Rienzi Miss Aug 12th 1862 To his excilency the Governer of Illinois, Dear Sir I saw a statement in the papers to the effect that men were to be taken from the present army to fill the offices of the new regiments now to be put in the field. Therefore I take this opportunity of making an application for one of the many places to be filled. I have been in the service one year tomorrow. And I have seen some very hard service in Missouri & Arkansas & was in the battle of Pea Ridge. And I think I am pretty well drilled - having been under Col Greusel ever since I enlisted. I do not ask for a Captain's Commission - but a Lieut's. I enlisted for the war as a private - but if I can serve my country better as one of the leaders of a company I am willing & anxious to do so. I know that you want men that know how to drill. I wish the war was closed now & I but express the <hr /> the sentiments of the majority of the men of my regiment when I say that I am pleased with the policy now to be persued by our goverment. I was detailed last week to go home on the recruiting service - But the order of A.A. Gen Fuller in regard to recruiting has put a stop to my going. If it is possible for you to grant my petition you will confer a great favor on me & my family who look to me for support. I am, sir, as ever your obedient servant R. Hovey Chittenden Co.

Peoria Augt 12 1862 To His Excellency Richard Yates Dear Sir, We are all interested in having our new regiments now forming through the State, commanded by men of experience and acknowledged ability. Among the numerous candidates for office here, there are but few who have had any previous knowledge of military affairs. The gallant men who are volunteering by thousands demand that great care should be exercised in the appointment of their officers. And therefore, with such views we take pleasure in commending to your favorable notice, Capt. David. P. Hancock of the 7d U.S Infantry, now in command <hr />of Ft. Ontario, Oswego New York. Wm Hancock is a graduate of West Point and has been in the army ever since, a period of seven or eight years. He went to Utah under Johnson, was promoted twice and now holds the rank of Capt. in the regular service. Was with Major [Lyide?] when against the protest of Capt Hancock and the other officers he made a a disgraceful surrender of his army. They were discharged upon [their?] parole and returned when the Government immediately placed Capt. Hancock in command at Ft. Ontario. -- Within the last few weeks they have been exchanged and Capt. Hancock writes his brother here, that he is anxious to serve the State of Illinois as Col. of one of the new regiments now organizing. He has already applied to the Department for the <hr /> liberty to do so, should the offer be accepted by you. -- We say without hesitation from what we know of Captn Hancock that he is the man for the place and his appointment would be hailed with delight by all our citizens He is an accomplished gentleman - acknowledged to be among the best officers of his rank in the army and as Colonel of a regiment would inspire confidence among his men and be found among the most gallant and efficient officers in the field -- For these reasons - especially in view of his experience, we hope you will not hesitate to secure to him a commission. -- His brother who goes to Springfield to submit to you his offer is among our best citizens We have the men - they are coming <hr />in by hundreds. The universal desire is to be commanded by officers of undoubted qualifications With such to lead them, success as heretofore will continue to crown their efforts and the honor of our State will be maintained -- Respectfully -- Thos. Y. McCulloh A. McCoy Jno D Arnold E. G. Johnson Washington Cockle Jno. Hamlin <hr /> Petition Peoria Aug 12/62 "Numerously signed. Interested in having new Regts. commanded by good men. -- Highly recommending Capt David P Hancock of the 7th U.S. Infantry now in command of Ft Ontario, as a good, & Excellent man & a graduate of "West Point" Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Golconda, Aug 12th 1862 Hon R Yates Gov. etc: - Your kind and encouraging letter of July 31st must have arrived some days since, but as I have been absent in the "good work," it was not perused until to-day. Permit me a moment of your time for a reply. - I have been continually upon the stump in this (Pope), Hardin and Johnson counties. Everywhere the greatest enthusiasm prevails. I trust, sir, that we will have not the slightest trouble in raising the necessary number of men. And now, sir, having nearly discharged my duty in response to the call of yourself and the War Department, permit me to tend my own services as a volunteer in defense of the institutions of our country. During all of last winter I was in the employ of the Kentucky Military Board as Drillmaster. In March my health failed me, since which time I have been editing the Commercial in this place. I have numerous certificates of qualification (including one from Grig. Gen. Chas F. Smith, since deceased, then commanding post at Paducah.) I know you are besieged by applications of this character, but you must excuse me for asking, for if a man does not ask he will seldom receive, in this office-hunting age. A detail to some one of the camps <hr /> of instruction would probably enable me to attain a position without farther assistance. If you can confer a favor of this kind, I have only to promise that so long as I am identified with the newspaper forces - and that is my profession - so long will I esteem it a privilege to support your Excellency in all patriotic labors. I could have raised a company, but I preferred rather to address the people in behalf of the great cause we have so much at heart and let others enroll the men, thereby avoiding the "Butternut" charge of self-interest. Respectfully James W Howard Editor "Commerical" <hr /> James W. Howard, Editer Commercial, Golconda, Aug. 12. Asks to be detailed to one of the camps of instruction; desires position of drill master.
