THE BRIGADE MUSTER.
Our own arrangements for 4 report Of the
Montpelier Muster having fallen through,w we
avail ourselves of the very full report Of the
Boston Journal, to which ve have little to
add, except that our own Company, the
Howard Guards, occupied the post of honor
at the right Of the Regiment, and attracted
much observation by the excellence Of their
drill and the precision Of their firing
The grounds selected for the purposes Of
this muster are familiarly known as the
Langdon Meadow and in the &" olden times, -
before the military spirit of the once gallant
Green Mountain Boys was killed out by leg
islative enactment, were frequently used for
similar purposes. They are in all respects
peculiarly pleasant aud well adapted to mill
itary drill and display, They are skirted on
the north and west by the Win00ski river,
and on the south By numerous hills and bluffs
! from the sides and SUBMITS Of which good
views of all that is done upon the field may
be obtained by the hundreds Of spectators
who throng them,
Under the supervision Of an energetic com
mittee Of arrangements from Montpelier,
headed by John W. Clark and Fred L.
Smith, the grounds have been placed in adj
mirable order for present uses. Running
water, - clear as crystal, is furnished in
great abundance f1r the use of the troops, by
aqueducts temporarily laid down. Of the
tents erected, there are l03, - Of which, /
am told, have been kindly furnished by Adj
utant General Schouler, Of your State.
1t is the first Brigade muster ever held in
the State. | am therefore not surprised to
notice the evident very wide ielt interest
which it awakens. 1t is net to be, perhaps,
50 much a display and parade as n drill-a
school and Gen. Jackman, who stands at
the head of the military school at Norwich,
is the very man to conduct it. 1t IS the
purpose to devote much Of the time Of the
two days remaining to the instruction Of the
officers and com panies Of the Brigade in the
most familiar manner. To-day very little
has been accomplished except to make
ready" for the work Of to II rroN.
SECOND DAY.
The exercises OF the encampment have
consisted mainly Of TIE usual routine Of camp
duties. These, however, as indicated by the
