On Saturday lsst,o general review oi
The Militia Of Madison co1niy took place
near Canton, 81 which Governor Ne.
Matt and suite, ani Major General Dan.
lap sud bis s,utf were present The
various companies belonging 10 the Re
gment seemed 70 have been well drilled
and disciplined, and the promptness, de-.
cision, and military bearing Of the Off.
GERS were alike crediiablc to themselves
and the county. Colonel Jones certain
ly deserves much praise for his indcla.i.
gable exertions in thus organizing his
regiment; and We doubt not that he con.
siders himself we'll remuneratcd for his
trouble, by the promp;ness with which
the citizens of Madison have seconded
his endeayors, and by the compliments
Of his superior officer. He went through
twelve eyoutions on Saturday, with
great accuracy and precision, and with
out committing single mistake; in short,
the performances of the regiment were
such as to elicit from the Governor the
remark, that she Il had seen no regiment
in the State better organized and disci-
plinedn
