M. White authorized us to place his name in our column as a candidate for Prosecuting Attorney of the 24th Judicial Circuit, subject to the Union Belleville Convention. He was a good Republican, Abolitionist, perhaps. About the middle of June, he made a speech in favor of J. C. Fremont in Belleville. A clear case of radical change of heart, perhaps. On the 23d of June he announced himself as an independent candidate for Prosecuting Attorney of the 24th Judicial Circuit, in the secesh Alton Democrat. Here he turns Seceder, sure. Some time in the month of July, perhaps, he made application, we are informed, to a commission in negro regiment. Here he gives evidence of returning to his first love. He seems to have rested in a blissful state of peace with himself and the people of the world, until last Saturday evening, when the great apostle of Peace, Dick Richardson, preached "McClellan, and him justified," in City Hall. The doors of the McClellan church being open at the close of the performance, J. M. White, went forward and declared himself a believer in the McClellan gospel of peace as set forth in Chicago Platform, and that henceforth, like the wandering dove, he should rest in the peaceful bosom of the McClellan wind of the Democracy.

Downers Grove Ill Oct 7th To the Govr of Ills Honored Sir I take the liberty of addressing a few lines too you hoping you will pardon the liberty that I take in intruding myself upon your Notice. The papers are full of speeches and appeals to the people, but I have not read a single line appealing too the Irish voters. Now Sir I ask you if it would not be worth while to try too bring them over too the good cause. I am an Irish Woman and the widow of an American and also the mother of his Seven Sons. Six of which Serve in the Union Army one in the 3rd Ill Cav, one in the 19th Ill on in the 20th Ill two in the 55th Ill one in the 106th Ill the Seventh a Boy of fifteen years remains at home with me, but I don't know for how long <hr /> two of his brothers has been home on furlough. they both belong to Shermans 15th A.C. one was wounded on the 28th of July and has gone back to his Regt. the other was wounded Augt 3rd and was not as fortunate as his Brother. he has been severely wounded and is now in the Genl Hospital at Chicago owing the hardships he has suffered coming home his wound was worse then when he left the front. I would not trouble you by addressing you if the Soldiers had been paid. believe me Sir that I have never availed myself of the provision made for mothers of Soldiers I dont belong to that class that suffer themselves too be placed upon the paupers list for sake of getting a little money Any Boy thinks it is his duty to go as we all fear his Brother will not be able to take part in the battles that are to be fought before Sherman brings his Army <hr /> by way of the Atlantic You cannot wonder then that my heart and Soul is in the Cause. where all that I have and all that loves me are battling in the Union Cause. being a Woman I am not at liberty to take up a musket and follow the loved ones to the field. But without the least vanity I believe I can be of benefit in the coming Struggle. that is as far as my county men are concerned I believe if I could travel and address my County men. I could prove to them that it would be to their benefit as well as to their Honor to vote for Mr Lincoln you know better than I whether you will Succeed without the Irish votes. or a part of them I will assure your Sir, that a greater part of the Irishmen have the capacity of appreciating the many priveliges they enjoy in America which is denied them in their own land. All I ask <hr /> the recompense I ask is a pass over the roads. You may think this request is absurd "and asks can anything good come out of Nazereth" I must answer as "Franklin did" when he was called upon to [compose?] he wrote "come and see" I have waited to this late day before I could dare to address you. Pardon me if you are not the proper person to address. I send this by hand you can return it to my messenger which will wait for the answer if you do not see fit to grant my request. if You do grant it this is my address Mistress Ann Warden, Lemonte, Cook Co.

Camp 43rd Regt Ills Inf. Vols. Little Rock, Ark. Oct. 6th 64 Governor: The undersigned Officers of this 43rd Regt Ills. Vols. most respectfully beg leave to represent to Your Excellency the following facts ,with the request that Your Excellency would take immediate steps, to secure us the ends which we wish to attain. According to the rules & regulations of the Muster-out of troops, the Hon. Veterans of our regiment would have to be mustered out by companies separately and successively as they were mustered in, in August and September 1861. Those of companies "A", "B", & "C" have accordingly been mustered out. The Mustering officer here contends that no company can be mustered out until after the expiration of the term from that date, where it had attained at least the minimum number of men; thus Companies "B" & "C" were not discharged until the 26th day of September, although these companies were mustered in almost a month previous to that time in 1861. Capt Pitcher of the regular Army mustered and accepted into the service of the U.S. eight companies of our regiment during the month of September 1861, although some of them had not at the time attained the minimum number of men and issued to each of the comdg officers a <hr /> copy of the Muster-in Role of their respective companies. These organizations have since continued to excist and be paid as such, fully officered to the present day, without the least objection ever being offered by the Government either through the Adjs General, who viewed the regular Muster Rolls, or it's Mustering and Disbursing Officers. Two more companies, "I" and "K" organized at Benton Barracks Mo and mustered-in, the former on the 8th and the latter on the 29th November had also not the requisite number of men, and never had since, but were nevertheless accepted as organizations and continued. On the 16th day of December the first 8 companies were again mustered and sworn by Lieut N. F. Swett, 13th U.S Inftry. This Officer promptly forwarded the Rolls of said Muster to Washington, which Captain Pitcher has evidently neglected to, for upon application being made by the regiment Comd'r for advice from the War Department when those Men belonging to companies, who never attained the Minimum, should be mustered out, as the case is not clearly defined in the general Mustering Regulations, answer was received here day before yesterday, that no more companies should be mustered out before the 16th of December 64, <hr /> as there was no record on File in the Adjt Genl's Office that any of the companies had been accepted previous to Lieut Swett's Muster on the 16th day of December 61. except Co "C" which company had previously been mustered by Capt Pitcher, and was entitled to be discharged Sept 5th 64. How that single roll came to the Adjt Genl's hands, and no other, is impossible for us to tell. At all rates the authority of Capt Pitcher's Muster is acknowledged and his signature on the roll retained by the company comdr's here, should be respected, and the men mustered out accordingly. The Adjt Genl. also confirms, that no company can be mustered out till after expiration of the term from the date where the same attained the Minimum Number. But the Government certainly does not want to thus formally press the men into it’s service. The Men swear on their Enlistment to serve Three Years, and after the faithfull performance of duty during this time they should be discharged. No one in this regiment will refuse nor grumble about serving a reasonable time beyond he term should excigencies demand it, and a good many now have thus already served over a month longer, but to be held, for mere sake of the want of a clearly defined rule in such a case as ours, some three <hr /> three months beyond the term, is decidedly unjust, and not carrying out the conditions of the mutual agreement between the soldier and the U.S. and we are certain this matter would immediately be attended to, if the facts are only brought to the Knowledge of the War Department. As however, before an answer can be received from Your Excellency, the space of time between this and the 16th day of December 64 will almost have transpired, we sincerely beg your Excellency, to secure for us at least this much as the War Department, that all the Men in the Regiment who have established prior to the 16th day of December 1861, will be discharged & mustered out at once on the same date in this Year, no matter whether the companies to which they belong were minimum companies at the respective time or not; so that the remaining portion of the regiment can be promptly consolidated and reorganized.

