The cavalry unit fought at the battle of Iuka (September 19, 1862) and continued to fight in Mississippi as well as Alabama and Tennessee. Covers from Missouri Confederate units are uncommon and prized by collectors.In Missouri, the conflicts of unconditional Unionists, conservative Unionists, and Secessionists produced unusual turbulence and governmental confusion. Civil war soon resulted in the state, culminating in the battles of Wilson Creek (August 10, 1861) and Pea Ridge (March 6-8, 1862), in which the Missouri Secessionists were severely defeated. Although Unionist forces gained possession of the state, neighborhood war, bushwhacking, sniping and guerrilla fighting became rampant in Missouri. To combat the disorder, portions of the state were placed under martial law. Military courts were kept busy with cases of civilians tried for bridge burning, tearing up railway and telegraph lines, and like offenses. The division of sentiment in Missouri is illustrated by the fact that 109,000 men were furnished to the Union army while 30,000 fought for the Confederacy.

10			Confederacy, (Military Related) Lieutenant Colonel Bradley Tyler Johnson.

Estimate $300 - 400. The 1st Maryland was assembled in Winchester, Virginia, during the early summer of 1861 with about 600 men. It fought in General Elzey's Brigade and was active at First Manassas, in General Stonewall Jackson's Shenandoah Valley Campaign, and the Seven Days' Battle. Because of heavy losses, the 1st Maryland was disbanded at Gordensville, Virginia, on August 11, 1862. Johnson continued to serve in key positions throughout the war and was promoted to Brigadier General on June 25, 1864. He survived the great conflict and went on to practice law in Richmond, Virginia, and later served fours years in the Virginia State Senate. Brigadier General Johnson died in 1903.Even though Maryland was not a part of the Confederacy, there were eight Maryland units in the Confederate Army: 1st Infantry Regiment, 1st Artillery Company 2nd Infantry Regiment, 2nd Artillery Company 1st Cavalry Regiment, 3rd Artillery Company 2nd Cavalry Battalion, 4th Artillery Company The total number of men that were in these eight units is estimated around 2,600. Because the families of most of these men lived in Federally controlled Maryland, the soldiers' ability to regularly exchange letters with their love ones was impossible. This coupled with the small number of troops explains why Confederate covers to and from these Maryland units are very scarce and prized by collectors.

Estimate $3,000 - 4,000. This cover was mailed to Huntington, Long Island (New York), soon after Arkansas seceded. Because of the close relationship and interdependence of the Indian Nations postal system to the Arkansas postal system, it is considered an "Independent State Usage".For the first fifty years of its existence "Indian Territory" post offices functioned under a U.S. Post Office Department administrative attachment to Arkansas (territory and state). This resulted in the designation "Ark" appearing in many Indian Nation postmarks as late as 1880. The Fort Smith, Arkansas, post office was the hub for much of the mail from the Indian Nations. In light of the impending Civil War, the Union withdrew all their military forces on May 4, 1861, from the Indian Nations to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. On May 6, 1861, Arkansas seceded from the Union. Fortunately, the letter, written by a female missionary teacher at the "Spencer (Academy, Choctaw Nation)/May 1, 1861", has remained with the cover, and includes some interesting comments on secession and the current state of the postal system of the Indian Nations. For example:"…we are afraid the mails will stop. We had word from the P.O. on Monday that we need not send down any more letters as the mails had cededed (sic) but the Ft. Smith mail has come down & is here tonight & so I will write for fear this will be my last chance.""Remember us with much love to all our friends. Tell Mother her letter I cannot answer tonight for it is now eleven o'clock if she don't here (sic) from us soon tell her we have seceded."A UNIQUE ITEM OF THE HIGHEST RARITY. .

Kohn (Pictured in Monroe Book, pg. 55); signed Brian Green stating there are three known of the Shepherdstown postmark and the Middleway is the listing example. Estimate $500 - 750. This Sheperdstown cover is quite unusual for two reasons: First, the town name in the circular date stamp is misspelled "Sheperdstown". Secondly, it is a turned cover usage.

