They may go north and be encouraged in it; but they are such an intolerable
nuisance that the department, must be purged of them.

- Hon. C. P. WOLCOTT,

- Assistant Secretary of War, Washington, D. C..:
-
- I have long since believed that in spite of all the vigilance
that can be infused into post commanders, the speice regulations of the
Treasury Department have been violated, and that mostly by the Jews and
other unprincipled traders. So well satisfied have I been of this that
I instructed the commanding officer at Columbus to refuse all permits to
Jews to come South, and I have frequently had them expelled from the Department,
but they come in with their carpet-sacks in spite of all that can be done
to prevent it. The Jews seem to be privileged class that can travel everywhere.
They will land at any wood-yard on the river and make their way through
the country. If not permitted to buy cotton themselves they will act as
agents for some one else, who will be at a military post with a Treasury
permit to receive cotton and pay for it in gold.
-
- There is but one way that I know of to reach this case;
that is, for Government to buy all the cotton at a fixed rate and send
it to Cairo, Saint Louis, or some other point to be sold. Then all traders
(they
-
- are a curse to the army) might be expelled.

-
- The Jews, as a class violating every regulation of trade
established by the Treasury Department and also department orders, are
hereby expelled from the department within twenty-four hours from the receipt
of this order.
-
- Post commanders will see that all of this class of people
be furnished passes and required to leave, and any one returning after
such notification will be arrested and held in confinement until an opportunity
occurs of sending them out as prisoners, unless furnished with permit from
headquarters.
-
- No passes will be given these people to visit headquarters
for the purpose of making personal application for trade permits.

- President of the United States:
-
- General Orders, No 11, issued by General Grant at Oxford,
Miss., December the 17th, commands all post commanders to expell all Jews,
without distinction, within twenty-four hours, from his entire department.
The undersigned, good and loyal citizens of the United States and residents
of this town for many years, engaged in legitimate business as merchants,
feel greatly insulted and outraged by this inhuman order, the carring out
of which would be the grossest violation of the Constitution and our rights
as good citizens under it, and would place us, besides a large number of
other Jewish families of this town, as outlaws before the whole world.
We respectfully ask your immediate attention to this enormous outrage on
all law and humanity, and pray for your effectual and immediate interposition.
We would respectfully refer you to the post commander and post adjutant
as to our loyalty, and to all respectable citizens of this community as
to our standing as citizens and merchants. We respectfully ask for immediate
instructions to be sent to the commander of this post.

-
- GENERAL : The President has directed that so much of
Arkansas as you may desire to control be temporarily attached to your department.
This will give you control of both banks of the river.
-
- In your operations down the Mississippi you must not
rely too confidently upon any direct co-operation of General Banks and
the lower flotilla, as it is possible that they may not be able to pass
or reduce Port Hudson. They, however, will do everything in their power
to form a junction with you at Vicksburg. If they should not be able to
effect this, they will at least occupy a portion of the enemy's forces
and prevent them from re-enforcing Vicksburg. I hope, however, that they
will do still better and be able to join you.
-
- It may be proper to give you some explanation of the
revocation of your order expelling all Jews from your department. The President
has no objection to your expelling traitors and Jew peddlers, which, I
suppose, was the object of your order; but, as it in terms proscribed an
entire religious class, some of whom are fighting in our ranks, the President
deemed it necessary to revoke it.

- Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
