail to penetrate and s
