roads leading to and from the Ferry to be put
in good repairs has an excellent set of boats
and hands; and, owingto the particular form of
the river at low water, and during all the fall
and winter months, he can make three trips
across the river Mississippi, at this ferry, sooner
than one trip can be made at any other ferry
on the same river within the state by which
travellers will not meet with any detention or
delay: and that they may not be msled, or
made to so out of the road, all persons de-
srous of travelling this way, will please to fol-
low these directions
On leaving Milton for the river, keep the
ieft-hand road at the foot of the bluff. 1t is le-
vel and dry. In travelling to the east from St.
Charles to the state Of Illinois, take the right
hand road when you get within about a mile
Of smeltzers, where you will observe the

To the Caftains, Su6alterns, STAFF, Nom
commissioned officers, and Pripate8
ofMe Regiment Of Militia undea' the
command Of Col WILLIAM PARKIsoN
rONCElVING it necessary that YOU should
" understand and know the law to which
youare particularly amenable and under which
you are called to act and as the militia law Of
this state is partially published, and not dis
tributed to every company by the leg; stature
as it ought to be, as is the case in some of the
states, l presume many of you have not
had an opportunity of reading it: and the
law being so unmethodicaly arranged, and
jumbled together, so unintelligible, ambiguous,
contradictory, lame, and faulty, il is very diff
cult for any one to ascertain the duty assigned
him by it have, agreeably to the request of
several officers of the regiment, endeavored
to select such parts of the law as particularly
respects your duty, and arranged them in such
manner as conceive to be more Ineligible
and convenient.
AS there is no provision in the militia law
of this state for electing officers after the first
Saturday of June last, recurrence must be had
to the constitution of the state and the Sd
section of the 5th article of the constitution
directs that company officers shall be elected
by the persons composing their several COM
panies.
BY the law, no person is eligible to be elect
ed an officer, unless he be citizen of this
state, and has resided within the bounds of his
company six months.-Sect. E.
Any officer declared duly elected, shall be
entitled to certificate from the officer nect
highest in rank, who is to administer to the Off
Ger elected the necessary oaths, which are to
be indorscd on the certificate, which certificate
shall enttle him to act as an officer till conf
mission can be procured.-Sect. 9.
And as no mode is pointed out by the con-
stitution how the election for officers shall be
conducted, Iconceive that when captain is to
be elected major ought to preside, superin-
tend the election, give the certificate as the
officer next highest in rank, and administer the
oaths. And when lieutenant is to be elected,
captain to preside, give the certificate, &c.
When aD6fficer SO elected receives his com.
mission, he is again to take the necessary oaths
within ten days after receiving his commission
and previous to his entering on the execution
of his Office, certificate of which shall be en-
dorsed on the back of his commission by the
person administering the same, and within
twenty days thereafter give notice to the pro-
per officer, and send the date of his commits
sion to the adjutant of the regiment, and on
failure thereof he shall be considered as refus-
ing to accept of the office-lSect. 6.
Captains or commanding officers shall enrol
every free, white, male inhabitant within the
bounds Of their respective companies, of the
age Of eighteen years and under forty five
years, Except those who are excepted by law
aud those who, from time to time, arrive at the
