Office Provost Marshal, Eleventh District, Illinois. Vandalia July 30. 1864 Lieut. Col. James Oakes, A. A. Pro. Mar. Gen'l Springfield Ills. Colonel: I have the honor to report that your Letter of instructions of 26th inst. was received on the 28th inst. when I proceeded to Ramsey without delay I had an interview with several of the men named, some of them having left the place through fear of personal violence. There is certainly a band of desparadoes infesting a portion of Fayette & Montgomery counties; committing depradations on the union citizens, robbing them of their arms and in some instances of money. They make their Head Quarters in Montgomery county between Vanburenburg and Ramsey, and are variously estimated from forty to two hundred; from what I can learn there are about twenty fives strangers supposed to be guerillas from the border slave states, the others are residents of Montgomery Fayette and Bond counties. Their principal object seems to be to obtain arms and horses, and to intimidate and drive off union citizens Reports have been current <hr /> here since yesterday morning that the citizens of Hillsboro had organized a force to arrest them. on returning here this morning from Ramsey, I found this place wild with excitement. two men just in report the citizens from Bond and Montgomery counties fighting with the guerillas about seven miles from this place. two men reported Killed the citizens of Vandalia armed and mounted about twenty men and sent them out to take part in the contest. The reports of numbers on either side are so vague and improbable that it is impossible at this time to form an opinion. Until the result of the present difficulty is Known, I cannot state what course will be advisable for Government to pursue, or what force, if any, will be necessary.

Indianapolis June 9 /61 Hon John A McClernand Dr Sir If any apology is due from me I hope it may be found in the subject matter of this communication. Whilst abroad last year having a natural inclination, I made myself perfectly familiar with all the details that make the French Soldier and the French Army, superior to day to those of any other Nation. On my return I found all the avenues approaching Place and Position in my own State so blocked up by those whose business seems to be that of Place Hunters, that, being a modest man, and never having held or asked for an office (although a Democrat heretofore) I was deterred from any attempt in that direction in Ohio. As I contemplated becoming a citizen of your State at any early day, I am desirous of going the duty of a citizen, so far as I can in this war movement, by aiding to place the army of Illinois, upon a footing of equality at least, if not of superiority with the Troops of <hr /> any other State In a very quiet way, during my recent visit to Cairo & Springfield I became convinced by observation & inquiry that Illinois is far behind some of her Sister States (at least) in preparation and arming her Troops, and in all those details that go to make up what is incomprehended in the term, “efficiency” I propose, if I am permitted, to make them, “efficient, in war.” I will furnish the most [appoved?] ordinance, and the most “efficient” (destructive) Projectiles, and will demonstrate the same, if the committee on arms will sufer the opening of bids for say, ten days, until I can return to Springfield They have advertised for 12000 stands of Rifles, they may get the Kind advertised in a reasonable time but I doubt it, I have some important sugestions to make them also on this subject There are many details that go to make up the “morale” of any Army that seem to be but little understood by the authorities of Illinois, if it is possible I shall be pleased to aid in supplying any deficiency in these respects, when I become a citizen [she?] may command me. Will <hr /> you so far interest yourself in this matter as to induce the commissioners to defer the opening of bids for ten days and Telegraph me here at my expense? I am confident that it will result in promoting the objects that I have alluded to, if this is done. I did not make the acquaintance of Gov Yates while in Springfield. I relyed on my Friend Genl Singleton, but he was called home before an opportunity occurred, the Gov being absent I find I shall be detained here two or three days and will be pleased to hear from you.

Danville Ills 9th June 1861 Col. Jesse K. Dubois Springfield Ills Dear Sir: The death of Judge Douglas leaves a vacancy in the Senate, which it will be the duty of Gov. Yates to fill, and we, of the old whig and this conservative branch of the Republican party, would be pleased to see Judge David Davis appointed to this position. Perhaps to no one man more than to Judge D. was Mr. Lincoln indebted for his nomination by this Chicago convention, and to that nomination may be ascribed our success in carrying the State elections. We, the conservatives of the republican party, fell that in the distribution of the honors and patronage of the government, our friends have but almost entirely ignored and most painfully slighted. The contest in the Chicago Convention as you will know was between the extreme and radical and the conservative elements of the party, that the latter succeeded in this contest and that Mr. L. was their choice and their nominee; We have reason to feel sore and chagrined that those who opposed us in that struggle and whom we so signally defeated should now be in the ascendant and allowed to use that ascendancy and influence to overslaugh their conservative associates. A glaring <hr /> instance of party wrong and reputation is manifest in the case of Judge D. to whom, notwithstanding his unquestioned claims, nothing has been tendered. It would therefore be both proper and graceful that the position referred to be tendered to him. Aside from considerations of party justice, his ability, capacity and personal qualities point to him as the proper person for the place; and especially as the critical and disjointed condition of public affairs require firm and energetic counsels and measures. His firmness, his will and his clear and intuitive judgment will quality him for such, and the President, at this time more than any other, needs in the Senate one whom be can implicitly trust, and one in whom he would be willing to trust, and Judge Davis, from the long intimate and confidential personal and political relations between the President and himself, is emphatically such as man. If he should need “back bones” the Judge would have an ample supply on hand. Without any position, politically, in this State and without the slightest claims to your confidence I have ventured to obtrude the preceding suggestions upon your attention, with additional suggestion that if they match your views, that the Judge's claims, in such manner as your judgment may suggest, be presented in the proper quarter. O.L. Davis has or will [illegible] Mr Hatch on the same subject. I have no hesitation in saying that Judge D's appointment will meet with universal acceptance in this part of the State.
