Gov. Yates left this city, yesterday, fol-


Springfield, where he will af1x the great
seal of State to his Proclamation, calling
the Legislature together for the purpose Of


passing militia bill and making the ap-


propiations necessary for arming and


equ1pping the men who will be organized
thereby. It is necessary and patriotic


movement and We are mistaken in the


character Of the people Of Illinois if they
do not respond to it with degree Of
a|acrity that will astonish the traitors who
have doubted their fidelity to the Consti-
tuition and the Union.


We see no need of delay. The power
Of the legislative body to borrow money
in this emergency to any amount necessary
for the objects to be attained,, is unques-
tionably clear. The language Of the fun
danenta law is explicit and emphatic.
That the time has come for the State to
make some vigorous and well-directed
movement for the security Of her peop1e,
and for sustaining the Federal power in
its contest with the madmen who wou1d
overthrow it, the recent affair at Charles
ton and the daily threats Of invasion from
the seeding States, leave no room
to doubt. Illinois must not be caught
She must follow the noble a. d
patriotic example Of Pennsylvania, Massa-
chusetts, Rhode Island and Ohio. Her inter-
est in the maintenance Of the Government
is incalculable, and all sacrifices demanded
by the crisis must be gladly submitted to,
that her interests may be protected. We
trust, then, that there will be no hesitation
no delay. The representatives of the
people may be safely and wisely consulted
in this exigency in our national affairs.
There should be, there must be, no divis-
ion among the parties rs to the great object
to be accomplished. Republicans and
Democrats for once will act in accord.
The instincts Of se1fpreseryation, to say
nothing Of the demands Of duty, will i'm
pei them to make common cause with the
Union men Of the other loyal States-ts
say to treason that it shall not prevail
Let the Legislature be called. Let the
State be armed.

The People nominated q ticket for Com
missioners Of Public Works on Saturday,
which they are bound to elect. Among
the many excellent names presented to the
Convention, it would have been difficult to
select three men Of higher character and
better business capacity than A1essrs.
WARNER, CARPENTER and G1SDE1LE.
Never within our knowledge Of city poll
tics and city conventions, has there been
so little scheming and 1cg-rol1ing to pro-
cure any nominations whatever. The re-
suit seems to have been unprecedented
and unexpected, and hence, when we coll
slider the fitness of the gentlemen named,
all the more satisfactory to the masses Of
the people.


Mr. CARPENTER is IN old resident Of the
North Division, well known both to the
business and laboring men Of the city. As
3 member Of the Common Council, to
which he WAS elected in a Democratic
ward, he gave not only dignity and charac-
ter to that much abused office, but marked
industry and efficiency. No man ever had
more weight, in mental or moral point
Of view, in the A1dermanic Office than
Benjamin Carpenter. There is no man IN
the North Division. or any other Division
Of Chicago, whose character for probity
stands higher than his, or whose election
will conduce more to the public confidence
in the new Board


Mr. WARMER is q member Of the well
known firm of Gates, Warner g. Chalmers,
Of the Eagle Iron Works. working man
Of eminent skill in his business, clear and
comprehensive intellect, and unblemished
integrity. BE is peculiarly fitted to guard
the interests Of the city in all matters relat-
ing to contracts for labor and material for
the public works, and will exercise a
sound, practical discretion in all matters
which may come before the Board.


Mr. GtSDE11E is practical engineer Of
i1rst-slass qualifications. Hls articles rub
hahed in this and other city papers On the
possibility Of enlarging the Illinois and
Michigan Canal to steamboat capacity.
have attracted general attention in this
State and elsewhere. The city will secure
the services Of a gentleman of excellent
scientific attainments by electine Mr.
GrEDELIE tothe Board Of Public Works,


We have said thus much Of the Republi~

adulation, but in the strict letter Of down

Vermont Brigade, and gave very sorrowful
account of the sickness of troops. About e.
leven hundred Of the brigade are on the sick
list; and in cases Of malignant typhus fever
there have been many deaths, The fourth
and fifth regiments which were hurried of
without thorough preparation, and arrived al
bad time, suffer the most. Still it is a re-
markable fact that even in these some compa-
nies have almost entirely escaped disease,
while Others have greatly suffered. Some
thing then is due to the precauton and care
of officers and men. The second regiment

The Enquirer processes to say that this
is sectional war. It may be sectional
in the South where they have q summary
way of making the people q unit; but that
it is not sectional in the North is sufficient
ly proved by the liberation of such masked
batteries of treason as the Enquirer among
us.


The Enquirer's remedy for sectionalism
is to secede the Western States: then to cut
off New England and then join the Cotton
States and thus make cotton supreme.


Besides. it wants an "old fashioned
Democratic party" in the Government -
We have just had one. The odor Of it,
corruption. treason and decomposition yss
taints the air. In one respect it would
be a convenience. Its corruption was so
monstrous that it was q physical impossi-

to days views agree with yesterdays; but
only that each impression shall be honestly
entertained, and intelIigibly expressed.


We have no favorite theory or policy to
advance or sustain in the prosecution Of this
war. We. think it no lowering ofpersonsi
dignity to admit that President L1NcoLy is
as patriotic man as ourself |; far bettsr in
formed as to the condition of affairs and
80, far more competent to ipdicate q
policy than we can possibly be. We accord
to his Cabinet an equal degree Of patriotism,
information, and sound judgment. We re-
alize the fact that these men, from the obli-
cations Of their position, are responsible for
the conduct of this war and that If they
cannot bring the country forth from its
dangers, it must inevitably go to anarchy
and ruin. We have faith in the President !;
and if such faith were not voluntary, the
necessities of the times would force US to
cherish it. Having such faith, we are con-
tent to follow the President and his policy.
This is our creed for the war and we shall
follow it until the President shall show i'm.
becility or corruption, of neither of which
will any reasonable man suspect him. Ifso
sustaining the Administration, it shall result
that we are brought into seeming inconsist.
encies of editorial expression, we will en-.
deavor to find consolation for that in the
success which must ultimately crown the
efforts of the Government. For, the pride

It appears that, in addition to his i'm
provements in the minutia of the army,
General Mcclellan has decided to organize
the army into corps d'armee, numbering
from $4,000 to sc, 900 men, and each placed
under an independent commander. This is
the plan pursued in the great armies of
Europe The formation of these corps will
not prevent the whole army from being
united under one head in any great pitched
battle. On the contrary, such an organi-
zation is the best mode of effecting a thor.
ough union. 1t accustoms troops to act
together in large bodies without confusion,
and when the day of battle arrives corps
takes its place just as easily as regiment,
and the formation Of the line is greatly
facilitated. Then if corps is required
for any special service or operation it
has its we'll known general to com.
mand it, and the efficiency of the troops
must necessarily be far greater than if they
were only temporarily combined under
new commander they had never seen before.
In this way, too, generals are trained and
their qualities developed and if any acci-
dent should befal the commander in chief in
battle, the army and the government would
be able to turn to a successor in whom they
could place reliance. Corps d'armes are
but the natural preliminaries to a great ar
my acting together, just as the regiment is
preliminary to the brigade, and the brigade
to the division. When we had an army of
only thirteen thousand men, corps d'arnaee
were out Of the question. But now the
case is altered. General Mcclellan evi.
dently understands his business.