Scott No. 18XU1 $7,500. THE FINEST OF THE THREE RECORDED COVERS SHOWING CONJUNCTIVE USE OF THE COLUMBIA PROVISIONAL AND GENERAL ISSUE -- THIS IS THE ONLY ONE OF THESE FRANKINGS FOR THE NEW 1862 RATE.There are three recorded covers with the Columbia provisional used in combination with a General Issue stamp. Each of the other two covers has a 5¢ Green Hoyer & Ludwig stamp applied to uprate the provisional entire before the July 1, 1862, rate change. Another cover exists with the 5¢ stamp affixed over the provisional, but the latter served no postal duty. This cover is the only Columbia provisional used with a 5¢ Richmond Local Print stamp, and it is the only one used after the July 1st rate change. The September 1 (1862) date and absence of a due marking indicate Columbia's acceptance of the old provisional entire as part of the 10¢ rate.Only a small handful of covers with combinations of Confederate provisionals (either adhesive or handstamped) and General Issue stamps to prepay postage are known to exist. In our opinion, these combination frankings are significant and quite undervalued. .

Scott No. 1 Estimate $1,000 - 1,500. This is a nice example of the scarce combination of a Southern Express Company handstamp and a Confederate general issue stamp.Before the Civil War, private express firms such as Adams Express, Harnden's Express, and many other well-known companies had provided mail and freight services for many years. Private carriage of the mails had long been permitted under United States postal regulations as long as all federal postal charges were paid. However, on August 26, 1861, all private express companies were prohibited by the United States authorities from providing "across-the-lines" carrier service, i.e. North to South and South to North. Adams Express Company was the largest express company operating in the South prior to the Civil War. When the order came to stop mail service "across-the-Iines", sixteen Southern offices of Adams Express were taken over by the Southern Express Company which was organized for this purpose. The "new" company continued to provide express carrier services within the South and did most of the express business in the Confederacy. Because many Southern Express Company covers were used for local delivery or inter-office business, Confederate stamps or rate markings combined with the company's office handstamp are quite scarce.

Scott No. 1+7 Estimate $500 - 750. There were very infrequent occasions when Confederate Post Office patrons used a combination of two or more different general issue stamps to prepay the required postage rate for an envelope. They sometimes did so just to use up an older stamp that they owned or, more likely, the local Post Office ran short of certain stamps and asked their patrons to use a combination of general issue stamps that it currently had on hand.

If a newspaper was being published locally, the town's Confederate Post Office would advertise the name of an addressee of any letter that was not been picked up in a timely manner. The hope was that the addressee would see his or her name in the newspaper and go to the Post Office to get the letter. The Post Office charged 2 cents to the addressee for advertising their letter in the newspaper. Advertised covers in general are quite scarce.

THE 2¢ GREEN GUTTER MULTIPLES ARE EXCEEDINGLY RARE, ONLY TWO EXAMPLES ARE KNOWN TO EXIST, BOTH IN STRIPS OF 5, PAYING THE 10¢ LETTER RATE.The Confederate Congressional Act of February 23, 1861, prescribed a 2¢ special rate for "letters placed in any post office, not for transmission but for delivery only" (drop letters) and "for newspapers, unsealed circulars, handbills, engravings, pamphlets, periodicals and magazines, not exceeding three ounces in weight." The first stamp issued to satisfy the 2¢ special rate was the Hoyer & Ludwig 2¢ green lithograph, which has the portrait of Andrew Jackson. Approximately 2,000,000 of these stamps were issued; the earliest known date of usage is March 21, 1862. When the general postage rate for a regular letter was increased from 5¢ to 10¢ on July 1, 1862, some Confederate postal customers used a strip of five 2¢ stamps to prepay the new 10¢ rate. Such usage is extremely rare. Lieutenant Carter was a member of a cavalry unit locally known as the "Minden Rangers, Louisiana Squadron" which was a part of Brigadier General Frank Crawford Armstrong's Cavalry Brigade in the Army of the West. Also, he was at one time a member of General Albert Rust's personal escort. Later in the war, he was attached to Company E, 18th Regiment, Tennessee Cavalry.

