Columbus Ky July 26th 1864- To His Excellency Richard Yates, Governor of the State of Illinois, As a citizen of Chicago, Illinois, I take the liberty of stating to you some of the grievances suffered by me at the hands of the ruling military authorities at this Post. On the 30th day of March last I was arrested and imprisoned in the Military Prison at this Post, by order of Col Wm H. Lawrence Commander of the Post and Colonel of the 34th New Jersey Regt, and therein confined for the space of twenty two days when I was released by order of Gen Brayman on a Bond of two thousand dollars conditioned that I should not leave the City of Columbus without permission of the General Comd'g, In compliance with this order and Bond I am still held a prisoner at this Post. The cause of my Imprisonment as above set forth I am unable to state. I have repeatedly and from the first asked for charges, for a hearing, or trial and for the privilege of Bail. All have hitherto been denied me although nearly four months have elapsed since my first imprisonment and I know of no cause for the treatment I have received other than <hr /> the prejudice and malice of the said Col Lawrence towards me incured by my having defended as an Attorney several of the Officers of the said Colonel's Regt whom he has deemed it his duty to have arrested and Court Martialed. In addition to this I was accounted by the said Colonel, a friend of Capt J H Williams, formerly Pro Marshal of this District ags whom the said Colonel was strongly prejudiced. And who together with several others, Soldiers and citizens were arrested at the same time, and against whom, except the said Capt Williams, no charges have been prefered. For the space of more than two weeks my wife then in Columbus was not permitted to see me and not at all until an order to that effect was obtained from Gen Brayman. At the expiration of Seventeen days of my Imprisonment the said Col Lawrence sent a messenger to me, in prison, who most gravely informed me that the said Colonel had said to him that he had procured enough evidence against me and the said Capt to send us both to the Penitentiary, but if I would come out of prison and tell all that I knew agst the said Capt it should be kept a secret and I should be released. In reply I stated that I would willingly tell all that I knew ags the said Capt Williams, but stating at the same time that I knew nothing criminal agt him, but I would answer fully faithfully and truly concerning any matter about which he might inquire and <hr /> further that if the said Colonel would give me a hearing I would convince him I was guilty of no crime and ought not to be imprisoned. To this proposal on my part the said Colonel gave no attention and I was still kept in prison until released as aforesaid. For about ten months previous to my Imprisonment I had as a Lawyer practised in the different Military Courts in Session at this Post, and always with the assent and approval of the Courts and the Military Authorities of the District including Gen A J Smith Gen Asboth & Major Rowley formerly Dist Pro Marshal. I am now and always have been an unconditional Union man. I have done no disloyal act and have done much to aid the Union cause by way of recruiting and otherwise. In proof of my character & history in this regard I would refer you to Col Hinchbach of your Staff, Col Salomon, Hon I N Arnold and Elliott Anthony or any other loyal man of Chicago who knows me. Since the issuing of the above mentioned order by Gen Brayman giving me the limits of the Post---I have been wholly unable to obtain any action in my case on the part of the Military Authorities of this District. Gen [Prince?] the Successor to Gen Brayman has wholly refused to act in the case. It is painfully humiliating to a loyal citizen to to recount such grievances and indignities at the hands of the Military Authorities of his country. <hr /> Such treatment naturally presupposes some great crime. I solemnly aver that I am wholly innocent of any---but I am still held a prisoner "a criminal without a crime" an accusation or an accuser. I can learn of no one who complains of having been wronged or injured by me. I have been condemned without a hearing and punished without a trial. In the hope of obtaining at least tardy Justice at the hands of the Military Authorities of this District I have waited thus long before appealing to you. By a fair trial I am certain of an aquital For the sake of a reputation which I have kept hitherto without the stain of reproach I desire most of all such a trial. To this I am entitled, rightfully and lawfully,- If by your high position and deservedly great influence with the higher Authorities of our Government you can obtain for me a trial and if not an immediate trial my Release, on Bail if need be, to meet any charges which shall in future be prefered, you will confer a good favor on a loyal and injured citizen of your State.

