&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Governor,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We want to come home to vote, unless you think you can beat the enemy badly without us.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Little Mac" says he can't "look the soldiers in the face" &amp;amp; give up the Union, but we are afraid he will do it behind our backs if he is Elected.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours for the Union -- one Government, one flag, one destiny.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Vicksburg, Miss., 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tuesday, October 11, 1864.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A Noble Record. - The 124th regiment Illinois infantry now encampted at this place, has a record of which the noble regiment may well be proud.  It has been in service nearly three years, and in a contest for superiority in drill was award the banner over all competitors in the division to which it belonged, 3d division, 17th army corps.  In battle, it has proven worthy of the great State from which it hails; and its deeds of valor stand as enduring records of the heroism of the officers and men composing it.  But it has, if possible, a record more to be boasted of than that of valor or descipline.  Although so long a time has elapsed since its formation as a regiment, and notwithstanding the diversity of character of its numerous members, and the perilous scenes of trial and temptation it has passed through during this exciting war, it makes the proud and glorious boast that not a man in the 124th Illinois infantry has ever been brought before a general courtmartial to be tried for a violation of the articles of war or any general order.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is a noble record, and may not the "Sucker State" point with pride and pleasure to this gallant regiment and say, "These are my jewels?"
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;May every member of the regiment continue to feel that its honor is in his keeping, so that when it shall have fulfilled its allotted time of service, it may make the same proud boast as now, "No member of the 124th has ever been before a courtmartial.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Negroes Captures. - We learn from a gentleman who lives near the place, that on Sunday night last a band of guerrillas sweeped down upon a farm about five miles from this city, on the railroal, and captured fourteen negroes who were at work upon the place. - When it is known that this raid was made upon a place not more than a mile distant from a post at which there is a strong guard of our troops, some idea of the daring character of these fellows may be gathered.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The capture of the negroes was perhaps the only object of their visit, as we did not learn that they did any other damage.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Excelsiors Vote. - At a vote taken on last Sunday in the 124th regiment Illinois infantry, the "Excelsior regiment" of the old 3rd division, 17th army corps, and a regiment which represents one of the finest organizations of Illinois troops, the following as the result:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Whole number of votes cast .. 516.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For Abraham Lincoln .. 502.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For Geo. B. McClellan .. 14.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If there is another regiment outside of the veteran organization, which can beat this vote for Uncle Abraham, we would like to hear from it.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ill. Volls
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Vicksburg Oct 11th 64
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;They want to come home to vote, unless the state is all right without them.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;They vote the Union ticket.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Friend
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My Brother Dr J C Macon married some years since a Widow lady in Richmond Virginia.  She deceased about three years since leaving two children by her first Husband (who are minors), they are the legatee's of a large amount of valuable property in the City of Richmond, which there is danger of their losing by the Rebel act of Confiscation, Bro wishes to carry them back to prevent such a contingency, and is at a loss to know how to accomplish the object.  
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is for this purpose that I now write you asking the favor of a pass to the Potomack at Hopkins Ferry.  I know that every movement of your time must be occupied with the weighty responsibilities of your position, at this trying period in our Counties history - and therefore it is with great delicacy that I 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;make this request, But if you can consistently favor me in this respect, you will add another favor to the many already bestowed, I am sincerely glad to here of your recovery from the attack of illness which you have lately been afflicted with &amp;amp; trust that the future will be all prosperty &amp;amp; happiness.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am your Friend
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;J. H. Macon

