Springfield, Aug. 2, 1852
To tie People Of Illinois:
Fellow CITIZENS: My attention has
been called, more particularly during the
past few weeks, to the sanitary condition
Of our soldiers in camps and hospitals
Although tie general health ofour army in
the sonth has very much improved since
last spripg, the sick and we'll are alike 10
need uf fresh vegetables, fra its, and those
articles Of food which cannot be obtained
in the states in which they are quartered,
buI,of which we at home have a great
abundance. The want of these necessary
articles is more especially aud painfully
felt by the soldiers confined in the hospit-
ais.
Our sanitary commissions have done and
are doing great and noble work. Their
deeds will shine forth In glorious contrast
with the irhumanities Of a rebellion more
wicked and caustless than any the world
has ever witnessed Sull the necessities Of
our Lrsse volunteers demand greater ef-
forts IN their behalf: and / turn aside, for
amoment, from the pressing duties of the
hour. 70 urge upon you 10 respond g. the
calls OF humanity. In the present excite
ment Of the call to arms, do not let us for
get the wunts Of cur brave citizen soldiers
already in the field, most Of whom have
uncomrhiningly endured suferings and
lrivatlons Of which we, in cur happy and
Ieaeeful homes. can have DO possible con-
ceptiOn. Let us, then, care for or broth
ers ia arms. Let US save them from those
fortunes and sufferiBgs of disease which
are more TO be dreaded than the perils Of
the battle field itself.
therefore appeal to one and all Of my
feilnweltizens to contribute Of their stores

Illinois Respond,ur.

The correspondence which We publish 10
tO-day's paper between Gov. Yates and the
authorities at Washington. shows that our
noble State is doing glorious work 10 fur
nishing men to crush out the rebellion =
On last Wednesday forty five thousand bad
been enrolled, and ere this time the num-
Der will foot Up to fifty thousand.
Thus, in the spsce of a few weeks. in the
busiest time of the year. Illinois has mar
shalled fifty thousand of her brave sons
who are now ready to take part 10 the bat
tie for the Union and the constitution.-
And her broad prairies are yet in blaze
Of patriotic excitement; and, if need be,
she can and will double the vast army al
ready sent out from her workshops, farms,
factories, and the various yocations and
fields of labor.
We are indeed proud os our State. Her
patriotism is equal to the emergency. She
is never lsggard when the country needs
her help. And Tough her commercial,
manufacturing and agricultural interests
be almost Frustrated by the drain upon her,
the Government at Washington will find
her at the head Of the list Of States in the
way furnishing the sinews of war.
The order of the Secretary of War that
draft shall take place on Wednesday the
third day of September, should not apply
To Illinois Though the orderis perempto
ry, yet we have hope that the Government
will at least allow Illinois to proceed in her
own way to raise her quota. This can be
done, if it has not been done already. If
the opportunity be given, the men will be
voluntarily furnished, and no draft with
Its harsh features, its invasions of families
its disturbance of the business of every town
and neighborhood, will be necessary.
Certainly We can see NJ justice or policy
in resortiug to CONSUMPTION when loyal
and patriotic people are responding with
prOmptness to the calls of the Govern
J ment
Without intending to fud fault or to
| complain. We nevertheless must express it
as our opinion that tbs voluntary system is
most consistent with the spirit Of tie con.
stitution and draft should not be enforced
unless the exigencies Of the times absolute
ly demand it.
The Willingness and alacrity with which
Illinois is responding to the demands of
kka 4. -
pride to every patriotic and loyal citizen of
OF the State, should most certainly be duly
acknowledge by the authorities at Wash
ington. Let US have no CONSUMPTION in H.
linOis, if our quota can be filed by voun-
tee-ing.
