our guards can prevent it. There is a Board of Trade established to regulate what goods are authorized to be received and who are authorized to sell.
I think it will be neccessary also to establish some sort of court to settle private claims. When a direct channel for mails is opened I will submit to you a copy of all orders published for the government of the City.
I would again urge the importance of having here one division of the army of the Tenn, ordered from Corinth.

MAJOR GENL H W HALLECK.
CORINTH, MISS
News has just been received from Commodore Farragut. 1 Gun Boats have left here to co-operate in the attack on Vicksburgh. A land force of 13,000 is said to be up from New Orleans. One if not two Gun boats will be here in the morning from mouth of White river. I have sent a force from here and thus again opened
telegraph communication. Will endeavor to keep it so. I have written and telegraphed via Columbus, Ky.
Very Respcty
