You will probably remember that at the suggestion and recommendation of Mr. Scammon, I had the honor of calling upon you a short time since at the Tremont House in this city, and informed you that I felt that my attainments (humble though they were) were needed, and could be made of use to our Country in this hour of her peril.

I have not yet met with Sedgewick the member from Dupage but expect to see him on my return to Naperville tomorrow.

I held court in McHenry County a few weeks ago, and was glad to find that Joslyn was right. I had feared that the failure of this brother to obtain the colonelcy of the 141st might have made him hostile. I had a full conversation with him and he assured me he should support you heartily.

With C. A. Dana letter 12/12/64 (Copy) War Department Bureau of Military Justice November 29th 1864. Respectfully returned to the Secretary of War. It is set forth in the within affidavit (and accompanying papers,) that Hiram Stanton a deputy Provost Marshall has been, since April last, confined in the County jail of Marion Co. Illinois, upon a charge of murder, and that the homicide upon which the charge was based was committed by him while in the discharge of his duty, in arresting by him the order of the Provost Marshall at Cairo, one Newkirk, for treason and disloyalty. It is added that the arrest was resisted by Newkirk and another, who fired upon and wounded Stanton before he himself fired upon them. Under these circumstances it is believed that this party is entitled to have his case passed upon by a military court, as being in the military service of the United States, and therefore included within the provisions of Section 30, ch. 75, of Act of 3 March, 1863. It has heretofore been ruled that this section confers an exclusive jurisdiction upon military <hr /> courts for the trial of the crimes therein mentioned, when committed by persons in the military service and subject to the articles of war. A deputy Provost Marshall is an officer appointed by virtue of Circular No. 19 of War Department, Prov. Mar. Gen's. office, of June 8th. 1863. His duty is to assist the District Provost Marshall in the performance of the duties devolved upon him by law, and particularly in causing the arrest of deserters. He is appointed to assist the Provost Marshall simply because the latter is supposed to be unable to perform effectually the numerous and pressing duties imposed upon him. He therefore acts in the place and stead of his principal, and being thus the substitute and representative of the latter, he should be held bound to the same military control, as well judicial as executive. In accordince with previous rulings of this Bureau he would therefore be held triable by Court Martial for wrongful acts done in the course of the performance of his official duties, and would be viewed as in the military service of the United States. It is therefore advised that the Governor of Illinois be requested to turn over Stanton to the <hr /> [Nov 29 1964] military authorities for trial upon a charge of murder before a military tribunal. In a number of similar cases requests of this character have been addressed to the Governors of States, and, except in a single instance, (as far as the knowledge of this Bureau extends,) have been favorably entertained, and at once acceded to.
