Tutae People Of the State Of Illinois:
During my recent visit to our brave army
iu Tcnncsscc, with the view of procuring .
definite and accurate list OF the dead and |
wounded nlinotsans Tho were engaged IN the |
Donelson. for the information Of friends and
rrlaiiycs, aud also to BE- fled and preserved
among the archives Of the State, and also for
the purpose Of Furnishing aid to the wounded,
State and Auditor Of Public Accounts, on the
a4th ef February, u4imo, Instituted 4 commits
Eion-haying first procured the consent Of
Generals cullo1n and Paine, military conman-
ders ut Cairo.
The above named commission consisted Of
Dr.. J. B, Curtis, who was sent to Cairo, D1.
Il c. Johns, to Mound City. md Major Fred.
4. Starring and DR., Henry Williams, to Paau-
cah-to cach Of whom gave letters Of author
ltyz copies Of WHICH arc hereto appended.
Ihc report Of two members Of the comnis-
sion, together with The report Of cS-Gocernor
John Wood, who va: sent to Nashville for the
sa1nc purpose, is herewith submitted.
a competent agent vas also dispatched to
Fort DoucIson 10 ascertain the 1arnes and bur-
ial places Of tic Killed, and to designate By
proper marks the grave Of each soldier so far
rs practicable, with his name and the number
Of his company or regiment. lie will als fur
nish tlc names and residences Of such officers
and soldiers Us cnul,t not he removed On ;lc-
couui oi tit severity OF lnclr wounds, and who
have brr and still are receiving hospital treat
ment 1t Fort Don"ls0a, The report Of this
agent, as also that oftlc other members ofthe
commission, will be published as soon as they
| c3li t,e Perfected
It is believed that when these reports nre re-
ceirtd and have tcen examined By tic soldiers
and ,lsvr fricl,ds. with such additional facts a.
| they cali furnish, the Adju:a,t General Of the
| State will be able TO have i'll the tiles OF his
| office full and complete record Of those who
l hare e7tfftrffS cr tfitd IN that hfnn1v fft.Jf
It Is sincerely to be hoped that rot siuglc
| nalnc Of those ..al1ant men whose proTcss
has reflected such inpeTisbablc 1ustre upon
| tic Stale aud country, shall remain unreeord-
! ed. No l.at11e has been or can be fought
| which shall morc siynally tell upon the rebel
| lior lh,u this; and no historic page can re-
| cord, OF will ever record, more patriotic dar
in::, Vt brighter achievements.
Wherever it is possible, the remains of every
| IllinoIsan who fell in that terrible conflict
! Should be brought home to the State, and ever
enduring monuments erected to thcirmcmory.
Every one OF them was trsla hcEo. By their
Guuntlcss yalor the State Of Illinois occupies
the proud en,iDence of having daac more to
suppress the rebellion anl to preserve the
Union than any other State; and bY every
consideration of gratitude and Patriotism the
Stat: should neglect no neans Of testifying
its grateful remembrance.
