Don't delay this. Do it if it costs the lives of enough of them to terrify the Copperheads into submission. We are on the eve of the great struggle of the war and you must all work as if the issues were in your hands. The late developements prove that the rebels are not only driving into the ranks all men between the ages of 18 and 55. but arming the negroes and you need not be surprised when I tell you that the inducements offered them being the same – they prefer the rebel service to ours. The rebels offer them freedom and the hope of remaining at their present homes. - and mark the prediction - these men we have quarrelled over to the point of civil war. will to a great extent, be found in arms against us.

Murfreesboro March 19th 1863 My Dear Governor A few day since I received through the politeness of Mr. Hishbach a copy of your very kind letter to Mr. Lincoln in my behalf. Beyond a discharge of the duties devolving upon me as commander of the 84th Ills to the best of my abilities, I have made no efforts for promotion and shall make none. Such a letter however from so good a Governor of so great a state let me assure you is very gratifying. Aside from a desire to contribute something towards crushing the Rebellion I was am bitious that the 84th should win something more than a mere place among the many Regiments sent by our gallant State into the field. Proud of the patient <hr /> endurance of our brave boys on the march through Kentucky and Tennessee and of their gallantry in the Battle before Murfreesboro I could not with any heart even hope for a promotion that might separate us now. Trusting that we may come out of this next conflict with our fair name untarnished. I am my Dear Governor with many thanks for your kindness and esteem. Your friend & obv. Sevt S. H. Waters <hr /> Col S H Waters 84 th Regt Ill Vol Murfreersboro March 19'1863 Has received a copy of the letter written to Mr Lincoln in his behalf, says he shall make no effort for promotion but such a letter from so good a Governor of so great a state is truly gratifying M.

Quincy, March 20, 1863 Dear Gov: I enclose, herewith, a letter from Mrs. Cox, one of our most intelligent, influential and patriotic ladies. Her husband, Col John C Cox, of this city, has been in the service since early in the war, and is now on the staff of Genl McPherson. Her son Rowland is a youth of much more than ordinary ability, and of devoted loyalty and patriotism. He was at College at Princeton N.J. and quit his studies to give his services to his country in the “Anderson Cavalry” of Penna: which he joined as a private. For five days he shared the fortunes of the fight, and took his chances for wounds, and death, at Murfreesboro, where a majority of his companions dishonored their Regiment, by stacking their arms, and refusing to appear upon the field. He is a gallant young man, and <hr /> does not wish longer to remain connected with that Regiment. He deserves something at the hands of his state, and will do it honor if the opportunity be afforded. He wishes to serve with Illinois troops. Is it too much to ask for him a Lieutenancy? He certainly deserves it, and if you can bestow it I will acknowledge it as a great personal favor to myself, as well as an act of honorable justice to him. Truly your friend O. H. Browning <hr /> P H Browning Quincy March 20 1863 Encloses a letter from Mrs Anne J Cox who has a son in Andersons Cavalry, is a young man of more than ordinary ability and of devoted loyalty and patriotism.

Quincy, March 20, 1863 Dear Gov: I enclose, herewith, a letter from Mrs. Cox, one of our most intelligent, influential and patriotic ladies. Her husband, Col John C Cox, of this city, has been in the service since early in the war, and is now on the staff of Genl McPherson. Her son Rowland is a youth of much more than ordinary ability, and of devoted loyalty and patriotism. He was at College at Princeton N.J. and quit his studies to give his services to his country in the “Anderson Cavalry” of Penna: which he joined as a private. For five days he shared the fortunes of the fight, and took his chances for wounds, and death, at Murfreesboro, where a majority of his companions dishonored their Regiment, by stacking their arms, and refusing to appear upon the field. He is a gallant young man, and <hr /> does not wish longer to remain connected with that Regiment. He deserves something at the hands of his state, and will do it honor if the opportunity be afforded. He wishes to serve with Illinois troops. Is it too much to ask for him a Lieutenancy? He certainly deserves it, and if you can bestow it I will acknowledge it as a great personal favor to myself, as well as an act of honorable justice to him. Truly your friend O. H.

(copy.) Philadelphia, March 20, 1863. Major Genl John A Logan, Army of the Mississippi &c. Dear General: Just before leaving Washington I was very much surprised and mortified to learn that the Senate had no confirmed your nomination as Major General. I immediately called upon Mr. Lincoln, who also expressed his great regret. He agreed with me that the rejection was most uncalled for and unfortunate. Having important business here, I was called away before I could obtain a definite promise from Mr. Lincoln for your reappointment. I, however, directed my aid and friend, Col. Forrest, of Chicago, to remain in Washington and, in my behalf, earnestly press the subject of your renomination upon the President. Mr. Forrest did so, and the President expressed to him his deep mortification at your rejection, and agreed with me fully in the opinion that it was not only unjust and ungenerous to you, but a serious blow at the large interest and wide <hr /> spread public sentiment in the State so ably represented by yourself. Col. Forrest earnestly requested in my behalf, your renomination, as due to you and to the [war?] democracy, and used every argument in his power in doing so. The President responded that he would do what he could in the matter—in fact any thing short of forcing the renomination against the advise and consent of his [advisers?]. I have also spoken to Mr. Swett and others upon the subject; and Mr S. promised to call on the President with Col. Forrest, but did not do so. Mr. Swett voluntarily called upon me in regard to the matter. I have also written a letter to the President, of which I enclose a copy. Believe me, my dear General, that I will do all in my power to see you righted in this matter. It has deeply [illegible] and offended me, as no doubt it will thousands of other loyal men in the State. With best regards to self and mutual friends in the army. I am, my dear General, Your friend and obt. Servnt, Richd. Yates, Governor. Status The current transcription status of a document or a page.
