Aloutorey of tho 22d Juno last that Gov.
Vidauri upon being informed of tho de-
feat and disporaion of Cortinas and his

do measures to pursue and if possible
chastise tho banditti. Accordingly on
tho 23th of May last ho issuod official or-
ders to tho Alcaldes of Urn jurisdictions of

ailccillo and Aldauuis. with instructions
' to raise in theirrodpootivo districts what-
ever force which they may conaiiler avail-
able to pursuit und apprehend tho marau-
ders or prevent thorn from entering tho

is to solicit your am auu your mnuence anu
active efforts in obtaining suph aid from"
others around you. in bhalf'of tho objects
of the society aaotfoi;thpbove. The coni-
nut'tee is authorized to receive subsorib.
tinnsof money smck.or produce of all
kinds in such sums and quantifies as each
subscriber carl libitdl'1 'All will' be equally
available in fitting cut aud subsisting our
brave volunteers who have left our iriidstj
and are already in the field to meet the foe.
The appeal is to your patriotism. It is in
behalf of all th.at w.o'hpld dear as Souther
jiers and freemen; i is that each one may
lend a helping haudto hold up the arms of
our young Government in it its gallant and
linlystrugbifor independence andforthe
sacred rights of its citizens; it ist in brief to
prepani for the defeufeo 46f oir very homes
aud hearth-stones agaiwst the ruthless rav-
ages of our Northern enemies.
Tho recent Mossagc oMr Lincotn de-
manding an army of half a1 million of men
and $400iODO;000 and the usurping to him
self dictatorial powers both of which de-
mands liave probably been accedod to ere
this by tho U. S.. Congress aesemblotHn
Washington tho invasion of Southern soil
by large armies the inhuman massacres in
cold blood of helpless men women and
childrpn to say nothing of tho vvholesalo
destruction and robbery of private property
andt'their already numberless outrages
against all honor common decency and vir-
tue: and lastly the presence of an unscrup
ulous and hateful enemy on our very shores '
of Texas while their cannon frown upon)
Galveston and threatens to .level ourjprinci-
pal seaport city in ashes: these are facts
which speak in plain and startling tone to
every patriot. 'J?hey constitute the most
powerful appeal to his love of country and
his liberality. The Committeo believe the
opportunity only is wanting for the great
ipajcity if not all of our citizens to come
fprward and do their whole duty in this
matter.
Throughout the Confederate States the
people without distinction "of age or of sex
arecoptributing (reoly to the support of our
glorious government. Let us fullow-citizeris
of Xoxfojt not be found behind the foremost
of them in out duty. Rather let us share
our nvans. at least as generously as our
chivalrous soldiers are prepared to shod
then blood in behalf of our common cause.
We enclose herewith a blank subscribtion
paper with a request ihat you will use your
endeavors to ubtain subscribtions in your
immediate vicinity or elsewhere as you
have opportunity aijd forward as soon as
possible to tho.Committee that ve may

Camps of Instruction have alre.idv boon
established throughout the State which if
carried out in accordance with their design
will form the bet points for concentrating
tho different companies and tho most use-
ful schools of discipline. They should bo
sustained. But under any circumstances .
the companies should drill as often and as
thouroiighl) as it in their power to do s
and-hdld themselves ready for service at a
mopit'nt's warning. Get any arms that
can bo obtained. There arc a greap many
arms in private hands throughout the Stale
aud every one of these of whatever descrip-
tion should 'bo put in-order and kept in
readinesss for the service. Every able-
bodied man in the State should pro-
vide himself with the best arms ho can ob-
tain and join some Military Company. Tho
commanding officer of each company should
at once report its organization to tho Adju-
tant General's office; and also its condi-
tion the term of service it desires to accept
whether it is willing to go beyond tho
imit of the tftate or profers to remain with
in it and especially the number and char-1
acter ofits arms 1 1ns is necessary in or
der that the Executive when ht? i required j
to raise an army may know on whom to
depend.
The Executive submits theso suggestions
to you; with thej confident bolief that they
will be acted upon promptly and universal-
ly. Ho warns you of the ooraing storm and
asks you to prepare to meet it.

Illinois und the War. Says a leading N.
York paper:
The Western railroads under tho influ
ence of the war are affectod with a dry rot
which must speedily be faul to them. This
'J '"")
is particularly the case with tho road
a that
run into Chicago. These several roads con-
verge tti.that place draining a regipn boun-
ded by the Mississippi as far South as
Cairo. A few years since 'the Galena Mind
Chicago was the only route 'into Chicago
There aro now many. The large business
done in passengers and merchandise during
tho land speculation and railrond building
has passed away and t!;cro remains only
the transportation of Ktaio to market.
The crops of the whole region aro very
prolific so much bo that notwithstanding
the exports wero larger during the lust
winter than ever before the prices on the
eve of a new harvest have fallen so low in
Chicago as hardly to p?iy transportation
having little or nothing to the producer.
Naturally "all the roads complete with each
other for this business aud tho freights
fall to ruinously low points. Al aro very
anxious for tho largest share of the only bu
s;noss within their rench. 1 he ditaculty

The Glafigov (Scotland) Ilerald'has es-
pousod qur course of indpendono. ItVays:
From the begtnniug-or tro Government
tho South has supplied the Union with its
principles and stalewmeiv while thfc North
has occupied itself with themes of making
money out of tho Government by means of
protective tariffs fish bounties war.. pen-
sion and land grants. The articles of asso-
ciation of 177 G were the n-sult of (Southern.
exertion aiid appeal the declaration of indo-.
pendenco of 177C was the composition of
177C
a Southern patriot; and tho Constitution of
1787 was chiofly the bandit ark of Southern
statesmen. From the organization of tho
Federal Government down to tho present
time all that has tended to the glory and
progress of the Union has been tho fruit
of Southern tninds; all that has conduced t'j v
the emolument of classes to the aggrand-
izement of the feyr and to the injury of tho
many has been the product of Norteorn
contrivance ingenuity and selfishness.
The great glory ofthe South in tier whole
connection with tho Federal. Government
has been the disinterestedness and unselfish
ness that have characterized her entire con-
duct; whereas selfishnos greed and avarice
.have been stamped on every measure of
Northern policy and are written on even-
page of Northern history.

It will be recollected that by order from

This prohibition it seems the director? f
