Needs Review Transcription A written representation of a document or a page. With John Ward 2/10/64 Treasury Department, Third Auditor’s Office, February 4th 1864. General John Wood Quartermaster General State of Illinois Sir I have the honor to Report the following concerning the condition of our claims against the U.S. I find after some enquiry and explanations with the Clerk who has our claims in charge that so far as he was concerned he had made an examination of our Property Return and found that we had accounted for the principal items with a settlement if no further examination of our accounts was required by the Third Auditor. I therefore called upon the Third Auditor to ascertain what further was required and stated what his Clerk had informed me that our Property Return was found to be correct and if no further information was required he was <hr /> Ready to proceed with the settlement The Third Auditor Mr R.J. Atkinson did not appear entirely satisfied as to the examination of our accounts by his Clerk and informed me, he would see his Clerk, and give him further instruction in the course of the day. In the afternoon I called upon the Clerk who went with me to the Auditor and after a pleasant conversation of some length in which he informed me that the Government had done more for our State in the settlement of her accounts than for any other, yet he would do all he could for us, and requested that I send home and get the receipts showing how we had disposed of our Stores. I informed him I would do so but that if I had to wait here until they were received and examined I would get no settlement this year I have therefore written to Mr Brown to send me by Express the proper Receipts and shall probably receive them in the next ten days It is very evident to my mind General that in order to effect a speedy settlement of our accounts that your presence here with that of Govr Yates for a week or two with Secretary Chase <hr /> will accomplish more than can otherwise be accomplished by any explanation that can be made and I most earnestly request that you and his Excellency come on here at once for the special purpose of demanding of Secretary Chase a settlement so far as it can be made I find so few of our accounts suspended or disallowed that there is but few explanations to be made, and as there is about $470 000 of claims passed upon, by the Third Auditors Clerk, and only require the authority of the Auditor to be made up and sent forward to the 2nd Comptroler to be examined by him before being paid I think this amount could be secured very soon should you and the Governor come here, but as the case now stands it is my impression that it is not the purpose of the Government to pay any more of these State Claims until after the war unless such demands are made upon the Treasury Department as will forbid the delay. Hoping General you will see the importance of your being here at this time I am Very Respectfully your Obdt Servt John H.

Lewistown Ills. Feby 4/64 Hon. R Yates. Springfield Ill. Dear Sir. I write you at this time to call to your notice a matter of great interest to the Union Men of this region, at this time. It is in regard to the appointment of S. F. Ross, again, as Brigadier General. I need not say to you, who have known him so long and so well, that he is a noble, thorough Union man. -- without any conditions, and whose heart is in the cause, but it might not be amiss for me to state to you that his resignation before, was unavoidable. Any one who has been acquainted with his domestic trials and affictions, will only wonder that he did not resign before he did. But now he is in a condition to go into the service again <hr /> He has closed up his business satisfactorily. his wife is dead, and son in lunatic asylum. Is it any wonder that he had to give up the service with these trials upon him. But we urge this matter because we believe he is the man for the place in every respect. and if this is so, and if he has proved himself above party in this struggle, should we not use our influence to get him his old position. If necessary, I can send you the earnest petition of every Union Man in our County for this appointment. Pardon me for the freedom I have exhibited in thus writing to you, but our long acquaintance, and the fact that among your many friends, I have been privileged to aid in some small degree to sustain you when before our people,has emboldened me. I need not mention Genl <hr /> Ross's antecedents. You know he was a democrat before the War, but I might say that all the cajoling of his former political friends, has failed to move him an inch. Hoping you may see your way clear to do something in this matter I remain Yours Truly John W Proctor <hr /> Proctor John W Lewistown Feby 4 1864, Wishes Governor to use his influence to secure the appointment of S F Ross as Brig General again - Write him that I gave Ross a very strong letter - & will do everything &c Also furnish to Gen Ross copy of the letter we sent to him - as he did not get it Feb 9th 64 Acknowledged recpt & sent him copy of letter recommending Col.

