ring that year l46,749 citizens were enrolled--ot
whom, 1S2, ESQ were designated as Infantry; 1869
as artillery and 5,448 as Cavray. The infantry
formed fifty two Brigades, divided into one hundred
and five Regiments-possessed three bundled and
twenty four standards-and was commanded BY
twenty four Major Generals, and forty-six Briga-
diers. The Artillery formed FIVE Brgades, divided
Into twenty Regiments-with seventy brass and
Ithirytwo iron field pieces, one hundred carriages,
and forty eight colours commanded by one Major
General, and five Brigadiers. There were -FOUR
Brigades of Cavalry, divided into seventeen regi-
Imenls-with one Major General and four Briga'
ldiers.-The numerous exempts recognized by the
Militia Laws, and the difficulty which exists OF as
pertaining and enrolling the actual number liable TO

A LOBBY MEMBER,
To q " Lobby Member. :"

SIR--I have observed your address to
me IN the Illinois Intelligencer OF the
18th of June last, and regret that the
duty | owe myself and friends compels
me to notice it. This is unquesti,na-
bly, the produ ton of one of that party,
who have espoused the cause OF slapery
and who wish to tarnish tie character
of our republican state, by Introducing
into it the most irrehu6tican OF all prln-
Ciples-a principle which will not bear
the light of reason, and whose advocates
shroud emsclves (as you have done in
this instance) from pubic scrutiny, and
assassin like, hurl their slanderois shafts
from their hiding places, at those they
dare NJ. meet in open d'y, on rational
grounds. am justified in these asser-
tons by the concealed stand you have
taken, and by your Withholding your
proper name when addressing me by
mine.
Had you given your real name, 1t
would probably have relieved me from
noticing you at all, and at all events from
medding with others. There were
some persons who attended the legisla-
ture last winter, as lobby members, who
were gentIemen-buty your curiosity and
astonishmen, being SO peculiarly excited
by the singutarity of my manners and
my ertraordnary talents, leaves me
fairly to suppose that you are associated
with that class of politicians, to whom, a
course OF moral recttude, OF Political
virtue and integrity Is truly NOVELTY
and talents emanating from true rehud-
Acan heart something really ExTRAoR-
BINARY
This singularity Of manners, and these
extraordinary talents of mine, you set
forth as the cause OF your peculiar sur
prize at my conduct in relation to tie
compensation OF the members OF the L.
gislature. II your ideas can, for

patrons in Illinois. |, was handed to
us some months ago, but in consequence
OF an accident it has not been in our
power to give il a place before.
From the Illinois hltelHgmcer.l
Mr.. Daniel Parker,
SIR-I spent part of my time last winter
in Vandalia while the Legislature was in ses-
sion, and having heard much said about your
singularity of manners and extraordinary ta-
LENS, took the opportunity OF frequently
placing myself III your company, IN order to
hear some of the wisdom that might drop
from your lips. found you TO be a man that
would converse freely on all subjects that
were introduced by any person in company
where YOU might chance 10 be. And when
the subject of the wages of the members OF the
Legislature was occasionally Introduced, you
appeared 10 be warmly opposed TO high wages,
and frequently said, that you thought that
three dollars and fifty cents or four do ars per
day, was as much AS the members ought to
take for their services; which thought was
q very economical calculation, and that you
must have the good of the country at heart.
But, to my surprize, by examining the Jour-
mails, find that you actually did vote for SeOen
dollars per dag, and seven dollars tor every
twenty miles in going 10, and returning from
the seat of government.-i have read your
public address to the Baptist society, and find
you are great opposer to the plan Of raising
money by public contribution for the purpose
OF hiring preachers 20 go out and preach the
gospel; for YOU say, that &C 1vaene1'er rce Amply
TO am source for help, ii brores tbat 'oof at
aiat as a superior source" Therefore | was not
a little surprized to hear that you nai joined
with the minority of the Legislature, after the
question Of convention had been referred to
the people and cpntributal yourself, out Of
your seUen doN.1r f3Ha fifty dollars; which to-
gether with what The res Of the minority, and
same other contributions made SUN Of near
one Thousand i9Rcrs, winch was placed in the
hands OF Il committee, for the purpose OF
hiring or in other words bribing, printer to
print exclusively against a convention; which,
according to your own words, YOU looked at
your money as a "sRber1or Source" through
winch YOU would carry Your point against the
convention; and had more confidence it, or
in the means you could obtain b, it, than you
had i'll the judgment otthe people, or the JUS
tce Of the cause YOU had esponsel And as
sure, you, sir, that you would have been the
last man | should have expected would have
sought for the AID of a Mrefag, either in po-
litcal or religious contest, when YOU know
that the scriptures say that the hireAYg will