80		4	Confederacy, 1862, 5¢ Blue. Horiz. pair, four large margins, tiny bit of gum staining in left margin, affixed on cover from the Louisiana Relief Committee to Mobile, the pair was affixed in New Orleans and smuggled out of New Orleans and placed in the mails at Mobile and tied by "Mobile, Ala./Nov. 2, 1863" double circle postmarks, the cover with the unmistakable "(La. Com.)" endorsement on the upper left of the envelope, reverse shows some penciled numerical columns, but hidden underneath them is a partially faded and difficult to read pen notation at center that is likely the censor marking of Provost Marshal Jules Denis, flap missing, Extremely Fine and rare, featured in Oct. 2009 ASDA Magazine (Pictured in Monroe Book, pg. 57). Scott No. 4 Estimate $3,000 - 4,000. In May 1863, General Nathaniel P. Banks ordered the deportation of all New Orleans citizens who had refused to take the oath of allegiance to the United States. Approximately 700 families moved to Mobile, Alabama, some with only the clothes on their backs. On May 31, 1863, a group of expatriate New Orleans citizens in Mobile organized a Louisiana Relief Committee to alleviate the suffering of poor citizens who remained in Union-occupied New Orleans. They arranged for shipments of food and clothing to New Orleans, and helped citizens leave New Orleans for the Confederacy. The Committee also assumed the job of handling their mail between New Orleans and Mobile by smuggling letters in small vessels along the Mississippi Sound. Covers so transmitted are very coveted by Confederate philatelists as there are fewer than twenty known. The addressee is "T.H. Higinbotham, Esq., Mobile", which makes this usage an overpaid drop letter (proper rate was 2 cents). Apparently, the Committee paid the postage on such letters as a favor to the senders. Many are found with the proper 2¢ Mobile to Mobile local drop rate, but there are also a number like this cover that bore the standard rate of 10¢ between towns. The stamps likely originated in New Orleans to pay the proper 10¢ rate from New Orleans to Mobile. Covers bearing 5¢ lithographs are quite scarce, as the common Confederate stamps in circulation in late 1863 were the 10¢ engraved issues. First sergeant Higinbotham survived the war and surrendered to Union forces at Citronelle, Alabama, on May 4, 1865, and was shortly thereafter paroled at Meridian, Mississippi. The Louisiana Relief Committee ceased operations in early September 1864.

Scott No. 4b Estimate $400 - 600. The folded letter is from Assistant Surgeon N. H. Wynekoop, 15th Texas Dismounted Cavalry Regiment, to his wife in Spring Hill, Navarro County, Texas. In his letter he describes camp life, the impossibility of getting a furlough, and his desire to have a photograph made of himself to send to her. Interestingly, Assistant Surgeon Wynekoop uses the term "my likeness" to describe what we now commonly call a "photograph". In addition, he briefly mentions the following Confederate field officers: Colonel Johnson - 14th Texas Cavalry RegimentColonel Nelson - 10th Texas Infantry RegimentColonel Parsons - 12th Texas Cavalry Regiment Assistant Surgeon Wynekoop was mortally wounded while attending casualties in the Fort Hindman hospital during the Battle of Arkansas Post. This battle was fought January 10-11, 1863, and resulted in a Union victory. Over 4,500 Confederate prisoners were taken including the entire 15th Texas Dismounted Cavalry Regiment.

Duggas, Macon "Station", Marengo Co., Alabama.", cover with manuscript "Per Steamer Marengo" endorsement, inside of cover professionally silked with small mended tear at top left, Very Fine and rare (Pictured in Monroe Book, pg. 56). Scott No. 5 Estimate $750 - 1,000. Often a packet or steamboat operating on an inland waterway provided the fastest and sometimes only means of transportation and communication. Not surprisingly, there are 61 known Confederate packet and steamboat handstamped or manuscript markings listed in The New Dietz Confederate States Catalog and Handbook. The "Marengo" probably picked up the letter at a community or plantation while it was enroute for Demopolis. Upon arrival at Demopolis, the letter was deposited at the post office where it was postmarked and routed to Macon "Station" on the Alabama and Mississippi Rivers Railroad. The New Dietz does not include the "Marengo" in its inventory of Confederate packet and steamboat markings, nor does it list any packet or steamboat usage connected with the 10c rose. Consequently, this is the only recorded cover carried by the "Marengo" and the only known steamboat/packet use of the 10¢ rose. Refer to the September-October 1993 issue of The Confederate Philatelist (pages 184-186) which featured this unique cover.

The company's nearest office to Glenn Springs was Columbia, South Carolina, so the telegram was evidently wired to that location, written up and promptly mailed to the recipient. Mrs. C. E. Winsmith. The sender is most likely Captain J. C. Winsmith who was wounded in the right shoulder at Fort Harrison, Virginia, on September 30,1864. Captain Winsmith is possibly notifying his family of the wound and his convalescing at General Hospital #4 in Richmond, Virginia. He survived the wound (his second) and was discharged on October 26, 1864. A postally used, Southern Express Company imprinted telegraph envelope is very scarce.