PROCLAMATION By His Excellency RICHARD YATES, GOVERNOR OF ILLINOIS. EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, SPRINGFIELD, ILL., February 5, 1864 To the People of Illinois: It is with feelings of the profoundest satisfaction that I announce to you the number of men which Illinois has contributed to the armies of the Union from the commencement of the rebellion to the present time. Our contingent of volunteers under calls of the President: In 1861 was 47,785 In 1862 was 82,685 In 1863 was 64,630 Total quotas under all calls: 145,100 The last call was made October 17th, 1863, and the State had furnished and been credited one hundred and twenty-five thousand three hundred and twenty-one (125,321) men - a surplus of eight thousand one hundred and fifty-one (8,151) over all other calls to be credited to our contingent for that call, and which reduced it to 19,779 men, with still other credits claimed, but not fully adjusted because of imperfect record in case of citizens, and in some instances whole companies of Illinoisans, who had entered the regiments of other States at times when our quotas under given calls were entirely full, and because of which, their services I was reluctantly compelled to decline. In the volunteer regiments from the State of Missouri 6,032 citizens of Illinois were enrolled and mustered, and in Illinois regiments there have been 1,659 residents of the State of Missouri enlisted; which leaves, as between the States, a credit of 4,273 in favor of Illinois. After adjustment of credit of 125,321 at and prior to October last, from more careful examination of the rolls and returns from the field, it was ascertained that we were entitled to an additional credit of 10,947, which increased the number enrolled in our own regiments, and for which we were entitled to credit prior to last call, to 136,238, leaving the whole account thus: Quotas under all calls 145,100 Credits for enlistments in Illinois regiments 136,268 Balance in Missouri regiments 4,373 140,641 <pre> Total balance due the Government under last call. 4,459 </pre> Besides the foregoing the State claims an unadjusted balance of 3,264 for volunteers furnished prior to October 1st, 1868, which I doubt not will soon be credited by the War Department. Independent of the last mentioned figures, and exclusive of old regiments re-enlisting as veterans, our quota on the first day of January was more than filled, as evidenced by rolls returned since the last call. In other words, the State of Illinois, having under every call exceeded her quota by the voluntarily demonstrated patriotism of her people, was not, on the first day of January last, or at any other time, liable to DRAFT. That this information has not been communicated to the public sooner is fully explained in the uncertainty which has existed as to the credits which would be allowed by the War Department, the unadjusted account between our own and neighboring States of the volunteers of the one enlisted in the regiments of the other, and the incomplete returns of the new recruits enlisted just prior to and about the first day of January, 1864. Thus it will be seen that Illinois alone, of all the loyal States of the Union, furnishes the proud record of not only having escaped the draft, without credit for her old regiments, but of starting under the new call with her quota largely diminished, by the credit to which she is entitled by thousands of veterans already re-enlisted. This is only an additional chapter to the fame of our noble State, promptly and patriotically responding to every call of the Government for men - and men, too, whose valor, endurance, prompt obedience, noble daring and brilliant achievements are unsurpassed by those of any State in the Union. I cannot forbear to refer specially to the cheerful re-enlistment of our old regiments. Those so designated are the regiments of infantry numbered the 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th - organized under the call of the President, of April 15, 1861, for 75,000 three months volunteers, and were the first in the field - and re-organized in July and August 1861, for three years service - the 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th and 18th regiments, which were first organized under provisions of an act passed by the extraordinary session of the General Assembly of Illinois, convened April 23d, 1861, in anticipation of future calls of the Government for troops, and which organizations were preserved intact in State camps until the latter part of that month, and mustered into the United States service as organized under the law referred to. All the other mentioned regiments were organized in pursuance of the calls of the President and Order of the War Department, based on the laws of Congress of that year. The infantry regiments at the time of organization, and since, have contained 88,173, and the cal vary 7,477; aggregate 45,650 men, and now comprise: THE VETERAN ROLL OF HONOR OF ILLINOIS. Viz: the Seventh Infantry. Forty-First Infantry. Eighth Infantry. Forty-Third Infantry. Ninth Infantry. Forty-Fourth Infantry. Tenth Infantry. Forty-Fifth Infantry. Eleventh Infantry.

