IMPORTANT TO sHiPPERs OF FLOUR, GRAIN, PRODUCE,
PROVISIONS, ETC.
Under the proclamation Of the Federal and
several of the State authorities Of the country,
establishing list Of articles contraband of war
was appointed by Governor Dennison, of Ohio,
come days ago, TO wait upon the shippers oil
-four, grain, produce, aud other articles Of o
contrabapd kind, in Wheeling, and inform them
of the desire of the aforesaid authorities, that
they should not ship any such Articles over the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. | did so TO a
limited extent, and alter doing so, returned word
to Gov. Dennison that, having fulfilled the pri
mary duties of his request, would much pre-
fer that he would exonerate me from further &C
tion, inasmuch as it was commission did no
feel myself competentto carry out, and appoin
! some one whose acquaintance with the shipping
. business would better enable them to secure th'
! interest of the Government. | also stated Il
e the Governor, that | thought 1t expedient 10
him to prepare some general order for publica
: tion at Wheeling, so that all shippers nigh
read it. and govern themselves accordingly. /

/, that no article OF contraband kind, such q

be allowed to go over the Baltimore road an
that il shippers here are known to violate tha
n order, their supplies from Ohio will be cut Of
, as indeed, it is apprehended, all suppliesior tb
y side of the river.
III Under this instruction Il have fclt il my dui
ID to publish this card to the end that one eitl
er thoughtlessly or wilfuly may violate it, al

70 of an embargo. The agent Of the BaltimoI
p road has been notified, aud has assured me
a, will endeavor to carry out the order.
