their evolutions with consumnaie skill. and
showed that they had been under the disci.
pine OF an experienced drilI-master. In the
afternoon we were expecting 10 see great
things; but unfortunately we were compelled
TO witness war of the elements instead Of
theanticipated "Sham-fght" Had the beav-
ems been proptious, and the soldiers been
permitted to mingle in strife, there would no
doubt have been q splendid exhibition of
sham courage. AS il was, the spectators
were compelled TO spread their umbrellas

In conclusion, | would say that if the
present military system is continued for any
practical uses, some prompt measures should
be taken for its regeneration. Under exist
ing laws those who are disposed can shun
their duty; and have understood that the
militia in one town have for the last year
shrunk from the performance Of military du-
~, and, under the inefficcncy of the laws
screened themselves from justice. II men
shrink from the performance of their duty
in time of peace. where would they be found
when the war cry is abroad2 How would
Spartan mothers mourn over the degeneracy
OF such children. Such persons would prob
ably choose commander who would teach
them the use OF legs rather than Of their
arms. Surely such men deserve no, the
'thanks or love of men OF women" Ii the
present militia system ought TO be preserved
il is the duty Of the Legislature to make the
laws on this subject efficient Our coun-
try has ever defended itself hy making
the citizen soldier. and this we believe is
the only way which it can safely adopt for
its defence. We do not want a standing ar

The people, by proper discipline, are able to
defend themselves; well organized militia
is prepared for any emergency-for foes
within or without Let then the wise and
patriotic give their countenance and support
to this system, and citizens will freely take
upon themselves the character Of soldiers
and the good people Of Windham County
will be troubled with no more sham musters