Chattanooga Tenn July 27 1864 Gov Rich Yates, Dear Governor, From the papers I learn the Governor of Ohio under the last call of the President for troops proposes to form Twenty new regiments of Infantry. Not knowing what will be your system or policy with reference to the quota from our State I venture upon this communication. I will not presume upon giving advice nor would I ask the humble privilege of even making Suggestions but hope to be allowed to express my own views. Allow me to say in the beginning that I have long been thoroughly convinced that our old System of recruiting has been very fatal to the interests of our army & country. Volunteering is the proper plan of forming an army when the war fever is high and the great national heart beats quick with a zealous patriotism but when the first <hr /> ardour is over and the army is formed then keep its ranks full by a sure unerring certain swift and merciless draft. That old commutation clause (now happily repealed) was as useless as it was weak and unmanly. Then let us have the draft and let it fall upon all all alike---make every Section and every one bear the proper burden. I hope too it will not be our policy to form another new regiment---no not one. We have now in the field one hundred skeleton regiments! About half this number are Veteran organizations. Let their ranks be filled to the minimum at least, that those proud Stern gallant old regiments that have Shed so much lustre on our fair State, may hold their organizations and perpetuate their illustrious histories and glorious records of valor and virtuous renown. I ask this, in part, for the brave old 21st. I think the regiment that has given to the Country a Lieut General, and that has achieved glorious results by its determined and unflenching Courage and Self-Sacrificing patriotism ought to have some favors shown it, <hr /> though it never received any heretofore. It now has about Two hundred and Twenty men being nearly Two hundred veterans. It yet holds its organization but unless it obtains recruits will not be able to do so very long, for there will not be enough left to compose the Color-guard. There are enough men for two full companies. Then why not send it 6 or 8 full and organized Companies of one or two years men and then again will be such a regiment as followed Col Grant from Springfield July 3d 1861! These Veteran regts have the pledge of the government that they shall hold their organizations while they have men enough to carry the Colors! This is one of the principal considerations of their reenlistment. Then would it not be economical and justice and encouragement to the brave fellows to fill up their ranks? I ask this much as an old soldier, believing it to be the true interest of our government to do so. I have no personal interest in this matter other than that of patriotism and love of justice My time having expired and my health failing I left the front on the 28th of June and am now in Chattanooga on temporary duty. <hr /> I am getting my papers in order and will very soon leave the Service. By reference to the politics of our Dist I suppose I will soon be a candidate for the Legislature I have been asked to accept the nomination and under the circumstances have concluded it was proper to do so and I am advised that I will be nominated when our convention meets at Mattoon Ills on the 3d day of next month. Something more than a month since I sent you a recommendation to commission 1st Asst Surg. James L.[Reat?] of my regiment in the position of Surgeon of Same regt vice Eden M. Seeley resigned. Has there yet been any action taken in this case. If you see proper please address me at Chattanooga, don't give regiment as the letter would then go to the regiment in field. Hoping you may ever succeed in all your public aspirations and especially at our next election. I have the honor to be Your Obt Servt and Devoted friend JE Callaway Maj 21st Ills Inf Ansd File (Senatorial) <hr /> JE Calaway Coles County Ill July 27. 1864 Urges certain swift and merciless draft, wishes the one hundred skeleton regt filled by drafting and no new regiments formed.

