W[illiam] B. Hazen, Colonel Commanding, 19th Brigade, Camp Shiloh, Tennessee. To Governor David Tod. Letter enclosing several recommendations for promotion in the 41st Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, which he hoped and trusted Tod would not disregard; stating that Captain [William R.] Tolles was appointed Major to the regiment by virtue of his holding the senior commission of Captain, that while the rule of promotion, although applying to the regular service where every man had been educated and tried for years, was a good one, it was in no way infallible for the volunteer service, that it presupposed all men equally fitted by natural endowment, which missed widely of the mark, that Tolles, although a good and honest man, was no more fit to be Major of a regiment than a boy of ten years, that knowing this fact, Tolles declined to accept the place just before the battle of April 7 [Shiloh], that Captain Aquilla Wiley, 41st Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry was now recommended, that Wiley was by far the most competent officer in the regiment for the position, that it was the desire of the majority of the regiment that Wiley be appointed, that Wiley distinguished himself on the field in the battle of April 7 [Shiloh], that Wiley was shot down while leading his regiment, flag in hand, and it was but due the service, the regiment, and Wiley that he be appointed its Major, that he wished his brother for aide-de-camp, that his brother enlisted in Captain Wetmore's battery when it was a part of the 41st Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, that it was supposed his brother would remain with the regiment, that his brother enlisted with the full understanding that he would receive promotion in the regiment whenever he showed himself worthy and there should be a vacancy, that his brother had now shown himself worthy on the field, that he was enclosing a telegram from southern sources which gave a true account of officers there on Sunday evening when [Don Carlos] Buell's forces arrived, that had they not been prompt, the day would have been lost to the forces of the U.S., that he wished it distinctly understood that General [Ulysses S.] Grant was completely "whipped" on Sunday and the victory of Monday was won entirely by Buell, that the outpost of the U.S. Army on the night of April 6 was within five hundred yards of Pittsburg Landing, that Buell's 4th Division ([William] Nelson's), the only one to arrive until after nightfall, was formed parallel to the river at 10 P.M., that at daylight, it pushed forward, that at 6 A.M., it engaged the enemy, that at night, having been reinforced by [Thomas L.] Crittenden, [Alexander M.] McCook, and [Thomas J.] Wood, the whole battlefield of Sunday was regained, that six batteries of Grant's were recovered and several of the enemy's taken, and that the rebels retreated and the greatest battle ever fought in America was won; and asking when the American people would consent to leave military matters to military men.

E.R. Eckley, Paducah, Kentucky. To Adjutant General C.P. Buckingham. Letter stating that the late desperate battle at Pittsburg Landing [Shiloh], which had filled the country with rejoicings and grief, was fraught with matters for reflection, that the most painful of which was the imputation upon the courage of Ohio troops, that one of the Ohio regiments was now at the wharf in Paducah, sent back in disgrace, that another Ohio regiment was proclaimed "cowards" in General [William T.] Sherman's report, that a third Ohio regiment was under bounds for want of courage, that "God knows" how many more were suffering from either just or unjust imputations, that it was enough to mortify the pride of the Ohio soldier, that he would not now either justify or condemn the conduct of the Ohio troops, that truth compelled him to say that throughout the whole war, Ohio had been shamefully treated by the administration, if not neglected by those of her own people whose positions gave opportunity and whose duty it was to protect her interests, that other states never refused an opportunity to bag the game after it had been run down by the Ohio soldiers, that in the late battle at Pittsburg, they had nearly forty regiments actively engaged in the field, and yet not one Ohio General who sympathized with Ohio soldiers, that it was true [William T.] Sherman was called an Ohio man, but he had no living sympathy with soldiers, that when the war was over, Sherman's connection with Ohio people would end, that Ohio regiments were commanded by Indiana[?] and Illinois Colonels who did not fail to make capital for their immediate commands at the expense of the Ohio regiments, that new and inexperienced regiments were placed in improper positions while places of less danger and more honor were reserved for their immediate commands, that in one instance a raw Ohio regiment, which had only been armed for two weeks, was placed in the front line of battle while the reserves, which were from Indiana[?] and Illinois, had been long in service, that he was not in the battle and could therefore speak freely about it, not having an axe to grind, that his convictions were that Ohio had been most wickedly and damnably treated by the administration in the officering of the army and disposition of the troops, that whether it could be remedied or not, or by what means, he was unable to divine, that he knew the Secretary of War [Edwin M. Stanton] well, that Stanton was a man of ability, but uncontrollable prejudices, and would not look outside of his "ancient" political friends, that they all knew that Governor [Salmon P.] Chase could not look to anybody other than those he could use for his future aspirations, that not belonging to either class, he had not written them, that unless Buckingham could suggest some plan by which justice could be done Ohio and Ohio troops, he presumed they would have to wait until every Illinois Captain was made a Brigadier and every Indianian had put on the star, and ere that, Buckingham would hear of alarming mutinies and extensive dissensions, that another such wholesale murder and unwarranted surprise as that of the late battle would start the grave questions of whether it was not better to end the Government than themselves and whether their soldiery were to be made a sacrifice to the neglect and wantonness of unfit commanders, that he arraigned no one in particular, but he repeated what had been uttered by four thousand mangled soldiers, i.e. their bitter regrets of the surprise that led to their melancholy condition, that their delegation in Congress amounted to the merest cipher in maintaining the interests of Ohio, and that when they reflected that Ohio, the third state in the Union, had not a single chairman of a standing committee in either branch, it was not only humiliating to Ohio's pride but left little hope of deliverance at their hands; asking why the press did not speak out, why the press was so shamefully silent, if the press was afraid of a little Government patronage, and if the press was traversing for the popular current; stating that the million gallant men now in the field would direct that current and woe be to him who attempted to stem it, that whether they could be relieved or not under the current administration was beyond his means of knowing, and that to Buckingham's good sense he submitted his reflections for solution; and requesting Buckingham's report of the officers of the Ohio forces.
