Correspondence Of the Chicago Tribune1 i
SPRINGFIELD, Sept. 9. 1862.
The governor vas engaged up to late hour !
last night in preparing his proclamation call
ing cut the militia. It is anlistake to suppose |
that Gov. Yates has not determined upon |
doirg this for some time past. As early as
the 23d of last month he issued orders for the |
enrolment Of the militia Of the State, and the
assessors of the various counties have since
been engaged upon 1t. 1t WAS necessary for
this TO be done In order thAt any effective Or
ganization Of the militia could be perfected.
You cannot call out the militia Of the State
until you know who are liable to military duty
and who a1e not. This calling out the people
e,, n'as<s as has been done in Pennsylvania by
Gov. Curtin, really amounts to little OF no.
thing. Another thing, the governor was fear
full that II he organized the militia in the
midst Of volunteering, great many persons
would take refuge in it as means OF escaping
other military service. Now that volunteering
no longer intertereB, the enrolment OF the
militia will be proceeded with as rapidly as
possible. IN the meantime the governor has
not been idle in providing for the defense of
lIE GtAEE aEd41ct 4ASaAIla3 VI HULL LAC dl-
tempts of traitors at home to sid and comfort
the rebels abroad. He has placed 1000 armed
men at shawneetown, and is having barracks
erected at Anna, ShR~neeto@n, Chester, Quiu-
| cy and Warsaw. He has also ordered 1000
aimed men to Alton. He has, besides, written
| 10 the general government for permission TO
! allow these troops to remain in their present
positions until the militia shall be raised and
| embodied.
Yesterday, Gen. Singleton, Of Quincy, had
| long Interview with Governor Yates. and
the force, portion Of which will probably
be adopted.
II paeslng, might 6ay that the Democratic
o1gsns continue 10 pooh-pooh the idea Of
their bling any organized societies OF persons
in this State for the purpose of resisting the
general and State governments. They call
lnudly for The punishment Of such perEous,
&c. Now, it is easy for these fellows to talk
III this way; but when men are banded to-
gether and sworn to secrecy, even to the
icngth Of perjurirg themselves, it 10 hard to
bring them to justice. In the Know Nothing
times how hard it was to prove the existence
Of such o society, yet no one doubts that it
did exist, and was of the most formidable
character. Yesterday, saw an appeal from
tie council Of an important town in the
southern part Of the State for help against
bands Of marauders, who were burning and
destroy lug their property, also for help against
q secret Organization which, the volunteers
having all gone, threatened to consrul the
eut!re county.
