CORRESPONDENCE, ETC.-UNION.
HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF THE SOUTH,
March 27, 1865.
Rear-Admiral DAHLGREN,
Commanding South Atlantic Blockading Squadron:
ADMIRAL: I have to inform you that on or about the 8th of next
month I expect to receive over 5,000 prisoners at Darien, Ga., and if not
incompatible with the interests of the naval service on this coast I would
like to have a couple of gun-boats in the Altamaha River near Darien
at that time.
I am, sir, respectfully, your obedient servant,
Q. A. GILLMORE,
Major-General of Volunteers.
CITY POINT, VA., March 28, 1865.
(Received 2.20 p. m.)
Hon. SECRETARY OF WAR:
After your explanation I think it is little or no difference whether
the Fort Sumter ceremony takes place on the 13th or 14th. General
Sherman tells me he is well acquainted with James Yeatman, and that
he thinks him almost the best man in the country for anything he will
undertake.
A. LINCOLN.
WAR DEPARTMENT,
Washington City, March 28, 1865.
Hon. GIDEON WELLES,
Navy Department, Secretary, &c.:
SIR: I have the honor to transmit to you a copy of the President's
order* in relation to raising the fag of the United States apon the ruins
of Fort Sumter by Major-General Anderson on the 14th day of April
next. You will observe that the President directs that the naval forces
at Charleston, and their commander on that station, be invited to par-
ticipate in the ceremonies of the occasion. It gives me pleasure through
you to communicate that invitation, and I shall be happy to confer with
you in regard to the ceremonies befitting that occasion, and to have
your aid in directing the respective parts which shall be taken by the
naval and military forces. For that purpose I will have the honor of
calling upon you in half an hour from this time.
Your obedient servant,
EDWIN M. STANTON,
Secretary of War.
FORT MONROE, VA., March 28, 1865-4 p. m.
Hon. EDWIN M. STANTON,