Total number of old regiments organized for three years' service: Infantry....................59 Calvary....................10 Artillery.................... 2 <pre> _____ </pre> Aggregate................44 The order for re-enlistment of veteran volunteers, issued on the 11th day of September, 1863, and the rapidity with which they have responded, is a striking evidence of the attachment to the service and the esteem and respect which our General, Field, Staff, and Line Officers have inspired in the ranks of our invincible armies, and above all, the appreciation they have of the magnitude of the issue at state. The most cheering intelligence also is received from the regiments not officially reported as re-enlisted. They are all made of the same invincible material, and I doubt not, that every regiment will retain its number, and soon wheel gloriously into the veteran line. Though absent for years from their homes and everything held most sacred and dear, and exposed to untried, rigid discipline, and dangers of every kind - decimated by disease and by death on the battlefield, these veterans return with their old banners, which they have borne aloft amid shot and shell, and the cold and smoke of many victorious battle fields, to receive the welcome and congratulations of their loyal countrymen, and for only a brief furlough to enjoy the sweets of home and friends, again to return to meet the foe and fight on until the last rebel shall have laid down his arms, and the rightful authority of the Government shall be restored over every inch of American soil. They have come in contact with the enemy, and know better than the philosopher at home that the rights of man and the power of the Government can now only be secured by sword and cannon. Their devotion to country is full of sublimity, not surpassed by that of the veterans of the ancient Republics, whose patriotism and deeds of valor have been the theses for song and eloquence for over a thousand years. Can the proudest page of history point to a nation whose army has participated in more battle fields than the veteran soldiers of Illinois? At Boonville Carthage, Wilson's Creek, Frederickton, Lexington, Belmont, Fort Henry, Fort Donelson, Pea Ridge, New Madrid, Island No. 10, Shiloh, Farmington, Britton's Lane, Iuka, Corinth, Hatchie, Parker's Cross Roads, Prairie Grove, Coffeeville, Chickasaw Bayou, Arkansas Post, Port Gibson, Raymond, Jackson, Champion Hills, Big Black, siege of Vicksburg, Helena, Port Hudson, Jackson, Little Rock, Pine Bluffs, Perryville, Stone River, Chickamauga, Lookout Valley, Tuscumbia, Mission Ridge, Ringgold and Knoxville in the West - the battles of the Peninsular campaign, Antietam, Gettysburg, Fredericksburg, Chancellorville, siege of Charleston, on the Eastern coast, and other engagements in the Department of the Gulf, and in innumerable skirmishes have the same returned veterans of Illinois participated and borne cospicuous parts. All honor to them that they have so proudly borne themselves, all honor to them that they still swear fresh allegiance to their country, and with unconquered spirit resolve never to sheathe their swords except over the grave of treason, and the vindicated authority of the Government and our glorious Union restored. The quota of the State under the new call will soon be announced, and each county definitely informed of the number required, and I have no fears that a single county will fail to fill its quota. Recruiting will go on. At the roll call of the State for their quota on the first day of March, Illinois will answer "here," and should the Government, as in my judgment it ought, call out full 500,000 more men, and, with demonstrated and overwhelming power crush out the last vestige of the rebellion, in such an event Illinois would again respond with her full quota of as brave, patriotic and loyal men as those who have reflected such resplendent lustre upon her arms. I express my gratitude for the aid and counsel the old and wise men and loyal women have given me in organizing troops and caring for the sick and wounded of our State through the trying months we have passed, and I now appeal to the young men of Illinois to join our veteran heroes, who, on weary march and battle plain, call you to their side. You have the renown of Forefathers to sustain and the consecrated memories of the noble dead, to write upon the annals of the Republic, to be saved by its citizens in arms. Between you and them there is a covenant, and you are pledged by every sentiment of loyalty and honor to God and country, to sustain them in the hour of conflict. 