FROM SPRINGFIELD,
Illinois and Her Efforts in
the War,

Especial Dispatch to the Chicago Tribunc.1

SPRINGFIELD, May g, 1863
Col O1kes has ascertained the number, Of
troops Under the last two calls which have |
been raised in this State, commencing at the |
I'D regiment. It shows an excess Of about |
6,ee0 men over our quota This, added to
1900 excess under previous calls, makes
total excess Of about 2, 900. .
The figures we're obtained from the Adju !
tant Generals Office, in which complete en-
rollment Of the State had already been made. |
Of the excess Of the last two calls, the 18th
District furnished thirty per cent. On former
calls the excess has been with the more North
ern Districts. The whole exccss Is to be
finally credited to the State-
With Illinois soldiers in Missouri regiments
The c.cess would be 81 ,00o Col. Oakes has
sent on his tables to Washington, aud can
not Jet get the official figures. I learn unof.
ticially, however, that the Districts in excess
on the last two calls are the 18th, 5:h, 9th, 7th,
s,h, 9Th, 10th and 18th. The Districts deli
citnt are the LIST, I'd, Sd, 11th and 12tI1.
The heaviest excess is in the 18th, and the
heaviest deficit in the 12th or St. Clair coun-
ty district. The deficit in the 1st Cook coun-
ty district is 75+. If the druft is not over
;60, eco We are not Justly liable to draft, pro-
| vidud VIC are given credit for our excess in
| former calls.
| The imputation Of neglect on the part Of
Gov. Yates, in the dispatch ofyesterday to the
| Times, is most unjust and false, and was known
to be so by the author. The truth is, for the
last eighteen months Governor Yates and tie
/ Adjutant General hare made most strenuous
ctIorts to have Illinois credited with all troops
from Illinois, now serving In Missouri regi-
ments, the result Of which was. the adoption
Of General Order No. Co., ofWar Depart
meDt, providing that States furnishing ma-
jority ofthe companies Of y regiment, we're
to be credited with such regiment. Under
this order the 59th Illinois, wholly
from this statc, and :E,r.nerly known
ia the 9th Missouri, was rcclaimed
by this State, and better regiment
never left the stats. The Goth, formerly the
18th Missouri, is now recognized as an Illi-
nois regiment. Under this order the State
authorities Of Missouri hare opposed the
transfer Of other regiments, called Missouri
regiments, not made up wholly or principally
OF Illinois meD, and but for the opposition,
iiuA u u1eiAE4lAat!NA VI LIE 4IAA 0SIAikuCHl
to interfere, other regiments especially the
ID, Stl and l11l Missouri, would long since
have been recognized as Illinois regiments
Every effort las been made by Gov. Ya:es
and will continue to be made, to have these
troops recognized as Illinois regiments. Cook
county is not credited with all tho soldier:
actually enlisted there. the officers having
gone By the descriptive rolls, which give the
residences Of all soldiers. This operates Il
htr disadvantage.
