Ills Vols. - The writer is a young man extremely known in this City and known to be a man of truth. The Letter is date "Brownsville Tenn. Aug 5, 1862. He says, "I hardly know if it would do for me to recount the trying marches we have gone through from Sunday 27 ult. to the 3rd Inst. we have been on the Road. I am among those who have kept up. We have been treated Scandalously by our Commander M K Lawler commanding Brigade 8th, 18th 29th and 31st Ill Vols and about 800 Cavalry. He is the most unfit and unpopular Commander that ever had command in the West, and is disliked as much by the highest officers as by the lowest, in the Ranks His administration of affairs is highly injurious to the union cause We have been Scouring the Country all round, after those infernal Rebels and Bridge Burners and without Success. Our cavalry came on them twice but they got away they are commanded by a man named Jackson from the Town of Jackson, Tenn They have done a great deal of Cotton burning We could see their tracks; but every Subordinate officer knows it is the height of Insanity to march an Army of Infantry after such gangs of Robbers. it is killing our men - thinning our ranks. Hot weather and dusty Roads, numbers of men drop from the Ranks and are left along the Roads, exhausted and exposed to the enemy <hr /> "Several have been Sunstruck. We will all be old men before our prime, crippled from fatigue and useless exposure - of course we could carry nothing in our long marches at night heavy dews, our clothes wringing wet with perspiration when allowed to stop to rest, we lay on the ground in heavy dews, no blankets nothing whatever but our old clothes on. We have strong cause of Complaint on account of the Orders issued. We were ordered to march with 2 days rations and we did march and have been kept marching 8 days in succession with that or nothing after the 2 days was out. we have had no bread for 6 days. The whole Brigade are dissatisfied and pronounce that the Commander ought to be Court Marshalled He wants to get a name for expeditions at the expense of the lives of his men. and the damage of the Union Cause we have marched over 100 miles in the time above mentioned and the hardest and most disheartening marches the 8th ever had, we marched the whole of 2 nights and accomplished nothing We Commenced at Sundown one night and marched without rest. till Sundown next day all to no purpose. many dropped out of the ranks. We had only one hours notice of this long march. we marched from Jackson to Denmark but the Guerillas outmarched us. or as I might truly say stopped at their houses on the way and laughed at us as we passed. this I firmly believe is a fact. we picked up hidden guns in corn fields and orchards and often we found the same number of men at the nearest house agreeing with the number of guns. We obtained much information from intelligent Negroes, how the Rebels fool us. <hr /> Our Commander is pronounced by all to be unfit for this Command creating dissatisfaction in the Army and a dislike to the service It is most culpable carelessnessness, disgraceful, and dangerous in the last degree to have such a man in Command jeopardizing the Union cause most Seriously We next marched to Brownsville we had to leave our new uniforms behind in Jackson our present stopping place is 2 miles west of the Town of Brownsville Were it not for the cause we all have at heart and for which we are fighting, our officer would all resign en masse, rather than Serve any longer under such a despisable Commander. Every order we hear coming from him the whole Camp set up a Shouting and Yelling all Kinds of ridicule, their hatred is unmistakeable The whole Brigade would rejoice if Some Regiment were added to our Brigade whose Colonels would outrank "Lawler" Dear Governor, can you not be instrumental in relieving the above named Brigade of the nuisance, and of their Cause of Complaint.

