The following letter from Senator Yates, OF
Illinois, was written in reply TO oneasking
for the information it contains:
WASHINGTON, ID. c., July g. 1868.
DEAR Sin: Ireceived your favor of the 9Th
inst, inquiring whether the report is true
! that Gen. Grant begged me for a commits
! sion in the army while was Governor of
/ Illinois. | answer no. At the commence
ment of the war he came TO me and modestly
offered his services in whatever capacity he
could be useful He rendered important
aid in the Governors and Adiutant Gener-
ats offices, and places Of military rendez-
vous in the State While he was absent on
visit to Kentucky, / offered HIM, by tele-
graph, the appointment Of Colonel Of the
2lst Illinois Infantry. He did not ask the
appointment, and have reason to believe
that he knew nothing Of my intention of
rendering it until he received my dispatch,
nor did he expect it. / never saw anything
in General Grant before his appointment OF
since that looked like begging me or any
other person for office He has none of the
ways Of professional Office seekers and his
whole history shows place seeking him
rather than hin seeking place. When he
called upon me he seemed to feel that he
owed the Government which had given him
military education the benefit ofthat edu-
clation, and that in the hour of her peril he
he should not be choice in the place assign
ed him in tho service am sure he was
movedby the most unselfsh patriotism. In
closed herewith please find copy of
speech delivered by me, in the Senate, on
the bill to revive the grade Of General of
the Army which details at greater length
than is suitable to a short letter, the his
tory Of his first engageing in the military
service in 1861, and of his connection with
the raising of troops in Illinois also my
views of the character and services of the
great General, who, at the head of our
brave boys in blue crushed the rebellion,
crowned our arms with victory, and saved
the life of the nation