'Tis yours to accomplish the mission of the century, to inspire new faith in the capacity of man for self-government, to preserve the dignity of labor, and to transmit to posterity the free Government of Benjamin Franklin and George Washington. If you desire your names associated with the glories of this war, enlist now, for the signs are that its end is near at hand. The South is fast becoming convinced that the cool determined bravery of one Northern man is equal to the fiery, impetuous valor and bravado of one Southern man; and that while, day by day, the resources of the South in men, money and munitions of war and supplies are nearing the point of final exhaustion, the arm of the loyal States is daily being strengthened, the credit of the Government is unimpaired, the preparations for prosecuting the war on the land and on the sea are constantly increasing, and scarcely any limit can be assigned to the number of men which the Government may call to its aid. The doom of the rebellion is inevitable. It can, to say the least, only be a question of time. Then fill up the ranks - reinforce the column still advancing, and by strength of strong arms in the field and patriotic sentiment at home fill every village and hamlet claimed by traitors with the old flag and anthems of VICTORY, FREEDOM, and NATIONAL UNION. I submit herewith the Report of Adjutant General Allen C. Fuller, who, in the organization of our regiments, has labored faithfully, and brought great energy, efficiency and ability in the discharge of all the varied and complicated duties of the Adjutant General's office. To him, and assistants in his office, and to my own staff, am I much indebted for the success which has crowned my labors in raising, organizing and responding to all the demands of the large number of troops which Illinois has sent to the field.

PROCLAMATION By His Excellency RICHARD YATES, GOVERNOR OF ILLINOIS. EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, SPRINGFIELD, ILL., February 5, 1864 To the People of Illinois: It is with feelings of the profoundest satisfaction that I announce to you the number of men which Illinois has contributed to the armies of the Union from the commencement of the rebellion to the present time. Our contingent of volunteers under calls of the President: In 1861 was 47,785 In 1862 was 82,685 In 1863 was 64,630 Total quotas under all calls: 145,100 The last call was made October 17th, 1863, and the State had furnished and been credited one hundred and twenty-five thousand three hundred and twenty-one (125,321) men - a surplus of eight thousand one hundred and fifty-one (8,151) over all other calls to be credited to our contingent for that call, and which reduced it to 19,779 men, with still other credits claimed, but not fully adjusted because of imperfect record in case of citizens, and in some instances whole companies of Illinoisans, who had entered the regiments of other States at times when our quotas under given calls were entirely full, and because of which, their services I was reluctantly compelled to decline. In the volunteer regiments from the State of Missouri 6,032 citizens of Illinois were enrolled and mustered, and in Illinois regiments there have been 1,659 residents of the State of Missouri enlisted; which leaves, as between the States, a credit of 4,273 in favor of Illinois. After adjustment of credit of 125,321 at and prior to October last, from more careful examination of the rolls and returns from the field, it was ascertained that we were entitled to an additional credit of 10,947, which increased the number enrolled in our own regiments, and for which we were entitled to credit prior to last call, to 136,238, leaving the whole account thus: Quotas under all calls 145,100 Credits for enlistments in Illinois regiments 136,268 Balance in Missouri regiments 4,373 140,641 <pre> Total balance due the Government under last call. 4,459 </pre> Besides the foregoing the State claims an unadjusted balance of 3,264 for volunteers furnished prior to October 1st, 1868, which I doubt not will soon be credited by the War Department. Independent of the last mentioned figures, and exclusive of old regiments re-enlisting as veterans, our quota on the first day of January was more than filled, as evidenced by rolls returned since the last call. In other words, the State of Illinois, having under every call exceeded her quota by the voluntarily demonstrated patriotism of her people, was not, on the first day of January last, or at any other time, liable to DRAFT. That this information has not been communicated to the public sooner is fully explained in the uncertainty which has existed as to the credits which would be allowed by the War Department, the unadjusted account between our own and neighboring States of the volunteers of the one enlisted in the regiments of the other, and the incomplete returns of the new recruits enlisted just prior to and about the first