Payment of the County Bountfes

Payment OF the County B0uutfeg.
The number Of recruits sworn in on Sstur- |
day was considerably larger tlmn for the two |
prsvious days. In fact, there seems to be q /
perfect mania for enlisting, and noble rivalry
exists among the various companies in their |
race for the honor Of filling up first. The re-
crnits are from the very bone aHd sineF OF the |
city, their numbers augmented by the sturdy |
farmers from the country. Every mail brings |
in the most cheering assurances, and Indicates |
that the country as well as the cityis all aglow !
with the fires Of patriotism. We have no |
hesitation In saying that Illinois will turn out |
an army that in quantity and quality will carry
off the palm from the ether States. This is
as it should be. Keep the ball rolling. Garry
encouragement to our brave boys now in the
field, and be with them to share in their tri-
umpbs. They have nobly sustained the name
and fame Of Illinois. Our new regiments,
tower Of strength, will march to still more
glorious triumphs and fesher conquests-
Thus far the Supervisors have issued boun-
ties to ], ,040 volunteers. With very few ex-
ceptions the men ere such as will add to the
already high reputation Of the prairie State;

them.
Out Of tho 1,o40 paid, 294 have allotted
something to either wife, father, mother,
sister, OF to themselves, in the latter case to
be retained by some one chosen for them
I until they may return. Tins average OF the
! allotment is about nine dollars to each family,
ard it strikes us is means Of saving money
