rspecial Correspondence Of the Chicago Trlbuno.l
MADISON, Wis, May II, 1851.
The First Regiment from Wisconsin, at MIL |
Waukce has been mustered into the United |
States service for three months. The State nu- |
tLorities have been officially notified that two
other regiments will be accepted for three |
years or the war. The companies comprising
the Second Regiment, rerdez7oused here, Ill
volunteered for tho war, except the Belolt
company, whose failure to do SO arose not
from any unwiliirgncss on the part Of mjof-
ity Of the members, but from 1nlsundersta.,d-
lng between tho Colonel aud their Captain,
anG anticipated difficulty in filing mp tho
ranks About 500 Of the men from compan-
les were sworn in yesterday. Very many OF
those who lad volunteered for three months,
either they could not arrange their basin ess
or the care ef their families, because they did
not wish to interrupt their studies, and some
fearing the oath would hold them to Eerve in
garrieons till threo years expired If the war
ended sooner, or for other reasons involving
| no lack of patriotism, were unwilling to go IN
for the war. Their places will be readily filled.
New instructions from Washington, received
| to-day, will neccssitate very material change
In the organization Of the companies and reg
imcnts which have volunteered In this State,
increasing the number both Of men and Off
cere, and prescribing newrules for the appoint
ane--@ nf some oiicere. These new arrange
mcnts causcu{n E.t. ueas of Ln.rA s...a o~A4.e
dissatisfaction. They will probably involve
the consolidation of two companies in come
cases. Forty.ssyeo companies hnve now vol.
unteered for the war.
