The remarks of the Commission upon the sanitary condition of the camp, are doubtless, to a very great extent, if not wholly, just – How far the officers in charge were responsible for the abuses complained of, and how far these abuses arose from circumstances beyond their control, is matter of some doubt. Upon taking command here, last week, this subject was brought to my notice immediately. Major Heffernan, <hr /> an officer in whose capacity I have great confidence, has been assigned, to the command of Camp Bates. The Hospitals will be extended and improved as quickly as authority for that purpose can be obtained-- a daily, thorough inspection of the Barracks, Hospitals, culinary department, and grounds will be made, and reformatory measure adopted wherever, and whenever needed, inclusive of the removal of incompetent or negligent officials. That part of the Report relating to cruel, and unnecessarily severe punishments, and insufficient supply of subsistence, will be made the subject of further investigation.

I am Sir Very Respectfully Your Obdt Servt Julius White Brig Gen U. S. Vols. His Excellency Richd Yates Governor of Illinois <hr /> Julius White Brig Genl Comdg at Springfield Ills. Sir We the undersigned would respectfully make the following statement for your consideration. On Sunday the 31st ult. we were informed by reliable authority that armed men were assembling at a point ten miles distant from Paris Edgar Co Ills. where ourselves & some of our men were enjoying the furloughs granted to Veteran Volunteers and that one hundred and fifty of these armed men were approaching Paris for some unknown purpose. As one soldier had been killed and others maltreated in Edgar Co within the past few months we deemed it our duty to assemble & arm our men for defense against threatening violence and there quietly occupy some defensible points which we did. We chose the Court house and occupied it in a quiet and orderly manner. Soon after a party of armed & mounted men came in from the direction in which we were informed the mob were and when within hailing distance dared us to fight and then fell back a short distance. We sent out a small <hr /> party of our men with an officer to capture them or otherwise ascertain the object of their coming against us. As our party approached them they fired upon it and fled we returned the fire wounding one who is supposed to be the commander of the mob in the field - Johnston. We captured four of their horses. We remained on arms all night as we were were informed they intended 'a raid' on the town. On the 1st inst. Amos Green a lawyer of Paris who was arrested for treason sometime since and is now under bonds for his loyal behavior confessed that he had sent a messenger to that part of the county from which these armed men came for arms & men to come to Paris to protect some property against which no demonstration had been made by soldiers or any one else. He admitted this to the undersigned and two days afterward promised to send out and disperse the mob. He did send out one O'Hair former Sheriff of the Co and on the 4th inst. we learned the mob had dispersed. Amos Green clearly proved his control of the armed force by convening & dispersing them at pleasure and we consider <hr /> him responsible for the attack & disturbance on the 31st ult. Amos Green is now in Paris and the names of the armed men who fired upon us may be obtained if desirable Obtly Yours A.K. Campbell Maj 66th Ills. Infty H. Van Sellar Capt 12th Ills.

Washington June 19th 1864 Sir I have the honor to state that in accordance with your request I called upon the President yesterday, in company with Mr Arnold and Mr Levett, and represented to him your views, as expressed to me, regarding affairs in our State- The President does not appear to apprehend any serious disturbances north of the Ohio, but admits that situated as you are, with no official Militia law, and with no troops stationed within the State, except such as are guarding prisoners, the State authorities would be in an embarrassing situation if any considerable uprising of Copperheads should occur, and directed me to say to your Excellency, that any measure you should think proper to submit in a definite form, should receive consideration - <hr /> As I was not authorized to do so, I did not attempt to propose any thing, but said that there were two things requisite to secure the State against such outbreaks - One was troops, and the other a Military Commander having jurisdiction coextensive with the State, and who could be called upon at all times when necessary by the Governor - That you had neither one nor the others at present. I respectfully suggest whether it would not be well to ask authority to raise troops, to such numbers as you may deem necessary, for service within the State and not elsewhere, for six months, covering a period beyond the Presidential election - If that may be passed without disturbance, I believe there will be no danger thereafter - Without troops, the Military Commander would be useless.
