Yates Sir: The bearer of this letter Robt G. Smith, is a resident of Jersey Co some 8 miles from Alton. He will inform you about the desperate Condition of things in that County. He has been robbed, driven from his home at night, & narrowly escaped assassination. This gang of secession robbers are secreted by people there. They have stolen much property horses, and several instances large sums of money. They cannot be caught by a days labor or attention. It may take weeks to do it. No force can be had here. A small cavalry force should be immediately and as secretly>/u> as possible placed in reach of the county; and in a reasonable length of time <hr /> I doubt not, they will be brought to punishment and those harboring them discovered. If it is permitted to proceed a desperate Condition will soon follow With Respect Yours &c H.G. McPike Sen. White or Col. Oakes Provost Marshall Please give W Smith a hearing and do what you can. I have numerous letters on the same subject & have no doubt some steps should be taken. As the Governor has no power except in cases of actual insurrection I know not what to do.

Servt. H. G. McPike <hr /> The Daily Telegraph. Alton, Illinois. Friday Evening Aug. 19, 1864. Meeting. - Gen. Rosecrans. On last Monday evening, according to previous notice Gen. Rosecrans met out citizens at the City Hall to present to them a plan to organize a regiment, to be known as "Alton Guards." The meeting was organized by the appointment of Mayor Hollister as chairman. R. W. English and W. T. Miller Vice Presidents; H. G. McPike Sec'y and D. D. Ryrie As't Sec'y. The General being introduced, was received with much enthusiasm. He proceeded to explain the object of his coming to Alton: "He said he desired to have a regiment organized in the city of Alton, to be called the "Alton Guards," who should stay at Alton - not to go into the field. I hope to show you the way to accomplish the organization. I want a home guard - a regiment of good men, a military organization that I will not be ashamed of. To effect this we want the joint action of citizens. The city of Alton can furnish this regiment. It will not go to the field but the duties will nevertheless be arduous. Guard duty you will find a hard duty; I draw your attention to [illegible], that officers drilled should be had, or [illegible] officers who stand highly in this community. I cannot too strongly impress upon you the importance of making it a good regiment - so you will be proud of it, not ashamed for visitors to examine it. I shall stay here to-morrow, and you will select men for the officers of the regiment. I want it to be an Alton Regiment, and not a party matter, but an organization to be proud of. Therefore, take council, and select your officers, and I will see you to-morrow. As to the pay the men will get, the bounty will be one hundred dollars, and each man will be credited on the draft. At the end of twevle months we hope and trust there may not be any need of a draft. There is a matter I would refer to the citizens: while the country is in trouble we owe the country service. Here tofore Illinois has done nobly. While citizens are getting three or four dollars per day, it would be unreasonable to expect them to come forward without some assistance. We should make up the difference between the Government pay and usual citizen's wages. Let the city and county supply funds to make up that difference. Having said thus much, I will submit the whole matter to your action. The General took his seat amid hearty cheers. General Copeland, Dr. Rutherford and R. W. English, each made pertinent remarks in furtherance of the same object. General Rosecrans arose and said, "I propose that a working committee be appointed to select officers and raise means.

Alton Aug 24 1864 Gov. R. Yates, Sir:---Your dispatch of yesterday, just came to hand late this afternoon. Consequently could not answer before evening mail. We have again consulted about the proper course to persue. We learn that while Rogers declares he wants to see the Rebels whipped yet he is against the Administration and all unconstitutional acts: we were not deceived in this. His brother Dr. Rogers who was in the army with the same bitter Democratic prejudices, resigned his place, came home, and is now more bitter than ever. We have looked at the matter in all its bearings, and this is the Conclusion,viz:---Roger's present associates are our bitterest Democrats and wire pullers, and will continue to be---his sympathies have been, and we have good reason to believe will continue to be with them. Our Mayor---Hollister---is his right-hand man and in connection with Dr English. R. P. [Tansey?] & others, it will become thoroughly a Democratic concern They known what they are fighting for---the control of Madison County---and are putting forth every exertion; for it is their only hope to gain the county <hr /> One man only that has been conversed with this morning, can see no danger, and he is H. S. Baker; what his purposes or designs may be we cannot say, but he represents no one here, being considered a halfway man---has never been consulted by the union party. I was instrumental in placing him in the place he has, because he could do us no harm; and if he would could do us some good. There is no safety here on this border, and in view of coming events to have a man in Command here where there is 1,000 Rebels inside the walls & a large number of graded men from Rebels to Constitutional Democrats outside the walls. There is no safety with a man in Command, who is opposed to the Constituted Authorities. We hope Gen Rosecrans has not become a partisan in this matter. Maj Geo. Abbott has been at work every day to insure the organization of said Regiment. He supposed he was able to Command it, from the appointment which he received, (a copy of which you have) and we had every reason to believe so. The whole matter is a Democratic move and for political purposes. You have the power to defeat it. We are crushed if you do not. With this Regiment in our hands, we are <hr /> safe from all dangers. We care much less for other offices, but give us Command. You already know our choice, which has been brought forward with all the strength we have. The Democrats have withdrawn R.W English for Lt. Col. for fear they would fail to get Command, while our people have suggested Drs. Williams and Gullick as the Surgeons. We want the first or original list if we can get them (you have the list.) for as they disregard the Compromise , we are not bound. But we feel, to have any hope left, we must have Command, let what else go as it may. You know how to manage this matter. Don't let any new quibble defeat the main object, for they are full of them Truly H. G.