Munificent Gift for the support of the War --- Correspondence Between Governor Yates and the Donor. Executive Department. Springfield, Ill., August 11, 1862 Editors Journal: I hand you herewith, for publication, a letter I received some days since from Samuel Fosdick, Esq., of Cincinnati, Ohio. It speaks for itself, and although evidently not intended for the public eye, I cannot refrain from giving it publicity, as an example worthy of all commendation. While it expresses the spirit of determination in the hearts of the people, at this time, it is an exhibition of patriotic benevolence, that will cheer and encourage our brave soldiers on their long marches, away form kindred and home. They will see that there are those who think of their wants, and who will provide for them and their families. All honor to the noble hearted men of our land who meet the demands upon their resources with an open hand. Their deeds follow them - the prayer of the widor and the fatherless, and the suffering will follow them; and Heaven will bless them in basket and in store. RICHARD YATES, Governor of Illinois CINCINNATI, July 31, 1862. Hon. Richard Yates, Governor of Illinois: SIR: To aid in this crisis in the affairs of our Government, I will enclose you a check for five hundred dollars, not knowing any one in authority whose views of the mode to subjugate traitors coincide so entirely with my own as yours do, as expressed in your letter to President Lincoln of the 11th inst. On the other hand, my convictions are strong that the policy heretofore pursued if persisted in, can only end in the destruction of the Government. The check I send please use in aid of those patriotic citizens who are willing to imperil their lives in sustaining the institutions of our country, if you are satisfied that the measures the crisis demands are about being inaugurated, such as will accomplish the desired end, otherwise appropriate the money for the comfort of any of the numerous fatherless children this fiendish rebellion has already made in our land. Respectfully yours, [Signed] SAM'L FOSDICK. <hr /> REPLY OF GOVERNOR YATES. STATE OF ILLINOIS, EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, SPRINGFIELD, AUGUST 11, 1862 Sam'l Fosdick, Esq., Cincinnati, O.: MY DEAR SIR: I acknowledge with much pleasure the receipt of your letter of the 31st ult., enclosing a draft for five hundred dollars to be expended by me in behalf of those "who are willing to imperil their lives in the defense of their country," or for "the comfort of the many fatherless children this fiendish rebellion has already made in the land." I have received many letters from my fellow-citizens approving my course, and indorsing the policy I have from time to time set forth as the true one, for the conduct of the war; but never before had the honor of receiving a testimonial, at once so gratifying, so disinterested, and so substantial, as this. Coming as it does from an entire stranger, I beg to assure you, that I appreciate all the more highly, the generosity and patriotism, as well as the benevolent motives, which prompted the gift. I accept the trust, and will see that it is faithfully executed. The time for dallying is passed - the time for action, resolute and determined has come. The people say in their majesty, this infernal rebellion, the offspring of crime and corruption must be put down. They want no more stopping to consider whether it is unconstitutional or not to defend and support the Constitution. They want the land purged of treason and traitors; and that quickly - using all lawful means. I have an abiding faith in the strength of their purpose, in the sacredness of our cause, and in the sure triumph of the only government on earth that gives hope to liberty, fraternity and equality -- those grand principles of constitutional freedom, that must stand forever. With highest respect, I am very truly, & c., RICH D YATES, Governor of Illinois. Status The current transcription status of a document or a page.

Munificent Gift for the support of the War --- Correspondence Between Governor Yates and the Donor. Executive Department. Springfield, Ill., August 11, 1862 Editors Journal: I hand you herewith, for publication, a letter I received some days since from Samuel Fosdick, Esq., of Cincinnati, Ohio. It speaks for itself, and although evidently not intended for the public eye, I cannot refrain from giving it publicity, as an example worthy of all commendation. While it expresses the spirit of determination in the hearts of the people, at this time, it is an exhibition of patriotic benevolence, that will cheer and encourage our brave soldiers on their long marches, away form kindred and home. They will see that there are those who think of their wants, and who will provide for them and their families. All honor to the noble hearted men of our land who meet the demands upon their resources with an open hand. Their deeds follow them - the prayer of the widor and the fatherless, and the suffering will follow them; and Heaven will bless them in basket and in store. RICHARD YATES, Governor of Illinois CINCINNATI, July 31, 1862. Hon. Richard Yates, Governor of Illinois: SIR: To aid in this crisis in the affairs of our Government, I will enclose you a check for five hundred dollars, not knowing any one in authority whose views of the mode to subjugate traitors coincide so entirely with my own as yours do, as expressed in your letter to President Lincoln of the 11th inst. On the other hand, my convictions are strong that the policy heretofore pursued if persisted in, can only end in the destruction of the Government. The check I send please use in aid of those patriotic citizens who are willing to imperil their lives in sustaining the institutions of our country, if you are satisfied that the measures the crisis demands are about being inaugurated, such as will accomplish the desired end, otherwise appropriate the money for the comfort of any of the numerous fatherless children this fiendish rebellion has already made in our land.

Aug. 11 1862, His Excellency Gov Yates; Dear Sir, having supposed that it would be your policy to officer the new Regts called out, with experienced officers - those who have seen Service in the field of battle, I wrote you some days since, offering my services; and also sending a certificate from Colm. Tilson of the 10th Ills. as to my fidelity and qualifications as an officer. As I have received no answer from you, I suppose you did not receive my letter. I would say that I have served some ten months as Commander of a Company in the 10th Regt., and feel myself qualifyed to fill the office of Lieut. Coln. or Major. What I would desire is the Majority of Regt. I content myself by writing to you, as I know your former policy has been to make appointments upon merit alone without the voice of the Regt., I can furnish you good authority as to my standing, etc. <hr /> Last Sept. I [acceiled?' a company with the intention of geting a Surgeons position, but failing to fill my company amediatly I deemed it my duty to remain with them till they were fully organized and able and efficient officers placed over them. My mind has been diverted from medicine for the last twelve months, and would prefer a field office. Hoping you will give this your favorable concideration, and answer me soon, I remain Yours. John D. Mitchell. Darwin, Clark Co. Ills. P.S. I send you a note from Colonel Tillson. Please return it to me. T.D.M. <hr /> Ansd. Sept 16 - 62 John D. Mitchell, Darwin, Clark Co.
