The utter want of organization IN the
militia Of Illinois, outside Of these who
have gone into the volunteer service, is as
remarkable as inexcusable~ We are not
prophets of evil; but suppose that fre'
mont: is beaten at Lexington by the large
amy that he is to encounter.- whist are
the 5let and most obvious consequences of
the defeat? St. Lcuis falls almost without
a struggle inao the enemy's hands, and We
of this State will be compelled to.occupy
ourselves with the defence Of our own
soil. VIII any one tel US how ne are to !
make head against any considerable in
vaaing force acting from St Loris as the
base of operations? There are not more
probably than fifty military companies in
the State with full ranks, and perhaps not
half that number armed. There is not a
battery of artil1ery, a ball. cartridge, nor q
cavalry carbine in the State unless at
Cairo;. there are not five hundred muskets
et which an enemy should be beafraid; there
is not 3 tent, there is no camp equipage,
there is not d baggage wagon. The land
is barren Of everything save men, and they
have no training nor organization. What,
then, would prevent the march OF col
umn from St. Louis to Centralia, the de-
str1ction Of the Illinois Central Railroad
and the cutting off Of our forces in and
around Cairo? What, indeed, would pre-
vent the burning Of Peoria, Pekin, Quincy,
Rock Island, by steamboat expeditions? :?
Or what means could we adopt to make
Springfield and Chicago safe?
We contemplate possibilities, and ask
fer them the attention Of those who would
avert their realization. What shall be
done? Why, let the young men and old
men organize and drill. Arms are not be

demand their use. Guns ordered from