day of January, 1864. Thus it will be seen that Illinois alone, of all the loyal States of the Union, furnishes the proud record of not only having escaped the draft, without credit for her old regiments, but of starting under the new call with her quota largely diminished, by the credit to which she is entitled by thousands of veterans already re-enlisted. This is only an additional chapter to the fame of our noble State, promptly and patriotically responding to every call of the Government for men - and men, too, whose valor, endurance, prompt obedience, noble daring and brilliant achievements are unsurpassed by those of any State in the Union. I cannot forbear to refer specially to the cheerful re-enlistment of our old regiments. Those so designated are the regiments of infantry numbered the 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th - organized under the call of the President, of April 15, 1861, for 75,000 three months volunteers, and were the first in the field - and re-organized in July and August 1861, for three years service - the 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th and 18th regiments, which were first organized under provisions of an act passed by the extraordinary session of the General Assembly of Illinois, convened April 23d, 1861, in anticipation of future calls of the Government for troops, and which organizations were preserved intact in State camps until the latter part of that month, and mustered into the United States service as organized under the law referred to. All the other mentioned regiments were organized in pursuance of the calls of the President and Order of the War Department, based on the laws of Congress of that year. The infantry regiments at the time of organization, and since, have contained 88,173, and the cal vary 7,477; aggregate 45,650 men, and now comprise: THE VETERAN ROLL OF HONOR OF ILLINOIS. Viz: the Seventh Infantry. Forty-First Infantry. Eighth Infantry. Forty-Third Infantry. Ninth Infantry. Forty-Fourth Infantry. Tenth Infantry. Forty-Fifth Infantry. Eleventh Infantry. Forty-Sixth Infantry. Twelfth Infantry. Forty-Eighth Infantry. Thirteenth Infantry. Forty-Ninth Infantry. Fourteenth Infantry. Fiftieth Infantry. Fifteenth Infantry. Fifty-Second Infantry. Sixteenth Infantry. Fifty-Third Infantry. Seventeenth Infantry. Fifty-Fourth Infantry. Eighteenth Infantry. Fifty-Seventh Infantry. Twenty-Sixth Infantry. Fifty-Eighth Infantry. Twenty-Ninth Infantry. Sixty-Second Infantry. Thirtieth Infantry. Sixty-Fourth Infantry. Thirty-First Infantry. Sixty-Sixth Infantry. Thirty-Second Infantry. Second Calvary. Thirty-Third Infantry. Fourth Calvary. Thirty-Fourth Infantry. Eighth Calvary. Thirty-Sixth Infantry. Ninth Calvary. Thirty-Ninth Infantry. Tenth Calvary. Fortieth Infantry. Twelfth Calvary. The old regiments not yet reported as having re-enlisted are the 19th, 20th, 21st, 22d, 23d, 24th, 25th, 27th, 35th, 37th, 38th, 42d, 47th, 61st, 55th, 56th, 59th, 60th, 61st, 63d, 65th regiments of Infantry, and the 3d, 5th, 6th, 7th and 11th regiments of Calvary, and the 1st and 2d regiments of Artillery. Total number of old regiments organized for three years' service: Infantry....................59 Calvary....................10 Artillery.................... 2 <pre> _____ </pre> Aggregate................44 The order for re-enlistment of veteran volunteers, issued on the 11th day of September, 1863, and the rapidity with which they have responded, is a striking evidence of the attachment to the service and the esteem and respect which our General, Field, Staff, and Line Officers have inspired in the ranks of our invincible armies, and above all, the appreciation they have of the magnitude of the issue at state. The most cheering intelligence also is received from the regiments not officially reported as re-enlisted. They are all made of the same invincible material, and I doubt not, that every regiment will retain its number, and soon wheel gloriously into the veteran line. Though absent for years from their homes and everything held most sacred and dear, and exposed to untried, rigid discipline, and dangers of every kind - decimated by disease and by death on the battlefield, these veterans return with their old banners, which they have borne aloft amid shot and shell, and the cold and smoke of many victorious battle fields, to receive the welcome and congratulations of their loyal countrymen, and for only a brief furlough to enjoy the sweets of home and friends, again to return to meet the foe and fight on until the last rebel shall have laid down his arms, and the rightful authority of the Government shall be restored over every inch of American soil. They have come in contact with the enemy, and know better than the philosopher at home that the rights