&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Andantino.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. Hark the song of free--dom how it swells
val---ley, hill, and prai--rie wide, With thrill--ing
tones the toc--sin tells That dan--gers to our
land be-tide, That dan--gers to our land be-
tide; And see; from an--vil, loom, and plow, From
home, and moth--ers sa--cred tears They fly with
ar--dor on each brow, God bless our brave young
volunteers God bless our brave young vol--un-teers! 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. Still, Still the glo--rious num--bers ring, And
still they come our land to save, Let ev--ery
hear its trib--ute bring Of love, and hon--or
to the brave, Of love and hon--or to the
brave; May He pro--tect them in the strife Whose
o'er the star--ry flag ap--pears That He who
guard each pre--cious life And bless our brave young
vol--un-teers And bless &amp;amp;c.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. Oh home of free--dom, fa--ther-land, To
thee our treas--ures now we yield, Tis du---ty
calls, their feet must stand In tent--ed camp, on
blood--y field, In tent--ed camp, on blood--y
field; Fare-well true hearts our pray'rs shall be Where
o'er the starry flag ap--pears That He who
made our fa---thers free May bless our brave young
vol--un-teers May bless &amp;amp;c.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;words and music by

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Andantino.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. Hark the song of free--dom how it swells
val---ley, hill, and prai--rie wide, With thrill--ing
tones the toc--sin tells That dan--gers to our
land be-tide, That dan--gers to our land be-
tide; And see; from an--vil, loom, and plow, From
home, and moth--ers sa--cred tears They fly with
ar--dor on each brow, God bless our brave young
volunteers God bless our brave young vol--un-teers! 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. Still, Still the glo--rious num--bers ring, And
still they come our land to save, Let ev--ery
hear its trib--ute bring Of love, and hon--or
to the brave, Of love and hon--or to the
brave; May He pro--tect them in the strife Whose
o'er the star--ry flag ap--pears That He who
guard each pre--cious life And bless our brave young
vol--un-teers And bless &amp;amp;c.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. Oh home of free--dom, fa--ther-land, To
thee our treas--ures now we yield, Tis du---ty
calls, their feet must stand In tent--ed camp, on
blood--y field, In tent--ed camp, on blood--y
field; Fare-well true hearts our pray'rs shall be Where
o'er the starry flag ap--pears That He who
made our fa---thers free May bless our brave young
vol--un-teers May bless &amp;amp;c.

Oh, Star Spangled Banner! the Flag of our pride! Tho' trampled by traitors and basely defied, Fling out to the glad winds your Red, White and Blue, For the heart of the Northland is beating for you! And her strong arm is nerving to strike with a will Till the foe and his boastings are humbled and still! Here's welcome to wounding and combat and scars And the glory of death for the Stripes and the Stars!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2.
From prairie, O plowman! speed boldly away There's seed to be sown in God's furrows today Row landward lone fisher: stout woodman come home! Let smith leave his anvil and weaver his loom, And hamlet and city ring loud with the cry. "For God and our country we'll fight till we die!" Here's welcome to wounding and combat and scars And the glory of death for the Stripes and the Stars!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Entered according to Act of Congress A.D. 1861 by H.M. Higgins, in the Clerks Office of the District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.

Invincible Banner! the Flag of the Free!
O where treads the foot that would falter for thee?
And the hands to be folded till triumph is won
And the Eagle looks proud, as of old, to the sun?
Give tears for the parting - a murmur of prayer -
Then Forward! the fame of our standard to share!
With welcome to wounding and combat and scars
And the glory of death - for the Stripes and the Stars.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;New Star Spangled Banner.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4.
O God of our Fathers! this Banner must shine
Where battle is hottest, in warfare divine!
The cannon has thundered, the bugle has blown,-
We fear not the summons - we fight not alone!
O lead us, till wide from the Gulf of the Sea
The land shall be sacred to Freedom and Thee!
With love, for oppression; with blessing, for scars - 
One Country - one Banner - the Stripes and the Stars.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;New Star Spangled Banner.

The cannon has thundered, the bugle has blown,-
We fear not the summons - we fight not alone!
O lead us, till wide from the Gulf of the Sea
The land shall be sacred to Freedom and Thee!
With love, for oppression; with blessing, for scars - 
One Country - one Banner - the Stripes and the Stars.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;New Star Spangled Banner.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dr. Sir,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I herewith transmit several letters, recommendatory of Mr. John B. Turchin for the Colonelcy of the 19th Regiment Illinois Volunteers.  It was my intention to have delivered them to you personally, together with various documents now in the hands of Col. Turchin, received by him from the Russian Government, as evidence of his qualification for the place, but was prevented by accident.  However, you have promptly responded to our wishes, as communicated by Telegraph, and for which we sincerely thank you.  I have every reason to believe that 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Col. Turchin is the right man &amp;amp; will do credit &amp;amp; service &amp;amp; honor to the State.  Permit me to request that his Commission be made out, (or procured if from the general Government,) as soon as practicable, as the men are impatient for a head to bring them into proper discipline.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I would be much gratified, if consistent, to learn your intentions respecting the equipments of this Regiment &amp;amp; when &amp;amp; where they will be received - with a view to continue the good feeling now prevailing in the ranks &amp;amp; to aid in the matter if necessary.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very respectfully
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your obt. sevt.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;James Long

