.ORD ELCFIO ON THE RELATIONS OF VOLUNTEER
ICEIIEI AND PRIVATES.—Lord Mello has ad-
sed the following letter to the editor of the Badding-
'tire Courier :—" Amisfield, Oct. 25.—Sir,—In. the
'clutoon Courier of Friday last reference is made to the
of• your having been precluded from dining at the
era' mess of the East-Lothian Rifle Volunteers, on the
skin of the inspection of the regiment, in consequence of
r having appeared there in the uniform cf a private
he corps, Having myself had the honour of dining
he mess on the occasion referred to, and having at
time heart of the circumstance of your exclusion, I
etted then, as I regret now, that the rulas of the
era' mess exclude privates of the corps in uniform.
object, howeeer, in now writing is not to find fault with
s laid down by gentlemen by whom I have been hospi-
y entertained, but to express the strong opinion I hold
in the volunteer service an officers' mess is a mistake.
cuipily,
ltura allll social grades, from dukes to mechanics and
abourers, are to be found in our ranks, but a
nteer'e position in the force does not depend on his poei-
in society. There are men serving in the ranks who
iocially the equals, in. many cases oven the superiors, in
on and wealth of the officers under whom they serve.
~n on duty, the strictest discipline is maintained by
nteers, and privates, no matter what their social posi-
may be, always pay ready obedience to those placed in
,ortty over them. But when off duty, When mixing
illy together, military distinctions should be at an end;
iniform of the private should not be barred w that
le officer is free. Such at least, I venture tore
Lid be the rule of the service so far as regards our social
•course, and such generally I believe it to be. The
Lothian Yeomanry Cavalry have a mess, at which
I have been hospitably entertained; but, if I am not
aken, it is not an ' officers' mess.' And in the interests
la li:eat Lothian Rifle Volunteers, whose well-being I
?• much at h-art, I would gladly tree every member of
corps who chooses to pay for hie dinner free to dine at
