Olney Ills. Oct. 1st 1864 To His Excellency Gov. Yates. Dear Sir, Parden me for calling your attention to the recent murder, at Quincy in this State, of my Son Lewis Wright---a Soldier---by one Oliver F. Cornman who called himself a "Missouri bushwhacker," in a manner that I think calls for his arrest, trial and punishment by a military court. Said Lewis Wright was a private in Com "C." 63rd Ills. Vol. but on account of sickness in the Summer of 1863, was transfered to the Vet Reserve Corpse, and in April last was sent to Capt. Asbury Provost Marshal at Quincy Ills. as one of his guards. The evidence in the case is about as follows, (as I saw the written statements of three witnesses, in the hands of Capt. Asbury) On the evening of the 8th of Sept./64, while Wright was standing on the sidewalk near the Provost Marshal's office in Quincy, engaged in a friendly and social conversation with two citizens of his acquaintance, they were rudely accosted by one of two persons <hr /> (2) who came up and spoke insultingly to them, but on receiving no answer, walked a few steps past, halted, came back and this man Cornman challenged them for a fight, addressing himself to Wright, and said he would bet him One hundred dollars against fifty that he could whip him, saying something about Soldiers at the same time, to which Wright replied that if he was a Soldier, he was a civil man and would have no disturbence with a citizen, that he would "not fight a citizen". Cornman urged for a fight and became more boisterous. Wright, in a mild manner, repeated his former remarks, to which Cornman said he was "no citizen." Wright asked him what he was? if he was neither citizen nor soldier? Cornman said "I am a Missouri bushwhacker." The two took hold of each other. Wright struck Cornman with his fist and knocked him down. Cornman jumped up came at him swearing and threatening. Wright knocked him down again in like manner, and commenced striking him in the face. The other fellow who came up with Cornman caught Wright about the shoulders and threw him back some distance. Wright fell to his hands & knees. <hr /> (3) and as he was getting up Cornman commenced shooting at him with a revolver, discharged four shots in quick succession. and wheeled and runn. Wright fell at the first shot & commenced getting up---fell again at the second shot & made no effort to get up. Two of the shots were fatal,---one taking effect in the bowels, and the other in the lungs---a third a small flesh wound. Wright lingered about 46 hours and died conscious of having given no offence. Cornman, though a stranger to Wright and unknown to him or to those who were with him at the time of the shooting---turned up to be a citizen of Quincy, and was arrested and is jail on a formal charge of murder to await his trial before the Circuit Court. I do not like to impugn the motives of others, but I have little doubt the matter will be baffled in the Circuit Court---put off, and finally the criminal go with but little or no punishment, whereas a military Court is the proper one to try "bushwhackers," and where justice would be sure. Permit me to say (although Lewis was my son) that I know, and I have it from his officers and fellow soldiers, that he was a faithful and brave soldier, that he was courtous an civil to all persons---That he sought the acquaint <hr /> ance of others for social and religious intercourse, and was loved and respected by all who knew him in the army.

Flag ship "Malvern," Beaufort N.C. Sept 30, 1864. The following extracts from late Wilmington and Fayetteville, N.C. newspapers, referring to the recent loss of blockade runners captured or destroyed by the blockaders off the post of Wilmington, and to the present stringency of the blockade of that port, are published for the satisfaction of the officers and men engaged on this arduous duty. A list of the fifty (50) sea steamers captured or destroyed in violating the blockade of Wilmington since Aug, 1st 1863, S.P. Lee Acting Rear-Admiral, Commanding North Atlantic Blockading Squadron. From "The Daily Journal," Wilmington, N.C., Tuesday Sept 20, 1864. Editorials. It may be something of short of petit treason for us to say no, but still we will say it - that we are not so sure that the "TALLAHASSEE" expedition will play a large dividend. She certainly kicked up a fuss, but we doubt very much whether she weakened the military resources of the Yankee government to any appreciable extent. It is pretty certain that she has turned an unpleasant amount of attention upon this port, and may be the cause of bringing down upon us the main part of the Yankee Navy. The blockade will be doubly strict, that is certain. The Prize Streamer "Lillian." This prize steamer now at the Navy Yard in Philadelphia, is a new and sharp built Clyde propeller of 475 tons burthen, and has been libeled and appraised. The Navy Department has been informed of her appraised value, which was $140.000, and was accepted. She is admirably adapted for cruising, and will doubtless secure many a prize. So says the Philadelphia Enquirer. How many such have left Confederate ports? From "The Daily Journal," Wilmington, N.C., Tuesday Sept. 27, 1864. Editorials The mobile tribune of a late ays says: - There is not a word of news from below. The fleet is inactive and we hear nothing of the movement of the troops. Farragut as we judge from the Yankee papers had gone to another station. It is believed that he has been ordered to try his prowess at Wilmington. Possibly. There is a thundering blockade off here now; that's pretty certain, whether the man with the queer name has got anything to do it with it or not. All credit is mainly to the real or supposed presence of the "TALLAHASSEE" and sundry other mysterious sea monsters. The Yankee papers even report the FLORIDA as among the vessels that have come into this port. Loss of the "Lynx." Last night the fine blockade running steamer "LYNX" belonging to Jno. Frazer & Co * and commanded by Captain Reid, crossed New Inlet Bar and put to sea bound to Bermuda, with a cargo consisting mainly of over six hundred (600) bales of Cotton, one half on govenment account. She had also $50.000 in gold on freight for government. She had some few passengers. Just after she got she was pursued by the blockading squadron by which she was completely hemmed in. She was struck eight times six at or below the water line, Finding the ship in a sinking condition the Captain beached her five or six miles above Fort Fisher. The crew and passengers escaped with a portion of their effects, and the vessel was burned to prevent "it from failing into the hands of the enemy. The gold belonging to government was saved. The enemy got so close as to fire a volley of musketry at the "LYNX," by which one of the crew was wounded. <ul> <li> Frazer, Trenholm & Co - Trenholm now Rebel Secretary of Treasury. </li> </ul> From "The Carolinian," Fayetteville, N.C., Sept. 17, 1864.

Louisville Clay Co. Ill. Sept 29th 1864 Hon. Richard Yates, My Dear Sir. In receiving letters from strangers you often find, no doubt, that they were written by old friends - none the less warm and cordial, though you never heard of them. I am at present laboring for the Union cause in a humble way, because circumstances do not allow me to serve in a more conspicuous manner. In fact I am now editing a union county paper. I also take the stump at such places as I can reach, and shall not attempt anything else till Lincoln and our state ticket <hr /> are elected. I write this pricipally to add my voice to a thousand others in behalf of a soldiers' vote. Do, please, Governor, use all your influence to have the soldiers home on furlough. It is not enough to carry the state - we ought to - we must carry these Egyptian counties, and with half the soldiers' votes can do it. Without if it will be hardly safe for a Union man to live here. I have been here only some three months, and made my first stump speech when Atlanta fell. Next morning a delegation waited on me with peremptory orders to change my course if I <hr /> intended to remain in this community. I talked to them like a Dutch uncle", and they went away. When their passion cooled I think there was no further danger. I assure you, Governor, there is very great need of dispelling the darkness here. We have the votes of the 48 98th regs which were in part, made up here. the 98th gives 26 for McClellan, and only 9 for Richardson. The other Reg. is declared to be a perfect unit for the Union ticket For heaven's sake, have them come home. Yours with Great Respect Y. W. Hutchenson A. M. <hr /> T. W. Hutchinson A. M.
