Especial Correspondence Of the Chicago Tibune.1
SPRINGFIELD, Jzly Is, 1861.
Recruiting is making the most satisfactory
progress throughout the State. The three
months regiments are aow fdll, the last
one Of which will be mustered In, armed and
equipped at To1ono on Thursday next. Thoir
destination is Of course unknown to the state
officers. Two hundred and thirty companies
have been authorized to be r4ised, nearly all
Of which IRE rapidly filling up.
The new eystem Of recruiting is working
well and is saving the governor and adjutant
general no small amount Of labor. 4 half
day spent in the Office Of the adjutant general
is sufficient to show, that some with the
plain instructions from that office, very many
persons do not understand them.
These provisions are SO simple that Will
condense them for the benefit Of those inter-
ested In getting up companies. No authority
Ia granted to raise regiments, and Of course
nothing can be done in regard to staff officers
until The ten companies are fully mustered In,
thus saving q world or perplenty. Persons
wishing tor staff appointments must look
may obtain their positions On the final mus
terlng in. A person appl5 Ing. for authority
to raise accompany can either himself or some
other person receive mastering leutenant's
commission TO enable him to muster In the
men as enlisted. These must report every
ten days and have the company full within
thirty days, or he is liable to have his man
consolidated with some other company.
Forty.te men will entitle the company to
1he first lieutenant. This recruiting lieutenant,
is oply for the purpose Of filing up the COM
papy, and the person may be appointed cap
tain or one Of the ieutenants as the case may
be- If he fails in raising men, he will at least
find himself 8 private, in some organized
company soon after the expiration OF the
thirty days. By this plan regiments VII! be
| at once completed and sent into the field, thus
| preventing large number Of skeleton rsgf.
Of making some particular man colonel o.
! other staff officer. The service has alreadJ
suffered too much in this way, and the gov
ernor is not disposed to any longer permit IT
| he is for striking not only straight, but to-
| hard blows that will hurt the rebels. What
ever other States may do this State will soo1
have her quota Of the last call ready for tn
field. --.
Recruiting is also actively going Oh for tn
regiments In the field, but is not making q
rapid progress as that OF the new regfments
PROMOTIONS.
These are made In the staff by grade, unles
there are good reasons to the contrary, an

bers, thus Offering premium in the chanc
Of promotion to every person In the compan
Who will distinguish himself.
Every person who is desIrous Of raising
part or ali Of company is at once granite
facilities for 60 doing, limited to thirty day
There is no question that al Will De accepte
The new Energy that is being infnsed In
military matters is rapidly becoming mar
fest, and the rebels may Us well begin to Loo
f#r hard blows that may hurt somebody.
