Michigan Military Law.

The State military board Of Michigan have
prepared with great care law organizing the
State militia, which tue Legislature will un- !
doubtedly pass. It is modelled after the
Massachusetts plan, with some improvements.
The State is divided into four military districts,
with one regiment assigned to each; two
regiments form n brigade, and to each brigade
a battery Of artillery is to be attached, with
officers Of engineers, ordnance and staff. A
Major General commands the whole force,
under the Governor. AL the militia arc to be
known as estate troops" They are to be
enlisted for six years, at the expiration Of
which time they arc exempt from poll taxes,
jury duty, highway assessment, and from any
tax on property Of less yaluc than $500. Once
In each year they are to be mustered for drill
and service, the camp to continue not longer
than ten days, each soldier receiving one dollar
4 day for such service, and officers according
to the pay Of the same rank in the army, pro
rata. All old commissions arc revoked, and
the Governor starts anew in organizing the
force. There is to lie State military board
Of five members, appointed for two years, to
audit bills. The force will consist Of about
1900 men, and the expenses Of the military
establishment will he about $4,000 q year.
In addition, there has been some efforts in the
Legislature to establish State military school
OF military department in the University,
but the money question prevents the reallza
| tion Of the plan at present, instruction in
military tactics, in the common schools, viii
| be encouraged.

ENGLISH OPINION.

The people Of England are divided into
two classes, the Lords and the Commons.
The first sympathize with a strong Govern
ment, and believe IN special privileges and
IN upper class; while there is nothing more
.tbhotred and hated By them than Democ-
racy. The Mobility and their friends be-
ieye some were made to rule and some to

living seeds Of insurrection, anarchy and

A Grand Blovtation for Kentucky--
Done Better than nmasxachusetta.
fErotn the mi ssi1le fnnr1al 9th

From the telcgraphic synopsis of the mes
sages Of the respective Governors Of Massa-
chusetts and Michigan. We learn that each Of
these States has some q, eco troops in the
Union army. This is just the number TINT
Kentucky has now in the field, according to
the official report from Frankfort And yet
many Of the Northern papers only few
weeks ago snccrcd at our contributions and
efforts to the Union cause! These first men
toned States, although they hare been en-
gagged in the work Of recruiting for nearly q
year, yet they have no more soldiers in the
field than We have, who only commenced sew
cral months ago. And let it be remembered
that nearly one-third Of our population IL dis
loyal-that We have not near as large q
number Of free whites rs either Of these
States, and that thousands Of our best fighting
young men are in the rebel army. When
these things are considered, we ariyo at the
conclusion that Kentucky, instead Of doing
badly, h2s done better than any other State
certain 1t is. she has furnished more men in
proportion to her loyal citizens.

Rebel Foray In iowa.
From the lowe State Register. 3th-1

Hon. Fl. ". English, Senator from Fremont
county, brings Us the intelligence that band
Of secession marauders, some 50 in number,
headed by ruflun named y arren Price, made
part of Fremont county on Tuesday morning
Of last week. About dozen of these
outlaws proceeded at one o'clock in
the morning to the residence Of T F.
Fugitt. nearly mile north Of the State
line. Five OF six Of them entered the house
relations. On awaking, Mr.. Fugitt, without
being observed, escaped into another room,
from which, after ar1ning himself with Il gun,
lie returned. One OF the marauders cried out,
s'tEe id black abolitionist is going to shoot
us ~ and in great alarlu the whole party, save
one, heat 4 retreat from the house; Mr. Fugitt
fired as they turned to retreat, and he thinks,
although he docs not know certainly, that
the shot from his gun entered the back Of
one Of the villains. Ono Of the miscreants re-
manned, and at the time the gun exploded, he
was in the act Of pulling out d-slwcr from
tile bureau, Thinking he had but an empty
gun to contend with, he drew q revolver and
fred, the ball taking effect in the arm Of Mr..
Fuaitt. He fired q second time, the bail pass
ing through tho same arm. Mr.. F., although
partially disabled, clubbed his mnshet, aud
advancing on the assai1ant, struck lima severe
blow on the head; but willie in the act Of d.
ing so, the pistol was again discharged, and
Nj. F. fell to the floor With Il terrible wound
in the neck. After :e had fallen, the coward
IL r,1ffians returned, iusulted the helpless wife
and children, spur1led the inanimatc body Of
the husband, wantenly destroyed what prop
erty they could lay their hands on, and finally
| left the house aud farm, after stealing eleven
| horses which were on the place.
| It appears that 4 young man named Findlay
| had followed the marauders ut 8 safe distlnce,
| and had watched their movements, and after
| they lad left tie house he went in and render
cd what service lie could to the family.
| Through his agency the ncighbors in the
grove were soon apprised OF the outrage; and
| Ut sunrise thirty-tiy mounted, men under the
lead Of Mr. English, were following hard after
tue band. Two Of Mr. Els company, who
| had been detailed as scouts, camc up With
two Of the band in Iowa who had 81,
stolen horses in their possession. 4 running
fire took place between the parties. which
resulted III the death Of one Of tic villains