Hannibal Mo. Oct. 6th 1864 To his Excellency Gov. Yates of Illinois Sir:-- We come to you as the Representatives of the Loyal people of North Missouri in order to obtain your Kind Offices and esteemed influence, to the end that we may obtain assistance in the form of troops from our Sister States. It has been known for many months, that a formidable invasion of our State was organized and in Contemplation by Genl Sterling Price, and his allies in Missouri. Notwithstanding theses facts, our military affairs have been so managed as to find us unprepared to meet the emergency. This want of preparation has stripped North Mo. of nearly all of her troops being ordered South of the River to meet the advance of Genl Price. This state of things leaves a few <hr /> [Oct 6 1864] hundred untrained militia to contend against the fierce and ferocious bands of marauders under Wm. Anderson, Thrailkill, Todd, Davis Holtsclaw, Quantril, and others. These bands compose about three thousand men broken up into squads of from forty to one hundred and fifty; and Capable of sudden concentrations as at Centralia, and Mexico--where our little forces have been almost annihilitated. To meet this formidable enemy our Small militia force has to guard a number of towns and the H & St Ls R. R. the great thoroughfare to the West, upon which line of road one million of Government Stores are now in transit, to Fort Leavenworth, for the Army of the plains, now on half rations. Our Union people are being murdered daily, and nightly their persons and families outraged by these bands in the most barbarous and inhumane manner. <hr /> The juvenile, aged and infirm are refugees at Military Posts, or in other states, so far as they have been able to escape. A full discription of the horrors and sufferings of this people it is impossible to give; and and such is also the Condition of the people in the interior of South Missouri. In fact, South Missouri is almost depopulated; and without further assistance North Missouri must share the same fate within the next six weeks. The broad and emphatic declaration of these bands, often repeated, in their midnight assaults, and fiendish attacks upon defenceless soldiers -- "that every man within our power shall either vote for McLellan, leave the State or die." No election can be held in nine tenths of the State, next November, at which Union men Can vote, unless these bands are speedily driven out; and to do this, more troops are indispensible. <hr /> [Oct 6 1864] Gov Stone of Iowa has ten thousand armed militia at home, well organized and drilled, as he informed us, and says to us, that he will send us assistance, if it shall be asked for:--We have endeavored to reach Genl Rosecrans, by telegraph and by Letter; but all to no purpose. And we are now informed that the General has gone to the field himself. Here duty Compells us to say that disappointed and ambitious Generals are dangerous men to trust. And we desire through you to apply to the War Department by telegraph, for an order calling upon Gov. Stone for 3,000 men. They can vote in Camp. If Abraham Lincoln is disposed to assist the Union men of Mo. now is the time, and this the hour. We have done all we can ,--after being drawn upon for three years, we have our last reliable man in the field, but alas! they are too few. Hoping that you may feel it your duty to come to our relief <hr /> [Oct 6 1864] with your acknowledged influence and perfect knowledge of our situation, we extend to you the greatful acknowledgement of a plundered, suffering, and bleeding people.

Oakes tomorrow, He has been in hospital since Aug. 16th, a Physician's Certificate, shows him to have been unable to report for duty, & to be still suffering from ill health, unfit for service, and unable to rejoin his regiment. There seems to be some feeling against him on the part of one Hutton 3d Serg't. of the Co. who was promoted to his place after the removal of Miller, who was formerly third sergt. Hutton has made up a statement of material & immaterial matters, which he charges upon Miller the descriptive roll charges desertion only Which is explained I think by the certificate of the Physician who attended him, soon as able he reported here & went into the Hospital, where he was, when his descriptive roll came, having once through his Physician reported to Adj. Gen. Fuller who directed him to report at Chicago. Millers health will not permit him to travel (over) <hr /> to his Regt. and the prejudice of his Captain will tend to throw difficulties in his way. His old Col. (Moore of Ottawa) reports him entitled to a discharge which he Supposed he had received. Can you oblige me by having his case presented to Col. Oakes in as favorable light as possible & a trial ordered for him here where he has witnesses & friends Yours Very Respectfully E. M. Haines <hr /> Haines Hon EM Chicago Oct 6th 64 On behalf of Wm P. Miller. of Co D 104th Ills Regt. who is unjustly held there as a deserter, & is to be turned over to Col Oakes. Wants Govr. to have the case presented favorably to Col O. Ansd Oct 28th 64.
