INTERCOURSE WITH THE REBELS.
PCstmaserGener Blair, in response 10 an iuqui.y
on the subject saws lie has neither the power to inter
dict nor to suspend intercourse between the oya and
rebelous States by private expresses or otherwise.

exercise it, correspondence between the insurgents

lection of the revenues OF tho Department from fraud
by the conveyance Of this oircUtous correspondence

ally done in the eet forth in his letter on the

the 10th inst declared that all commercial intercourse
between the in5ureent States and the people thereof
and the loya States is unlawful 1t IL presumed that
stucous will be issuod by the Treasury Deparm
for The due enforcenen Of this declaration ard that the
abuse Of which you complain will be ehectually sup
