I have not been notified of any charges made by the authorities of the Federal government & against any of the citizens or inhabitants of this State, nor has my consent in any case been asked to make such arrest or removals. If however in its efforts to "attack, pursue and crush" the unholy rebellion now existing it has become necessary to arrest remove from the state and punish, by confinement in the forts of the country or otherwise <hr /> any of the inhabitants or citizens of this State on account of their complicity with the traitors who are seeking to destroy the government of the United States, such proceedings meet my warmest approbation.

First, therefore, we feel the unusual Pressure in businefs in consequence of the present Rebellion against our Great & good Government and in consequence thereof those of us who under more favorable circumstances have involved ourselves in Debt to a greater of lefs degree & now there are perhaps Four-fifths of our Community thus unable to Pay our debts under the present state of affairs. Although our harvests have been abundant the prices of Produce are so extremely low that the amounts realized are insufficient to defray the necessary Expenses of living & the payment of Taxes that are necessary to be paid for the purpose of Putting down this Treasonable rebellion. There are a few Tyranical Capitalists who are purposed to encourage the forced sales of all kinds of property by Law and are anxious to purchase the Same at a Sacrifice of at least Nine-tenths its real value to the holder and are making their boasts that they intend Making their fortunes thus off the many poor honest men who are unable to Extricate themselves from this dilemma in which they are unfortunately placed & no fault of theirs either <hr /> Can there be no remedy for to save the property [illegible] of the many very many poor honest citizens who are toiling day & night through Sunshine & storm to secure themselves homes in this fair State? Why Sir If your honor please through all our Country are to be found those who have Emigrated to this fair and beautiful State which under more favourable circumstances is destined to be (as has been anticipated) styled the Garden of the West Yea & of the world, the very bone & sinew of this great & noble State are they thus to be crushed out in the Spring time of life & these Dishonest Gourmands suffered to accumulate their treasures at the Expense of those who are thus toiling to Support by their Labour the Popular Name of this great State. The Majority of the People would ask for something to be done to Exonerate them from the tenacious hands of those, whom it is their boast that the Law Must take its Course & it is your own misfortune & we are bound to live on the fat of the Land. I am satisfied that there can be procured from at least Four-fifths of our Citizens an assent to have the Legal proceedings for the Collection of debts of a civil nature Stayed for a Season & let us have an opportunity to save our property from the hands of speculators & Capitalists. We do not wish to be exonerated from the payment of our just honest debts nay verily far be it from us; but let us have a chance to live, defray the Expenses of our Government & then when as we fondly anticipate our Glorious Government shall be again restored let us pay our debts and be saved from the curse of being Made Bankrupt as a large portion of our people must necessarily be unlefs there is something done for our relief; we feel that this thing may be looked at by Professional Men at the <hr /> Bar and at the Bench, but Sir this is undoubtedly the voice of the Labouring Clafs of Community the voice of the people who should hold Sovereign all the rights of citizens in Life Liberty & the pursuit of happinefs I may perhaps be trefspasfing on the valuable time of your Honor but I claim that it will be but justice to this important moment of our lives to be heard when the voice of our people would emphatically tell to the above Question I am convinced & can fully assure your Honor that if the thing Could be put in motion a voice would go up from the people that would tell to your Excellency's Satisfaction With these few Broken Suggestions I now hope to hear from you as one who feels deeply the importance of Something of the nature of the above proposition & I presume that Ere long Petitions to this effect will go up from the people to your Honor for the self same purpose I have the Honor to be your humble Solicitor in behalf of Many Citizens D.

Ch. Feb 6 1862 My dear Governor I hope you will not misconstrue my intentions, when I endeavor to keep you posted in regard to the German press.

The Editors of this detestable sheet, who have never pardoned you for daring to oppose their idol N. B.

You, my dear Sir, are aware, how impartially I have endeorvored to settle this "prestiferous" affair,- I know, how good naturedly and patiently you have, in your unbounded generosity of heart, borne with Hecker and his difficulties.- In case Hecker answers to my reply I will see you at Springfield and gather facts for a "finisher." - Let me give you a verbal translation of the comments of the "Staatszeitung: "We believe that the general administration and particularly the administration at Springfield are responsible for all this.

He has had an excellent military education, qualifying him to discharge the duties of the office and as Senior Officer and in fact I may say founder of the Regiment he feels that it would cast a stigma upon his character <hr /> to be passed over in the line of promotion. He feels that in justice he has the strongest claim to succeed to the command of the Regiment, and I being desirous to aid him in an object so earnestly desired by him, solicit from your friendship a favor: The exertion of Your powerful influence should you kindly grant my request to obtain the Colonelcy for him. I make no excuse for thus troubling You, as I am certain you will yourself unasked pardon the urgency of Your sincere friend Jos. Hartmann Pastor Chicago 7/10 A. D. '62. <hr /> Jos. Hartmann, Pastor.

Springfield, Ills. Dear Sir: Your note of Jany. 28th reached me, during the embarkation of my command from Cairo, giving no time for reply. Yours of the 31t came this morning while I was preparing to march upon Fort Henry. I therefore reply in haste. I thank you for the sabres sent. They are not an hour too soon, being needed for this days work. I have also to thank you for the kindness, courtesy and honourable confidence; the timely support, and energetic co-operation, which I have <hr /> received at your hands since I entered the service, and undertook the organization of a Brigade for the field. With respect to the advance of $25,000, made by your order to Capt. James Dunlap, asst Quartermaster, U.S.A. assigned to my Brigade, I will briefly say that the advance at that time was most indispensable, and that the authority given by the President and the orders of me by the Secretary of War, would have been unavailing had it not have been then made. The first [arrangements?] made for the organization of the Brigade, at home, in the midst of supplies, and at convenience, was frustrated by the sudden and unlooked for order of Genl. Freemont, for the transfer of my command <hr /> to Cairo. This could not be done without supplies. [Supplies] could not be had without money. This could not be procured from the United States in time to meet the exigency. You generously, and justly, advanced. To this is due the prompt manner in which it was made possible to obey the order. You did right Sir. You performed a patriotic duty, and if you took any unusual responsibility in doing it, it is as taken in the right [direction?] and safely. The honest explanation of the money has been accounted for, as the returns of the officer expending it will show. I have to thank you personally and officially for doing this thing, and I am confident that you will be sustained by <hr />by all patriotic and honorable men. If at a future time, I can do any thing in explanation if explanation be needed, or in defense, if assailed, I am prepared to stand by you.
