Chicago Jan 26th, 1865 Hon Richard Yates Dear Sir, I regret deeply that you passed through our city so rapidly that I had not the opportunity of seeing you. I hold in my hands, six letters of request for the promotion of my son Col. George B. Hoge to a Brigadiership. These letters are from Gen A. L. Chitlain, his superior officer to the President, whose friend he is - from Col. Turner 108th Ill. Inf. to Hon. E. C. Ingersoll, from Lieut Col. Lackland 108th Ill. Inf. to Hon. E. C. Ingersoll; from Lieut Col. George Clark 113th. Ill. Inf. to Hon. I. N. Arnold; from Spencer Floyd, Lieut Col. 120th. Ill. to Hon. James H. Lane; from Capt. J. Woodruff 113th Ill. to his cousin Joel Gurley, Wash. City. These letters are written by men who have been in his Brigade & know him well & are written to the personal friends of the writers, and avowed friends of my son.---- I will briefly enumerate the claims they advance. My son's long & arduous service from the beginning of the war always being on duty, unless disabled by sickness or wounds & his having made great business sacrifices to enter the service, his good moral character, his skill & bravery as an officer, his four severe wounds, two nearly fatal, his steady & faithful support of the Administration, his successful efforts to bring his Regiment up to vote, thereby securing the election of Kuykendall, the highly ammendatory report of Gen. R. B. Marcy, Inspector Gen U.S.A of First Brig - Dist. Memphis, commanded by my son - he having been acting Brig - almost, if not quite 18 months. I have good reasons to believe that Gen. Farnsworth, Hon. E. B. Washburn, Senater Trumbull, Hon Jesse [Morten ?] & John Wilson 3rd Auditor would act with you, in a request for his promotion. I feel entirely sure, if you will give it some personal attention, the matter will be secured. By so doing, you will lay me if possible ---- under stronger personal obligations than before should you be willing to use your influence in my son's favor & will telegraph me to my P. O. box 947 Chicago. I will forward to you at once the letters by mail. I am not willing to trouble you with them, without your permission. Our approaching Fair increases in magnificent proportions daily. Our prominent business & professional men manifest more zeal & appear willing to give the great & holy cause as much time as they give to their own private interests. The country is becoming thoroughly aroused & will be systematically organized. This great Northwestern Fair will undoubtedly do honor to the noble states you have so long & so nobly represented as our Ex Governor & honorable Senator. We are proud to number you among our Vice Presidents. I hope to be in Wash. about the middle of Feb. on business connected with this Fair which we hope will be the closing of the magnificent series of Jan. Fairs, originated by the women of the prairies. It would be a joyful welcome to me if I could find my son's well earned promotion secured. Your former goodness & my faith in you must be my apology for this intrusion. Your sincere friend Mr. A. H. Hoge ---- Mrs. A. H. Hoge Chicago Ills. Jan 26 '65 Earnestly solicits assistance to secure promotion of her - Col. Hoge of 113 Ills. Vols. to Brig. Genl. Vols.

I am therefore left a Lieut Colonel of Ills Vols without being attached to any Regiment and my pay may be stopped any day and I be thrown out of service. This would be very unpleasant to me as I desire to remain in service and do what I can with other loyal men to maintain our National existence and crush out traitors and treason.

Gen Strong will leave here about the 1st of August on leave for 60 days. He would have assisted me in procuring from the President the appointment of Additional Aide-de-Camp to some Maj Gen and had me assigned to duty on his staff but Congress has repealed the act authorizing the <hr /> the appointment of Additional Aides-de-Camp, therefore an application for an appointment as such would be in vain. As you have been so very kind to me since I have been in service I feel a delicacy in addressing you at this time, feeling that perhaps I am trespassing upon your valuable time, and that my importunities will become to you a bore, but I cannot bear the idea of being laid upon the shelf at this stage of the game, and therefore very respectfully but earnestly request (if it be perfectly consistent with your view of justice and propriety) that I be assigned to one of the Regiments now being raised for three years service. If this cannot be done will you have the kindness to write a letter recommending me for an appointment in the Regular Army and enclose it to me at this place.

Honored Sir; I think it my duty to put you on your guard concerning a projected uprising in Illinois by the Sons of Liberty so-called, with a design to seize the State Arsenal and arms. Information has come to my ears within a few days which convinces me there is a plot on foot in this state and my own state, Illinois, to seize the State Arsenals, get possession of the arms and control the election. In some portions of Illinois they are purchasing arms and amunition largely, distributing them & getting all things in readiness. They are also doing so in this state now. The rising is to be simultaneous. Would it not be well to issue an order forbidding the selling of arms and amunition only under certain restrictions? I know trouble is ahead. "To be forwarned is to be forearmed." Excuse me for presuming upon your attention. You will recognize my name. I am, Gov. Your loyal fellow-citizen and fellow-laborer for the suffering. A. H. Lackey.

Honored Sir; I think it my duty to put you on your guard concerning a projected uprising in Illinois by the Sons of Liberty so-called, with a design to seize the State Arsenal and arms. Information has come to my ears within a few days which convinces me there is a plot on foot in this state and my own state, Illinois, to seize the State Arsenals, get possession of the arms and control the election. In some portions of Illinois they are purchasing arms and amunition largely, distributing them & getting all things in readiness. They are also doing so in this state now. The rising is to be simultaneous. Would it not be well to issue an order forbidding the selling of arms and amunition only under certain restrictions? I know trouble is ahead. "To be forwarned is to be forearmed." Excuse me for presuming upon your attention. You will recognize my name. I am, Gov. Your loyal fellow-citizen and fellow-laborer for the suffering. A. H. Lackey. Chaplain U. S. Army. <hr /> Lackey A.H New Albany Aug 6th 1864 Warns you against the uprising of "Sons of Liberty." & Copperhead organizations in Illinois who threaten to carry election by force Status The current transcription status of a document or a page.

