due weight to tho representations which jou
havo submitted to me upon the subject Indues

authorities who were concerned In tho trans
action at New Orleans of which Mr. Hcldslck
complains. But I am unable to announco a
change, on my part, of tho convictions I ba.o
hcrctoiorc expressed to you concerning ins
case
I learn that wheu Xew Orleans was recov
ered from the Insurgents and brought Into mil
itary occupation by tho national forces that
city had a largo quantity of flour bought, paid
for, and stored at Mobile, and the municipal
authorities of New Orlcaus desired permission
to have Iho flour brought to tho city for the
benefit of the Inhabitants threatened with fam
ine The commanding general. Major General
llutlcr, aiscnted to this propositi on, and a gen
eral order was made, to tho effect that a steam
boat might pass from Mobile to New Orleans
for tho purpose of bringing tho flour to tho
latter place, bntnpon tho express consideration
that no passengers should do allowed upon tbo
steamer except Mr Greenwood, the agent of
the city government oi ncj? oneans. in?
Btcamcr Dick Keys was used, and after she
had made three voyages she was put Into the
Insurgent service, and tho Natchez was subst'J
tutod for the transportation of tho flour from
Mobile to New Orleans. About tho end of
June, lSoJ, tho major general discovered thst
contraband commodltle3 wcro carried by means
of this steamer between the Insurgents at Mo
bile and New Orleans, respective!).
Charles Holds' ck wss domiciled at Mobile,
and became tbcro a tc.idcr or waiter at the bar
room of tho truce boat Dick Kevs. on her trip
from that city to Now Orleans. Tbo military
authorities at New Orleans understood that ho
obtained this place through a feigned sickness
of tho Incumbent of It. Mr. Hold slck's posi
tion In society was that of a gentleman and
merchant selling wines, not in ono country
alouo, but cxtenslvcl) In Kuropc, as well as Jo
America, Tho simple fact of his descending
to an occupation so onscuro ana numoio as
that of a bar keener on a mere frelbt-bo.it. v, as
calculated to diawdown suspicion upon him
from mo ncccfsiruy wguam muuary auiuoi.
tic. Ho lrtuslly confesses this: far he an
swers that his purpo'o In taking upon himself
the occupation was to get letters to his address
which ho understood wcro lying in tho French
consulate at New Orleans. This confession is
accompanied with tho statement that ho wished
to obiaiu irom mo occupation tno prons
which could be dorlvod from selling his wines.
