Correspondence Chicago Tribune.
MADISON, Oct. % In your issue of the 2lst
Won say that Wisconsin has no leFs than ten
skeleton regiments / am at loss to conceive
where You get your information Wisconsin
has not a stngie skeleton Regiment; in the strict
est sense . that term, the system adopted by
the military authorities does not admit of it -
Our companies are nearly ali filled TO the II lnl-
mum, and many of them above the maximum,
and with one exception the regiments in camp
are above the minimum, and are nearly ready
to march. The LIST and 10th go this week, and
do also three companies of artillery. The 9Th
and / lth will be sen; oft next week, both Ofthem
being filled nearly to the maximum. The other
four artillery companies now i'll camp will be
ready TO moe next week also. The Rock coGn-
ty regiment, the 18Th, is there fure the only one
which has any resemblance to u Skeleton regl-
ment," as stated III your editorials II even is
OF such character as TO prove rather solid
Skeleton" Tor it has nearly 600 men i'll camp,
and now that Col. Maoney has taken up his
quarters with the regiment, it is fair to
hope that IT TOO will refute our statement that
Wisconsin has ten "skelrton regiments" The
18th Is not yet called into camp. When it Is
called the companies will all be above The MIN
imum The l4th will be i'll the same condition.
The 10TH or Scandinavian regiment Is now
progressing, and although two weeks only have
elapsed, over SUI men ae already enlisted
The 10th has just been ofticered, aud we have
companies enough reported tull to complete the
regiment nearly to maximum. The 18th or Irish
regiment is III the same state of progress a. the
18th, and recruiting officers are busy among the
sons # the Green Isle," and when called lnto
camp will at once place the IRISH Brigade III
lighting order.
/ have gwen you the condition of our regi-
melts III infantry, and desire 20 say that If such
j. the present conditions of the Wisconsin "skee-
TOM regiments, what will they be when you will
consent to call them jul
Seven of Ghe ten companies OF artillery are
f Ii and mustered into the U. s. service and
ready to march. The other three accepted will
soon be i'll Camp.
The Ist Regiment of cavalry (DanieIs) will
.oon he filled 10 300 men. Col. Washbu. lie,
of the 2nd Regiment, is actively engaged Iii get
ting his regiment together, and Ex-Gov. Bar.
stow IS also engaged i'll similar labor, under
Fremonts authority.
The quota Of Wisconsin, is 90, 700. The regi-
ments now on the taps will number ~ lUo
men, making 2, 100 more than her quota
We desire ..outsiders" to understand that we
do not send out reg inert u"l"ss 1t Is complete.
In addition to the above and Ill conclusion
also. l wish to say that Wisconsin, has furnish
ed seve,a al hundred soldiers to "Outslde" re-
CT uitlng Offices and / also wish to say /" regard
to the inslnuaton in youI paper OF te" days
since, that respect o enIisting in other states
Wisconsin lis more sinned against than SIN
ming" We regret exceedingly that our Bad
ger Boys" should be seduce into joining reg'-
ments outside ofthe Safe as they therefore for
felt the claim they might otherwise ENJOY to The
benefit of the State and the many at entions
which our troops secure by the benevoence ana
gond heart of our respected Governor. :,
