for it. The facts here stated are known to every intelligent man in
Memphis. What is the remedy for these great and overwhelming evils
Experience shows that there can be but one remedy, and that is total
prohibition of all commercial intercourse with the States in rebellion.
It is therefore ordered, that on and after the 15th day of May, 1864,
the lines of the army at Memphis be closed, and no person will be
permitted to leave the city, except by river, without a special pass
from these headquarters after that date. All l)ersons desirous of com-
ing into the city will be permitted to do so, but should be notified by
the pickets that they will not be allowed to return. All persons who
desire to leave the city to go beyond our lines must do so before the
15th instant.

chase on contract. Horses are being constantly stolen in the State for
rebel use, and in many sections the citizens are anxious to sell their
stock to the Government. I cannot protect the border without a suffi-
cient mounted force. These horses are wanted at once for regiments
already authorized to be mounted by authority of the War Department.
