The day was chiefly occupied yesterday, with
Company, Regimenta and Brigade drilling and
evolatons. rne day was extremely beautiful,
aud the military display quite interesting
Gen. Jackman is most competent and efficient
officer, and he is ably seconded. The good
fruits Of this first Brigade Muster will undoubt
eddy he seen and felt in the increased efficiency
Of Companies throughout the Brigade, and in
II greatly superior exhibition on the occasion of
the neat one,
To-day, the ceremonies of which were cx-
pectcd to be the most imposing and attractive,
the rain has seriously intelfGred with the execu-
ton af the order Of proceedings. Tn Review
OF the Brigade, by the Governor, though some
what hurried by the threatening storm, was
very handsomely performed, and the entire
Brigade drawn up IN II Line, and with the Off
GERS at their posts, Gen Jackman in the front
centrc,) the colors gaily flying, and the Brigade
Band (the Woodstock Corncts) playing " mar
tlal strains, presented Il most creditabc, gal
liant and brilliant appearance. Each Regiment
did itself honor, and | feel no disposition to
partcularize in this hurried memorandum of
the OCCASION but it is no disparagement to
Others to allude to the encomiums that were
bestowed upon Capt Washburns Woodstock
Light Infantry, Capt. Ripley's 1t. Guards,
Capt. Blodgetts Bradford Guards, and Can't.
Patterson S Mortified Guards The Ransom
Guards, the Howard Guards, the Swanton
Guards, and the Allen Greys, and, in fact, the
4th Regiment generally, deserve to be mentioned
IN the sumO connection.
This afternoon the several companies were
exercised in Company and platoon firing, and
the Brigade was then manmuvcred by Gen.
Jackman, going through military movements,
at the word of command, in manner highly
creditable, considering that it was first at
tempt at Brigade evolutions
The firing was generally good, the mark of
/ superior excellence being awarded by the Re
porters, (who. OF course, could not be mista-
ken y to the Mortified Guards and the Rutland
Guards. in the LIST Regiment, the Woodstock
It. Infantry and the Bradford Guards, in the
I'd Regiment. and to the Howard Guards and
the Ransom GuarCs in tina 4th Regiment.
The Camp was broken up at o clock, and
thus terminated the first Muster of the entire
Uniformed Militia of the State. The occasion
is admitted, on all hands, to have been one Of
success-much higher than, under the circum-
stances, might reasonably have been expected.
Aside from the zeal and intelligence of the sol
dicrs, and the honorable emulation of Compl-
ny officers, much is due, for this gratifying re-
suit, to the military capacity and activity of
Gen. Jackman, to the presence of Gov. Hall,
to the warm cooperation of Adj. Gen. Baxter,
and to the efficiency and readiness of Field and
Staff Officers generally
The manner in which the police of the Camp
has been made deserved much praise. A more
orderly and quiet Eucampment than this has
been, or one moro free from excuses of all
kinds could scarcely be desired. 1t has been
an excellent Inauguration of this feature of
our militia system, and it may be properly ex-
pected that its successors will each he an i'm
provcment in the matter Of military science
and skill.
All we can say is, that the weather was as
favorable as usual, and everything appeared
highly satisfactory. The companies did them
selves great credit, and left very favorable i'm
preston with the immense crowd of spectators
who were present We saw nothing of the
editor of the Sentinel, and presume he found
his " ten acre lot" amply sufficient for his evo-
lutions, and that the military editor over to
Brandon found sufficient dry ammunition"
and straw or two on which to lay his head.
