Camp Butler Aug 31 1861 Governor, The following is my dispatch to the Times. It speaks for itself. Respectfully, John Belser FROM CAMP BUTLER. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Times. CAMP BUTLER, Sangamon Co., Ill., Aug. 30. Governor Yates to-day made the following appointments: Captain C. J. Tinkham, of Champaign county, Lieutenant-Colonel; Robert A. Gillmore, of Chicago, Major; S. A, Buckmaster, Jr., of Alton, Adjutant; and C. A. Nasero, of Chicago, Quartermaster, of the Twenty-sixth Regiment, Colonel Loomis. Philip B. Fouke, Colonel; Ellias S. Dennis, Lieutenant-Colonel; and Thomas A. McClurken, Major, of the Thirtieth Regiment. Lafayette McCrillis, Lieutenant-Colonel; and Thomas Homer, Major, of the Third Cavalry Regiment. Of the above-named officers, I know seven to be staunch democrats, which refutes the assertion that it is the intention of the Governor to allow political preferences to control him in the selection of the field-officers of the regiments now in course of organization here. The plan of forming regiments of companies from the different Congressional districts has been abandoned, and regiments are now organized as fast as companies arrive on the ground. Companies continue to arrive in large numbers, principally from Egypt. Southern Illinois has been well tried, and, so far from having been found wanting, she has far exceeded the most sanguine expectations of all, in the numbers of her loyal sons who are offering themselves to battle for their country. <hr /> John Belser Misc File Status The current transcription status of a document or a page.

Office Aug 31, 1861 Gov Yates Dear Sir I could not come to see you this afternoon. A week today I recd. a letter from Mr. Grimshaw for you, which he requested me to deliver in person, but circumstances, have prevented. I now send it. Mr. Grimshaw cannot accept the place you offer him, which he repeats in a letter I received this morning. He is now in Pike. My brother who passed through here on thursday thought he might yet accept, but he probably ought not to do so. The regiment as constituted is one of the best in the field – and I wish they could have a military man to command them. I now <hr /> suggest that you appoint Hon William Kellogg - who is a resident of that district ,and who is understood to desire a regiment. There are some other reasons which might be assigned why it would be proper to appoint him. I herewith send you another letter in their connection. Yours truly O.M. Hatch P.S. I beg leave to remind you that you have a Secretary of State who is willing and ready to assist you at any time. O.M.H. <hr /> Hatch recommends William Kellogg for Colonel.

Office Aug 31, 1861 Gov Yates Dear Sir I could not come to see you this afternoon. A week today I recd. a letter from Mr. Grimshaw for you, which he requested me to deliver in person, but circumstances, have prevented. I now send it. Mr. Grimshaw cannot accept the place you offer him, which he repeats in a letter I received this morning. He is now in Pike. My brother who passed through here on thursday thought he might yet accept, but he probably ought not to do so. The regiment as constituted is one of the best in the field – and I wish they could have a military man to command them. I now <hr /> suggest that you appoint Hon William Kellogg - who is a resident of that district ,and who is understood to desire a regiment. There are some other reasons which might be assigned why it would be proper to appoint him. I herewith send you another letter in their connection. Yours truly O.M. Hatch P.S. I beg leave to remind you that you have a Secretary of State who is willing and ready to assist you at any time. O.M.H. <hr /> Hatch recommends William Kellogg for Colonel.
