other supplies to persons and parties in those
States in open insure elton against the copstitu

1t becomes my duty, therefore, to instruct you
to cause careful examination to be made of the

the vessel and to Ietan the same in your custody
until all such articles shall be removed thereirOm,
and for further proceedings according to law.
You will also make careful examination o! all
fat boats and water craft without maIitests, and
of railroad cars and other vehicles, arriving at or

innate destination of which you have good reason
to believe is tor any port or place under insurrec-

In carving out these instructions, you will bear
in mind that all persons parties in armed insur-