Equality Illinois May 16th/61 Hon Richard Yates: Today word was received from Adjutant General's Office stating that the regiment for the 9th District was already filled before several companies through Capn M. R. Lawler were tendered and thereby excluding many who have been ready for over ten days awaiting orders. The consequence is the utmost indignity is offered to your warmest friends, who have succeeded in burying past differences and rushing to the rescue to save our glorious Union. I am afraid there has been some advantage taken of our Egyptian unionists <hr /> but through no fault of yours, it appears that Captain M. K. Lawler recd a commission under your authority to act as agent for this 9th Con Dist - in rec companies. Under these instructions the regiment was filled and he went to Cairo to report the same day before yesterday by telegraph. Now if there is anything wrong about his commission pray let us know. Give us the particulars, as one company made up in this vicinity was reported ready as soon or before Herrods of Shawneetown. The companies are all right and Republicans unite with me in having Captain Foster's company recd. We would like to have <hr /> Egypt fairly represented. There is but one feeling here and that is the Union and the Government must be sustained. To be sure we have a few secessionists scattered through the Country but they keep their mouths shut. They are afraid of their necks even here in Egypt. Let us have full particulars and advise us what we had best do, as many of the men of the company here are those who have made arrangements with their neighbors to take charge of their farms and families for the summer.

Equality Illinois May 16th/61 Dear Governor Yates: - Since I last wrote to you many strange things have happened. In the first place our country is assailed by partisans, persons who wish to gratify their own ambition. They strove to compromise with traitors, thus acknowledging the act, and at the same time giving them another far better chance than ever to cut our throats. But how was this answered by the rebels? War! and preparations for war. Yes they have been indulged in to so great an extent that they imagine they can take Philadelphia and Washington. But thank God, they did commit an act <hr /> which disabused the public mind, that this was a mere war upon Republicans. The "Northern heart is fired" and nobly have Republicans recd men into their embrace and forgotten party ties in order that we might sustain our proud Union or rather Government, who at other times would be considered too low for their company. But a change came over Egypt as if by magic, and our part of the state seems to be a unit for the Government There are three or four counties near the R.R. that have been divided but I think that they will be all right shortly. In all the counties bordering upon the Ohio River the people are right at this time. To be sure there are a few such men as Bill Green of Massac that <hr /> would willingly blast all our hopes but they have lost all the confidence the people have reposed in them. Elder from this district is another say-nothing in this hour of peril. But we must say the patriotic sons of Egypt deserve credit for their willingness to fight for our Flag and put down rebels. They did not respond as quickly as in other portions of the state, for they had no means of communication by which they could respond; and then again the country is sparsely settled. The Bill that Green engineered through the legislature has injured me very much and also many other strong Republican schoolteachers I did not think it would pass, so I made no objection. Suspending tax payment has fallen heavily in Egypt. Your Message is well <hr /> recd as a general thing, but something has just occurred which will tend to injure our cause, here. The particulars I give on another sheet. I am fully convinced that your patriotism will be felt long after the present dificulties have been passed in placing Illinois where she ought to be.

I was appointed a notary by Gov French in /47 & have held the same commission ever since, through the administrations of Mattesen and Bissell I was undisturbed. True the office is not of much value, but it was quite convenient to me in my office, in the course of business, and I must confess I was somewhat surprised to be ousted, even in this little matter to make way for a boy. But I cannot believe, that you did it merely for the purpose of reminding me that you were "Governor," especially when I have give the Republican party my entire influence and support as long as you have, and have contributed to your success nearly as much as any one else. And still more especially, when I can prove in a court of justice if need be, that you are indebted to my personal friends who were in the convention for your nomination in lieu of Judd. I would have spoken of it to you when I was in Springfield in Feby. had I shall anticipated <hr /> a removal, The Office was not vacant & the commission ran till my successor was appointed and qualified. You have seen fit to remove me, without a cause, for you certainly had no reason personal or otherwise to do me an injury, unless you make it a rule to stiletto our friends and if that is your character, I have been very much mistaken in my estimate of it. I am not clamorous for executive favor. - and this that I had was a small one. - Indeed so small that it is scarcely worth quarrelling about, but I consider the removal a kind of a personal affront and don't like it and say so plainly.

The State of West Virginia, Executive Department. Wheeling, Dec 17th 1863. His Excellency, Richard Yates, Governor of Illinois, Springfield, Ill. Sir I enclose you a copy of a letter handed me by a friend a few days since, from which it will be seen that John Echols, is the owner of 21 lots in the City of Chicago in your State. This man, Echols, was a citizen of Monroe County, in this state, before the commencement of the rebellion. - He is now a Brigadier General in the rebel army, and is frequently on the border of our State, with his command, annoying the people very much by conscripting them, carrying off their property &c. My purpose in writing you is to ask that you will see that proceedings are commenced in the U.S. over <hr /> Court to confiscate the lots mentioned. I would write direct to the District attorney, but I fear he might neglect to attend to it, and I feel it my duty to see that the Government gets the benefit of whatever means such traitors may have in the loyal States. I can procure the means of Witnesses who will prove that they have seen Echols in the rebel service, and whose attendance can be had at the court when needed. Very Respectfully. A. J.
