cruits were sent to st. Louis. They we're in
tended for Captain Constable; artillery, Cap

Colonies Marshalrs, Wright's, Morton's and
Murrells regiments. The men were from
the central part of the State and were en-.
Enthusiastically happy.
COLONEL KENNETT's REGIMENT.
This regiment of cavalry, which hereto.
fore has been known as the Third Regi-
ment, has been changed TO the Fourth, under
General Fremont. The order for the change
came from Rodney Mason, Assistant Adin-
tantGeneral of Ohio. twenty horses have
been. sent to Camp Gurley for the use of the
men in the Mounted Trooper" drill.
Eighty three men were added yesterday to
the number now in camp. As this is the
last cavalry regiment to be raised here, we
suppose it will not be long before we will be
able so chronicle its completion. Uniforms
will. be delivered to the regiment in part this
week.
THE WAY TO DO IT.
We like the way they conduct the recruit
ing business down in Southern Illinois.
They call the people together in mass
meeting, able speakers make short, patriotic
addresses, and the muster-roll is then pre-
sented, and all who are ready and willing to
enlist for the war to put down the rebellion
against the Government and its laws are in
vited to sign their names.
In this way whole companies are some
times enlisted in one evening, and q reQi.
ment is made up in almost no time.
MILITARY MEETING AT LocKLANp,
A meeting will be held at Locklaud TO-
morrow evening, to be addressed by judge
johnson and W. B. Probasco, ESQ. The
general object is to arouse the people of that
vicinity to active exertions in the recruiting
service, and the especial aim is to fill up the
company of Captain g. W. French, who
still wants few men to make up his COM
plement.
FROM PITTsBURG.
Some time since the Government ordered
the manufacture OF large number of thir-
teen-inch mortars, of extraordinary size and
weight. Some Of these have been cast. bnt
there will be some alteration in the model
before the work is completed. Those cast
are monstrous pieces of iron, and look as
though no amount of charge of powder
would burst them.
FROM HIGHLAND COUNTY.
Captain Parker will 90 into quarters to.
day at Camp Dennison. He halls from the
vicinity OF New Lexington, Highland
County, and brings with him a full comple-
ment of men. 1t is understood that he con-
templates joining the second Piatt regiment
