                  <text>Captain Alexander Kinnear Ewing (1840-1874) was one of the three sons of the early Logansport, Indiana settlers, John M. (1814-1867) and Jane Kinnear Ewing (1818-1887). Captain Ewing served in the Civil War, rising from the rank of private to captain in Company B, 128th Indiana Infantry, seeing action during the Atlanta Campaign under General William Tecumseh Sherman. Upon returning from the war, he married Louisa Francis Harris (1844-1899) in 1865 and served as Deputy Postmaster and then Postmaster of Logansport, until his untimely death at the age of thirty-four. His wife, Louisa, served as Postmaster for a brief period after her husband&amp;rsquo;s death and remarried in 1881 to Jehu Z. Powell. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before Captain Ewing&amp;rsquo;s death, he and Louisa had one daughter, Jennie Ewing (1868-1923), who married Charles E. Marshall in 1887. Charles E. Marshall and Jennie Ewing Marshall had four sons, including Roland Jehu Marshall (1892-1944). Roland and his wife, Eleanor, had two children, including Francis Dwight Marshall. Jennie Ewing moved from Indiana to Illinois and is buried at Oak Ridge Cemetery in Springfield, Illinois. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This collection consists of photographs relating to the Ewing family and the family of Charles E. Marshall, including Charles&amp;rsquo; parents, Florence Brown and William P. Marshall, and his grandfather John Colvin Brown.</text>

                  <text>Captain Alexander Kinnear Ewing (1840-1874) was one of the three sons of the early Logansport, Indiana settlers, John M. (1814-1867) and Jane Kinnear Ewing (1818-1887). Captain Ewing served in the Civil War, rising from the rank of private to captain in Company B, 128th Indiana Infantry, seeing action during the Atlanta Campaign under General William Tecumseh Sherman. Upon returning from the war, he married Louisa Francis Harris (1844-1899) in 1865 and served as Deputy Postmaster and then Postmaster of Logansport, until his untimely death at the age of thirty-four. His wife, Louisa, served as Postmaster for a brief period after her husband&amp;rsquo;s death and remarried in 1881 to Jehu Z. Powell. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before Captain Ewing&amp;rsquo;s death, he and Louisa had one daughter, Jennie Ewing (1868-1923), who married Charles E. Marshall in 1887. Charles E. Marshall and Jennie Ewing Marshall had four sons, including Roland Jehu Marshall (1892-1944). Roland and his wife, Eleanor, had two children, including Francis Dwight Marshall. Jennie Ewing moved from Indiana to Illinois and is buried at Oak Ridge Cemetery in Springfield, Illinois. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This collection consists of photographs relating to the Ewing family and the family of Charles E. Marshall, including Charles&amp;rsquo; parents, Florence Brown and William P. Marshall, and his grandfather John Colvin Brown.</text>

&lt;p&gt;Madam,&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The overwhelming affliction which has befallen you and which has spread mourning not only over your country but over the whole world ought perhaps to command my silent sympathy. But that national calamity is also a personal loss to me who had many opportunities of appreciating himself the noble heart, the great qualities of M. Lincoln, who held from him his commission in the Federal Army and who gratefully remembers the gracious and friendly manner in which it was tendered to him. I hope therefore that you will excuse the liberty I take to offer you the expression of my sincere condolence with your grief. It is an impulse which I could not resist, an hommage which I am anxious to pay to a great and respected memory.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Nobody pretends to offer you any consolation for what mean the voices of the whole world when the only voice which we long to hear once more is silent for ever? But the expressions of sympathy are, perhaps, more acceptable when they come from one who has gone himself through the terrible ordeal of great and untimely family losses.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;It is with these feelings that I beg you, Madam, to believe me,&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Your most devoted&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="right"&gt;Louis Philippe D'Orl&amp;eacute;ans&lt;/p&gt;</text>

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have the honor to inform you that it is represented by creditable citizens of this State that the lives of citizens of Lasalle and their property are threatened by an armed mob at that place rendering it in my opinion necessary to have a military force to prevent the execution of such threats.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The property of the Illinois Central Rail Road, in which the General Government have an interest, is also liable to be destroyed
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;at or near that place
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I therefore respectfully request that you dispatch to that place a military force of seventy-five men and two Commissioned officers, to render such aid to the Civil Authorities as may be necessary to protect the lives and property of Citizens there.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very Respectfully

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hon. C. W. Upham.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My Dear Sir.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I thank you for your letter of cordial congratulation. I assure you, I most highly prize the good opinion of yourself and family, and therefore was much delighted at the kind words you were pleased to employ towards me.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have made speeches in 72 counties of the State - really not caring to have the office of Governor, for while I plead to the weakness (if it be such) of ambition, yet that is not an office to my taste, and I think I neither look, nor feel Governorish, (if I may coin a word). I however desired to be elected upon the principles of the Republican party, which you truly say stands "just where we put it in the Nebraska fight in the 33rd Congress," - My majority is highly gratifying as my vote is several thousand ahead of Lincoln, and I lead the whole ticket. I shall therefore try to show myself as much worthy of such confidence as my
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;humble efforts will allow.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Our great delight is in the election of Lincoln, and in the high estimate you have formed of him I am sure you have not overrated him. He is as you say "a good, sound, old fashioned Henry Clay Whig". He is a clear and deep thinker, and although so modest as to be retiring, yet I believe will be, and would have been even while unknown to fame, the center of almost any circle of our greatest men into which he might have been thrown. But he is also one of the most loveable of men, a pure hearted and right minded man, gentle as a child and yet brave as old Hickory. I believe Lincoln will conciliate the South without even the slightest concession of principle.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I design going to Washington immediately after the adjournment of our Legislature, which I think will be about the 1st March. I should be happy to meet you there. I know not how much influence I may have with Mr Lincoln, for although for many years warm friends, I have not been with
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;him much lately. There are two persons, and only two, to whom I have any particular desire places in his cabinet should be tendered, and if you will allow me to be frank, you are one of those persons. I think it probable you desire no such place, and I know that hundreds will desire it, who are not worthy of it. I not only want Mr Lincoln to have able men as his advisers, but above all things, I want men who will be his friends. His, is a place, which will require the offices of true friendship. The evil of the times alas! is the selfishness, the corruption and the duplicity of our men "at the head of affairs".
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Please remember me to Mrs Upham. Tell her that I still have the verses on old Chanticleer. Miss Sarah is now a full grown young woman, tell her when she gets married, she must come to the prairie land to try her fortune.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sincerely Yours

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Col Webster has been connected with the service since 19th April 1861. Col Marsh since May and Col. Loomis since August 1861 and their seniority of rank. is mentioned as an additional reason for promotion.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Their advancement would be hailed with satisfaction by the regiments &amp;amp; brigades they have commanded in several battles---by the volunteer force in the field and the people of Illinois and we earnestly ask them to be remembered by your Excellency at as early a period, as, in your judgment the public good will admit.
