The court refused to grant the writ of habeas corpus, and the military commission sentenced Vallandigham to close confinement in Fort Warren, Boston Harbor, during the remainder of the war. President Lincoln, however, afterwards commuted the sentence to banishment into the Confederacy, and Mr. Vallandigham was taken to Nashville, where General Rosecrans, under a flag of truce, delivered him into the lines of the Confederates. General Burnside was also called on to send through the lines the mother and the sister of a lady for whom he had, in his younger days, a sincere attachment, they having been detected in attempting to carry letters, quinine, opium, and camphor through the lines. The arrest and trial of Mr. Vallandigham and the efficient manner in which treasonable correspondence with the South was checked, was severely commented on by papers opposed to the administration, and General Burnside was finally provoked into the issue of the following order : HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF THE OHIO, General Orders, No. 84. II. Postmasters, news agents, and all others will govern themselves by this order, as any person detected in forwarding, selling, or in any way circulating the paper referred to, will be promptly arrested and held for trial. III. On account of the repeated expression of disloyal and incendiary sentiments, the publication of the newspaper known as the Chicago Times is hereby suppressed. IV. Brig.-Gen. Jacob Ammen, commanding the District of Illinois, is charged with the execution of the third paragraph of this order. By command of Major-General BURNSIDE. LEWIS RICHMOND, Lieutenant-Colonel and Assistant Adjutant-General. Powerful influence was brought upon the President to secure a revocation of the salutary order, and it was finally successful. The opposition press, however, was thenceforth more moderate in its tone, while the sympathizers with secession in Ohio secured Vallandigham's nomination by the Democratic party for governor. The people of that State repudiated him, and he was defeated by a large majority. It Meanwhile General Burnside left Cincinnati on the 30th of May, 1863, for Hickman's Bridge, a point twenty-six miles beyond Lexington, Ky., where he proposed to direct in person his regiments for the deliverance of the loyal people of East Tennessee; but when he reached Lexington he received an order to reinforce General Grant, then moving against Vicksburg, with eight thousand men. was instantly obeyed, and the Ninth Corps, under General Parke, was dispatched with a promptness for which President Lincoln telegraphed his most cordial thanks. General Burnside wished to accompany his command, but the Secretary of War would not permit, and he returned to Cincinnati, arriving there in time to organize the militia of Ohio and Indiana in opposition to a raid of Confederates commanded by General Morgan, who was captured with the remnant of his party, four hundred in number, and imprisoned in the Ohio penitentiaries. Having relieved Indiana and Ohio from Morgan's raiders, General Burnside turned his attention to Kentucky, where the sympathizers with secession hoped that with the help of the guerillas they could triumph. A law of Kentucky provided that any man who had been in the rebel service, or who had given voluntary aid or assistance to the rebels, thereby forfeited his rights as a citizen. To prevent their illegal voting, General Burnside issued the following order: HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF THE OHIO, General Orders, No. 120. Whereas, the State of Kentucky is invaded by a rebel force with the avowed intention of over-awing the judges of elections, of intimidating the loyal voters, keeping them from the polls and forcing the electing of disloyal candidates at the election on the 3d of August; and, whereas, the military power of the government is the only force that can defeat this attempt, the State of Kentucky is hereby declared under martial law, and all military officers are commanded to aid the constituted authorities of the State in the support of the laws and of the purity of suffrage, as defined in the late proclamation of His Excellency, Governor Robinson. As it is not the intention of the commanding general to interfere with the proper expression of public opinion, all discretion in the conduct of the election will be as usual in the hands of the legally appointed judges at the polls, who will be held strictly responsible that no disloyal person be allowed to vote, and to this end the military power is ordered to give them its utmost support. The civil authority, civil courts, and business will not be suspended by this order. It is for the purpose only of protecting, if necessary, the rights of loyal citizens, and the freedom of election. By command of Major-General BURNSIDE. LEWIS RICHMOND, Assistant Adjutant-General. TROOPS REOF KNOXVILLE MARCH ACROSS KENTUCKY - PRESERVATION OF ORDER-CROSSING Τ' HE staunch old State of Kentucky was of loyal heart. Mr. Bramlette, the Union candidate for governor, was elected, and General Burnside next turned his attention to the deliverance of the longoppressed citizens of East Tennessee. The Ninth Corps was unavoidably detained by General Grant in Mississippi, having been so often transferred from one department to another, that it was known as "Burnside's Geography Class"; and before it had again reported for duty to him, General Burnside had started on his mountain march. On the sixteenth day of August, 1863, General Rosecrans left Winchester for Chattanooga, and on the same day General Burnside left Lexington for Knoxville. The following order, issued by General Burnside, to be distributed. along the route of his march, showed his solicitude for the inhabitants of the country through which his route lay, and his determination to have daily religious exercises when practicable. He always encouraged divine services in camp, and in his daily trials placed his prayerful trust in the Divine care, relying upon Almighty help to aid him in his difficulties and his duty: General Orders, No. 2. HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF The Ohio, } I. The general commanding calls upon all members of his command to remember that the present campaign takes them through a friendly territory, and that humanity and the best interests of the service require that the peaceable inhabitants be treated with kindness, and that every protection be given by the soldiers to them and to their property. II. Officers will enforce the strictest discipline to prevent straggling, any ill-treatment of citizens, depredations, or willful destruction of private property; and each officer will be held strictly responsible for offences of such nature, committed by men under his command. III. No prisoners will be liberated on parole, but will be conducted under guard to the authorities appointed to receive them. IV. It must also be distinctly understood, that this war is conducted for national objects, and that any desire which may exist on the part of soldiers to avenge their private wrongs, must yield to a proper observance of the well-established usages of civilized warfare. V. Prisoners of war, particularly the wounded, will be treated with every consideration consistent with their safe-keeping, and any ill-treatment or insults offered to them will be severely punished. VI. Whenever regimental evening dress-parades are held, it shall be the duty of the commanding officer to see that the chaplain, or some proper person, in his absence, holds some short religious service, such as the reading of a portion of the Scripture, with appropriate prayer for the protection and assistance of Divine Providence. By order of Maj.-Gen. A E. BURNSIDE. LEWIS RICHMOND, Assistant Adjutant-General. General Burnside's march over the Cumberland Mountains, at the head of eighteen thousand men divided into |
