Peoria Illinois Oct 1st 1863. Hon Richard Yates Springfield Ills. My Dear Sir. I suppose you have already been informed of the resignation of Judge Merriman of this Circuit; and of the consequent vacancy existing here. We have as yet received no official information, as to the time when an election to fill the vacancy will be held: and at the suggestion of your good friends Johnson Powell and others, I write to ask you whether there would be any impropriety in calling the election to fill the vacancy at a different time than that of the general election in November. The Election would then be comparatively free from the usual excitements of a political canvas - and give the friends of the Union a fairer chance to secure the election of <hr /> their candidate for Judge - We have had an imbecile Copperhead on the Bench quite too long to suit our loyal hearts, and we all feel that if you will only call the Special Election after the General Election you will very materially help us to a better and different result.

Springfield Ills Oct 10 1863. Hon E M Stanton Secty of War Sir Representing the State government and loyal Union men of Illinois, we desire urgently to call your attention to the importance and necessity of being supplied with arms and accoutrements with which to enable loyal military organizations to protect social order and to aid the State and National Government in inforcing such laws and regulations as are necessary for to preserve public tranquility and maintain the armies of the Government in the field. It cannot be too strongly impressed upon the National Administration that combinations have been forming and well digested plans matured by the enemies of the Government in Illinois looking to open actual rebellion against the measures and constituted authorities of the Government---State and National. The presence of <hr /> implements of War in the hands of loyal Military Organizations under the control of the State Authorities will tend to discourage and intimidate bands of disloyalists---now armed and drilling---and to restore the confidence not felt by the loyal people of the State because of the absence of disposition or ability heretofore manifested by the War Department to send arms to Illinois. While Indiana and Ohio have received an abundant supply There is herewith transmitted a resolution adopted by the State Executive Committee of the Union League of America for Illinois, by which it may be inferred that the dangers which menace the State are receiving the active attention of the people, and that they demand action of the only legitimate source from which it can be expected In accordance with said resolution it is respectfully requested that authority issue and that the Government provide for the organization and employment within the State, of four regiments of Infantry and one of Cavalry for three years unless sooner discharged. It is however submitted that the organization is not <hr /> deemed absolutely necessary, if the loyal Militia organizations can be supplied with arms &c. The hesitation heretofore manifested by the Government to arm Militia Organizations is the reason for requesting the employment of Government troops. We wish you may find it practicable to send arms immediately. Very Respectfully Rich. Yates (signed) Geo. H. Harlow P.S. Oct 14th 1863 Since writing the above the undersigned members of the State Executive Committee of the USA in Illinois and representing the feelings of one hundred and twenty five thousand members of the League and those of all the loyal men in Illinois, have ascertained that 10,000 arms have been secured by His Excellency Governor Yates whose efforts in that behalf with the Department for months past have met the hearty concurrance of all the loyal people of this State. We are thankful for the action taken by the Department, but insist that 10000 stand of arms are insufficient to accomplish the purposes actually required to stay the tide of evil which treason openly proclaimed is spreading through <hr /> the State. The disturbed condition of Missouri and the excitement attended upon the fall elections in other Western States embarrasses and seriously effects Illinois---and we firmly believe that an organization of the entire reliable Militia force of the State is absolutely imperative. If the Government wish more men from Illinois, (and no man beyond the limits of Washington doubts but that she will have yet to supply thousands,) would not an organized and drilled Militia force be of infinite advantage! Without Militia drilled and organized You will find the North Western States when you call for reinforcement---in a state of civil strife Very Respectfully <hr /> Gov Yates 1863 To E M Stanton secy of War Urgently requests the Secy to send arms for the loyal Militia of Illinois or Else authorize 3 Regiments to be raised for Service in the State--- Infantry and 1 of Cavalry---Thinks these would not sufficient to insure against the outbreaks threatened by traitors within the State acknowledges the receipt of 10000 stand of arms and says more will be needed---suggests the advantage to the Genl Government of having the Militia armed and drilled.

Oct 22nd 1863 His Exc Gov. Yates, Dear Sir: Pardon the liberty I take in trespassing upon your valuable time. But I am sure your kind and patriotic heart will excuse in a case like this. A friend, in this place, has a brother, belonging to the "Waterhouse Battery", of your state, who has been very sick for some time past, and is now confined in the Hospital at Madison of this state. A younger brother, in the same battery, died a few weeks since in St. Louis or some other place in Mo. The <hr /> friends desire a furlough for the sick man, that he may go home to revive his health. His parents live in Michigan and are old and infirm. The loss of one son and the sickness of this one, have very much broken them. The young man has been in the company from its formation and was through all the Engagements before Vicksburg. He does not desire to be discharged; but to have time enough at home to get well. If you can do any thing in this case, it will be most gratefully received. We do not know what other course to pursue to accomplish this end, or we would not trouble you, pressed, as we know, with so many cases. <hr /> The young man is Wm. D. Mershon, corporal in the Watterhouse Battery of Chicago. We do not know where the Battery is, but, as before state, Mr. Mershon is now in Madison, Ind. - Personally I have no interest in the case more than others who love our country and sympathize with those who are suffering or whose friends are in trouble. I am happy to believe that I address one whose heart is right in this great struggle and who delights to do what he can for our brave soldiers. Yours Truly, Thos Bowman Sir Dr Bowman is the President of I. A. University. Any statement he may make to you you may reply in with compleat confidence.
