The Springfield correspondent of the
Chicago Times, who by the by, is always
right on matters of interest to the people, /
shows the great injustice done to Illinois,
in the assessment of quotas under the last
call for 100000 troops
lie states that heretofore the quota of
Illinois, under a call for 500, 600, has beer
46, 600. This was excessive, but was &C.
quiosced in. Now, however, the quota is
over 600
The correspondent Of the Times draws q
comparison with Massachusetts, which
shows the greatest Injustice in assessing
the quotas. AbJIitiouists defend Massa~
chusetts on the ground that very great
proportion Of the population is females -
/ The examination Of the official returns viii
show the policy Of this. The population
of Massachusetts, is 23l O66 the popu-
lation Of Illinois is l,7lI,05l. The mum
Der of mules in Massachusetts from Is to
so is 343 95S the number in Illinois 464
354. 1t will thus be seen that the Iro
portion in the two States Of males be r.
tween Is aud so, in accordance with the
population, is very near the same. But
Massachusetts is called upon for 81 60,
and Illinois 52.057.
If Massachusetts is required to furnish
out Of those liable to draft, which is, as is
shown, 81 60, what ought Illinois to be
required to furnish cut of AGA 1854? 1t is
a plain rule of three proposition. and the
answer is 29, 290-and yet we are called
on for 52,O57.
Again Massachusetts, and other States
have not been required to furnish their dee
ticiencies under former calls.
Now the inj ustice in requiring Illinois
to furnish 52,057 under the late call for
100000, is too gross to be borne in 81
leuce. Illinois and the Western States
/ generally have come up to the work, and
50 long as the war was prosecuted for the
restOrat ton of the Union and not fol the
abolition Of slavery, there was no necessity
for q draft. The people left their farms,
their workshops, their stores, and their
various occupations aud enlisted under the
banner Of the Union.
But it was not 30 with Abolition New
England and the older states They were
all behind in the work of furnishing sol.
diers-snd Massachusetts, particularly
which had done more to bring on the a2'
palling conflict than oil other sections o.
the country, was the most remiss of any
other state. Her citizens could talk wal
and speculate in shoddy and government
contracts, but as to sending out thOst
swarms promised BY Gov. Andrew, few
negroes, enlisted mostly in ether states
and few incomplete regiments were al
that came at the call of the Executive.
And another great Injustice to lllinOi
in making out our quota, is in not allowing
our State extra credit for the length o.
time cur excess Of troops have enlisted for
, The nine months men and one year mel
j Of other states have been put on an equa
i footing with the three years men from Iii
v nois in making out the quota.
II 1t remains to be seen whether the free
men Of Illinois will submit to such trea
= ment much longer.

There was an excursion from Chicago

about z miles from this city, aud returning
the train stopped at Mokena, where a ter
rlble rict occurred. 1t seems that some of
the excursionists who had been drinking
freely went to the Hotel Of John Sheik,
and commenced an indlscriminate dustruc-
tim Of property. Mr.. Sheik warned them
to desist. when they attacked him, beating
him with glasses and portions OF his coun
ter, which they had broken up for the pur.
pose. Two friends IF bis, soldiers on fur

/ a regular coufiOt ensued between the par
ties The soldiers took position in a room

becoming TOO hot, the rioters returned to

three OF the wounded have since died.
