B The Aurora Beacon makes complaint
that recruits SO from that city to Chicago,
enlist, get their 800 bounty, and are then
credited to Chicago, instead Of Aurora This
may be true, and if so, it is perfectly Just.
The Iacm4 should rccollect that in 1862 some
two thousand men cane from the rural dis
tricts to Chicago, received the bounties Of
fered by the Board Of Trade and Mercantile
Association, purely local Institutions, and
were then credited 10 the towns OF counties
whence they came. That was wrong. If
counties OF cities, from want Of patriotism,
or any other motive, decline or neglect to
provide bountics to I'LL up their quotas, their
citizens, who wish to enter the service, are
justified in enllsting where more Hberality is
practiced, and be credited accordingly. Those
who neglect to employ the same inducements
have no right to complain.

HOGs.-TAe receipts since Saturday amount to
about 800 hogs, consequently thcre has been but little
scope for the legitimate activity OF tho market. OF
the receipts nnd the small quantity OF stock remain.
Ing over unso1d from last week, the most has been
made in the way of selling and Ee-selling from Which
the best criterion is given by which to estimate the
real hrmness OF the market. lot OF sol head re-
celyed ycsterday at the Southern yards averaging
2C1 np, was sold before they we're all unsh1ppcd
at Sss, and rekold within hour for $6.o Tot the
Philadelphia market.
There are scarcely two opinions to the quantity
of hogs still remaining In tho country, and as neces
sary consequence those whose waits are Es pressing
win be prepared to do the best they in the way OF
price, but will certainly not allow any reasonable
advance to deprive them Of the balance needed.
With this fact pretty generally believed, holders OF
stock arc looking for higher rates. and the few os at
present arriving are held very firmly. Tie entered
sales since Saturday amount to Lea head at prices
ranging from S6c0@8.1 per 100 rs. In the transac-
tions Of the market, prices hare been firm sud m.