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Am in receipt of your letter of 7th inst. from Washington - and am sorry the telegram did not reach you sooner. I still hope your arrangements are not so far matured as to prevent cooperation in forming a regiment.  The companies to compose the 3 regts accepted now under orders to proceed to Camp Butler are of the best material the State affords, and it occurs to me that a regiment formed under State auspices will secure a more speedy &amp;amp; satisfactory organization 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;than to leave the labor of procuring necessary material to individual effort.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is possible that the supplies you have procured may be turned to State account.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is my great desire that the Officers of all the regiments be selected solely on their fitness for the respective positions and would cheerfully consider such names you might be pleased to propose and advise with you particularly in relation to those connected with your regiment, in fact leave the distinctive features of the organization &amp;amp;c to your judgment and discretion.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Am in receipt of your letter of 7th inst. from Washington - and am sorry the telegram did not reach you sooner. I still hope your arrangements are not so far matured as to prevent cooperation in forming a regiment.  The companies to compose the 3 regts accepted now under orders to proceed to Camp Butler are of the best material the State affords, and it occurs to me that a regiment formed under State auspices will secure a more speedy &amp;amp; satisfactory organization 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;than to leave the labor of procuring necessary material to individual effort.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is possible that the supplies you have procured may be turned to State account.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is my great desire that the Officers of all the regiments be selected solely on their fitness for the respective positions and would cheerfully consider such names you might be pleased to propose and advise with you particularly in relation to those connected with your regiment, in fact leave the distinctive features of the organization &amp;amp;c to your judgment and discretion.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The undersigned Officers of the United States Forces stationed in Paducah Ky. would take great pleasure in recommending to your Excellency the appointment of Captain &lt;u&gt;Edward T. Wallace&lt;/u&gt; of the 11th Regiment of Indiana Volunteers to a position as Field Officer in one of the Volunteer Regiments of the State of Illinois now in the field or organizing.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Captain Wallace is a citizen of the State of Illinois, residing in Cole County, and is anxious to serve among the troops of his own State, being temporarily in Indiana at the time of the breaking out of the Rebellion, he was elected to the position he now holds upon the organization of the 11th Regiment of Indiana Volunteers, serving as such in the campaign of said Regiment in Maryland, and Virginia with credit to himself, and the service; and since the reorganization of the Regiment for service during the war has been stationed in Paducah Ky. The undersigned Officers of this garrison bear willing testimony to the character of Captn Wallace as a soldier, and gentleman, and to his ability as an Officer, and feel confident that an appointment conferred on him by your Excellency is well deserved.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I can recommend Capt. Wallace as very well qualified to command a Regiment.  His experience and his courage and ability can be made more useful at the Head of Regiment than in command of a company

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I take great pleasure in transmiting to you the accompanying paper.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Captain Wallace is a son of the late Genl Wallace of Indiana, and a brother of Genl Wallace of Paducah, and I warmly concur in recommending him to your favorable notice.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I trust you will take the first opportunity to place Capt Wallace in command of a Regiment.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your &amp;amp;c

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Captain Wallace is a citizen of the State of Illinois, residing in Cole County, and is anxious to serve among the troops of his own State, being temporarily in Indiana at the time of the breaking out of the Rebellion, he was elected to the position he now holds upon the organization of the 11th Regiment of Indiana Volunteers, serving as such in the campaign of said Regiment in Maryland, and Virginia with credit to himself, and the service; and since the reorganization of the Regiment for service during the war has been stationed in Paducah Ky. The undersigned Officers of this garrison bear willing testimony to the character of Captn Wallace as a soldier, and gentleman, and to his ability as an Officer, and feel confident that an appointment conferred on him by your Excellency is well deserved.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I can recommend Capt. Wallace as very well qualified to command a Regiment.  His experience and his courage and ability can be made more useful at the Head of Regiment than in command of a company
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nov. 26 1861     
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very Respectfully
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;E. A. Paine

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I take great pleasure in transmiting to you the accompanying paper.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Captain Wallace is a son of the late Genl Wallace of Indiana, and a brother of Genl Wallace of Paducah, and I warmly concur in recommending him to your favorable notice.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I trust you will take the first opportunity to place Capt Wallace in command of a Regiment.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your &amp;amp;c
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;W H. Hanna
