From the "Burlington Hawkeye" out of Cairo (Illinois) July 26, 1864

Col Hicks has been relieved of the command of Paducah.

General Payne has prohibited all persons occupying houses , other buildings, orlands as tenants in the district of West Kentucky from paying rent therefor except to landlords or owners of undeviating loyalty , and after the first of August rents for occupancy of buildings or lands to disloyalists must be paid to the post quartermaster, and no payment of rent to be made to disloyal persons from date of order to August first will be valid.

General Payne also restricted the sale of arms and ammunition to persons in or connected with the army, and to such only as have permits from his headquarters. The purchase of supplies can only be effected by a permit from the surveyor, and merchants can only bring goods into the district by conformity strictly to section 58, of the regulations of the Treasury Department.

A large number of the disloyal citizens of Paducah have been ordered to leave the state immediately.

The notorious guirrella KESTERSON will be shot at Paducah tomorrow.

Gen. Payne has already confiscated to the use of the Government 15 stores belonging to disloyal parties in Paducah.

I wonder which one of our Kesterson's this story is about?
