GENERAL ORDER RESPECTING THE OBSERVANCE OF
THE SABBATH DAY IN THE ARMY AND NAVY。
EXECUTIVE MANSION； WASHINGTON；
November 15； 1862。
The President； Commander…in…Chief of the Army and Navy； desires and
enjoins the orderly observance of the Sabbath by the officers and men
in the military and naval service。 The importance for man and beast
of the prescribed weekly rest； the sacred rights of Christian
soldiers and sailors； a becoming deference to the best sentiment of a
Christian people； and a due regard for the divine will demand that
Sunday labor in the army and navy be reduced to the measure of strict
necessity。
The discipline and character of the national forces should not suffer
nor the cause they defend be imperilled by the profanation of the day
or name of the Most High。 〃At this time of public distress；〃
adopting the words of Washington in 1776； 〃men may find enough to do
in the service of God and their country without abandoning themselves
to vice and immorality。〃 The first general order issued by the Father
of his Country after the Declaration of Independence indicates the
spirit in which our institutions were founded and should ever be
defended：
〃The General hopes and trusts that every officer and man will
endeavor to live and act as becomes a Christian soldier defending the
dearest rights and liberties of his country。〃

TELEGRAM TO GENERAL BLAIR
EXECUTIVE MANSION； WASHINGTON； November 17；1862。
HON。 F。 P。 BLAIR：
Your brother says you are solicitous to be ordered to join General
McLernand。 I suppose you are ordered to Helena； this means that you
are to form part of McLernand's expedition as it moves down the
river； and General McLernand is so informed。 I will see General
Halleck as to whether the additional force you mention can go with
you。

TELEGRAM TO GENERAL J。 A。 DIX。
WASHINGTON； D。 C。； November 18； 1861。
MAJOR…GENERAL Dix； Fort Monroe：
Please give me your best opinion as to the number of the enemy now at
Richmond and also at Petersburg。

TO GOVERNOR SHEPLEY。
EXECUTIVE MANSION； WASHINGTON；
November 21； 1862。
HON。 G。 F。 SHEPLEY。
DEAR SIR：Dr。 Kennedy； bearer of this； has some apprehension that
Federal officers not citizens of Louisiana may be set up as
candidates for Congress in that State。 In my view there could be no
possible object in such an election。 We do not particularly need
members of Congress from there to enable us to get along with
legislation here。 What we do want is the conclusive evidence that
respectable citizens of Louisiana are willing to be members of
Congress and to swear support to the Constitution； and that other
respectable citizens there are willing to vote for them and send
them。 To send a parcel of Northern men here as representatives；
elected； as would be understood （and perhaps really so）； at the
point of the bayonet； would be disgusting and outrageous； and were I
a member of Congress here； I would vote against admitting any such
man to a seat。
Yours very truly；
A。 LINCOLN；
ORDER PROHIBITING THE EXPORT OF ARMS AND
MUNITIONS OF WAR。

allowed to be exported from the United States until further orders。
That any clearance for arms； ammunition； or munitions of war issued
heretofore by the Treasury Department be vacated； if the articles
have not passed without the United States； and the articles stopped。
That the Secretary of War hold possession of the arms； etc。； recently
seized by his order at Rouse's Point； bound for Canada。

DELAYING TACTICS OF GENERALS
TO GENERAL N。 P。 BANKS。
EXECUTIVE MANSION； WASHINGTON；
November 22； 1862。
MY DEAR GENERAL BANKS：Early last week you left me in high hope with
your assurance that you would be off with your expedition at the end
of that week； or early in this。 It is now the end of this； and I
have just been overwhelmed and confounded with the sight of a
requisition made by you which； I am assured； cannot be filled and got
off within an hour short of two months。 I enclose you a copy of the
requisition； in some hope that it is not genuinethat you have never
seen it。 My dear General； this expanding and piling up of
impedimenta has been； so far； almost our ruin； and will be our final
ruin if it is not abandoned。 If you had the articles of this
requisition upon the wharf； with the necessary animals to make them
of any use； and forage for the animals； you could not get vessels
together in two weeks to carry the whole； to say nothing of your
twenty thousand men； and； having the vessels； you could not put the
cargoes aboard in two wee
