I beg leave respectfully to represent that I am a loyal citizen of the State of Louisiana and the owner of large lots of cotton situated in Western La and Southern Mississippi, acquired long since in payment of debts & by purchase (as I can show by the proper documents in my possession) and as a citizen of the United States, I ask that the privilege be granted me of bringing my property under my control and disposing of it in such manner as shall be most advantageous, after payment of the Internal Revenue & other taxes, decreed by the General Government. I respectfully request that I be exempted from the 25% duty, inasmuch as this cotton was my property long before the passage of the act that imposed that duty: circumstances beyond my control, having until this time, prevented me from bringing it to market. This cotton has been produced by very many plantations and I ask, in order to prevent my meeting with opposition from the people and to secure their friendly co-operation, that I be allowed to take outside the lines of military occupation, plantation supplies to the extent of Fifty dollars per bale of cotton. Upon that condition depends the getting out of my cotton and the number of bales is such that it would be an object, especially now that the stock on hand in new york is reduced to a two weeks supply. I respectfully represent, what you already know Mr President, that the introduction of supplies for plantations in that section of country can in no way whatever benefit the Southern Army: on the contrary the people becoming holders of U. S Treasury notes by that fact cease to be ennemies. Should you Mr President, see fit to grant my request, I respectfully suggest that I be provided by you, with a document stating your intentions and granting me leave to proceed with one or more small steamboats and barges, beyond the lines of military occupation; authorizing me also to land at any points on the Mississippi River, at my risk, for the purpose of bringing out my cotton and to repeat the trips until all my cotton shall have been brought to market. I leave the matter Mr President in your hands, satisfied that your wisdom and practical sagacity will find means to enable a citizen of the United States to get possession of his property, from its nature liable every day to be lost, especially in the case of a Union man, who though he opposed secession, as far as was in his power has suffered as much as any secessionist. Circumstances have made me the owner of that kind of property and it is not unreasonable I hope to ask that more facilities be granted me than to a Northern man who has lost nothing at home and has acquired or expects to acquire cotton purely for speculating purposes. I am Mr President very respectfully your obedient Servt Fergus Peniston Washington City Septer 5th 1864. Citation Chicago Peniston, Fergus.

Original Format The type of object, such as painting, sculpture, paper, photo, and additional data despatch Text Any textual data included in the document Your despatches Nos. 118, 119, and 120 were received by me on the 21st instant, and yet the contents of 118 and 120 have not, up to this date, been communicated to Mr. Thouvenel. This is owing to the fact that I received notice, on Sunday last, that he would not receive me until Friday next, and I did not feel that the despatches were of a nature to justify a call for a special interview. · In the meantime the Emperor, without application on my part, by a note from his chamberlain, signified to me that he would receive me to-day at 2 p. m. Of course I availed myself of the opportunity, and have just returned from this personal interview. I was most kindly received, and he said at once that he had wished to have a talk with me about cotton, and the prospect of opening our ports. He spoke again of the great inconvenience connected with the existing condition of things, and feared it would not speedily come to an end; that the war might yet be a long one. He referred, too, to the probability of the south's destroying its cotton, &c. These, of course, are old matters, and I refer to them only as coming now directly from his Majesty. In reply, I thanked him for the opportunity of a direct personal conference, and assured him again of the confidence of our government in the early suppression of the insurrection. As to the burning of the cotton I told him that it might be, and doubtless would be, done, to a limited extent, but that little confidence was to be placed, in my judgment, upon the blustering resolutions and loud talk of southern people upon this subject; that I did not doubt, if we got possession of the country, enough of cotton would remain to supply the present European want. I then read to him your despatches 118 and 120. He was aware that an army and fleet were on their way by sea to New Orleans, and asked, if we took that city, whether I thought they would then get a supply of cotton. I told him I had little doubt of it; that you had always represented that when we took possession of the country in which the ports were located the blockade would be removed, I thought that cotton, to a considerable extent, would come forward. I then called his attention particularly to the suggestion in the latter part of your confidential despatch No. 120. I told him we honestly believed that if a proclamation by France and England withdrawing. belligerent rights from that it was the moral support only which that concession had given them that had sustained them so far; that they had always looked to it as a first step towards their final recognition as an independent power. If the concession were withdrawn, I believed, as an equivalent, the blockade would be raised at an early day. He said the concession of belligerent rights was made upon an understanding with England; that some legal questions were involved in it originally, and that he would have to speak to Mr. Thouvenel about them. I called his attention to tHe fact that the confederate flag had been scarcely, if at all, seen in a port of France; that they had almost no commerce upon the ocean and scarcely the pretence of a navy; that the two vessels; (Nashville and Sumter,) which had alone been in European waters, had demeaned themselves as pirates rather than as ships-of-war; that a withdrawal of belligerent rights would, under these circumstances, take from the south no material advantage; it would only deprive them of the countenance and moral support of other nations. The Emperor replied that he must frankly say, when the insurrection broke out aµd this concession of belligerent rights was made, be did not suppose the north would succeed; that it was the general belief of statesmen in Europe that the two sections would never come together again. This belief, he intimated, was· a principal reason why this concession of belligerent rights was then granted. He said now it was a large country, and for that reason difficult to subdue. I told him ( as I had before told Mr. Thouvenel, in answer to the same objection) that we did not need to seize hold of a man's entire body to control him; that if. we grasped firrnly any sensitive extremities it was enough; that he had controlled Russia for the time being by taking possession of Sebastopol. I then called his attention to the few ports in the south, and the effect of seizing and holding them--from the outer world the people of the interior, whose entire surplus industry was devoted to raising articles for export. This advantage, in connexion with the fact of the unquestionable existence of a large Union element in parts of the south, would, I thought, bring· them into the Union again. Without expressing any opinion upon these matters, he said he would think of them, but hoped in the meantime that something would be done by us to relieve the difficulties here growing out of the want of cotton. I have heretofore expressed my earnest and perhaps somewhat urgent wish that this hope may be realized. I am, sir, your obedient servant, WM. L. DAYTON Citation Chicago Dayton, William. William L.

Title A name given to the resource Trading with the Enemy: Cotton Permits, Smuggling, and Speculation in the Civil War Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Alison Burke and Phyllis Plitch Description An account of the resource Throughout the Civil War, President Lincoln and his administration were vexed by the issue of cotton. An essential raw material for industrial enterprise, cotton (and its sudden scarcity) threatened the Union war effort. The letters, newspaper articles, and government records in this collection reveal an administration grappling with the simultaneous need to starve the Confederacy of resources and increase the available supply of cotton. The ultimate solution, a "cotton permit" system, was vulnerable to cronyism and abuse, leading Congress to declare that "it is believed to have led to the prolongation of the war, and to have cost the country thousands of lives and millions upon million in treasure."
