mon justice such bounty ought also to be
maid to the volunteers now in the field az
well as new ones, and bounty to both
would have involved an appropriation that
would nearly bankrupt the state-at least,
it would have been more than he could
without legislative authority, take the res.
possibility to offer. The Governor further
stated that the present call upon him was
for but regiments, and these he had no
doubt would be ready in ten days. Beyond
these. he had no assurance that any other
regiments would be accepted, and was
unadvised as to the course the Government
would take to raise the other 10000 men,
The committee. however, got the impression
that the Governor was not only decidedly
OF the opinion that they would be drafted,
but that he was strongly in favor of the
draft.
The report was accepted and the COM
mittee discharged
Mr.. Canon, from the committee to report
on the propriety of offering bounty for
enlistments, reported adversely to the
same. and the report was adopted. Mem
bers OF the commute, however, explained
that their assent to such o report was

CHICAGO INruDEScE-The Chicago papers
have got to calling Cook county Chicago
county," and, keeping on at their present
rate, we presume we shall soon have them
speaking of Illinois as the Estate of Chi.

effrontery to reproach La Sale county
with being backward in enlistments, when
La Sale, with half the population of Cook
county, has already more men in the

Estate of Chicago has heretofore been
able to buy or coax from her own and
surrounding counties to enlist This coun-
ty has credit on the Adjutant General
books for having sent 200 men to the
war; Cook county claims to have sent FIVE
regiments. and in the number includes
Mulligan's brigade, of which but one COM
pany was made up in Cook county to
three from this comfy; and of not one
of her other four regiments, were half the
men raised from Cook county Having
millions of money, her people have learned
to rely on it and spend it freely to buy q
cheap reputation for patriotism, hoping to
hide its Observation-Disclosures by gaudy
trappings and endless selfpuffery and

Gen. Buell,s Situation.

About the first seemingly authentic news
| we have had of the whereabouts of Gen
BIell's army since its departure from
Corinth, we get through q Chattan oo.a
dispatch to the Richmond Enquirer. TO
be sure Gen. Buell. himself has been heard
from at Huntsville in connection with the
charges against Mitchell and Turchin; but
nothing hes been published recently to
show what movements were in progress
by his command. A month ago or more
a dispatch stated that Gen Buell. expected
to be in Chattanooga on the 4th of July,
but since then the rebels have made alter
atoms in their plans, and some modifica-
tons of Buells programme were rendered
necessary by the late raids In Tennessee
The telegram to the Richmond Examiner
places Gen. Buell. at Tallahon,a, forty miles
west Of Stevenson His armyis represent
not permitted to know upon what ground
this observation is based, and therefore
don't sec it." Stevenson is thirty seven
miles west of Chattanooga.
1t is quite probable that q large rebel
force has Leen or will soon be concentrated
at Chattanooga General Magruder, lately
at Richmond, is supposed to be at this
point now, and it may be that some offen-
sive movement perhaps upon Nashville
lis in contemplation. We do not think
Buell's army is in peril, though it must be
said that the acknowledged skill and pru.
dence Of the commanding officer will be in
requisition to prevent tho enemy from
obtaining important advantages in Tenn
essee. There are so many railroad and
other bridges to guard, that we should not
be surprised to hear Gen. Buells effective
force is greatly diminished by the number

CHPrER TIE SECOND.

So much for the Board of Supervisors,
but now comes the strangest part of this
history. The County mass meeting on
Saturday (already alluded TOY had also ap-
pointed committee to visit the Governor
on the same subject entrusted to the COM
mittee of the Supervisors. The two COM
mitties agreed to proceed to Chicago on
Wednesday night in company. and suppo-
sition was that they would act in concert
But on arriving at Chicago. one committee
proceeded to the Sherman House and the
other to the fremont The committee of
the Supervisors happened to meet the
Governor in time to have hasty CONVEX
sation with him and got back to Ottawa
by the morning train, and they seized the
opportunity. So they had their talk and
run Then came the other committee,
ard were aston.shed to learn that their
colaborers had left; but nothing daunted,
they awaited the Governors leisure, and
also had an interview with him, and here
we give thar Terort- Place this by the
side of that made by the Committee of the
Supervisors, and it will certainly amaze
aay one that two intelligent COMMITTEES
could come to such opposite conclusions.
Read the report
To The People Of La Sale County:
The undersigned, your committee ap-
pointed to confer with his Excellency the
Governor, upon the subject of the EN-
bodiment of the quota of La Sale Co. to
ill the Presidents IL tcall of 100000 men,
viz: 500 uaen in one regiment, to be off,
cered from the line Of the regiment, when
recruited to the number aforesaid, and
the further subject of such voluntary en-
list4nent, if made in time, exempting La
Sale Co. from draft to fill her quota afore-
said, beg leave to report:
That on the 3Oth ult they proceeded to
Chicago, and made known 10 his Excel
lency the Governor, according to the best
of their ability, the wishes Of the people
Of La Sale CO. upon the subjects stated
above. and his Excellency was pleased
to reply:
That he had already completed arrange
ments for filling the nine regiments called
for by the War Department, as part OF the
2S 600 men, and therefore had no express
authority to say that he could receive
such additional regiment. if it should be
formed but he reminded your committee
that they could not but be aware that
the Government would undoubtedly
speedily want more than nice regiments
under the call referred to, and that, there
fore. there could be no doubt that il =
regiment was raised FROM L. Sale county
as proposed, it would nnqaestionably be
accepted.
And he added, that should the reei-
ment be raised as proposed, it would
afford him great pleasure to see that it
s.as differed from the line of the regi
men: by names to be proposed by the
recruits, provided the names presented
met his appreciation.
Upon the second question, his Excel
lepcy observed, that the power of drafting,
and mode Of executing it, rested with the
Tay Department. but he listened to the
kssssstion OF your COMMITTEES, that while
shE vas true. yet the War Department
woeld undoubtedly commit the execu-
ton Of this power 70 the Executives
of the ssgeral states. and In reply thereto
said that It was certainly true that justly

American affairs, Lord Palmerston spoke
against recognition or intervention at

Termination Of the war that could be an
