TELEGRAM TO J。 SEGAR。
WAR DEPARTMENT; WASHINGTON; D。 C。。
September 5; 1863。
HON。 JOSEPH SEGAR; Fort Monroe; Va。:
I have just seen your despatch to the Secretary of War; who is
absent。 I also send a despatch from Major Hayner of the 3d showing
that he had notice of my order; and stating that the people were
jubilant over it; as a victory over the Government extorted by fear;
and that he had already collected about 4000 of the money。 If he
has proceeded since; I shall hold him accountable for his contumacy。
On the contrary; no dollar shall be refunded by my order until it
shall appear that my act in the case has been accepted in the right
spirit。

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。

TELEGRAM TO GOVERNOR JOHNSON。
EXECUTIVE MANSION; WASHINGTON; September 8; 1863。 9。30
HON。 ANDREW JOHNSON; Nashville; Tenn。:
Despatch of yesterday just received。 I shall try to find the paper
you mention and carefully consider it。 In the meantime let me urge
that you do your utmost to get every man you can; black and white;
under arms at the very earliest moment; to guard roads; bridges; and
trains; allowing all the better trained soldiers to go forward to
Rosecrans。 Of course I mean for you to act in co…operation with and
not independently of; the military authorities。

TELEGRAM TO GENERAL MEADE。
EXECUTIVE MANSION; WASHINGTON; September 9; 1863。
MAJOR…GENERAL MEADE; Warrenton; Va。:
It would be a generous thing to give General Wheaton a leave of
absence for ten or fifteen days; and if you can do so without injury
to the service; please do it。
A。 LINCOLN。
TELEGRAM TO GENERAL WHEATON。
WASHINGTON; D。C。; September 10; 1863。
GENERAL WHEATON; Army of Potomac:
Yesterday at the instance of Mr。 Blair; senator; I telegraphed
General Meade asking him to grant you a leave of absence; to which he
replied that you had not applied for such leave; and that you can
have it when you do apply。 I suppose it is proper for you to know
this。

TO GOVERNOR JOHNSON。
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。
TELEGRAM TO GENERAL A。 E。 BURNSIDE。
WASHINGTON; September 11; 1863。
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。
A。 LINCOLN
TELEGRAM TO GENERAL MEADE。
EXECUTIVE MANSION; WASHINGTON; September 11; 1863。
MAJOR…GENERAL MEADE; Warrenton; Va。:
It is represented to me that Thomas Edds; in your army; is under
sentence of death for desertion; to be executed next Monday。 It is
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。
A。 LINCOLN
TELEGRAM TO GENERAL MEADE。
WASHINGTON; D。C。; September 12; 1863。
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。
