Our County will Send to the Legislature (nominate one at least) a firm "Yates Man" One who will do all in his power to Secure your election to the U. S.

This Senatorial Dist will also send a State Senator who will (as far as I can influence him) be warmly in your favor. J P Reynolds has been talked of but he rather declines the honor. Our next best man is G W Minier well known in the Dist, a warm friend of mine <hr /> 2 [same letterhead] and of yourself also. He will vote for you all the time. Can he carry our County and Senatorial District? With the aid of our Soldiers votes I have no doubt of it; but if we fail to make any arrangements for that purpose, I doubt the result. Every Union Man in our County will do his duty this fall. The Leaguers are wide-awake and mean work. Not one effort will be Spared to bring Old Tazewell fairly Squarely & firmly on the right track. To do this requires the aid and assistance of Outsiders who will Stump our County &c &c and the vote of our Soldiers must be had to make assurance doubly Sure.

Belvidere Ills, Aug. 7. 1864 Dear Sir I am beginning to be weary & a little sulky at this continued idleness. I rather fear that orders have been issued for me & failed to reach me, yet I am aware that the Department know I am still here. Truth to say I am very far from being satisfied with the state of the War. If Grant with all the army and immense material at his command can be stopped threatened & held in check by a fraction of Lee's reduced army and that fraction so small as to permit of detaching a reasonably <hr /> heavy Column to threaten Baltimore Washington Harrisburgh & Pittsburgh, why it results that Grant's Campaign on the Potomac has so far been a failure. Lee's entire force cannot exceed 90,000 men & is probably not to exceed 60,000. With these he holds us at bay at Petersburgh & Richmond & covers the Rail Road 22 miles between these places, and at the same time inflicts infinite humiliation & some disaster along the line of Maryland & Virginia. There is gross failure somewhere. Now it will be necessary to organize a force of say 60,000 men to move by the Valley of Virginia on Lynchburgh, cut the Canal & the lines of Rail Roads and invest Richmond on the South & West unless indeed Lee should be allowed to whip there before, <hr /> that junction is completed. What the plans may be I cannot say but if something thorough & decisive is not done, it will in no wise surprise me if a flying column of 30,000 should capture Pittsburgh, destroy all the Rail Roads upto the Lake and sweep off again through Ohio & Kentucky or Western Virginia back to Staunton, Lynchburgh & Richmond. I have much more faith in Sherman than in Grant nor can I conceive any excuse for the Lieut Genl except the intense heat and drought. This will continue until the middle of September, so that I look for no distinguishing successes until after that time. The truth is that the Nation as a Nation is not punished Enough, they are not in Earnest and <hr /> until they are the War will linger along. Perhaps it is not desirable to have any very great successes until after August 29th. I see my rascully friend Washburne has been renominated to Congress whereby he keeps his anchor to windward & is ready to serve another time. I wonder what speculator he will go into partnership with next! He & Dr Ray made a very pretty operation in "highwines." I am satisfied from all I can learn that there will be no open opposition to you this winter. Although there are several heads ready to fill the vacant chance if such there should be. It is however regarded as a very remote contingency. If Uncle Sam don't set me to work pretty soon I propose to stir up the minds of the dear people by certain choice & terse articles full of the real issues of the present times for their thoughtful meditation, which, I suppose for the public good I must publish in that infamously conducted sheet the Chicago Tribune as I doubt if the Times will put them <hr /> in. The Key note of the Campaign is to be struck yet and I am afraid you gentlemen candidates won't do it. It is distinctly understood however that I take no patent on the invention but propose to have it open for general use of all clever people who may compose their own variations on it Having myself the greatest faith in the necessity (so to speak) of this Country and its regenerated institutions to carry out the purposes of Heaven I do not despair of the Republic but believe that all the villanus voices Engendured or brought to the surface by this war will be made instruments of good, by reason of which comfortable faith I remain patiently Your "Suspended" friend S A Hurlburt <hr /> Abstract & return Where is Hurlburt now?

(Confidential) Waukegan Lake Co Ill Aug 8, 1864 Dear Sir, I have seen Ferry since my return home. He talks strangely. In talking with my friends after I left him, I find his is at the bottom of such opposition as I may have, and thus also insist that Ferry is not at heart for you. This is a good deal confirmed by the conversation I had with him, but yet I am unwilling to yet believe it to be so. I will give you further details soon. Ferry will write to you probably in answer to your letter. He will attempt to make you believe that I am not to succeed. I wish you to pay no attention to this, for I tell you that I shall. But I wish you to reply to him asking to go for me in case he is a friend to you. For I doubt you can find a better friend to you in the state than I am, & I think I can do you better service <hr /> than any man will, that is brought in at the 11th hour over my head. May I rely on you to put Ferry right at all hazzards. I know of no other person but you to do it. In as much as he has been supposed to be your friend it looks bad to see him fighting me who has always been considered your earnest supporter in the north, it will create a terrible jar & may prejudice your case.

Waukegan Lake Co. Ill <pre>Aug. 9, 1864 </pre> Dear Sir, It seems that Ferry is really at the bottom of my opposition. He, himself, is not formidable. It appears that some time ago he started a story that I was not true to the Republican party at Springfield last Session. After toiling as hard as I did through the session, & after bearing the name for Six years of being the "blackest Republican" in the house, I feel that I cannot allow this Slander to go unnoticed; Indeed it will not answer.

