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。〃

GENERAL McCALLUM； Alexandria； Va。：
I have sent to General Meade； by telegraph； to suspend the execution

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。

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。

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：

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

the particulars of Major…General Blunt's case。

free colored。

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
