In my absence you Telegraph was recd Mr. McGrath saw fit to answer it in a manner that would lead you to believe every thing was right in refference to our business. Now my dear friend I assure you this is not the case, since the arrival of Gov Wood in this City, which was Yesterday one week, & staid here but part of two days, & started for N. York & was to return in two days as he said, to give us part of the Contract, providing we were lower in other bid than the party in N. York, “this I think were his own words” to viz “ That he would not make any contract in N York until he returned & seen us, which would only have been fair. & in accordance with his own promis, as he had seen all of our samples, & was desidedly pleased with them. & acknowledged that they were superior to the Quatermasters department of this City. We informed him that we were ready to take the contract as it was offered, the whole or part, then he commenced saying, he would give us a small contract to bid for, which we gave him the bids for every thing he put in the schedule, amounting to some Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars, <hr /> This with a sample of our Caps, which he requested us to give, to take with him to N. York it being the same cap You saw in Springfield, acknowledged to be superior to his, Our bid was 78 Cts, but give the caps to the same party that had already mod a lot of money, when materials was much lower, & could well make them for the 75 cents, which was altogether rong. as I am satisfied that no living man can make the same cap lower than our bid, & so failed to come up to his promis, which was not to make any contract until he seen us, so with the Horse Equipment, Socks, Blankets &c &c. which he has given out in New York, All this Dear Govonor looks as if though he did not mean or wish to give us any show, I can assure you that he & Mr Hopkins & Butler are closeted together all the time, as they sent for samples of our goods to be sent to the St. [Nikles?] hotel, which was not fair. after seeing them here & then to compare samples against whole pieces which no doubt was at the suggestion of Mr Hopkins, Instead of me sending the samples by express. I sent Dr Filbert our partner in this matter to check [illegible] any such opposations, if such was intended, notwithstanding all these disadvantages against us, our bids were lower than Hopkins by between 30 & 40 thousands Dollars, which was only part of the contract, & had <hr /> it been the whole amount as set down in the schedule I brought with me, it would have been a bout a difference of at least from 125 to 150 Thousand Dollars. Gov Wood acknowledged that he had been [shaved?] & taken in, in his former contracts, Notwithstanding all this, I am afraid our chances are slim, which in my opinion he does not feel disposed to show us any favour, which has proved to be the fact so far, by his giving out part of the contracts in N York, which he promist to give us a fair show for, Instead of staying in N. York two days as he said, eh has already been there a week & over. & dont know when he will return, which makes us feel our chances very slime, notwithstanding our bids being much lower than any of Hopkins bids, & equal in quality of goods, if not superior to any they would furnish. This man Hopkins has a large house in Cincinatta, not a New Yorker as we supposed, as Gov Wood has found out as well as ourselves. Please excuse these facts, but I thought I would give them to You as they have occurred. I conclude with my & my familes highest regards to Mrs Yates, Yourself & children, & do hope You have entirely recovered from that dreadfull wound, dont forget to Kiss Heny, Katy, & little Dickey <hr /> for me, with many good wishes, & high regards for Your future welfare, hoping that I may see the time when I can repay You & Your good Lady, for the Kindness shown me when with You, often do I think of them.

We have been very busy ever since we came here looking into matters, as to supplies prices &c. and have not made any contracts so far. We have the prices of several very large dealers in this city, and their proposals to furnish from one hundred thousand to one million worth figured as they say as low as the Goods can be bought but none of hem are as low as the house in Phila propose. And I believe Gov Wood will not contract here for anything. he is not much inclined to make very heavy contracts before he comes home but he will give Sarmiento something it may amount to two or three hundred thousand Dollars. And when once under way I have no doubt they will be able to continue their contracts as long as they do the right thing I have just this moment receid your dispatch which I will answer immediately.

State of Illinois Executive Department. Springfield Nov. 28th. 1861 Col. W. R. Morrison Dear Sir! Your's of the 28th is received. I had a full conversation with Col. Allen, and he very magnanimously said that though he had incurred much expense, & had set his heart upon doing what he could, in your Regiment, yet, he would not suffer his personal wishes and interests to stand between him and his Country, and that he would tender his resignation. I presume that Maj. Hay occupies the same position. As they have placed their resignations in your hands, this leaves you at liberty to fill up your Regiment, - the obstacles, as you viewed them, now being removed. I had hoped, and still would hope, that some arrangements could be made, by which you could be filled up, and these excellent gentlemen retain their places; but as this, <hr /> perhaps, could not be effected so soon as might be desirable to you, you had better accept the resignations, and proceed to fill up by other appointments. Today, I suggested to Mr. Crouch, and also, to Col. Hunter, to join you; I do not know that they will give it much consideration. Very respectfully, Richd Yates Copy W. R. Morrison.

