Is undo nabr, that the militia of the line, be
disciplined unless in active service, and then under

Sd. 1t is important, for reasons which it il deemed
unnecessary to state TO sustain the volunteer corps
throughout the State, to induce them uniform and
discipline themselves, and to some extent TO keen
them armed. This 10 difficult under existing circum

Of reducing the number Of militia musers. II scem-
therefore, worthy of considerations whether the plan
OF eXemptng man from the ordinary militia duty, in
consideration of years service in q uniformed volun
