No 6 Jefferson City Mo Oct 29 1862
General Loan, Lexington, Mo.
Sample Orr made a
blazing secession speech here last night -
denouncing your assessments in this District
as unconstitunional, in violation of law, and
the peoples rights. The President's proclamation
was wrong, he expected to resist it, denounced
the suspension of the Habeas Corpus act, the law
enabling states to free their slaves was wrong
and unjust, that the government must be
just before it should be generous. Lt Col
Bruns was present also Captains Johnson, Stieneger
and Flesch, Messrs CLoney Richardson, Miller
and Dr Cuney all of whom will certify to the
facts. I have directed him (Orr) to remain in
Jefferson Col Bruns & Maj White advised this
course. Is my action approved? Please
answer at once, for he (Orr) may recieve permission
to leave from St Louis. H. M. Sumner
Lieut & AAAG.
