ILLINoIs-FIRsT IN THE FIELD AGAIN.

The gallant sons OF this patriotic State Says
the Unon) upon the first call OF their country for
their services in The field, turned oul FOUR full
regiments Of twelve-month's volunteers, who have
nobly and proudly sustained the credit Of their
Stale in the bloody battles Of Buena Vista and
Cerro Gordo. Again call is made Tor another
regiment; and no sooner does the word go forth,
than eleven iull companies are made up officer
ed, equipped, and on their march to Alton, The
place of rendezvous. And not only this; but
EIoLT more companies are also ready, and lender
their services; but TOO LATE TO be received, the
regiment being full. 1t is stated as fact, by a
gentleman from Chicago in that Stale, that in
twelve hours after The call had reached that city,
and notice given, three full companies-lwo Of
infantry and one OF cavalry-were raised, or
ganized, and ready for the service.
The pIompness with which this call has been
met by this gallant and patriotic State has induced
the President to consent TO The raising OF another
regiment Of len companies OF infantry, and one
OF cavalry, whose destination will be Vera Cruz,
or the Brazos, TO reinforce the army in MEXICO
And there is no doubt but that The further call
now made upon their patriotism will be responded
10 with equal alacrity.
