Needs Review Transcription A written representation of a document or a page. Private Head Quarters 1st Cavalry Brigade LaGrange Tenn. Feb. 17. 1863. Hon. Richd. Yates Governor of Illinois Governor, I am happy to inform you, that since your brother Wm's arrival here, he has been acting on my staff as aide de camp, and has been perfectly steady, and conducted himself in every way as a gentleman. Upon receiving notice of Lieut. Beck's resignation as adjutant of the 6th Illinois Cavalry, I immediately recommended him to Lieut. Col. Loomis, who now has command of the Regiment, to fill the vacancy. Yours announcing my recommendation for Brig. Gen'l. came duly to hand. Accept my thanks for the favor; but there are so many names before the President & Senate in connection with this position that I fear, unless extraordinary efforts are made by my friends, that the attempt will prove futile. Should you not go to Washington <hr />yourself, would it not be well to telegraph the President, or entrust the matter to some one there, who can be depended upon to urge the matter. Should I succeed in obtaining the promotion, I will endeavor to obtain a better position for your brother. I have not seen any notice of my nomination by the President. Let me hear from you on receipt of this, whether you have received any information in regard to the matter. Respectfully Your obt. servt. B.H. Grierson <hr /> Private “G” Col B H Grierson LaGrange Tenn Febry 17 1863. Says since Will arrived there he has been acting upon his staff as aid de C. has conducted himself in very way as a gentleman. Has recommended him to the Lieut Col for the position of Adjt. Thanks the Governor for the recommendation for Brigadier General. Thinks unless extraordinary efforts are made it will prove a failure. Recd Ex O. May 1863.

Weigel secretary, and the following resolutions were offered, and unanimously adoptet: In consideration of the critical position of our country at present and of the intrigues of miserable politicians and partisans, who - while the true and loyal citizens of our state, with the sacrifice of blood and life, endeavor to destroy the enemies of our most sacred rights; - aid and abett these enemies, at home, by means of treasonable, and our state degrading resolutions, be it resolved: 1., That we, the German soldiers and citizens of the State of Illinois, who have declared themselves willing to sacrifice all for the preservation of the Union, have heard with the greatest indignation of the miserable treachery of the men, who dare to call themselves our representatives. 2., That we endorse with pleasure the emancipation proclamation of our President, and are at any moment ready to execute it with arms in hand. <hr /> 3., That we regard our Governor Richard Yates, as one of the noblest, truest and most high minded patriots of the United States, and that we refute the infamous attacks and slanders, which have been made upon him by secesh-sympathizing members of the legislature of Illinois, as low and mean in the highest degree, and that we regret that we are no longer at Camp Butler, to have an opportunity of liberating the halls of our capitol, from this detestable scum. 4., That we condemn the majority-report of the house committee on federal relations most decidedly, and that we consider the authors and all those, who voted in favor of this report as rebels and traitors, who deserve to be hung by the side of Jeff. Davis and consorts. 5., That we, contrary to this report, consider the minority report of the same committee, as the noble expression of the sentiments of true patriots, and acknowledge and esteem the same as such with all our heart, and that we are convinced that the same will be endorsed by every soldier of the State of Illinois. 6., That we hope and wish, that this rebellion may soon be suppressed, but only by force of arms, and that then the traitors in the north as well as the leaders of the rebellion in the south, may not evade their just punishment. 7., That these resolutions be published in the "Illinois-Staats-Zeitung" and the "Chicago Tribune," <hr /> and copies thereof be sent to the Governor of Illinois and to our representatives in Congress, as well as to our Colonel Frederic Hecker, who, unfortunately, was prevented by disease, from participating in this demonstration.

I have for some time been indulging myself, with the wish to try the experiment of rais a Regment of Negros, and drill them for the service. This with many at home. I know would be a vary unpoplar undertaking. But at the first braking out of this rebelian. I started out to do all that was in my power to put it down. And I now am prepared to use every means. that will kill a trator. It is now almost one year since I came into the Slave States, and have been imployed the greater part of the time in Scouting. which has thrown me in constant communication with the Negros. And I have been induced to believe that they can be made avalible as Solders. I think that it is the true policy for the government to use every means that it can <hr /> to protect the lives of its white citizens. and the Government will be weakened less by the loss of three negros than it would be by the loss of one white man. This is my opinion it my be erronious. My health has become such that I fear that I will not be able to withstand the hardships of the Cavlery Service much longer. Is one reson for my wishing to make this change of Sirvice. And an other I think that I can do more good by organising a thousand ineffective men and making them usefull Solders than I can by commanding an old and well drilled company. To enable me to set about this enterprise I must have an order from the war department. And this will have to be obtained through some influencial friend. You know that all of my friends are opposed to the Negros being brought into the service. The assistance of Gov. Yates would be of great adventige.