of man and the power of the Government can now only be secured by sword and cannon. Their devotion to country is full of sublimity, not surpassed by that of the veterans of the ancient Republics, whose patriotism and deeds of valor have been the theses for song and eloquence for over a thousand years. Can the proudest page of history point to a nation whose army has participated in more battle fields than the veteran soldiers of Illinois? At Boonville Carthage, Wilson's Creek, Frederickton, Lexington, Belmont, Fort Henry, Fort Donelson, Pea Ridge, New Madrid, Island No. 10, Shiloh, Farmington, Britton's Lane, Iuka, Corinth, Hatchie, Parker's Cross Roads, Prairie Grove, Coffeeville, Chickasaw Bayou, Arkansas Post, Port Gibson, Raymond, Jackson, Champion Hills, Big Black, siege of Vicksburg, Helena, Port Hudson, Jackson, Little Rock, Pine Bluffs, Perryville, Stone River, Chickamauga, Lookout Valley, Tuscumbia, Mission Ridge, Ringgold and Knoxville in the West - the battles of the Peninsular campaign, Antietam, Gettysburg, Fredericksburg, Chancellorville, siege of Charleston, on the Eastern coast, and other engagements in the Department of the Gulf, and in innumerable skirmishes have the same returned veterans of Illinois participated and borne cospicuous parts. All honor to them that they have so proudly borne themselves, all honor to them that they still swear fresh allegiance to their country, and with unconquered spirit resolve never to sheathe their swords except over the grave of treason, and the vindicated authority of the Government and our glorious Union restored. The quota of the State under the new call will soon be announced, and each county definitely informed of the number required, and I have no fears that a single county will fail to fill its quota. Recruiting will go on. At the roll call of the State for their quota on the first day of March, Illinois will answer "here," and should the Government, as in my judgment it ought, call out full 500,000 more men, and, with demonstrated and overwhelming power crush out the last vestige of the rebellion, in such an event Illinois would again respond with her full quota of as brave, patriotic and loyal men as those who have reflected such resplendent lustre upon her arms. I express my gratitude for the aid and counsel the old and wise men and loyal women have given me in organizing troops and caring for the sick and wounded of our State through the trying months we have passed, and I now appeal to the young men of Illinois to join our veteran heroes, who, on weary march and battle plain, call you to their side. You have the renown of Forefathers to sustain and the consecrated memories of the noble dead, to write upon the annals of the Republic, to be saved by its citizens in arms. Between you and them there is a covenant, and you are pledged by every sentiment of loyalty and honor to God and country, to sustain them in the hour of conflict. 'Tis yours to accomplish the mission of the century, to inspire new faith in the capacity of man for self-government, to preserve the dignity of labor, and to transmit to posterity the free Government of Benjamin Franklin and George Washington. If you desire your names associated with the glories of this war, enlist now, for the signs are that its end is near at hand. The South is fast becoming convinced that the cool determined bravery of one Northern man is equal to the fiery, impetuous valor and bravado of one Southern man; and that while, day by day, the resources of the South in men, money and munitions of war and supplies are nearing the point of final exhaustion, the arm of the loyal States is daily being strengthened, the credit of the Government is unimpaired, the preparations for prosecuting the war on the land and on the sea are constantly increasing, and scarcely any limit can be assigned to the number of men which the Government may call to its aid. The doom of the rebellion is inevitable. It can, to say the least, only be a question of time. Then fill up the ranks - reinforce the column still advancing, and by strength of strong arms in the field and patriotic sentiment at home fill every village and hamlet claimed by traitors with the old flag and anthems of VICTORY, FREEDOM, and NATIONAL UNION. I submit herewith the Report of Adjutant General Allen C. Fuller, who, in the organization of our regiments, has labored faithfully, and brought great energy, efficiency and ability in the discharge of all the varied and complicated duties of the Adjutant General's office. To him, and assistants in his office, and to my own staff, am I much indebted for the success which has crowned my labors in raising, organizing and responding to all the demands of the large number of troops which Illinois has sent to the field.
