GEKEsEO, July 81, 1852.
Editors Chicago Tribune:
In connection with the subject Of speedily
securing the men which our government so
much needs Tor the vigorous prosecution Of
the war, an idea has occurred to me, which
eeems worthy Of consideration. As I have
not seen anything Of the kind suggested in
}our paper, I viii present it to your notice,
and if you think well Of it, you can Use the
powerful influence Of your journal to secure
It's adoption. We all know the difficulty Of
securing the necessary number Of Men under
The present recruiting system, and one reason
why all do not take hold more earnestly Of
this work is, the feeling that do as much as
We may, even raising our full quota, we do
not know hut that owing to a deficiency in
othsr parts OF the State, drafting may have
to be IesoFted To, and we be Obliged still to
btsr an equal shire of that burden with SEC
tious thai may be less liberal and patrioIic :;
hut It the quota of each county under the cali
ot the president could be assigned to it, Civ
irg it, ciliztns thirty to sixty days to make it
up by volunteering, with the guarantee that If
| the tuil humber is furnished, That county shall
| he exempt from draft under the present cal,
| I believe there is not shadow Of DOUBT but
| that every county in the State, would, within
| that lime, f111.i=h their full quota without a
| draIr- Every one with whom have spoken,
bee Ills to have taken the same view Of the
n,at'er. As an instance Of the working IF 8

FOREIGN CORRESPONDENTS
He who attaches any Importance to
the criticisms OF the foreign CORES
pondents Of the American newspaper
press in regard to the matter Of
Intervention in the American war, must be
less acquainted than we are with the disre-
putable tricks Of the leading journals in
which the wise predictions Of these cores
pondents appear It unquestionably true
that half, and, perhaps, more Of the pre-
tended foreign letters which appear in the
New York Herald, are purely bogus
made from the foreign mails on the arrival
Of steamer, in the Herald Office, by the
attaches Of that establishment, in accord
ance with the instructions which are sent
up from the editorial rooms. And these
instructions vary with the policy Of the
paper for the moment, and to suit the
views Of its conductor. These facts are so
well known to the editorial profession in
New York that they have ceased to excite
remark. But, at this time, when this ms
chlnery is being used for base and unpatri-
otic purposes it is well enough for Western
men, at least, to understand how foreign
correspondence is too frequently managed

What Gen. Wool Is Doing.


From the Baltimore American. 2sth.l
In the division Of the vast military service
OF our government, the territory and respon-
sibilities embraced in the middle department,
under Major General John E. Wool, are
among the most extended and important. Be-
sides The eutire State Of II land, Gn:luding
the proposed camp OF instructina) and tue
States north oft, large portion of Northern
aud Northwestern Virginia b Is recently been
added 10 The department.. It is Understood
that the object in making this addition, hos
been chiefly to put the protection OF the Bal
timore and 0hio railroad under one general
command. The security Of this line of com
1nunlearlon has proven uot only of value to
the government itself In Its varied military
operations, but the people Of Maryland aud
thr loyal portions Of Virginia, as we'll as of the
whole West, fud it to be more than ever an
Indispensable avenue Of Intercourse.
Ne learn that Gen, Wool has just returned
from an inspection trip Of several d d.ys. N ,de

ruad between Baltimore and the mountains.
Accompanied by several members OF h,s st af,
the general made thorough examination OF
tie country between the M3nocacy River and
the Great Back Bone Mountain, west Of Gun
bt1land. At Harper's Ferry, Martlnsburg,

grand reviews we're held. while at many In
termediate points Of minor Importance the
various detacbmtnts we're Inspected, and their
