Needs Review Transcription A written representation of a document or a page. Copy St. Louis, Mo. 3. Sep. 1863. Box 2908. To Col. Taylor, LaSalle, Dear Sir, You will remember the short visit I paid to LaSalle, with you from Chicago, and the difficulty we had in doing any good there, through the overbearing conduct of the Colliers combined in the League - which formed indeed, the subject of much comment in the papers at the time - after leaving you, I went to Rock Island, & have since visited the Coal Districts in the Southern part of the state - where the men I brought are now working - In all cases - I observed the same cause of complaint, viz - the intolerance of the miners or Colliers over their employers, & after considering the subject, I <hr />have thought I may do my humble endeavour to try & remedy it viz- by writing a series of easy familiar letters to miners & colliers in England, Wales, & Scotland, for I am acquainted with every district there - telling them what miners have done - what they may do here - and where, and get them inserted in such papers as have most circulation amongst them - this I can do - for there is many a good Collier in England, not earning so much in one week, as some of your men were earning in one>/u> day - this I know of my own knowledge. I have accordingly addressed a communication to President Lincoln thro' Governor Yates of Illinois - in the course of which, I have made allusion to my visit with you to LaSalle, what I saw there, & that the impracticability of the men, which we both experienced, <hr />first suggested to my mind, & I named it at the time - the desirability of taking some steps to remedy it. If it is not asking too great a favor of you, & I was indebted to you for much attention & courtesy whilst in LaSalle - would you kindly write a line to Governor Yates - to testify to the correctness of what I have here said - and how desirable a thing it would be to endeavour to procure other men from England, Wales, or Scotland. by so doing you would promote the general good - and render me an additional service - I hope Fagan goes on comfortably with you & the men. I should be glad to hear Yours faithfully (signed) James McKenzie <hr /> McKenzie. James. St. Louis. Sept. 3d Copy of a letter to Col Taylor of LaSalle. Refers to his visit to that Gentleman.

(David Virgil), 1900-1984 Journalist Newspaper editors Newspapers Editorials--Authorship Editorials Illinois--Decatur Description An account of the resource David Virgil Felts, a Decatur, Illinois, journalist, was born on January 31, 1900, in Marion, Illinois. Following high school graduation, Felts entered the University of Illinois at Champaign. In college Felts became the “Campus Scout,” the author of a humorous column about college happenings. This position at the university was also held by Gene Shalit, Allen Sherman, and others who later pursed careers in broadcasting and journalism. After receiving an A.B. from the University of Illinois in 1923, Felts became a reporter for the Louisville (Kentucky) Courier Journal. From 1923 until 1926, he worked as a sports editor for the Illinois State Register in Springfield, Illinois, and then served briefly as a United Press reporter. Following a year of post-graduate study at Harvard University, Felts returned to Springfield in 1928 and became an editorial writer and columnist. In December 1935, Felts joined the Lindsay-Schaub chain of newspapers as an editorial writer and moved to Decatur, Illinois. He became editorial page editor for the Decatur Herald and Review in 1958 and two years later, he was editorial page editor for the entire Lindsay-Schaub chain. Felts also wrote his own column, called “Second Thoughts.” The column contained folksy reminiscences about past events and observations on current affairs. Felts officially retired in 1967, but he continued to write his column three times a week for the Lindsay-Schaub newspapers. The column ran until Felts’ real retirement at the age of seventy-five. In 1975, Felts moved to Ft. Pierce, Florida, with his wife. Felts died in March of 1985. Felts, who was interested in local and state history, was a long time member of the Illinois State Historical Society. He served as Society director from 1980 to 1983 and was elected vice-president in 1983. In July 1958, Felts was appointed by Governor William G. Stratton to the Illinois Lincoln Sesquicentennial Commission. Felts was also active in the Friends of the Decatur Public Library, serving as a trustee for the Library from 1951 to 1960 and as president of the board of directors from 1953 until 1955.  The finding aid for the David V. Felts Papers, 1908-1978 at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum may be found at: http://alplm-cdi.com/chroniclingillinois/items/show/215.

Sweet letter 12/9/65 Peru, Ind. , Aug 7th 1865 Sir: The Department has directed me to arrange with the [south?] agents between Toledo and Quincy to meet at Lafayette hereafter instead of State Line. The arrangement will commence on Friday next, the 11th inst. Let the Wabash agent who gets to the Line on Thursday return to Lafayette that evening on the express train, and start east from there the next morning; and you will please request the agent on the Great Western, who will leave Quincy Thursday evening, to run to Lafayette Friday morning. The order is for the Western agents to run from Quincy to Lafayette, and for the Eastern agents to run from Toledo to Lafayette. You will please notify me by letter, directed to Indianapolis, as soon as you shall have perfected the arrangement. Until recently, I believe the Gr. Western agents divided at Springfield. That was changed, I learn, by direction of Spl. Agent Bell, <hr /> of Chicago, and is, I think, the proper arrangement; but if the agents think otherwise, they can present their views in a letter to Bell or me, giving the reasons for desiring to divide at Springfield instead of running to Lafayette. They can arrange with Judge Bell to run two off and two on; provided the agents who are resting will always be in telegraphic communication so as to supply deficiencies in case of accidents. I will now give my consent to their resting two at a time on the conditions above mentioned. Report to me as soon as you confer with the agents. Very Respectfully, James N. Tyner Special Agt. P.O.

Office A., Ass't Provost Marshal Gen'l and Supt. Vol. Rect'g Service, Ill. Springfield, February 1, 1864 [Circular to all Provost Marshals, Recruiting Offices, and Mustering and Disbursing Officers in Illinois:] I have received the following order from the Provost Marshal General of the United States, dated January 29th, 1864, viz: "Direct your officers not to forward, pay, or give credit for recruits whose youth or old age, in their judgment, unfits them for service. Hold all such men, and forward full report of them here for orders." The object of this order is to keep all boys and old men out of the army. The Government wants none but strong, able-bodied, serviceable men. Great evil has resulted from want of care on this point, and greater caution must be observed in future. Every unserviceable man sent to the field is a positive loss and injury to the Union cause. In all cases where you are satisfied that a recruit presented to you would not make an effective soldier, by reason either of youthful immaturity or of advanced age, you will peremptorily refuse to enlist him, or to muster him into service, or to forward him to the Geaeral Rendezvous. Should recruits of this description elude the vigilance of Recruiting officers, and be forwarded to the Rendezvous, Mustering and Disbursing officers are forbidden to muster them into service, or pay them. No District, County or Town will received credit for such recruit. If such unserviceable persons should escape the scrutiny of all other officers, and be enlisted, mustered and paid, I shall hold them and report the facts to the Provost Marshal General, for his instructions, as directed. In such cases, if the men are discharged by reason of disabilities existing prior to enlistment, and which might have been, and with proper care would have been discovered in time, the expenses will be charged against the recruiting officer by whose neglect the improper enlistments or musters were made.