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Applying for a pass for his brother to go to the Potomac.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cannot pass out of the State - Cannot pass myself beyond the State - but recently paid very own passage to Washington &amp;amp; back
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hon R Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Springfield Ill.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;               Dr. Gov.  I had the pleasure of seeing Gen Fuller on Tuesday of this week _ but I had not the oppertunity of conversing with him as fully and freely as should have wished, as we were interrupted, but you have seen him here thus, and I have no doubt are fully satisfied that he is your tru friend as I am. I saw Mr Browne the member from Winnebago last Wednesday and had a full and free conversation with him, he is a good and pure man, and he is a friend of yours, he advised me he had the day before written you, his wishes are to support you and you are his first chose, with out any Exceptions, unless he is fully satisfied that it will not do to support you for the Senate on the ground of Intemperance,  he 
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;is tru and consistant temperance man, and he is such from principle, nothing but the fullest convictions that it will not do to give you his support for this reason alone will prevent you getting his vote, He seemed very anctious to see you, and converse with you himself.  Please see him Early after his arrival at Springfield &amp;amp; speak to and talk with him fully for he is an honorable man and your friend, of heart truly, He also Expressed a wish for me to come up to springfield if possible, but I do not think that I would be of any service to you If I could run a way for a few days from my post at Cairo, if I did as God knows I would most certainly do so, Judge Nelson also went out with me and stopped off &amp;amp; visited Senator Lansing, Mr Lansing is now committed I saw him as I returned, and had very pleasent conversation with him. He can be indused to support you and I think he will he most certainly will unless Gen Fuller goes against you, and this again rests wholly in
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;(NOTE! This third page is a duplicate of the second page and I did not re copy it)
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;the question of (Softy?) on the one question, this you must know what I mean.  If you get Fullers support you will (Louserry's?) &amp;amp; Browns I shall go out on Munday or Tuesday with Mr T.C. Moore of Batavia to see Mr Randall the member from De Kalb.  I fear that he is in the market, but if Gen Fuller is with you we shall get him also as the Gen has a good deal of influence over him, as I am informed but I will work fully on seeing him, Judge Wilson will take steps to see Mr Sedgwick and he is truly you friend and will gladly du any thing in his power to aid, you,  If there is any thing moore that I can be of any service to you advise me, and I will gladly forward Your wishes,  Gen Oglesby must under no circumstances allow himself to be put up and his name used, for Senator, for if the good People of Illinois, or the army had for a moment supposed that under any circumstances but those of Death, he would have left the Executive chair, they never would have nominated him much moore Elected him.  The People
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;have no confidence in the Lieutenant Gov- Either in his ability or integrity, (and should the Gov Elect suffer himself to Enter the list against you, and risk the Senatorship they will never for get, or forgive him, they will feel that they have been deceived and betrayed by him, and that he has placed _ or rather tried to jeopardize the best interest of this great State and Patriotic People by his selfish ambition, his tru friends will and should so advise him, if they are realy his friends, did I know him personly I should take this liberty but I do not).  There are many things that I should like to say to you but it will not do to write them. (In great haste I am as Ever your true and humble friend
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;                                     J H Maybourn
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;P.S. The Chicago (click?) believe or pretend to think you are beaten and that you cannot rely on over 20 votes I do not.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Maybourn J. H. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Geneva Dec 17th 1864
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Had a conversation with Gen'l Fuller and believes him to be your true friend-  He and Judge Wilson also went to see Brown and Lansing- The former is all right except in the temperance question and will give you hearty support if he is assured you are not intemperate. Lansing will go as Fuller goes,_  He is going to see Randall and thinks he will be all right.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gen'l Oglesby should by no means let his name be used in connection with the Senatorship_
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hon R Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Springfield Ill.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;               Dr. Gov.  I had the pleasure of seeing Gen Fuller on Tuesday of this week _ but I had not the oppertunity of conversing with him as fully and freely as should have wished, as we were interrupted, but you have seen him here thus, and I have no doubt are fully satisfied that he is your tru friend as I am. I saw Mr Browne the member from Winnebago last Wednesday and had a full and free conversation with him, he is a good and pure man, and he is a friend of yours, he advised me he had the day before written you, his wishes are to support you and you are his first chose, with out any Exceptions, unless he is fully satisfied that it will not do to support you for the Senate on the ground of Intemperance,  he 
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;is tru and consistant temperance man, and he is such from principle, nothing but the fullest convictions that it will not do to give you his support for this reason alone will prevent you getting his vote, He seemed very anctious to see you, and converse with you himself.  Please see him Early after his arrival at Springfield &amp;amp; speak to and talk with him fully for he is an honorable man and your friend, of heart truly, He also Expressed a wish for me to come up to springfield if possible, but I do not think that I would be of any service to you If I could run a way for a few days from my post at Cairo, if I did as God knows I would most certainly do so, Judge Nelson also went out with me and stopped off &amp;amp; visited Senator Lansing, Mr Lansing is now committed I saw him as I returned, and had very pleasent conversation with him. He can be indused to support you and I think he will he most certainly will unless Gen Fuller goes against you, and this again rests wholly in
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;(NOTE! This third page is a duplicate of the second page and I did not re copy it)
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;the question of (Softy?) on the one question, this you must know what I mean.  If you get Fullers support you will (Louserry's?) &amp;amp; Browns I shall go out on Munday or Tuesday with Mr T.C. Moore of Batavia to see Mr Randall the member from De Kalb.  I fear that he is in the market, but if Gen Fuller is with you we shall get him also as the Gen has a good deal of influence over him, as I am informed but I will work fully on seeing him, Judge Wilson will take steps to see Mr Sedgwick and he is truly you friend and will gladly du any thing in his power to aid, you,  If there is any thing moore that I can be of any service to you advise me, and I will gladly forward Your wishes,  Gen Oglesby must under no circumstances allow himself to be put up and his name used, for Senator, for if the good People of Illinois, or the army had for a moment supposed that under any circumstances but those of Death, he would have left the Executive chair, they never would have nominated him much moore Elected him.  The People
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;have no confidence in the Lieutenant Gov- Either in his ability or integrity, (and should the Gov Elect suffer himself to Enter the list against you, and risk the Senatorship they will never for get, or forgive him, they will feel that they have been deceived and betrayed by him, and that he has placed _ or rather tried to jeopardize the best interest of this great State and Patriotic People by his selfish ambition, his tru friends will and should so advise him, if they are realy his friends, did I know him personly I should take this liberty but I do not).  There are many things that I should like to say to you but it will not do to write them. (In great haste I am as Ever your true and humble friend
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;                                     J H Maybourn
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;P.S. The Chicago (click?) believe or pretend to think you are beaten and that you cannot rely on over 20 votes I do not.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Maybourn J. H. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Geneva Dec 17th 1864
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Had a conversation with Gen'l Fuller and believes him to be your true friend-  He and Judge Wilson also went to see Brown and Lansing- The former is all right except in the temperance question and will give you hearty support if he is assured you are not intemperate. Lansing will go as Fuller goes,_  He is going to see Randall and thinks he will be all right.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gen'l Oglesby should by no means let his name be used in connection with the Senatorship_
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your kind note of
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;the 27 just is received, and I would gladly
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;come to Springfield if it was in my power

