&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov. Richard Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The communication of the Governor of Indiana in regard to the lowering of the dam of the Calumet feeder to the Illinois &amp;amp; Michigan canal has been forwarded to me as the attorney of the Board. I have given the subject much consideration, &amp;amp; believe I can satisfy the Governor of Indiana that Illinois has a legal right to maintain the dam.  My brief &amp;amp; papers on the subject are at Chicago.  Will you please advise the Gov. Morton that the papers are 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;referred to me, &amp;amp; ask him to postpone any action until adjournment of Congress, or at least until I could go to Chicago &amp;amp; obtain my papers.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I hope the passage of the bill providing for the enlargement of the canal, &amp;amp; the early completion of the work, making Lake Michigan the feeder, will render this Calumet feeder of little importance.  But until this is done, it is of very great importance.  Please advise me of reply of Gov. Morton as early as convenient.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very Truly Yours
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Isaac N. Arnold
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Atty for Board of Canal Trustees
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hon. I.N. Arnold
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mch 25.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Calumet river dam.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Write Gov. Morton requesting delay &amp;amp; give him Copy of the within
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Genl
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I write to tell you that the moment I got home, I gave the order for promotion of Schwartz &amp;amp; Stewart, and that Commissions were forwarded immediately, very sorry to learn through Col Dunlap you had not recd. them.  Have tired to carry out all your requests as near as might be.  Don't you know of some place for Lieut H. C. Freeman, to which I might appoint him?  The Regiments now in the field will not tolerate the appointment of a man, not belonging to the
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;File 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sent Copy Substantially
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Copy to Genl McClernand.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Regiment.  If you can find a vacancy where it would be at all agreeable to have him go I shall be happy on his account and also on your's especially to appoint him.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I believe it will afford you pleasure to know that I have triumphed gloriously over the Convention.  They confess to being whipped out in all their assaults against me.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Genl I thought I could see a little feeling among certain ones of your own party not to give you full credit for your great services, but rest assured that the masses of the democratic party and all the Republicans rank and file have the warmest feelings for you.  The conspicuous and pre-eminent service you rendered at Fort Donelson is well understood, and highly appreciated. Let me assure you that I miss no occasion to do you justice; and that it affords me pleasure to do it.  
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your friend 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Richd Yates.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Regiment.  If you can find a vacancy where it would be at all agreeable to have him go I shall be happy on his account and also on your's especially to appoint him.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I believe it will afford you pleasure to know that I have triumphed gloriously over the Convention.  They confess to being whipped out in all their assaults against me.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Genl I thought I could see a little feeling among certain ones of your own party not to give you full credit for your great services, but rest assured that the masses of the democratic party and all the Republicans rank and file have the warmest feelings for you.  The conspicuous and pre-eminent service you rendered at Fort Donelson is well understood, and highly appreciated. Let me assure you that I miss no occasion to do you justice; and that it affords me pleasure to do it.  
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your friend 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Richd Yates.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To his Excellency Gov. Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sir.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have learned from my brother of your purpose to make an effort to obtain for him a position in the Government service.  Permit me to say that nothing could be more gratifying to me than your success in this endeavour; and also to ask, for his sake - which I can do without stammering or hot flashes in the cheek - that you give this matter such a place in your memory that the pressure of more important ones will not crowd it out.  I can but beleive that the prompter of this kindness to him was an appreciation of his merit, which I feel confident will grow with you as he has opportunity to make more manifest his accuracy and fidelity in business and his gratitude to one who has once befriended him.  I am
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;sorry that I cannot show you how much I shall be rejoiced with his good fortune by having something to sacrifice in his behalf. But if I had been so fortunate as to have served you and the public as to have created claim to your consideration, you could in no way so gratefully and completely cancel them as by bestowing a benefit upon him. I once besought you on my own account. You frankly put me aside for your brother, and I am one of the number who approve and honor that action, for I hear his worthiness confirmed by other mouths than yours. In these stormy times you have done much to command the admiration and gratitude of your countryman, but nothing that raises you so high in my estimation as the moral courage which braves the public fling for the sake of justice to your brother.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am, Sir, very respectfully 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your obdt. svt.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;R. C. Rutherford.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir  I got home well and found nearly all opposed to our new constitution in advance. I have however fully satisfied myself of one thing. That is that the secession wing of the Democratic party understand themselves as well in the Southern part of Illinois as they do about Springfield and that that party will use their whole power to elect the new constitution. Every man whom I have heard to express himself for the new constitution is of that class.  Outside of these no one is for it here. I fear with
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;vote of Cook County, Peoria, Ottaway, Springfield and Mt. Vernon (which places are made to be interested on account of their Supreme Courts) that the new constitution will be adopted and if adopted I fear that in consequence of the mode of voting on certain separate articles that certain articles will be adopted and if so we will come near a revolution in our own state. I allude to the three articles on the negro. I am determined to use my influence against this new constitution. If I liked it as well as the old still I would prefer the old.  Because I think it best to hold the public mind (during this rebellion) as much
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;as possible free and against all changes. For a change in our state constitution is but sowing the seeds of a further desire of change. and again to elect the new constitution is but to build up a party, the members of which are full of treason.  I find my appointment as states attorney gives general satisfaction here, and I have made all right with Davidge by engaging him to prosecute for me at Caledonia the first Count.  If you conclude to convene the Legislature please write me. For it is my intention to cooperate with no party except the Union party till this Rebellion is put down &amp;amp; them [neither?]  We have nothing here of interest. I found our city pretty nearly under water but it
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;is now receding.