General Head Quarters, STATE OF MINNESOTA, Adjutant General's Office, SAINT PAUL, Nov. 29th, 1861. To the Commissioned Officers of the Minnesota Volunteers. GENTLEMEN:--It is deemed proper to announce, for the benefit of all concerned, the principles governing the State Authorities in organizing new regiments and in making promotions after regiments have been fully organized. It is of the utmost importance in a volunteer service like the present to secure and continue the support of all parties and every section of the State, as public feeling and sentiment and the public interests are at a time like the present closely united. Hence the locality of men to be appointed, the service rendered in raising volunteers, &c., &c., must be taken into consideration, and will have great weight in all cases, except when parties can be found of military education, experience, and capacity, who are willing to enter the service and take command. In organizing new regiments, all appointments (whether conferred upon citizens of the State or upon men in the rank or file of older regiments) are appointments "de novo" and are not promotions in a military sense, but are made upon the principles above indicated. And it is desired that these appointments should not be looked upon in the light of promotions. It is considered that a promotion is a transfer of an officer of one rank to the office of another rank of higher grade already in existence. But in making appointments for new regiments, the appointment and commission creates the office. So when appointments and commissions for a new regiment are conferred upon officers of the older regiments, it is not to be understood or inferred that this is done by promotion or on account of extraordinarily meritorious conduct, but because, in view of all the circumstances and considerations that should enter into the determination of the matter, and especially the locality of the appointee, such appointment is deemed to be the best for the service and the country. The following rule of promotion will be applied in filling all vacancies occurring in regiments after they are once fully organized and have passed beyond the immediate control of the State Government:- Promotions to field offices will be made regimentally - to line offices by companies. <hr /> Each regiment and each company will for this purpose be considered a separate military organization and not a part of the Minnesota Army nor part of a Corps de Armee; and no promotions will be made from one regiment to another nor from one company to another. The above rule will be adhered to in all cases, unless the commanding officer of the regiment shall represent that the party entitled to be promoted under the rule is incompetent for the position vacated In adopting this rule, we are conscious that it does not conform to the rules of the regular army of the United States. But you will perceive that there is a wide difference between the volunteer and the regular service. In the regular service men are enlisted from various sections of the country, with no acquaintance and with no attachment for each, and the men enlist as privates with little if any hope of promotion, and are usually a different class of men, with aspirations and ambitions far inferior to those who enlist in the volunteer service. Many of these are among the most respectable of our citizens, and whole companies generally come from the same neighborhood or county, feeling often as if they were members of the same family, and claiming, as it now seems to us rightly, that whatever office, honor or emolument falls to any one company should be conferred upon that alone, and not be transferred to others no more meritorious. The enlisted men of each company qualified for the position of commissioned officers, of whom there are many in our regiments, are, as it seems to us, entitled to chances of promotions the same and to the same extent as the commissioned officers. This opportunity the men of each company could not have, if promotions were by the rule of the regular army. There would seem to be little justice in a rule, that, when a company by extraordinary exposure and valor on the field of battle should lose one, two or three of its officers, would supply their places with men from another company less exposed. The same reasoning would apply with greater force to regiments. For the above reasons, with many others, the rule above stated seems to us at present to be the most equitable and just towards all the officers and men of our volunteer service. But we have no such pride of opinion in regard to this matter as will induce us to adhere to the rule for a single moment after it shall be made to appear to work inequitably, or the reason for it cease to exist, or any other or better rule be adopted by other States or the Federal Government and brought to our attention.

New York. Novr 29 1861. Dear Govr. Gov Wood received a Dispatch last night from his store keeper in Springfield Capt. Allen saying that he was not issuing any goods and urging Gov Wood to come home immediately. We were to have gone to Philadelphia last night and after making some few contacts with Sarmiento & Co. to return to Springfield but after the Govr got the Dispatch he concluded to return home at once and has directed me to go to Phila and make the contracts for him. I will leave here to night and shall remain in Phila until I hear from you and him. I will make contacts with Sarmiento & Co. for such articles as Gov Wood may order from Springfield and he desires to confer freely with you as to quantity &c. I have telegraphed you this morning also to Sarmiento & Co. Your friend Martin H. Cassell <hr /> M.H. Cassell Status The current transcription status of a document or a page.
