DEAR SIR: instead Of few days now
appropriated 10 training, and The very
few hours of those days actually employ
ed, some weeks, at least must be deVo'
ted to the purpose, and The men must be
taught in camps of discipline. those du-
ties, which, representing faithful image
of actual war, form the best school in
which it can be taught.
~ have recommended camps of dis
cipline for inslructing those who are al
ready capable of bearing arms; but the
career of military instruction for our
youth should commence as soon as their
mental and bodily powers have acquired
sufficient strength,--Professorship OF tao
tics should be established in all our SEM
inaries, and even The amusements of the
children should resemble the gimnasa
of The Greeks.
"It will, no doubt, be urged as a rea
son for continuing the old plan, that the
poorer class of our citizens cannot spare
five or six weeks in year from ihei
farms to do military duty. know hat the!
cannot without being paid. But is no
our government able 10 ply them? l
not, they ought TO make themselves SO
by laying on additional taxes. But al
persuaded that the money which is de
voted TO other objects might be more use
fully, and certainly more consistently, de
voted to this purpose. Under our pre-
sent circumstances the six thousand re
guIar troops we have are very proper; bu

militia would be better, and The none
which is spent in the former would 500
effect the discipline Of tho latter.
