MITTTTA MUSTERS.

For Zen years, we have not once failed
 fAree times year, either to handle our mus
 ket or brandish our swOrd-ten times have
 performed days service at the parade
 eround--have now an honorable dlscnarge
 from the mander-in-chief-and with JOY
 retire from the scenes of war to our peaceful
 "hermitage."
 We may venture to say that our situation
 has enabled ws to obtain some experience, the result of which we will make known for the
 benefit of all whom it may cOncern-and It
 does, directly or indirectly, concern every one'
 Wehave learnt that the eOi1s of musters are pesitive-while their good effects are at least questionable.
 We have observed more scenes of drunken ness, riot and quarreiIing at general musters than ever met our eyes elsewhere.
 We have seen more men forget their won't cd dignity, and degrade themselves before host of spectators, than on any other occasion.
 We have known no public exhibition which is more injurious to the morals of the young. not from any evil in viewing collection of soldiers, but from the bad company into which they are drawn on these occasions.
 We have known men to aeorp their coNscisn- ces most terribly in framing an excuse for not performing this grievous duty. Have seen che poor cripple, with bandaged foot, and wofal look, pleading his excuse in the morn- ing, and 60 speedily cured as to be enabled in the afternoon to keep time with the violin on che light fantastic toe. Have known the man who was a pretty sure shot at sixty yards, plead for excuse the lack of vision. Have known men who are well able to eat full ra- tiop, and perform hard days work without fatigue, unable t0 tr0in, Lc. SIc.
 Not man have we known who has per- 1 Eormed duty in the racks of the militia from fhe age of sixteen until he is forty, land we have known several such.) whs was any bet 1 ter soldier than the average militia men ofone ! years standing. .aa. | or those who perform duty in the ranks of the militia. much greater proportion of good soldiers are found under twenty-0n years Of age, than are found over.
 We have enjoyed sufficient intercourse with the company officers of the regiment for several years past, to know that nearly the same opinion is held by them all. with regard to the efficiency of our militia under the pres ont system, and that opinion is, that the in- struciions given b soldiers are of very little use-and that a raw recruit well drilled for two days, with view to service, would make a far better soldier than one who has dragged out twenty years in musters and company trainings. ~
 All that the public safety requires is, that every man should be enrolled, equipped and inspected once year-and that officers should be we'll instructed in their duty.-Portsms. Jou.