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;sistance to you, but my permit expires
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;on the first Janry, and I must report at Cairo
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;at that time. If it is possible for me to get
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;away from there after a day or two and
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;run up to Springfield I will do so;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;for I trust that I need not assure you
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;that you have no friend who is more
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;desirous than myself that you should be our
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;next Senator, not from personal mo

&lt;p&gt;my firm convictions are, that these will

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;of gratitude as to support an other. If so
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;he forfeits all claims to respect and honor

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I rec'd permit in answer to my application, dated 8th inst. to appear before the med. Board in Chicago.  I could not collect the means at the time to do so.  I have just rec'd. the accompanying letters, and forward the same, hoping you may appoint me to some position, where I may prove of service to my country.  
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Having lost in 1858 all my property by fire, I have since been obliged to economize all in my power.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am willing and anxious, to go for the war, in such capacity as you may deem fit.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With high regard
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yr obt. Servt

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Richard Yates. Gov. of Illinois
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I rec'd permit in answer to my application, dated 8th inst. to appear before the med. Board in Chicago.  I could not collect the means at the time to do so.  I have just rec'd. the accompanying letters, and forward the same, hoping you may appoint me to some position, where I may prove of service to my country.  
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Having lost in 1858 all my property by fire, I have since been obliged to economize all in my power.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am willing and anxious, to go for the war, in such capacity as you may deem fit.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With high regard
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yr obt. Servt
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;J. H. Thompson.
