Capps letter 8/16/64 Vandalia Ills Aug 16th 1864. Gov Richard Yates Springfield Ills Sir - An effort is being made in this place under the guidance of certain leaders of the Peace Democracy of the County to organize a Military Company and draw arms from the State. This company numbers over one hundred men and was organized ostensibly for the defence of the town. One E. M. Vance is Captain. The Company is composed altogether of Copperheads some of whom are known to have been in sympathy with Clingman and his gang, and it is generally understood that a large majority of them belong to the secret order that controls the movements of the Democratic party---and that the arms if obtained will be used to resist the draft or against Union men in case of any collision. As there is already a company of Union men organized in this town and who are provided with guns obtained from the State, and it is not yet full it occurs to us that these <hr /> men might attest their good intentions by joining this organization. This however they have refused to do and the Peace party leaders who have opposed the draft and who oppose the administration uniformly of both the State and National Governments, have Engineered and conducted the movement. It is the belief of all the prominent Union men of the town that the arming of this Company will be attended with only evil results and that a number of the men composing it would rather fight with Clingman and his gang than against them. And in the [illegible] of any outbreak they would be found with the bushwhackers plundering and shooting Union men. That you Excellency may take prompt and immediate action in this matter and prevent this Company from obtaining arms is the wish and desire of a large majority of the Union men of the town and county. These men have the endorsement of Col [Remann?] of this place who informs me that he permitted his name to be used without reflection but upon mature consideration he is convinced that the step will only lead to further trouble and possibly a collision between the two political parties.

Shawneetown Ill Aug 16. 1864 To Hon Richd. Yates Govr. of Illinois Dear Sir. We join in a letter with others of our citizens appealing to you as our chief Magistrate to come to our assistance. The letter will give you an idea of the state of things down this way. We feel like orphan children, and unless you hearken to our cry, we Know that we shall get no protection or assistance. By reference to the map, you will see that the border from Paducah Ky to Evansville Ind say 150 miles is more exposed to rebel attack than allmost any other district on the border. We are in the centre of this: as a Navy District it is under the charge of Lieut. Fitch an Indiana man, who seems to think if he protects the Indiana border it is all that is necessary. He stations at the Evansville wharf 3 vessels, to protect a secesh town Henderson he has one, to protect another secesh town Owensboro he has one. then he has one or two more vessels which lay at Paducah and Smithland: Here in Gallatin, Hardin, Pope, Massac, & Pulaski counties in Illinois, left to take care of themselves, poor devils. and more exposed than any where else on the line. <hr /> Aug 16 1864 Mt. Vernon Indiana above us 35 miles, gets a detachment of Uncle Sams blue coats, 6 splendid pieces of Brass Cannon, and for the border of Indiana 75 miles, they have a Regt.

In contrast with this the Illinois border of 75 miles. has not a Gun Boat - not a soldier, not a piece of artillery - furnished by the Government. Our gallant Illinois Boys are sent to the front. this little town, the despised black republican hole as the rebels term us, buys her own artillery, her own ammunition, fights her own battles, and to day flaunts the old stars and stripes in the faces of rebels as defiantly and proudly as the glorious old flag waves from any fortress. We don't know but that it is presumption in us asking anything, but if we thought we were entitled to ask, we would like a few soldiers, or one little Gun Boat: with these we might make proper defense against any infamous traitors who assail us.

Office of Commissary of Subsistence, Portsmouth, Va., August 16, 1864. Dear Yates I would very much like to be in Illinois during the month of October and up to the day of election. I believe that I could be of some service to our friends politically. If, therefore, you think it advisable it can be affected through you and Dick Oglesby, our candidate for Governor. All that is necessary is for you to make the request in the right quarter. If Genl Butler remains in command of this Department, perhaps, a letter from you to him is all that would be necessary, in fact, I am quite sure that your request would be granted with pleasure. I saw Mr. Arnold just before the close of the late session and he remarked that "I must be sure to be home during the coming canvass." I told him that it were impossible for me to leave without authority. he replied "that you could have it arranged without doubt". Of course, Stanton is all powerful in such matters, but, I think his sun is going down, at all events, it seems to be under a cloud. <hr /> Dick, you must be our next Senator, and must have old Morgan with you, and we all know that, it will require the hardest kind of work to redeem her from the thraldom of the "Copper heads", and to assist in this work would be a great pleasure to me, besides, serving friends whom I shall ever hold dear to memory. As for our old friend "Uncle Abe", I fear that he is loosing ground, the tendency of public sentiment is evidently drifting that way, and unless the current is very quickly checked the result will be disastrous. I hope I am mistaken in the signs of the times, I am well satisfied that, Lincoln is in the hands, or rather, he listens, confers, and in a great measure, conforms to the opinions and suggestions of men, more because of their positions than for their good sense. yet, he may not be to blame, for to do otherwise, would be the exception to the almost universal rule of action with men in high positions. But, in my humble judgment, it is the hidden rock upon which so many have been politically wrecked, and to avoid a fate similar he should tack ship, and stear by other charts! <hr /> My kind regards to Mrs. Yates---also to my good friend Judge Berdan & family---not forgetting [Mart?] Cassele. I should be glad to have an answer to this letter with your opinion as to the proposition of my returning home for the time named. It may be that, Lincoln himself would aid in the matter? However, that is for you to decide. I must confess that my faith is a little shaky in that quarter---more especially, since he places in the hands of little popinjays and self conceited fancy boys,---questions of political diplomacy that should require the ablest engineering---by men full grown at least.
