The 36th Illinois.

Capt. Baldwin received letters yesterday from the 36th. They are still in camp a few miles from Corinth. The health of the regiment is excellent. A number of the Captains and Lieutenants have tendered their resignations. Among them we understand is Capt. Adams, of Wayne. Col. Greusel is on his way back, and when he arrives , the long standing difficulties among the officers will be adjusted by a re organization, that we hope may harmonize matters and promote the efficiency of this splendid Regiment.

Orders have been issued to detail officers for recruiting service, so that under the new call for troops, the old regiments may be filled up to the maximum standard. In the organization of new regiments, we hope such disposition will be made as to render the organizations more harmonious than many of the old ones have been. At first this could not be secured as all were strangers, but now friendships have sprung up and fitness been tested, and we trust our forces may be made still more effective.
