HNOtwithsianding the State Of

HNotwithstanding the State Of H.
linois has done so nobly in sustaining
the Government in this unholy rebel
lion--having in both requisitions more
than supplied her full quota Of men, she
is still actively going on with the good
work. We notice by the Chicago pa
pers that the much talked Of douglas
Brigade" e4O0 rank and file, is about
ready for the field, finely oficered, and
fully equipped. Also the "Yates
Phalanx," another magnificent Brigade
of 94OO strong, from the same city, is
nearly full, and with picked men too!
Originally these Brigades were intended
for single regiments, but in consequence
Of the number Of enlistments, and su-
perior excellence OF the men, Gen.
Hunter, with the consent Of the War
Department. organized them into Brig
ades. Good for the Sucker State.

Immediately on his return home, yes

in Kentucky, and the danger to which
the Union men and their property was
subjected, took prompt measures to al

The Home Guard companies, as far as

placed in condition for service all along
the river. There are several regiments
of Home Guards 10 the border counties,
but they lack discipline, and portions Of
them lack arms. Several sections OF
batteries, however, are pretty well pro-
yided with ammunition and other equip

~ General Cass. in recent CONVEX
sation declared "that although he had
always been opposed to abolition, he
believed there was no other way now
to end the present struggle permanently
and successfully. but by the emancipa-
tion Of the slaves. Without such an act
if we had peace to-day we should have
war tomorrow"
Without any comment on the above,
we commend it to the notice Of our
"peace party" friends, who are SO busy in
creating the impression that this war is
waged by the Republican party to free
"our niggers." II they can tell us,
how this war can be bonorably and sue
cessfully closed, aud slavery remain
untouched, we will give them credit for

embark below the town and attack them
