Pictures THAT ARE PIcTUREs-Calling at
friend Porters picture gallery the other
day, we saw some of the finest photographs
of distinguished men we had ever seen
produced In this city. The features of eve

perpetuated by at least one good likeness,

such things than at Porters

of their movements. On Wednesday we
were mustered in a regiment, and on
Thursday elected Hon. W. Ii L. Wallace,
of Ottawa, Colonel, J. Warren Filters, Lieut..

There are three companies in the regiment
from La Sale county, the two Ottawa COM

On Sunday morning we received orders
to be in readiness to march at o'clock
for Villa Ridge, II miles north OF Cairo,
which order was received with loud cheers
bv the soldiers, although they were sup
! piled with good quarters and we'll cared
| for at Camp Yates yet they were tired OF
| inactivity, and longed to be where they
could hear of the enemy occasionally. Ac-
cordincly at o'clok the regiment was
ready to march, and we left Camp Yates

weather than we had had in Springfield;
which has been rather cold for the past

soon after we started, and continued till
we were within few miles of the Camp,

could not have been found in the state of

The boys are all in fine spirits, and seem
to be anxious to see a secesstOner. Perhaps,
if necessary, the eleventh regiment of Hi

would do credit to any regiment in the
country.

The WEArHER-Our prediction in the
Free Trader, some time since. that this
would be wet season, has thus far been
literally fulfilled, there having fallen some
5 inches of rain last month, and more
than an inch and half this month, SO far,
which is about an inch more than fell
during the entire months of January, Feb
ruary, March and April, 1861
Considering also, that this season is
nearly thirty days later than last, our
farmer friends will see the absolute neces-
sity for improving their time to the utmost
in getting in their corn, or else Jack Frost
will be apt to play the dickens with their
crops next Fall
By the way, what is the Agricultural
Society doing?
notwithstanding the war, the agricultu-
raj and mechanical interests must not be
neglected. We hope to see a rousing Fair
next Fall, whether the rebels get their
just deserts by that time or not
WORD TO EMpLoYERs-We find, on en-
quiry, that quite number of mechanics,
clerks, &c, who left their situations to
join the volunteer companies organized in
this city but which have not been accep-
tad, and are not likely to be for some time,
are now out of employment. 1t is hard
that men thus willing 10 make sacrifices
for their country, should be sacrificed in
turn. Our suggestion would be that, in
simple justice, these men should be res
tored to their situations, and others who
have taken tLeir places be asked to shift
for themselves.

took him to the station house. On examining the
basket it was found to contain two hams, an as
