Colonel: Immediately following my interview with you on the 25th inst. I have the honor to report that I visited Hillsboro, in Montgomery County, on the 26th inst. where I remained until the 27th, and as the result of personal and careful inquiry I am persuaded that no action can be lawfully taken on my part by which to disband the marauders in the locality of Van Buren or Hurricane, for the reason that their outrages are committed <hr /> wholly in violation of the civil laws. And that the parties are all, so far as I can learn. Citizens and refugee or renegade Missourians. A meeting of the leading citizens was called on my arrival at Hillsboro, which I attended. At this meeting a general deliberation was had on the question of their difficulties, and the conclusion was fully arrived at, that the lawless organization in the county was composed of parties whose whole purpose is that of horse-thieving and robbery. It is fully ascertained that about 200 desperate characters have organized and established a camp in that vicinity which is made a depository for their plunder in general. It is also understood that this organization is under the leadership of a man named Clingman, who is represented as intelligent and desperate, <hr /> as well as well versed in Military regulations. They keep up their picket guard and permit nobody to pass their "lines" without the "countersign". Steps are now being taken by the citizens to have warrants issued against all parties who are known to belong to the organization, with a view of taken civil action in the premises by an appeal, if need be, to the Governor for the necessary force to effect their arrest and punishment by civil law. Be assured, Colonel, if it should be made to appear that any action is necessary on my part, your directions will be promptly complied with. Very Respectfully (signed) Wm. M. Fry Capt. & Prov.

Chattanooga Tenn July 27 1864 Gov Rich Yates, Dear Governor, From the papers I learn the Governor of Ohio under the last call of the President for troops proposes to form Twenty new regiments of Infantry. Not knowing what will be your system or policy with reference to the quota from our State I venture upon this communication. I will not presume upon giving advice nor would I ask the humble privilege of even making Suggestions but hope to be allowed to express my own views. Allow me to say in the beginning that I have long been thoroughly convinced that our old System of recruiting has been very fatal to the interests of our army & country. Volunteering is the proper plan of forming an army when the war fever is high and the great national heart beats quick with a zealous patriotism but when the first <hr /> ardour is over and the army is formed then keep its ranks full by a sure unerring certain swift and merciless draft. That old commutation clause (now happily repealed) was as useless as it was weak and unmanly. Then let us have the draft and let it fall upon all all alike---make every Section and every one bear the proper burden. I hope too it will not be our policy to form another new regiment---no not one. We have now in the field one hundred skeleton regiments! About half this number are Veteran organizations. Let their ranks be filled to the minimum at least, that those proud Stern gallant old regiments that have Shed so much lustre on our fair State, may hold their organizations and perpetuate their illustrious histories and glorious records of valor and virtuous renown. I ask this, in part, for the brave old 21st. I think the regiment that has given to the Country a Lieut General, and that has achieved glorious results by its determined and unflenching Courage and Self-Sacrificing patriotism ought to have some favors shown it, <hr /> though it never received any heretofore. It now has about Two hundred and Twenty men being nearly Two hundred veterans. It yet holds its organization but unless it obtains recruits will not be able to do so very long, for there will not be enough left to compose the Color-guard. There are enough men for two full companies. Then why not send it 6 or 8 full and organized Companies of one or two years men and then again will be such a regiment as followed Col Grant from Springfield July 3d 1861! These Veteran regts have the pledge of the government that they shall hold their organizations while they have men enough to carry the Colors! This is one of the principal considerations of their reenlistment. Then would it not be economical and justice and encouragement to the brave fellows to fill up their ranks? I ask this much as an old soldier, believing it to be the true interest of our government to do so. I have no personal interest in this matter other than that of patriotism and love of justice My time having expired and my health failing I left the front on the 28th of June and am now in Chattanooga on temporary duty. <hr /> I am getting my papers in order and will very soon leave the Service. By reference to the politics of our Dist I suppose I will soon be a candidate for the Legislature I have been asked to accept the nomination and under the circumstances have concluded it was proper to do so and I am advised that I will be nominated when our convention meets at Mattoon Ills on the 3d day of next month. Something more than a month since I sent you a recommendation to commission 1st Asst Surg. James L.[Reat?] of my regiment in the position of Surgeon of Same regt vice Eden M. Seeley resigned. Has there yet been any action taken in this case. If you see proper please address me at Chattanooga, don't give regiment as the letter would then go to the regiment in field.

I know it is not your fault but we are your troops, and we obliged your call which was in my situation and position an uncommon sacrifice. The Commanding General here is either a base Copperhead or a very unfit person for his position, the Troops here have not been paid for 5 or 6 months and they have taken to Stealing on whatever they can lay their hands on, so that a common Soldier here is looked upon as a common thief.

I need hardly tell you that I am not one of these easy to be inclined to crumbling on the Contrary what I have here said, I say to you as your personal friend, and a Co. Worker in our Countrys cause.
