L'etoile du Nord. State of Minnesota, Department of Public Instruction, Saint Paul, March 1861. Dear Sir, The friends of education were quite surprised at a proposition made in the Legislature of our State last winter, to abolish the Department of Public Instruction as an unnecessary expense and assign its duties to the office of Secretary of State. The argument used was that at an early day Pennsylvania, Ohio, and some of the older States did not find a Superintendent of Public Instruction necessary. <hr /> You are probably aware that this State has a Congressional grant of lands of 1280 acres for each township, and that ultimately we ought to be educationally a leading State in the valley of the Mississippi. If you can at your earliest convenience drop me a brief note, commending the importance of maintaining an efficient central supervision of public instruction from the very infancy of a commonwealth, and the folly of adopting the usages that were in vogue twenty five or fifty years ago, you would confer a <hr /> favor, and do much to strengthen those who are endeavoring to lay a solid foundation for the State.

Peoria Daily Transcript, Peoria, Ill., Sep 2 1864 Governor Yates Dear Sir This will be handed you by Lieut. Geo W Baker late of the 8th Missouri, who is raising a company for the "State Regiment." He intended reporting with his men but the Provost Marshal, being ordered away, he has a member whose papers are not ready, and some twenty-five coming in tomorrow from Marshall County to join. He has over fifty men, and with those to come in tomorrow, will I am quite sure, make up a full company which will be at Springfield Monday P.M. I sincerely hope you will hold a place for Baker's Company in the Regiment, as I am personally interested. You know it wont do for me to leave the transcript, and Baker is to be my substitute. Hence anything done for him is done for me. If there should be a better thing in the regiment <hr /> open, I presume he would not decline it. After a weeks labor I have got my own man out of the draft, raising the full quota of nineteen men. The balance of the city is working like demons to get out. The Copperheads are ransacking the whole town for individuals & [abscriptians?] for counties to recruit & I telegraphed you today, by no means let any intimation be made that the draft is to be stopped, postponed or time extended. If Oakes could manage to get the right kind of a circular through the Associated Press Despatchers, it would add hundreds to the volunteering daily Yours for the Union E Emery Emory, E Peoria Sept 1st 64 Says that Capt Boaker has raised a company for the new regiment and will be in, with it on Monday. He hopes the Govr. will give it a place in Regt. as it interests him personally. File Ansd Snyder Status The current transcription status of a document or a page.

Peoria Daily Transcript, Peoria, Ill., Sep 2 1864 Governor Yates Dear Sir This will be handed you by Lieut. Geo W Baker late of the 8th Missouri, who is raising a company for the "State Regiment." He intended reporting with his men but the Provost Marshal, being ordered away, he has a member whose papers are not ready, and some twenty-five coming in tomorrow from Marshall County to join. He has over fifty men, and with those to come in tomorrow, will I am quite sure, make up a full company which will be at Springfield Monday P.M. I sincerely hope you will hold a place for Baker's Company in the Regiment, as I am personally interested. You know it wont do for me to leave the transcript, and Baker is to be my substitute. Hence anything done for him is done for me. If there should be a better thing in the regiment <hr /> open, I presume he would not decline it. After a weeks labor I have got my own man out of the draft, raising the full quota of nineteen men. The balance of the city is working like demons to get out. The Copperheads are ransacking the whole town for individuals & [abscriptians?] for counties to recruit & I telegraphed you today, by no means let any intimation be made that the draft is to be stopped, postponed or time extended. If Oakes could manage to get the right kind of a circular through the Associated Press Despatchers, it would add hundreds to the volunteering daily Yours for the Union E Emery Emory, E Peoria Sept 1st 64 Says that Capt Boaker has raised a company for the new regiment and will be in, with it on Monday. He hopes the Govr. will give it a place in Regt. as it interests him personally. File Ansd Snyder Status The current transcription status of a document or a page.
