We already perceive, that several sub
iects are about to occupy the serious at
tention OF Congress, which we bad not
counted upon among the attractions OF the
present session.
A bill was Yesterday reported by the
committee on the subject of the Militia,
which embraces some proposliins OF rather
an original character; and as II IS possible
il may not be destined, like its predeces-
sors tor fifteen or twenty years past, to lie
on the table, or slumber IN the bosom OF a
committee OF the whole until forgotten by
the mere lapse of time. we think il proper
TO give to our readers general notice OF
its provisions.
1t is proposed, then, that all the commits
siund aud non-commissioned officers, above
the rank of corporal, in each brigade in the
United States, shall each year be assem-
bled together and encamped, within the
limits OF each brigade, for a certain num-
Der of days, under the command OF the 9th
GERS commanding brigades respectively;
to receive pay and allowance for travelling;
and to be governed by the ru,es which are
prescribed for the government OF the Army
and Militia OF the United States, and to be
subjected TO the discipline, &c. prescribed
by the same authority. PripGfes in the
Militia are TO be exempted from doing any
Militia duty, on paying from i've to ten dol
lars yearly and every year, to such person
as the State Legislature shall prescribe
the money thus paid TO be applied exclu-
siyely to disbursements under this act.
We are not disposed to ind fault with
the basis OF this bill, which we shall pub
l;sh at large, but there appear TO US TO be
some difficulties in the detail, which can.
not be obviated but by considerable a
mendmsnt OF it. Nat. Int.

state, that the l.. is doubled because the

manner as MS. stands for manuScribL
