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. Hoping that you will give this matter your earliest attention I am Your very Respectfully F Wallace Dept Provo Marshal 11th Dist Ills and Dept U S Marshall for the Southren Dist <hr /> with F. Wallace letter 8/16/64 Vandalia Ills Aug 16th 1864. Gov Yates, We cordially endorse the statements made in the enclosed letter by Dep. Marshal Wallace, and hope the suggestions of the same will be attended to at the Earliest moment practicable. E. Capps <hr /> Wallace F Depty Pro Mar Vandalia Ill Aug 16, 1864 States that a Copperhead Company has been organized there. That they are some of them Clingman men. their Capt is E. M. Vance. Does not wish any arms furnished them. Answer to feel easy on this point. Answered as directed Aug 23 1864 Status The current transcription status of a document or a page.

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. Hoping that you will give this matter your earliest attention I am Your very Respectfully F Wallace Dept Provo Marshal 11th Dist Ills and Dept U S Marshall for the Southren Dist <hr /> with F. Wallace letter 8/16/64 Vandalia Ills Aug 16th 1864. Gov Yates, We cordially endorse the statements made in the enclosed letter by Dep. Marshal Wallace, and hope the suggestions of the same will be attended to at the Earliest moment practicable. E. Capps <hr /> Wallace F Depty Pro Mar Vandalia Ill Aug 16, 1864 States that a Copperhead Company has been organized there. That they are some of them Clingman men. their Capt is E. M. Vance. Does not wish any arms furnished them. Answer to feel easy on this point. Answered as directed Aug 23 1864 Status The current transcription status of a document or a page.

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. Rockwell is still with me. I have had two clerks married recently---and I think R. is trapped by a beautiful Virginia damsel Yours truly J. M. Lucas Hon. R. Yates Governor of Illinois Springfield Illinois <hr /> Lucas, J. M. Portsmouth Va. Aug 16th 1864. Wishes to come home during the month of October to assist in the political campaign. thinks he could be of service to the Governor.

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. Rockwell is still with me. I have had two clerks married recently---and I think R. is trapped by a beautiful Virginia damsel Yours truly J. M. Lucas Hon. R.
