I. -- It having come to the knowledge of the General Commanding the District of Western Kentucky, that a contraband trade was being carried on at Metropolis, Ill., and other points on the Ohio river, with the people of Kentucky, an investigation was maid which proved that a very large trade had been going on for some time, and that a number of skiffs had been employed in smuggling and transporting goods and other articles across the river. This in direct violation of orders from these Head-Quarters. II. -- Hereafter no traffic of any description will be allowed between Metropolis and Kentucky, or at any point on the Ohio river other than military posts, and no boats shall ply across the river at Metropolis, except to accommodate such persons who may wish to cross for the purpose of visiting, on penalty of seizure and con-fiscation. III. -- Many permits given for trade in Kentucky at Military Posts, having been used at Metropolis without being taken up, parties adding such articles to them as they saw fit, all such permits are hereby revoked. By Command of BRIG. GEN. S. MEREDITH. JAMES GRAHAM, CAPT AND A. A. GEN. OFFICIAL: [Tho ?] L. Scott Lieut. and A. A. A. Gen. <hr /> Metropolis, Dec. 13th [?] 1864 His Ex. Richard Yates <pre>[Gov?] [illegible] Springfield </pre> Dear Sir, We enclose [you?] a Circular, issued by authority of Brig Genl Meredith at Paducah Ky. You will very readily perceive the effect that such an order will have upon the business of our thriving little city. Our Merchants complain and very justly, that, they are not allowed the same priviledges that their less loyal neighbours enjoy in the State of Ky. Paducah was at the beginning of the war and still is one of, if not the most disloyal place in the state, of Ky, and to my personal knowledge, was as violent, and traitorous as Charleston S.C., since which time I am sorry to say that [her?] Merchants & Capitalists have not reformed, but notwithstanding this a Federal Officer wearing the uniform of a Genl, by the exercise of power, wich was given him to protect the loyal sentiments of the Country, has dictated a Circular that at once suppresses the trade on the loyal side of the River and transfers it to the Rebels, and the Rebel <hr /> side crushes our Metropolis, and builds up Paducah. The Merchants of this place protest, against this Circular and appeal to you as the Gov for protection. They cannot but characterize this order as the most infamous, and unjust [certain?] an [imputation?] against their loyalty, which is totally false and unfounded, in [vindicating?], which they push with pride, to the number of soldiers that has been furnished by their town [treaty?] to suppress the Rebellion and to the recent [election?], the results of which prove that the great Mass. of the People of this County, are loyal, and that while they have suffered much they are still willing to do more to restore the nation, and have resolved to give their united & cheerfull support in every order and every Circular that has for its effect what purpose, but the Merchants of Metropolis would, respectfully [refenesuch?] to your Excellency that trade with Ky. is permitted at the Town of Paducah and that they have repeatedly asked the authorities there to establish at this point a Board of <hr /> Trade such an one as is at Paducah and a Surveyor, whose duty it shall be to grant such parties who desire to purchase supplies at this point subject to the same power and to all the, rules and orders of the Military authority of Paducah, this they would [resfuaful?] [upresent?] would be but just to them and they will ever feel under obligation to their Governor if he will interest himself in their behalf.

With F. Hirshback letter 12/12/64 <pre> Office of the Waukegan Weekly Gazette, </pre> <pre> Waukegan, Ill. Dec 7th 1864 </pre> James Y. Cory. Editor and Prop'r Dear Sir: <pre> Some two or three weeks since I wrote you in relation to getting some men from the Draft rendezvous in your City, assigned to the 65th Ill. Infantry. Col. Wm. Scott Stewart, since when I have heard no word from you. I infer that you may never have seen my letter. In relation to this Matter, my dear Gov. I certainly do not wish to bore you, being aware that the disposition of those men does not belong to you, a (cou??) within your jurisdiction, Still I was of the impression that a "good word" from you to Col. Oaks, would accomplish the whole matter. Col. Stewart is my personal friend and I am very anxious that the ranks of his regt. should be filled up, by the addition of at least 250 Men, which would enable him to be mustered in as a Colonel. Stewart is a resident of Waukegan, a splendid fellow, and out and out Republican. His regiment </pre> <hr /> was in the late battle at Franklin, and from all accounts, fought like devils, led on by their gallant Col. The 65th killed a rebel Brigadier Genl, a Colonel and several minor officers, besides making general slaughter among the "Johnies." Capturing a rebel battle flag. <pre> Should it be in your power to use your influence with Col. Oaks, to the end that the 65th could have 250, new men, I should feel Everlastingly obliged. The 65th being one of the Veteran regiments, Comes legitimately under the rule of the War Dept. for assigning the drafted men. </pre> <pre> If entirely agreeable I should like to hear from you on the subject. </pre> <pre> Sincerely your friend </pre> <pre> James Y.
