to tie field from this State with officers at
their head who have no military expert
ence whatever, while there are hundreds OF
gallant men in the old regiments who have
deserved promotion, and if placed at the
head of our noble boys would lead them
ever to victory. Whether Secretary Stan
ton or General Halleck is responsible for
that order is not so certain. The driving
of correspondents from the army lines is
not productive Of any good, while it is a
positive annoyance to the people. The
generalship that confines itself to such small
matters deserves, as it is receiving, the
ridicule of the rebel press.

BULLY FOR PosEY-We understand that
the good people of Poseyville are stirred
up to the very lowest depths of their patri-
otto hearts. Recruits are pouring in, and a
full company for the 9lss Regiment has
been nearly enlisted in that little village
alone. twenty-five men enlisted in the
last day or two and the cry is still they
come. The First Congressional District
will soon have her third regiment in the
field.
