This experience which is indeed valuable is just so much taken from the Surgeons of the North West, to whom it rightfully belongs Had the matter ended with the appointment of the Brigade Surgeons, it might have been quietly submitted to, but since the exotics have obtained a foothold, their positions have been used as a lever to hoist others into place.

Our own Young Surgeons, who are of us and with us, who have been educated among us, who have passed the Board of Examiners with credit, and who are now in the ranks with their muskets, are deprived of all the rich advantages which result from the blood, bone and muscle of our own troops, which may be expended in the war, All the benefits which may result to science, an to be carried back Eastward, to lay the foundation of a practice there.

</p><p>to get at this matter, very simply, Just induce Govr Yates, to have the Medical Director here furnished with a list of the Young men who have passed the Board with credit, and direct him to make all appointments for the Hospital from that list. Or what I would like better let the field be open to all young men of the Medical Profession, who are now in the ranks of the Illinois Volunteers, & who can bring a proper certificate of character and qualifications.

And all I shall ask of you in addition to that you have already done for me, is a bunch of quills and a pint of good ink. I intent to put this matter through about our Young Surgeons. It has not been long enough for me to forget that I was Young, and I surely have not forgotten the time when as a private I stood guard on the Cairo Levee, with my musket, I can sympathize with every young man, who desire to raise himself in his profession, and I intend to put in my best efforts to stop the importation of Patientless Doctors from the East, and secure to our own meritorious Young Men, the advantages which

<p>New-York Daily Tribune
</p><p>Friday, June 12, 1863.
</p><p>COMMOTION IN ILLINOIS.
</p><p>On the 8th inst., the Senate of Illinois, by a vote of 14 to 7, resolved to adjourn without day at 6 that evening. The House overruled this by substituting for the 8th the 22d inst. The resolve, thus amended, was returned to the Senate, which disagreed to the amendment - 12 to 11. In this dead lock, they adjourned for the night. Now the State Constitution expressly provides:
</p><p>Sec. 13. In case of disagreement between the two Houses with respect to the time of adjournment, THE GOVERNOR SHALL HAVE POWER TO ADJOURN THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO SUCH TIME AS HE MAY THINK PROPER, provided it be not to a period beyond the next Constitutional meeting of the same.
</p><p>Gov. Yates hereupon next morning adjourned the Legislature without day.
</p><p>Hereupon The World sees fit to say:
</p><p>"The Republican Governor of Illinois has deliberately undertaken to prorogue the Legislature of that State for two years, or in other words to suspend the Constitution and proclaim himself the sole representative of the power of the people. This is substantially what was done by Louis Napoleon in those famous days of December, 1851, which made him first dictator and then Emperor of the French. He abolished the legislative assembly of France just as Governor Yates has assumed to abolish the Legislature of Illinois, and upon an exactly similar pretext, that its course was dangerous to the public welfare."
</p><p>-It seems unaccountable that any person who can write intelligible English should not realize the absurdity and inevitable falsity of the foregoing. Louis Napoleon's coup d'etat was effected by a military insurrection, whereby the law was overpowered by sheer force. Gov. Yates's act derives all its efficacy from the Constitutional provision above given. It is valid because it is legal, and only to the extent of its legality. Had it been what The World sillily imagines, the Legislature would have simply laughed at it, and proceeded with its deliberations.
</p><p>Gov. Yates Offers Ten Thousand Men to Repel Invasion.
</p><p>St. Louis, Thursday, June 25, 1683.
</p><p>The Democrat says that Gov. Yates of Illinois has offered the Secretary of War 10,000 men to repel invasion.

<p>Add: to Period 1861 - 1870:
</p><p>Of course, any reference
to the Governorship in Ill
from '61 to '65 would be
incomplete without a
reference to three things:
namely the "Proroguing of
the Legislature, The "Cairo
Expedition" and the Discov
ry of Ulysses S. Grant.
</p><p>The Cairo Expedition
was simply the prompt [illegible]
to Cairo of a body of Illinois State
Militia, between 600 and
700 strong, commanded by
Brigadier General Swift, the
whole enterprise being by the
direct order if War Govnr Yates.
Had not not Cairo been occupied
at his early date________1861
by Union troops, the soldiers
of the South would have occupied |over
</p>
<hr />
<p>that strategic point within
a very few days: and upon
its being threatened from the
North, Confederate troops in full force
would have been rushed in, and it would have
taken thousands of Illinois
lives to dislodge them.
Throughout the whole Civil War
there was no single spot
more useful and used by the Union more than Cairo. Had
we been deprived of it, the
damage + loss would have been incalculable. The
Cairo Expedition, therefore, is
worthy of extensive mention
- Entirely too extensive to be in-
cluded in this Manuscript.
To this [wrote] extensive [illegible]
we therefore lean it.
</p>
<hr />
<p>The Prorogation of
Legislation, June 9 18863,
was a matter unprecedented
in American History,
and [unimitated] except [by]
when War Govonor Olivor P
Morton [prorogurd] the Legis-
latun of Indiana. It
would require a separate
volume in the Illinois
State Historical Library
to print all the thing.
Accordingly I refrain [illegible]

<hr />
<p>Altho the whole country
seems to have talked about this prorogation, it seems

Elgin on the 4th day

it as follows.

<p>Marysville, California, Dec 27/61
</p><p>Hon Richard Yates
</p><p>Gov of Illinois
</p><p>Sir
</p><p>It is now going for six years since I left Virginia, and consequently that long since we have met, but upon the score of old acquaintance I presume to ask a favor from your hands, as thus,
</p><p>I have a son in the city of Philadelphia that has recently commenced the Practice of the Law, you and I are both aware of the many difficulties attending all young men in embarking in any profession, particularly that of Law, I would therefore request of you to appoint him a "Commissioner for Illinois,"
</p><p>Now I am not of opinion that this will prove of vast pecuniary benefit to him but the appointment would give him a standing in the public eye, which without it he might not immediately arrive it, and again, Office, excites ambition.
</p>
<hr />
<p>If Compliance with my request meets your approbation you will have the kindness to forward the commission to
</p><p>"George W. A. Hathwell
</p><p>Atty at Law No 605 Lansom St
</p><p>Philadelphia"
</p><p>and the favor will be duly appreciated by me, I am ready to meet any expense attending this
</p><p>Wishing you every enjoyment privately and politically
