THE MILITIA.---tn extraordinary incident
has lately occurred in Baltimore, in the resignation
sof al the officers from the Col. TO the ensgns. of
tho dis,inguished 9Th regiment OF Militia which
comnosed entirely of Volunteer Companies, aEd
formerly commanded by the late General Strcser.
The cause of this singular measure was the appoint
ment by the Executive of the Adjutant of the re-
pi,,ent to the m orty OF it, instead OF the senior
c'sp,ain who WAS also the senior of the Adiutan
Whether the latter was personally obnoxious to
;he officers of the regiment, does not appear bat
they contend in their address to the Governor that
the senior Captain, having held his commission
longer than the Adjuiant had his, by military
rule and the usage of the regiment, entitled TO the
promolion, and that the rule in this case was III
harmony with the wishes of the regiment and con-
lormable TO the standing principle OF allowing 10
volunteer corps the special privilege of selecting
their own officers The Executive Of the State
not yielding TO the request of the officers to revoke
the commission of the new Major, and the latter
insisting holding it, they all threwlup their
commissions, and by vote of every company in IL
the regiment was dissolved and disbanded Whe-

they assumed, and in their ultimate course,

with the high character which the regiment long
sustained for discipline and efficiency, must regret
its dissolution. Nat Int.
ATHENS, GEo. JUN 22.--The final exami-
nation of the Senior Class in our University, has
closed and we understand that it was attended by
greater number of the Trustees than usual, a.
rpong whom distinguished feow-citizen
w. ii. Crawford, who, with the of his col
leagues seemed TO take a greater interest in the
subject than l. common such occasions. We
are happy to learn that the Glass acquitted them
selves with great credit, and gave the Faculty
and Trustees, unusual satisfaction. The number
OF graduates commencement will exceed that of
any preceding Glass, who have received the Col.
lege honors.
We are informed that Mr.. Crawford attended a
large party, given by the President of the Univer-
sity, to the Senior Class, at which, with an unu-
sua flow of spirits, he joined in the social pleasures
OF such an occasion, and contributed much to the
general satisfaction by his free and cheerful
saiion.
II is source of peculiar qualification to witness
the public services of this ine-tinable individual
recommending under circumstances prasewor-
thy to himself, and 80 pTopitious to the best int
rests of his state The lively concern which he
seemed to feel and express for the literature of
Georgia must have been greatly heightened by
the recollection, that the judcious management
OF his own distinguished precepor, its present hou-
Eshng condition was mainly attributable, and that,
under his auspices, it had received character and
direction that would be sensbly felt in all its future
tendencies, however diversified or remote.

The North CdroHna.--We have seen a letter
from gentlemen on board the u. S. ship North
Carolina, to his friend in this city, dated Gibraltar
Bay, May 18th. The writer says they had fine
run across the Atlantic; and that the ship proves to
be remarkably fine vessel, and much faster than
was anticipated, having gone eleven and twelve
Knots without all her sails set. II was believed
generally on board that she would out-sail the Con-
silution, and if So would be the fastest vessel in
the service

Visit TO the ship; he expressed himself highly
pleased with the appearance of the vessel and
crew, and rendering his thanks to the officers for
