Head Quarters Springfield, Ills. Sept 15 1862. His Excellency Richard Yates Commander in Chief &c Sir: By special order dated September 5th 1862, I detailed Capt W Rives for instruction and drill of the Regiments of Volunteers at Camp Butler. He has been engaged in that duty for the past week, and has made considerable progress so far as the officers have attended. He reports that he has received for answer from a part of the officers that they have too much to do, to attend drill – and that some seem to entertain an idea that they need no instruction. Those who did attend were not punctual – coming too late. The Sergeants of the 104 US Regiment were excused by order of their Colonel. They claim to know the drill, and have a drill master of their own. Capt Rives is of opinion that they have no knowledge of their duties and ought to be compelled to procure a drill master, or to submit to his instruction. Some of the Sergeants, excuse their late attendance, on the ground of having to attend daily for provision for their companies. This could be obviated by larger issues of provisions, or by detailing other officers to attend this duty while these instructions are being given. I desire to know if it be your <hr /> Excellency's wish that Capt Rives should take charge of the instruction of all the Regiments at Camp Butler; if not, that the Regiments to be under him, be designated. To make his services efficient power should be conferred upon him to compel the attendance of those put under his instruction, and such arrangements should be made in Camp duties as will enable the officers to do so. Will your excellency issue such definite instructions as may enable me to make his services most efficient, in giving the officers of these Regts instructions in their various duties, and in the drill. John A. McClernand Major General U.S. Vols. <hr /> Maj. Gen. J.A. McClernand Springfield Sept 15 – 62 Says that Capt W. Rives finds difficulty in compeling the attendance of men for Drill in Camp Butler. Says 104th Regt wont drill at all. Asks authority for Capt Rives to compel attendance &c. Answd Sept. 15.

The heel of The Old Flag-staff shall bruise the Rattlesnake's head! Baltimore Sept. 15. 1862. His Excy, The Governor of Illinois! Sir! On the 7th ulto. I placed in the hands of the President of the U.S. in the Executive Chamber, at Washington, a small silken Union Flag, very handsomely gotten up, bearing, in letters of gold, the motto conceived by myself, that stands at the head of this page. The presentation was accompanied by a letter explanatory of the motto, and at the same time requesting that the flag might be placed in the War Department, in order that the motto might be incorporated into our national faith during the present struggle for <hr /> the supremacy of the Constitution and the Laws, and the perpetuity of our inestimable nationality. The letter embraced much that this one does, and was deemed by the President, in his written reply, as "earnest and patriotic." The motto, your Excellency will observe, is National, Symbolic, and Prophetic. The heel of The Old Flag-staff represents the power of the Federal Government; the Rattlesnake's head represents the rebellion inaugurated by South Carolina, the symbol of whose sovereignty is that vicious reptile; and the declaration of enmity between the heel and the head is prophetic of the absolute power and inflexible determination of the Federal Government to crush out the rebellion at any and every cost commensurate with the life of the nation. Let the motto then be inscribed upon the flaunting banners of our advancing <hr /> armies; let it be spread before the public eye, and thundered into the public ear at all the loyal gatherings of the people; let it stimulate the heart of the nation all over the land, and finally let it be the battle-cry for the Union until The Flag of our Country shall again be planted upon every mountain-top, and its musical flutterings again be borne upon every passing breeze. I have taken the liberty of thus addressing your Excellency for the purpose of introducing to your notice the motto herein referred to, for such consideration as you may be pleased to bestow upon it.