Waukegan Lake Co. Ill <pre>Aug. 9, 1864 </pre> Dear Sir, It seems that Ferry is really at the bottom of my opposition. He, himself, is not formidable. It appears that some time ago he started a story that I was not true to the Republican party at Springfield last Session. After toiling as hard as I did through the session, & after bearing the name for Six years of being the "blackest Republican" in the house, I feel that I cannot allow this Slander to go unnoticed; Indeed it will not answer. Evry one, but those who are looking for unnecessary course know better, but I am requested to get a letter from you on the Subject which will remove the last Straw of the opposition. I send you such a letter as I am authorized to send by Orville Slusser of Lake Co. also a Suggestion for your answer, which I believe contains nothing but the facts & I think you <hr /> you know the facts pretty well as I constantly relied on you for counsel.

Camp of the 2d Reg't of Ills. Cav. Vols., Baton Rouge, La., Aug. 12, 1864 Sir: We, the undersigned officers of the 2d Ills Cav respectfully beg leave to make the following statement of facts: The most of us enlisted in the regiment to serve for the term of three years from the 12th day of August, 1861. Some of our number entered the service as enlisted men, and others have been promoted to a higher grade than that held at the time of entering the service; All have been re-mustered in consequence of promotion except Lieut. Lebold, of Co. "D," and Capt Hotating, of Co. "A," and they were mustered out of the service to-day, by reason of "expiration of term of service." We were re-mustered on our commissions with the understanding that we were so remustered for the unexpired term of our enlistment; and now we are held to service for three years from the date of our last muster. We consider this unjust, and in violation of existing orders from war department. Circular No. 36, War Department, May 2d, 1864, says "all officers of regiments not veteran, shall be mustered out, at the expiration of their original terms of service." The chief mustering officer of this Department has issued an order,---as we think, without authority, and in violation of the order from War Dep't, above referred,---to, holding us to service, as above stated. We think, by provis- <hr /> ions of the circular above quoted, we think ourselves entitled to an honorable discharge; for we have faithfully served our term of service, We now respectfully ask you to use your influence, to get us mustered out of the United States service. This paper will be presented to you by Lt. John Cayton, who will further represent our case to your Excellency. Hon. Richard Yates:---Gov. State of Ills. Your Obedient Serv'ts. A. Whiting Capt Co.

(Confidential) Jacksonville, Ills 12th Aug. '64 His Excellency, Gov. Yates, Springfield, Governor! Monopolized as your time is, by the duties of your office, in a momentous crisis like the present, I should look upon it as an unjustifiable liberty in any man to desire to appropriate the unsullied share of your attention, except on business of very grave importance. And this, I am apprehensive, in the character of the subject of this communication. I do not think I possess a nervous temperament, nor do I desire to be considered an alarmist, still, I think, from many ominous signs, it is impossible to shut out the conviction that there are "breakers ahead," and I believe this presentiment is strong in the minds of many-many of our citizens <hr /> of our most thoughtful and by no means timid men. My wife has a very large number of relatives in this county, who, I believe, with a single solitary exception, are copperheads. I hold no intercourse with any of the tribe, but occasionally, "16" S. is thrown among them. From the information she has gleaned from some of her nearest & most reliable connections, there undoubtedly is a deep-lived & extensive plot among the so-called Democracy to "do mischief" at no distant date; & Jacksonville is marked by these, as a doomed citey. Hugh Campbell, the man who was killed by young Church, was formerly a scholar of [illegible], & a son-in-law of my wife's oldest sister. Although a person of bad character, in some respects, his fate is sympathized in very extensively, by the people of Apple-creek & elsewhere. His death, they say, was caused by "Black Republicans", & they - his sympathizers, - will have revenge. <hr /> I am an officer of the Union League, in Jacksonville, I have opportunities of learning facts of a truly startling character, but which, of course, cannot be divulged, at present. When the question has been put - "does govr Yates know about these things." - the response is ="of what consequence would it be to inform him? He has no means of arresting the threatened danger, & is an helpless as a private individual, in the premises" Now this may be, I do not know, but I have reason to know that there are very many persons in Jacksonville, - goo union men, who want to do good service, in an emergency, but who, like myself & two sons, - lads of 18 and 16 years of age - are too poor to furnish themselves with arms. - I respectfully ask if we cannot be assisted with arms. It may be that the information contained in this communication, has been forestalled. But whether it has or has not, I do not presume to counsel your Excellency and merely trust - that - in the event of a <hr /> crisis overtaking us, your head and heart may prove fully equal to the occasion. I am Governor, Yours very respectfully, W. J. F Stephens P. S. I have heard through reliable sources, that the attempt to enforce the draft will be the signal for a combined and general onslaught by the traitors. If no outbreak should occur in our town previous to Church's trial, the fiendish copperheads in this County, (we have been confidentially advised), will take that opportunity - should Church be acquitted - to show their hands. I do not think Church will be acquitted for obvious reasons, - but I believe, should he be declared guilty, an attempt will be made to release him. His enemies are aware of this [picture of hand with thumb and index finger pointing] I am told Jacksonville is overflowing with "suspicious strangers", as they are termed. W. J. F. S. <hr /> Stephens, W. J. F., Jacksonville Ill Aug 12 1864 Is fearful of a general out break at Jacksonville and wants to know if Gov. Yates can do something to prevent it. Thinks it will occur at election. Aug 19- 64 Ans is directed within H File <hr /> Answer That every U.S.A. member should be at his [port?] - & then I will write him more fully as soon as certain questions are decided at Washtn. <hr /> Jacksonville Status The current transcription status of a document or a page.
