CALVARY REGIMENT. The War Department has authorized the undersigned to receive twelve companies of cavalry to form a regiment of cavalry for State service, to serve three years or during the war. One hundred and one men, rank and file, will be required to a company, but companies may go into camp with eighty-four men. The object of this regiment is for State service alone. The pay is the same as that received by cavlary in teh U.S. service. The regiment will go into camp at Shawneetown. ROBERT KIRKHAM. Feb.26, 1863n34 <hr /> Shawneetown, Ill. April 7th. 1863. To His Excellency, Richard Yates, Governor of Illinois. Sir: -Col. Kirkham claiming to be authorized by the Sec. of War to raise a Regiment of Cavalry for "State service" induced several different persons to go to work to raise companies for that Reg't. C. H. Rogers raised very nearly a full company and had men in camp here for near three weeks. Theodore Gatewood and A. P. Stephenson inform me to night that they have seventy-five men - They now have twenty-five men in Camp here - they came in to day. Their other men are to be in to-morrow. Several other companies are now forming in this and adjoining Counties. Col. Kirkhaus now advises Rogers & Gatewood & Stephenson that Sec. Stanton has revoked the order authorizing him to raise the Regiment. A number of men have been put to serious trouble and expense, which they cannot well lose, and yet which they cannot get back, unless they now be allowed to go on and raise one or two companies. <hr /> Will you not authorize the raising at least two Companies of Cavalry under the order of the Sec of War of 9th February 1863. to be raised here - let them rendezvous any where - Chicago, if advisable - A regiment of Cavalry or Infantry can be raised in Lower Egypt (this Cong. Dist.) in short time for guard & protection of the State, or for U. S. service if some one in whose veracity honor and loyalty the people could place confidence was to undertake it, and such Reg't. could be formed by such person in short time. I respectfully suggest that soldiers for guard & protection of the State, if needed along the Ohio river or in the interior of Southern Illinois should be cavalry, and not infantry. If you can do so on behalf of those men, privates as well as officers, who have rented out their little farms, and who not having farms have neglected to rent, expecting to go into service at the call of the Constituted authorities. I most respectfully and earnestly beseech you that you do authorize - the men above named or others to go into camp with at least two Companies of Cavalry If as I said, you authorize raising a Reg't it can be done in a short time, with the <hr /> proper man at the head of it.

Head-Quarters, Post Military Commission, Memphis, Tenn April 10, 1863 Dear Governor, I dont know whether you are bored to death by my Applications or not, but I ask leave to trouble you once more. Brig. Genl. L. Thomas Adj. Genl. U.S.A., will be here in a very few days from Vicksburg. I am informed that he is empowered to grant Commissions to such Officers as he shall see fit to raise and command Nego Regts. I should be very glad to get a line from you to him urging and recommending me for an appointment as Colonel. If you see fit to send me such I think that, taken in connection with the Recommendations I have from all the Generals I have served under, it will accomplish the object desired. Mr. E. P. Kirby wrote to me saying that you had written to me in answer to a former letter some two or more months ago, and that you had also made application to the <hr /> War Department in my favor. I am greatly obliged to you although by some accident I failed to get your letter. Major Hubbard of our Regt. lately resigned and went into the Marine Brigade. Col. Ritter, Lt. Col. Price and all the other Officers of my Regt. here, as soon as as they received the news, at once insistedly agreed in my favor as Major, but within a week afterwards we learned that Gov. Gamble had already, without waiting to hear from us at all, appointed a St. Louis Man. Our new Colonel and Lieut. Col., who have been appointed within 6 or 8 months, are outsiders who never belonged to our Regt. but were 2d Lieutenants in the Regular Army; so you perceive that Promotions in our Regt. are all arbitrarily made from the outside. We all wish that the Regt. was transferred to its own State, Illinois. A Semi-Secesh Governor is a great damper to the efficiency of Men and Officers. I am detailed on a Permanent Post Commission here, but I prefer service in the field, say under Rosecrans, to all else. Yours very Respectfully, Barboour Lewis Capt. Co. G. 1st Mo. Cav. <hr /> Captn Barbour Lewis Head Qurs, Military Commnd for Memphis April 10-63 Wants letter to Adj. Genl L.
