he firm's name had been changed to that of James H. Lucas & Co. It had also been arranged that anns as in the previous San Francisco firm. Mr. Lucas, Major Turner, and I, agreed to meet in New e resident agents of the St. Louis firm of James H. Lucas & Co. Personally I took rooms at No. 100 Ph in the morning paper, to the effect that James H. Lucas & Co., of St. Louis, had suspended. I wasnded that a man of so much visible wealth as Mr. Lucas should not be engaged in a business subject lost a cent by either of the banking-firms of Lucas, Turner & Co., of San Francisco or New York; bubside, this process became quite rapid, and Mr. Lucas, by making a loan in Philadelphia, was enablousand dollars in the aggregate; so that, at Mr. Lucas's request, I agreed to go out again, to brin on all who were still indebted to the firm of Lucas, Turner & Co. to pay up, or the notes would bend others what to do next. Major Turner and Mr. Lucas, in St. Louis, were willing to do any thing [3 more...]

secure for me the office of president of the Fifth Street Railroad, with a salary of twenty-five hundred dollars; that Mr. Lucas and D. A. January held a controlling interest of stock, would vote for me, and the election would occur in March. Thistters from Major Turner, inviting me to St. Louis, as the place in the Fifth Street Railroad was a sure thing, and that Mr. Lucas would rent me a good house on Locust Street, suitable for my family, for six hundred dollars a year. Mrs. Sherman and I gathered our family and effects together, started for St. Louis March 27th, where we rented of Mr. Lucas the house on Locust Street, between Tenth and Eleventh, and occupied it on the 1st of April. Charles Ewing and John Hunter had formed a lawRegular Infantry, and that I was wanted at Wash ington immediately. Of course I could no longer defer action. I saw Mr. Lucas, Major Turner, and other friends and parties connected with the road, who agreed that I should go on. I left my family,

stice be not done. If the parties named be the men you describe, the fact should not be published, to put them on their guard and thus to encourage their escape. The evidence should be carefully collected, authenticated, and then placed in my hands. But your statement of facts is entirely qualified, in my mind, and loses its force by your negligence of the very simple facts within your reach as to myself: I had been in the army six years in 1846; am not related by blood to any member of Lucas, Turner & Co.; was associated with them in business six years (instead of two); am not colonel of the Fifteenth Infantry, but of the Thirteenth. Your correction, this morning, of the acknowledged error as to General Denver and others, is still erroneous. General Morgan L. Smith did not belong to my command at the battle of Shiloh at all, but he was transferred to my division just before reaching Corinth. I mention these facts in kindness, to show you how wrong it is to speak of persons.

f this Order is said to be considerably over half a million. One hundred and fifty thousand of the whole are organized in New York, and are called McClellan Minute Men. There is the most convincing evidence of the truthfulness of this statement. The reason of the sudden return of Vallandigham to Ohio was the fear of being defeated as a delegate to Chicago, and it was only by his presence that his election was secured. The Grand Commander of Missouri is Charles L. , a nephew of James H. Lucas, and many years the Belgian Consul, and the Deputy Grand Commander, Charles E. Dunn, a city officer of St. Louis. A long list of the names of the members of the Order of the different states, together with full information concerning the whole scheme, is in the hands of the authorities at Washington, and will probably be given to the public in a short time. The statements are based upon very voluminous testimony, taken during several months past by the Provost Marshal General o
