Dongola Union Co Ills January 6, 1863 Hon Gov Yates, Springfield Ills, Sir, You will receive an account of the raids on our orchards by the Secesh. Their plan seems to be to clean out union men by cutting down their orchards. If not checked they will succeed. Fruit growers are union men. You cannot imagine their consternation. We have thought best to suggest to you that you cause a skillful detective to be sent hither to work up a case or so The one of Mr Babcock's is easiest to get at. Mr. Babcock's whole property except the land consisted in his trees He spent immense labor on them-he had the finest trees in the state. One representing himself a deserter will be the man I think he will smoke the thing out in a short time. This is of the utmost importance to the whole of southern Illinois. If you can't do anything let us know to whom we can apply with success. Something must be done or we are gone.

Anna. Union Co. Ill Jan 6. 1863 Hon Richard Yates Governor of Illinois Springfield Ill Sir We find it necessary in consequence of outrages recently committed in this county upon the property of union men to appeal to you for protection. The hatred and fiendish malice of tories or rebel sympathizers in this vicinity is beginning to show itself in open acts of violence such as poisoning horses destroying orchards of young fruit trees and various other acts of which you are probably already aware. The destruction of young orchards belonging in every instance to union men seems now to be the most popular mode of punishment. The outrages are mostly perpetrated by Deserters from the 109th (Nimmo's) Regt Ill Vols: There are some 40 of them in the Eastern part of this county: The property of loyal men is absolutely unsafe while they remain here. What are we to do? Must we tamely submit to have our orchards or other property the result of years of toil destroyed by these vile miscreants in human form some of them but little above the brutes in intelligence and quite as devoid of moral principle. Or must we protect ourselves by retaliating <hr /> and thus bring about such a state of affairs as have been enacted in Missouri. The following is a statement of some of the outrages which have been committed upon the property of union men and these are recent. Evans & Bro at Cobden had 1700 fine peach trees destroyed or nearly so about three weeks ago. --- A. Babcock near Anna 400 very fine apple, peach and pear trees just beginning to bear fruit -- loss heavy -- poor man G. H. Baker at Cobden several hundred fruit trees destroyed by firing dry grass in orchard loss heavy. --- Mr. Wisener near Anna two valuable horses poisoned some two weeks since. Others have been damaged but the above is enough to show that a mania exists for destroying the property of union men. -- Very Respectfully A. Babcock E. Babcock Peter. H. Casper E. H. Finch S. P. Short MD <hr /> A. Babcock & Others Anna Union Co Jan'y. 6th. The Orchards of Union men in Union Co are destroyed by the secefsionests of the county. Wants to know how they can be protected.

"Private & Confidential" Sandoval Jany 12 '63 Gov R Yates Respected Sir I am no alarmist but since the leading tories of this State have held their treasonable meetings at Springfield the secessionists in these parts have become bold & more [impertinent?] than ever and dark hints are thrown out as to what they will do. In my opinion all that there wicked bad men want is the [toscin?] summer by their leaders, and an indiscriminate slaughter would take place of all the leading Union men throughout Southern Illinois. I have talked with many Union men in this vicinity - and they all take the same <hr /> view of matters as I do & honestly think there is mischief brewing. Would it not be well enough to take things in time there is no better point than this [place?] a [illegible[] at [illegible] for a Regt or so to be stationed. The RR as would be the first thing the secessionists would be likely to attack & tear up. Another thing we have no army in this county. Not enough can be [illegible] for even a company. Could not a small [det?] be shipped down in a quiet manner to our P.M. W Edwards Esq he is a true man & would act with discretion. I may be mistaken in all this thing but I see too many signs to be far wrong.

"Private & Confidential" Sandoval Jany 12 '63 Gov R Yates Respected Sir I am no alarmist but since the leading tories of this State have held their treasonable meetings at Springfield the secessionists in these parts have become bold & more [impertinent?] than ever and dark hints are thrown out as to what they will do. In my opinion all that there wicked bad men want is the [toscin?] summer by their leaders, and an indiscriminate slaughter would take place of all the leading Union men throughout Southern Illinois. I have talked with many Union men in this vicinity - and they all take the same <hr /> view of matters as I do & honestly think there is mischief brewing. Would it not be well enough to take things in time there is no better point than this [place?] a [illegible[] at [illegible] for a Regt or so to be stationed. The RR as would be the first thing the secessionists would be likely to attack & tear up. Another thing we have no army in this county. Not enough can be [illegible] for even a company. Could not a small [det?] be shipped down in a quiet manner to our P.M. W Edwards Esq he is a true man & would act with discretion. I may be mistaken in all this thing but I see too many signs to be far wrong. If we have <hr /> to fight here in Ills in defence of our homes our wives and our children we want to be ready and by the help of God we will endeavor to make short work of it. The wicked & abominable speeches of O. Melverry of this co - has done a great deal of mischief.

New York Jany 14th 1863 His Excellency Richard Yates Governor of Illinois Springfield Dear Governor For God Sake What are we coming to? It seems to me that unless God in his kind providence interposes in our behalf soon our Country is lost. The people are right, or generally so, but are fast loosing confidence in the management of the Administration and to some extent becoming desparate. Our people admire a man of boldness and Pluck And it seems to me are fast approaching that condition when if such a man should strike [and?] might inaugurate a fearfull revolution at home that would require all the resources of the government to subdue. I fear that serious demoralization is in some portions of our army and I think certainly the trash is equal to the Consumptive and there the fearfull extravagance & plunder. Oh for a man at the head of the War Department of brains, honesty, & pluck to <hr /> inaugurate a reform and restore the sinking spirits of our people and discipline in our Army. I see that perfect harmony does not prevail at Springfield. But Governor you are in a position to make the issue boldly with the radical opposition and all conservatives will be with you. I beg pardon for trespassing upon your time with the above suggestions but as I sat down to drop you a line they were in my mind. I have just this moment cut the enclosed slip out of this mornings Times and as it in effect what as you know -- I have suggested for Illinois or the North that I send it.