Chattanooga Tenn July 27 1864 Gov Rich Yates, Dear Governor, From the papers I learn the Governor of Ohio under the last call of the President for troops proposes to form Twenty new regiments of Infantry. Not knowing what will be your system or policy with reference to the quota from our State I venture upon this communication. I will not presume upon giving advice nor would I ask the humble privilege of even making Suggestions but hope to be allowed to express my own views. Allow me to say in the beginning that I have long been thoroughly convinced that our old System of recruiting has been very fatal to the interests of our army & country. Volunteering is the proper plan of forming an army when the war fever is high and the great national heart beats quick with a zealous patriotism but when the first <hr /> ardour is over and the army is formed then keep its ranks full by a sure unerring certain swift and merciless draft. That old commutation clause (now happily repealed) was as useless as it was weak and unmanly. Then let us have the draft and let it fall upon all all alike---make every Section and every one bear the proper burden. I hope too it will not be our policy to form another new regiment---no not one. We have now in the field one hundred skeleton regiments! About half this number are Veteran organizations. Let their ranks be filled to the minimum at least, that those proud Stern gallant old regiments that have Shed so much lustre on our fair State, may hold their organizations and perpetuate their illustrious histories and glorious records of valor and virtuous renown. I ask this, in part, for the brave old 21st. I think the regiment that has given to the Country a Lieut General, and that has achieved glorious results by its determined and unflenching Courage and Self-Sacrificing patriotism ought to have some favors shown it, <hr /> though it never received any heretofore. It now has about Two hundred and Twenty men being nearly Two hundred veterans. It yet holds its organization but unless it obtains recruits will not be able to do so very long, for there will not be enough left to compose the Color-guard. There are enough men for two full companies. Then why not send it 6 or 8 full and organized Companies of one or two years men and then again will be such a regiment as followed Col Grant from Springfield July 3d 1861! These Veteran regts have the pledge of the government that they shall hold their organizations while they have men enough to carry the Colors! This is one of the principal considerations of their reenlistment. Then would it not be economical and justice and encouragement to the brave fellows to fill up their ranks? I ask this much as an old soldier, believing it to be the true interest of our government to do so. I have no personal interest in this matter other than that of patriotism and love of justice My time having expired and my health failing I left the front on the 28th of June and am now in Chattanooga on temporary duty. <hr /> I am getting my papers in order and will very soon leave the Service. By reference to the politics of our Dist I suppose I will soon be a candidate for the Legislature I have been asked to accept the nomination and under the circumstances have concluded it was proper to do so and I am advised that I will be nominated when our convention meets at Mattoon Ills on the 3d day of next month. Something more than a month since I sent you a recommendation to commission 1st Asst Surg. James L.[Reat?] of my regiment in the position of Surgeon of Same regt vice Eden M. Seeley resigned. Has there yet been any action taken in this case. If you see proper please address me at Chattanooga, don't give regiment as the letter would then go to the regiment in field. Hoping you may ever succeed in all your public aspirations and especially at our next election. I have the honor to be Your Obt Servt and Devoted friend JE Callaway Maj 21st Ills Inf Ansd File (Senatorial) <hr /> JE Calaway Coles County Ill July 27. 1864 Urges certain swift and merciless draft, wishes the one hundred skeleton regt filled by drafting and no new regiments formed.

Sir: The undersigned Officers of Illinois Regiments now serving in the Department of the Cumberland disclaiming any desire to interfere with your privileges as Governor, or any intention to doubt your patriotism or watchful care for the interests of our soldiers in the field, beg respectfully to submit for the consideration of your Excellency, the following considerations touching the disposition to be made of the troops about to be raised in our State under the late call of the President. it seems to us that it is all important that the new troops should be disposed of as to make them available at the earliest practicable moment. Our Country need men at once. Will it be wise to organize as is being done in some States, new regiments waste the precious time that will necessarily be wasted in such organization, when by assigning <hr /> these new men to regiments in the field, you place them under officers of experience and at once surround them with experienced comrades, who can teach them how to cook, sleep, march and fight, whilst you strengthen and encourage the Veteran Soldiers by filling the broken ranks of his regiment. As you are aware the Illinois regiments now in the field are very much depleted, the Veteran regiments adding to the depletion caused by the accidents of the service - those of their original members who did not re-enlist.
