indubitable evidence that Jeff. Davis, Clement C. Clay, Jacob Thompson, George N. Sanders, Beverly Tucker, and W. C. Cleary incited and concerted the assassination of Mr. Lincoln and the attempted assassination of Mr. Seward. He therefore officers for the arrest of Davis, Clay, and Thompson $100,000 each; for Sanders and Tucker, $25,000 each; and for Cleary, $10,000. Publish this in hand-bill; circulate everywhere, and urge the greatest possible activity in the pursuit.

(Via Atlanta, through Colonel Eggleston.)

Your letter of the 5th is just received. I can put 3,000 men to work on the railroad in a few days, in addition to what the Georgia authorities can and will do. The road can be repaired in about thirty days. A bridge is already framed for the Chattahoochee River. I will do all in my power to meet you be getting out ties, laying track, and building bridges. Tools will be needed, but how many, I don't know. Everything is on the lookout for J. D. His cavalry escort is dissolved and he a fugitive, but in what direction is not known. Please assist my people in bringing a mail for the command.
