ApJUrAHT GEaERAL's ORDER, No. 1.-The LIN
wood arrived at our landing on Yesterday, brought
the Nashville Banner Of the 9th, containing an
order OF The Adjutant General Turner of the 25th,
tone day subsequent to the date Of the proclamation
OF the goyernorO requiring the volunteers Of the
several divisions to "march forthwith TO the places
OF rendezvous as designated In said proclamation

"The infantry troops from The 4th division (west-
ern dstrct) after being notified by the major gen
eral Of their selection will repair 10 Memphis i'm

ILLINOIS.
The requiaiiion upon tho gssasnar OF Illinois Is
rapidly filing up. II the movement eontlues with
out check four weeks will suffice to raise force
adequate 10 the armed occupation OF New Mexico
and California. Roll along that ball.
General Wilcox, Of Palmyra, proposes to raise
500 mounted riAemen. He is an able officer.
General James Semple, Of Madison county, has
issued his proclamation for volunteers. A large
meeting was held al Edwsrdsyille, on Thursday
last for the purpose of encouraging volunteers TO
come forward.
The Alton Telegraph says: Judge Shields is on
his way from Washington 10 Illinois, for the pur-
pose Of joining the volunteers in the campaign
against Mexico.
An honor most richly deserved and well bestow-
ed Is the appointment of J. b. Backinstos, lately
the sheriff OF Hancock county, ILL.,, to the post Of
captain in the new rife regiment authorized by Con-
gress. The conduct of this man in the Mormon
troubles was most heroic, and one who could thus
uphold the laws Of his State, will well defend the
frontier of the nation.
The movements of Colonel Kearney are of intense
lnterestin this region when many boys are Itch
ing TO get into addle, and we copy the annexed
information Of his movements from the st. Louis
Republican:
"Colonel Kearney, with one hundred and ifty
Dragons, were taken on board the steamer ANA
ranth, AT Fort Leavenworth on her last trip up, and
proceeded TO Fort Kearney, on Table creek, a new
fort established about fifteen miles below Council
Bluffs. Above Weston, on her way up, the boat
struck snag, which carried away the guard unde
the cook house, and the whole of its contents were
lost in the river which accident caused great deal
Of Inconvenience, as the cooking for the whole
pany on board had to be done with small stove on
the sfer deck, ...
Colonel Kearney returned on the Amaranth to
Fort Leayenworth, where ho first heard of the or
der If ha prea LIANT for fha
Mexico, The dragons which Colonel Kearney
took with him were left at the site Of the new fort
General Brooke, commander of this division, went
up to the site Of the fort in the Amaranth and
returned TO the city yesterday evening We are I'M
able to learn at what time Colonel Kearney will
move on the expedition TO which he has been or
dered by the government.
"We understand that number OF Santa Fe ira
ders, who had proceeded short distance on their
route, had halted and awaiting the instructions
Of Colonel Kearney before they proceeded further"
The Hon. Jefferson Davis, member of Congress
from Mississippi, has written letter to the Vicks-
burg Sentinel, offering to take command Of reg-
ment of volunteers for the Mexican war.
