. Q. A. GILMORE,
-\lhjor-Gencral Opmtnffnding..
Official: Gr. F. McIvay, 1st Lieut, and A. A;
A. Cencrni. ,
1 cannofr, under all tlie circumstances which
surround you, expose yqu to the consequences
which will be produced because of any effort
ou my part?fruitless, if not mischievous, as it
must be?to exercise those functions which you
in your confidence have commitcd to me. Nor
am I willing that, without such consc'quenpcs
to you, while in the Executive Chair of the
Slate, I shall be held forth to the world charged
with crime; without the most positive declaration,
that I am ready to meet and repel it,
whatever and by whomsoever made. . j
In that peculiar condition of our 'affair:,
/ ' ,

k ; . - -j '
-V ' U ,
- JM...
which is now disclosed to you, I feel tii:it niy i
1 duty, whether considered in ivmtrd to myself I
:?s*\'ditr Executive, or to you as a [Atopic wl?ow '
^welfare is den#* to nm, is at uiieo plain and im-"
j>nr:itivo.' I will not introdilc? jvitliiti this |
State discord or contention.' I will not allow j
myself to furnish the'occasion 1 ?y which a single
atorti of suffering can he added to that load ^
which- now weighs so heavily upon vou. I
wtH.not give opportunity lor conllict between
the GOvcrmiicHt of this State and Ihe Governinent
of the United States,.the functions, therefore,
of tl'.c Executive :rre suspended hy me.
from .this ilav. . *
T J if tier other circumstances and At other!
times, I vm.uM pause in dging that widely f j*
now do without hesitation; ami with a perfect
conviction ti-at it is due to you that it should
he doii'!. The exercise of the executive pow-.
or in the pvotfliiniHtiofi of the :id May, litft'l, j
whin!)',was complained of. has been rectified j
and the procbun;rtiori' recalled, 'iicfore" my j
letter Was received containing the explanation I
of the cireunistances, which led to to the prtfo- j
lanmtioii, these 911!ers have been-.i>sued: in :
which, because of "trustworthy Information" of I
'disloyalty*' and "sundry and divers acts of j
treason,\] the functions of the Governor of tl^
State are suspended and his authority denied.
To exercise my functions in the faofe of these,
.orders, is fo invoke force ty sustain nie in opposition
to that which wjll be displayed againstme.
J-Juoli a contest could have. butone?csn!t.
While to tifosc in-the State who would give
their support to-the Executive there roust cufne j
penalties and .suffering without the -possibility 1
of advantage.
Whatever, therefore, may be the ionling
which belongs to me as a man or .a citizen iD
a case like, this ;^vhere qonvietiou precedes the
hcaripg, aud sentence cubes'before the tridl;
I feel that itbecoroes mc to be mindfril of the
considerations which involve your peaces and
affect your welfare. I have s'afd to'you before,
1 say to yoirjiow, the war is overj hostilities
have ceased; and it is your duty to forbear
'opposition which is hopeless-?contest which' is
unavailing?anH reconcile to yourselvcit that
submission which the government oftho United
States can impose, aDd you cinnot resist.
While the considerations which I have now
expressed lead me to this forbearance' ia -the''
exercise of thp fnntions of tlie Executive Department
of the State, I owe it myself, to you,
to the State, the Legislature of which, ^cording
to the constitution of this State,'elected me'
the-Governor of the State, to make my protest
against the power claimed and exercised
by Gen. Gillmore. It 'involves a question \j
which concerns not alone the'State, but all >be
States of the United States. ..'It-affirms nprin- '
ciple which'it is not now necessary for ma#'to
discuss. ; . .
Whatever may be your condition of availing
rcsistencc on your part will but m alee ;it worse.
With an earnestness, ortlie sincerity of wblch
I need not "give j oil assurance, L urge itpon
you the1 resumption of your peaceful pursuits,'
and the adaptation of your yourselves to those
changes which may be made in your condition.
Do not be misled by excitement; give no heed
to passion; deal resolutely with facts; look the
truth calmly in the'face; .spill no more blood; .
accept with the dignity which ever misfortune
'can command, the- condition which you cannot '
avert. # . .
In thus suspending the active exercise of the
duties, of my office, 1 do so with the most earnest
wish that your suffering may soon find
mitigation and relief;' that you may retrieve
the waste and loss-of property which you have
enduied in thejprogress of t?c warf and that
you may experience those blessings, intellectual .
social and moral, which, unckr the favor " of
God wero the great'ends which I .desired to
accomplish. To have succeeded in these wouid
have secujjed to me a reward, the richest and
only inheritance which I could have left to my
childfeH. ' '
With regard to myself, so far as I am affect- '
cd by the charges which are made against me, '
I auj ready to answer to them or aDy of them. '
At any time or place, when or where my 'presence
may be desired or required for invfstiga- j
tion, I shall bfc there, or notified thereof with
r,he lAst.possible d-lay. Whatever I have said, i
I believed to be light.- And with the* con/
