The HANKS

Illinois and Wisconsin banks have near
ly all failed. Indeed, if the war goes on,
we do not believe there will be Il single sol
vent bank in the country in twelve months.
The Eastern banks may keep up for time,
bat they cannot resist the pressure that
will be brought upon them. A protracted
war will destroy all the banks. and the PEG.
pie will have 10 depend upon gold and sill
yer for Il circulating medium. Therefore,
we advise every man TO be cautious about
resting or going to sleep with paper money
in his pocket; for he knows not the day M
the hour when it will not lie worth the pa
per on which it is printed. Every man
who has any paper money should pay his
debts If he owes any, or invest it in proper
ty, or deposit it in safe bank.

HON. owen Loveioy.

This gentleman is said to be really anx-
ious to serve his country, providing he can
be appointed Colonel Of a regiment Of sol
diers. lie is not willing to inlist in the
ranks as a common soldier, nor indeed to
accept Of any position short Of that of
Colonel.
1t is said be was exceedingly anxious to
be elected Colonel Of the Joliet regiment.
We know he was here Cor several DAYS
and seemed 10 be very busy amongst the
soldiers. There was quite a gathering Of
postmasters here, for what cause we knew
not unless it were to electioneer for Owen
Lovejny. One thing is certain, that as
soon as the election was over and it was
announced that Lovely was not elected
Colonel, he and his postmasters suddenly
disappeared from amongst us. IL is very
evident that our patriotic volunteers have
a very poor opinion of Oven, lie Gid not
appear to meet with any favor at Camp
Goodell. The officers and men appeared
( to DO unanimous in enc thing at least
They were all opposed to electing Lovejoy
to the command Of their regiment II was
in vain that he begged and threatened
The feeling against him was too strong &c
be overcome.
Now it is remarkable that Loveioy
should become SO unpopu ar in 50 short {
time. Six months ago he carried thit
Congressional district by nearly twelv,
thousand majority over his DsmdErati,
competitor. lie could not carry the vote
of a COrporal's guard at the regrmenta
election last Wednesday, in a regimen
made up in the district shat gave him sucl
a rousing vote last fall. Either Loveio,
has fallen rapidly in the opinion of his Re
publican friends, or the Democrats have
vast preponderanee in the regiment
The principal reason assigned by tn
soldiers why they were opposed to the ele,
ton Of Owen Lovejoy was that he smelt {
wool too strongly. Poor Owen, he want
to fight and they won't let him, or his Can
adam friends either. Perhaps he may b
able to prevail on Old Abe to accept tn
services Of the niger regiment from Chi
cage In that case Owen might be electe
Colonel. Give him the command of reg
ment Of darkies and he would be OF HON

ReglnrentaI EIection.

The election of regimental officers at
Camp Goodell last Wednesday was quite
an exciting affair. There was considerable
competition between candidates for the va
rious Offices. Upon couhting the votes of
the different companies, it was found that
c. G. Marsh was elected Colonel William
Erwin, Lieutenant Colonel, and j. W.
Goodwin. Major.
The result of the election was apparently
satisfactory to the regiment.
The selection of c. c. Marsh as Colonel
was an excellent one. He is in the prime
Of life and possesses all the elements re-
qusite for u successful military commander.
The proficiency OF the Chicago Light
Guards, of which splendid company he was
Captain. in military drill. is evidence that
he possesses military science Of no ordinary
grade. Besides he was one of the first to
offer his services to the State under the
proclamation Of our Executive. He re.
pared to Springfield and was Immediately
appointed to the command Of Camp Yates
which position he filled successfully unit
ordered to take charge of Camp Goodell.-
! If We may judge of Col. Marsh from biz
antecedents, reputation. and movements
since the present war commenced, he is +
fit man to be placed at the head Of tht
Joliet regiment.
We have spoken of the qualifications 0
the gallant Erwin heretofore His election
as Lieutenant Colonel Of the regiment i
hailed with delight, not only by the sol
diors themselves, but by the people Of tb
whole district.
There were several candidates for Major
but j. w. Goodwin, first Lieutenant q
Capt Bartlesun's company, distanced Their
all. lie is a noble appearing officer an
appears to understand TIE rules Of cam
discipline perfectly. lie has been an o
fcer in the regular army for several year,
and is just the sort of mar needed in reg
ment of undiciplined volunteers. If Ma
jOr Goodwin does not make Que of the mo,
efficient and popular cficers in the regimen
we shall be mistaken.

The Game

The Republican leaders are a cunning
set Of fellows. Their most common way
to silence their opponents, nova days, is to
play the bluff game, which in too many in
stances has been successful. But some>
times when men are in positions to watch
their actions clrsely and do them great
damage by exposing their corruption and
decentralization, they try the virtue Of fa-
vOritism. We have had several cases Of
this buying policy in this State recently
A well known editor in Chicago was given
good municipal Office by the legislature
to seal his lips. And at the late extra ses,
sion c Ii. Lamphier, the editor Of the
State Register, was given an important po-
sition, but we doubt very much whether
it will make a Republicans Of Mr.. Lamphier
or prevent him exposing the villainies of
the Sttts h u'e clique Iithere ever was
time when the Democratic organ published
at nur State capital should be fearless in
its dealings with those officials who specu-
late with the peoples money, it is the
present.

Corporations have no snuIs

1t is an old axiom that Corporations
have no souls"
And the truthfulress of this axiom has
been attested by the conduct of the differ
ent railroad companies during the past
week.
In the fore part Of the week they paid off
their employees in what is denominated
stump tail currency" and on Friday, as
soon as their payments had been completed,
orders were sent to all the Offices and sta
tons to receive no more such CURRENCY
The consequences was, that the thousands
of dollars i'll the hands Of the laborers was
rendered almost worthless There can be
no doubt but that this swindle was pre-
meditated on the part of the railroad COM
panies. A more damnabe outrage YVES
never perpetrated upon the people Ard
if restitution be not made soon to the in
disnant men, we would not guarantee the
safety Of railroad property. The corpora
tions must remember that these are war
times.
